Little Havana, Miami

Cuban food, cooked the way abuela would allow.

Family recipes, slow-roasted daily, served in a dining room that hasn't changed its heart since 1998. Only its silverware has.

"The ropa vieja alone is worth the drive from Broward."

Our story

"My mother cooked for the neighborhood before she cooked for a dining room. La Paloma is just the neighborhood, with chairs."
