Bongo's Cuban Cafe
(Restaurants - Cuban)
601 Biscayne Blvd, Miami  33132 • 786-777-2100
Distance: ~12.82 mi from The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club
Description: DOWNTOWN. For Cuban cuisine set to a pop beat, don't miss this cafe owned by singer Gloria Estefan and husband Emilio. Vivid colors, Latin beats, and plenty of bongos (of course!) get you in a festive mood, and the authentic Cuban cuisine is served with creative aplomb. Come early to enjoy a satisfying meal of roasted chicken marinated in orange and lime or the traditional Cuban strip steak. Wash it down with an exotic tropical drink, and then prepare to hit the dance floor, which starts hopping around 11pm. This is a great place to make a night of it. Reservations recommended.

You do not want to miss this one! Great food, and great dance floor around 11:00 pm. Cuban cuisine only. Try the Desserts Cheese or Queso Flan. A delightful pudding with Coconut. One local couple suggested it, and Boom we were in love. Also, don't worry if its raining, this club has a parking deck. Never get out in the weather to enjoy this spot. Have fun.

Bongo's was quite disappointing. The vegetarian dish included frozen birdseye bag vegetables... nothing fresh. Cuban Lasagna was lacking in the chicken that was supposed to be in it. Sub-standard service.
