kadmgs Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 This is what we did in December, but we got into Miami around noon on Saturday and went to Little Havana that afternoon/evening. We love Calle Ocho and the vibe down there. We lyfted from our hotel near the port around 3 pm and it was about $17 one way. Definitely worth it considering the amount of mojitos we consumed. We speak a little Spanish, but its not necessary to do what you want. We popped into Havana Collection clothing store to get DW a new ladies' Guayabera. Then, we headed down the street for food and drinks. We started at Ball & Chain, the famous nightclub that dates back to the 1930's, for a mojito and their Cuban spring rolls (a Cuban sandwich in a spring roll wrapper). It wasn't open when we were there in June due to COVID, so when we saw it was open we had to go. It was amazing, both the drink and the spring roll. They had a Cuban trio playing and they were great. At night they are a nightclub, so depending on what time you get down there keep this in mind. After we left Ball & Chain, we headed over to Old's Havana for more mojitos, some masitas, empanadas, and a café con leche. The picadillo a la habanera empanadas were amazing! I highly recommend them. They were not too spicy, but were seasoned deliciously. Their menu has English descriptions of all of the dishes. They also have a nice selection of rums to customize your mojito experience. We had the aged rum mojito and it was delicious. A different flavor versus a classic, but great none the less. We finished the night with some ice cream from Azucar. I highly recommend Abuela Maria. Café Versailles is the most famous Cuban restaurant on Calle Ocho, but its a bit of a walk from everything else. nessachelle and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
