Lario's "Really great food, drink and music"
Date: May 7, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Austin, TX
We recently visited So. Beach and found Larias on our last night. Too bad for us that we didn't find this sooner. The food was great, the drinks, especially their sangria was wonderful and the cuban band was so wonderful we did not want to go home that evening. Had we not had a early flight out, we might have stayed all night. We highly recommend this place!!!

Lario's "Great food & good music"

Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, MA
This was my second business trip to Miami and I made sure to bring my colleagues to Lario's. The food and service my first trip were great and now, two years later, it was even better!

The Mojitos are good, but the food is what keeps me going back. Try the cuban Pu Pu platter to sample appetizers and the Churassco or Cuban pot roast, both yummy! They have a great selection of Flan for dessert, I love the chocolate one! The band can be a bit loud for dinner,although fairly decent music, so make sure to sit away from the stage!

Lario's "Prefabricated Appetizers "
Date: March 8, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, NYC, NY
We went to Larios after 10pm for drinks and appetaizers, well the drink was more like a mango "frapee" never tasted the alcohol in it. The appetaizer was missleading in price it said $13 for two, they charged me $26. Everything in that pu-pu platter was prefabricated, my dog will not eat it. Nothing was done on premise. I will never return there.

Lario's "Love the coconut flan and Shrimp dish"
Date: January 22, 2005
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Miami, FL
It's really too bad that some people have had bad experiences with Larios. I personally found this restaurant to be one of the best in South Beach. I use to go almost every weekend to eat at Larios and found the service and food exceptional. I really love their coconut flan desert; it's very rich and smooth. My favorite meal was the shrimp in sauce with white rice and plantains!! I also like the way the pina colada is mixed. Very good. I hope that the people that had the bad experiences reconsider just one more time. I am not related to the Estefan's in no way shape or form, nor am I a friend. I just like the restaurant and it's one of my favorites. I just like to give credit when credit is due.

Lario's "Not the South Beach diet you want to try"
Date: August 6, 2004
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Washington D.C.
Lario's will forever live in my memory as the restaurant that provided the second food poisoning experience of my life. While returning from Brazil (where I ate and drank for 7 days without incident) my group was waylaid in Miami due to inclement weather, my group decided to grab a bite to eat and randomly chose Lario's while walking around. I had about four bites of the chicken in my "arroz con pollo" and within about 1/2 hour knew I was in for a long, and very unpleasant night. Had I know Gloria Estefan owned this dump I would have chosen another resturaunt without thinking twice. She has just given me another reason to dislike her. Avoid Lario's at all costs! Trust me, this is not the South Beach diet plan you want to try.

Lario's "Miserable Experience"
Date: July 22, 2004
Reviewer: MiamiBeach411 User, New Jersey
I was in SoBe earllier this year and a friend and I stopped at Lario's since we heard it was THE place to go. Crowded room; miserable service and nondescript food. Not going back...

Lario's "Go Gloria"
Date: March 8, 2004
Reviewer: MiamiBeach411 User, New York, NY
We stayed in South Beach for a week mid Feb. 2004. We are big fans of Gloria Estefan and since she is part owner in Lario's, we decided to try our first Cuban meal here. We ate dinner at Lario's twice! Excellent Cuban Chicken Soup, Chiurrasco (skirt steak) with a yummy dipping sauce. First night we ate at a table inside and had an friendly, attentive and helpful waiter. Second night we ate outside. Loved the people watching,the food was good, but our waiter was the pits. He didn't seem to understand English very well (or was he putting us on?) Good thing he wasn't our waiter the first night. We might not have returned. Service is important. Hope you're listening, Gloria!

Lario's "Lario's is a loser"
Date: February 17, 2004
Reviewer: Miami Beach 411 User, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Just got back from Larios in Miami Beach and my stomach still hurts. What a dissapointment. I am a big fan of Cuban Mojitos. I thought I would do some research and look for the best Mojitos in Miami Beach. The reviews looked great about Larios on the internet so I drove down with two friends and gave it a shot. What a let down. The Mojitos were watered down and served in basic tap water glasses. No sugar cane. Minimum effort put into these! They shouted " we do not care about you gringo! Take it or leave it. Hey, Gloria Estefan owns this joint. If you do not want to eat or drink our cuban waste there are plenty of other fat stupid tourists to replace you.. Deal with it." The prices were very classy though. 8 bucks a pop. Ok they got me. We ordered the pollo whatever. It was inedible. The rice was stale, the plaintains were greasy and vintage. The service was contemptuous at best but basically just apathetic. The ropa vieja lived up to its name and the bread was hard and dry. Basically if you want to have your stomach and pocket book abused you have found a home in Larios.
