Calle Ocho
One Vision.
One Dream.
25 Years.
In 2001, one man opened a Cuban restaurant with a simple idea: great food, strong drinks, and music that makes you move. Today, the iconic blue building on Calle Ocho is a Miami landmark.

What Our Guests Say
The Home of Cuban Food in Miami
A Calle Ocho Landmark Since 2001
For more than 25 years, the iconic blue building at 8000 SW 8th Street has been serving some of the most authentic Cuban food in Miami. Calle Ocho — the legendary street that runs through the heart of Miami's Cuban community — is our home, and our story is woven into it. What started as one man's dream in 2001 is today a landmark where locals and visitors come for the food, the mojitos, and the music that made us famous.
Authentic Cuban Cuisine
Our kitchen cooks the classics the way they're meant to be cooked: slow-braised ropa vieja, crispy vaca frita, lechón asado, and fresh seafood — recipes passed down through generations and served with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. Explore our full Cuban menu or see the signature specialties our guests keep coming back for.
Live Music, Salsa & Happy Hour
Four nights a week the band takes the stage: live music with salsa night and Cuban cabaret on Wednesdays, DJ nights on Fridays, and a full live band on Saturdays. And every single day from 4 to 7 PM, our happy hour brings 50% off 12oz drinks and $7 appetizers — one of the best happy hour deals in Miami. Check this week's schedule.
