As a Cuban and long time viewer of your content it makes me SO happy to see you experience our cusine. I love our culture and our food, and I'm a firm believer you can't know one without the other! Thank you for educating people on our delicious eats!
@@JohnHausser same here. Went to Cuba so many times. Not even a single complaint. Just the food is kind of plain. Just my opinion. As I eat lots of spicy dishes, they don't have any.
I don't think I have EVER left a youtube comment but as someone born and raised in miami and a resident of little havana for over a decade this video sucks. I live blocks away from both Palacios de Los jugos (a miami chain restaurant) and whatever that generic Cuban restaurant is next to the domino park. Neither is anything special. Then you ate a Cuban sandwich on SOUTH BEACH?! All he did was show tourist sites.
I’m a Cuban who was born and raised blocks from that Las Olas you went to! My mom would take me there for lunch all the time. Seeing you go to these places and enjoy our cuisine makes me so happy and nostalgic!
As a Cuban American who was born and raised in Miami, thank you Mikey. I've been WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS!!!! I no longer live in Miami. I left a few years ago and I live in Las Vegas, NV. Watching this video brought me back so many memories. So many amazing Cuban places in Miami. I haven't had Cuban food in a super long time.....I'm a bit sad...
Not Cuban, but a fellow native Miamian. I miss Cuban food sooooo much! And Cuban bread-- it ain't a Cuban sandwich without that bread! I so wish I could get that on the regular-- it is my favorite bread in the world. *sigh*
@@athenastewart9167 Agreed. When I was living in Cali, I had a hard time finding authentic Cuban bread, but when I did, it was shitty - wasn't even close to the real thing. I didn't realize that food was special until I left FL. They always say that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I love the west mostly cus of the weather and it's cheaper than the east by a lot, especially places like Arizona and Nevada but the con is that there are barely any real, good Cuban places to eat lmaoo
I enjoyed watching you enjoy Cuban food. As a Cuban American this made my mouth water. Cuban food is very delicious. This is the best video hands down. 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
I never had Cuban food til I met my husband. It is by far one of my favorite cuisines. If you go to Miami again there is a place called Bella Cuba, get the oxtail it's so good.
I grew up in Miami and this video made me a little homesick. I used to live a few blocks from where Mike ate at in Little Havana and the food around there is great. He did drop the ball by not getting his Cuban sandwich at Versailles restaurant. That is THE place for it. Mark Wiens visited there a while back and lost his mind at how good the food there is.
Love the fact that Mikey already enjoyed food back there but is even more excited about everything with Christine by his side! Rice and beans are a staple here in Brazil and banana chips are quite addictive! I'm drooling seing this Cuban food! Gotta try oh my
I lived in Kendall last year and there was a Palacio de los Jugos within walking distance. Never felt more spoiled in my life with affordable, wholesome, Cuban cuisine!
Cuban American who was born in Miami. I lived in Kendall for most of life. I did live in Homestead, Key Largo, and North Miami Beach for a bit but most spent my life living between Kendall and Sunset. Also attended FIU. I left FL about 7 years ago. Lived in Los Angeles, but I left and became a resident of Las Vegas, NV. With that being said, I truly missed the Cuban food in Miami. I haven't had Cuban food in a very, very long time....
Mikey, as a Miami native Cuban-American, I will tell you that you must eat the croquetas with your hands 😂 I’m just kidding! Thank you for showing my beautiful city and the simple delicacies that you can find here.
@@fireflower1549 Thank you! yes, watched all the Mikey Chen & Strictly Dumpling. Been recovering from an illness, so these vids became my happy distraction
That first place you went to oh my! The beef and rice and the chicharron looked amazing and so did the Cuban sandwich. Pork belly pizza? Whoa! That blew my mind Mikey. It also looked delicious.
How the hell did I miss Puerto rico episodes…..man im in North Florida. Moved here as a kid from Homestead. I miss my Cuban comfort food. Rice and beans are life
I love the crunch on the Cuban bread!! So fresh and crispy!! Can just taste how good it is!! The empanadas look outstanding!! The variety of rice dishes, wow! Loved that seafood dish. Had homemade chicken soup today. Helped so much in this freezing weather!
I dunno which one is luckier, Mickey living in a country with most diverse cuisine or US for having a great ambassador to showcase all these amazing variety of food and cultures that really is mind opening! Than you Mickey for giving hope to us during this lockdown to see the world through your vids.
Mike!! i have been watching your videos for ages and am happy to see you try more latino food- pleaseee try colombian and peruvian food too that would make my day ! (:
That arroz con frijoles and the ropa viejo looks great. You're right about the flank steak needing to be eaten hot. Hope that you're staying warm in NY.
Hey, as a Cuban I really enjoyed this video! Suggestion for your next trip: try Guayaba con Queso (Guava and Cheese), and also Flan as desserts. You won’t regret it ✌️
Went to Old's Havana on your recommendation this past weekend and it didn't disappoint! The enchilados de mariscos was incredible and easily one of my favorite parts of my entire trip. Thanks for your hard work, Mike!
I know it does but I never seen that big steak piece in Cuba look up actual cuban food that we actually eat in Cuba ropa vieja and congrís of course , we also enjoy our bocaditos which is a small sandwich with pork inside we have a plate every 31st of December which has yuca which is a root and congrís and pork we roast it on a stick for 8 hours and season it with salt and lemon it’s super good it’s worth a trip to Cuba and to donate to the actual people because the government doesn’t aid the people at all but charge them and not give them fresh meats at all red meats is illegal in Cuba but you will find red meats in black markets which is small stands with a bunch of meats but the people who sell it risk it because it’s illegal Im not speaking down on Miami food presentation of Cuba but it’s worth going to actual Cuba and taste how good our food is
Roboahun is steak and onion. My cousin makes steak and oinion. Rice and peas is a jamaican staple food. Staple food means basic staple regular island food. My grandma used to say.
The video I've been wanting to see for so long, as a Cuban I approve this trip! Glad you enjoyed the Cuban food, you need to go back for the bakeries and other restaurants. 🤩

Being a long time follower and resident of Miami I’m so happy to see Palacio featured on this video! Such a Miami staple!!!
I'm Cuban, living in 🇬🇧, wish we have more of those Cuban cuisines over here too..❤❤❤😋

Mikey is really good at what he does. I'd never think that going around eating at different places could be so entertaining to watch.

I was feeling bummed that i just finished all your posts, and then JOY! a notification of this post! Thank you!
He has another channel.
@@fireflower1549 Thank you! yes, watched all the Mikey Chen & Strictly Dumpling. Been recovering from an illness, so these vids became my happy distraction
I’m very proud to be Cuban 🇨🇺
Was really nice seeing Mike telling the waitress how good the food was! Everything looked incredible today
Glad you enjoyed coming to Miami. So glad to see Cuban food being represented on your channel. You're awesome!
ALL food from the Caribbean is amazing!!! Thank you Mikey and Christine for introducing the world to our fantastic cuisine..
I love cuban food. Love it. I love the spicy warmth but you can still taste the food. The rice the beans. Amazing
Palacio de los Jugos is my childhood!! So glad this was your first stop in Miami. :)
That first place you went to oh my! The beef and rice and the chicharron looked amazing and so did the Cuban sandwich. Pork belly pizza? Whoa! That blew my mind Mikey. It also looked delicious.
I like wha sort of a mukbanger he is.. travelling the whole world to eat..love it!
Cuban food is the Indian food of all the Latin Cuisines. Varied, gourmet, varietal, and wildly creative
Hiiiii
you literally are one of the best energy youtubers I get to watch while I work from home. thanks for being so fun and real
Love the crunch noise on that Cuban sandwich
That ring was so noticeable, I think I’ve seen it before but here 4:35 it was much more prominent.
Some places like this pack so much food that two people can eat, worth the money
How the hell did I miss Puerto rico episodes…..man im in North Florida. Moved here as a kid from Homestead. I miss my Cuban comfort food. Rice and beans are life
I love the crunch on the Cuban bread!! So fresh and crispy!! Can just taste how good it is!!

I haven't had a Cubano in years. It's soon good. I'm glad you gotna chance to enjoy it.
So happy you came to Miami! I LOVE El Palacio De Los Jugos, it is definitely a must try! 😋
It's not rice and beans, those come in two separate dishes, it's called Congri and they are cooked together. I just made a ton last Saturday.
Cuban food is so delicious! Thank you for sharing this. 😀🙌🙌🙌
Hii
Wow! The very first meal in this video would last me a whole week. Easily.
It’s so awesome to see you eat literally at the table I grew up eating at palacio de los jugos. I love seeing this.
I've never tried Cuban food, this is a great introduction of what to try!
Caribbean food is a lot alike. Cuban food is amazing.
Cuban food is NOT the same as Mexican food. Lots of Caribbean flavors. Come down to Miami and enjoy.
Me too. Got to go out of my way to try some.
Happy to see that you enjoyed the Cuban food. Born and raised in Miami. Cheers!
My monday night just got so much better.
Okay it’s Tuesday I thought it was Monday
I love you Mike. You truly put a lot of effort into your videos, love the music, scenery but mostly all the fabulous food you eat. Dream job.
Palacio is unbeatable. I moved away from Miami for college and I think I miss palacio de los Hugos more than my parents.
Mike!! i have been watching your videos for ages and am happy to see you try more latino food- pleaseee try colombian and peruvian food too that would make my day ! (:
Hiii
Eating your meals while watching mike’s videos is so satisfying and fulfilling.
Definitely hitting up all these places with I visit Florida, great vid!

Shout out to the Cuban brothers and sisters, Cuban food is BOMB!!!!
nothing like refreshing my sub feed and finding a new mikey video
Thanks for making this video , glad you liked our food ☺️
palacio de jugo i used to go here as a kid before i moved out of florida a real og spot thank you for visiting this place!
That bread at las olas sounds SO good. And that beef empanada!!!!
I love seeing u eating all that loveley food and the true comments u give on it food looks absolutley loveley from fan in south africa
Looking forward to seeing more Orlando content from you in the future Mikey! Thanks for showcasing that we have more than chain food here.
There is nothing better than a well made Cuban sandwich. Nothing..
You know the food is GOOD when Mikey starts to beat the table with a fist :D
This is the best reaction to food I’ve ever seen Mike do
Cuban food is good I like how traditional cuban people are in Miami I would travel there in the fall.
Always enjoy the journeys with Mike 🤗
As a Cuban American I'm sooooo glad to see you pick the congri instead of the moros, which is what most tourists go for 😊
Cuban food looks amazing!

@@RosaMaria-uc2ot that’s really interesting. Why is red meat not legal in Cuba? Does it have to do with religion or is it just politics?
Being a texture guy i can't help but think everytime Mike says tough or dry I could be there eating it for them
As a Cuban resident of Miami, I approve. But the whole time I was wondering, "When is he going to get some cafe???" It's essential!
Yes my same thoughts!!! Cuban coffe is a MUST for us in Miami!!
So true! Unfortunately, Mikey doesn't drink coffee. He's a tea man. He's mentioned it several times in prior videos. Cuban coffee is amazing!
El Palacio de los Jugos is an absolute MUST any time I'm in Miami.
Honey, you're in my Hometown!!🎉🎉🎉 Enjoy!!
Always enjoy your food blogs . It's so inspirational for me . Thanks so much for it
Dude I've had that same Cuban and it is 1000000% legit. So darn good.
Whoa 😮 that Cuban sandwich looked sensational 😍 all the food there is fabulous
Hi Mike and Christina!
Mikey. I’m so happy you love our Cuban food. As a Cuban born I feel I must tell you the flank steak you had is not a Cuban dish.
Cuban food is so good! I could almost taste the food you ordered. It's always fun to join you on your eating adventures. 😊
Why do I watch your videos 1-2AM? Now I’m starving.
Its funny that he claps when its really good!! 😂
Rice & beans is so worth the late night stomach pains!
Cuban food is so good in Miami especially their Cuban sandwiches
Thank you for this video! I’m going June 1st and your videos are the best. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOVE a good Cuban Sandwich! My favorite along with Buccee's Ruben sandwich...wow, think I am drooling right now!!!! Thanks Mikey!
Glad to see you're enjoying Florida Mike! We have every type of culture imaginable represented down here.
Gotta love a good Cuban sandwich 🥪❤️
There's nothing lacking about them at all. Love it.
Roboahun is steak and onion. My cousin makes steak and oinion. Rice and peas is a jamaican staple food. Staple food means basic staple regular island food. My grandma used to say.
Looks delicious 😋 I’ve never been to Florida but seeing this make’s me wanna try the Cuban food 🥘 😊😊😊.
black beans and rice is where its at!
We love Palacios de los jugos!!!
That's a Florida Rock Lobster! Nothing like it in the World!🙌
Need to try a Media Noche sandwich. Picadillo ... Rabo
The video I've been wanting to see for so long, as a Cuban I approve this trip! Glad you enjoyed the Cuban food, you need to go back for the bakeries and other restaurants. 🤩
For a meal like that, you need to use a spoon so you can get every single bit! 🤤🤤
Loveeee cuban food! My favorite dish is estofado de cerdo but I also love lomo ahumado 😍😍😍
WE LOVE YOU CHEN🔥🔥🔥🔥
the joy you bring!
I went here a few years ago and it was one of my favorite meals ever!!!
Looks exceptional and stay warm up there.
Palacio Delos jugos yeeesss ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My city !!!!
I keep watching your videos right before I go to bed
You'll never go hungry eating Cuban food
That pork belly pizza looks delicious! But, Mikey -- 'I'm from New York'. Me -- *confused dog side eye*
Sugarcane juice is life!!! :D
We went to the first restaurant you went to on our trip to Miami. Loved the food and the fresh juices.
im drooling!! everything looks fire
