We were at Miami Beach the day before a Caribbean cruise. It was around 6:30 PM and we walked to Ocean Dr and looked for a place to eat. We've been at a Ocean Drive restaurant before at our previous NCL Caribbean cruise (Western Caribbean with the Norwegian Sun), so we knew what to expect. Every restaurant had a soliciting hostess but all the menus pretty much looked the same.
We wanted something different so we walked around and saw this busy restaurant called Puerto Sagua jam packed with people. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes before we could get a table. We even noticed people sitting at a bar-like area eating breakfast-like items.
Peurto Sagua advertised itself as a "Cuban and American" Restaurant and we were wondering what we should order. The waiter, who didn't speak very understandable English, recommended the Cuban Shredded Beef. We asked the fish entrees and whether if the fish were fresh and his reply was "every restaurant no fresh" and that the fish could be dry. So we decided upon the Ox Tail Stew (one of the specials of the day) and the Cuban Shredded Beef he rec
ommended. The Ox Tail was very tender and the sauce/juice it was bathed in was very flavorful and not too salty. The Cuban Shredded Beef was a tad too salty, however. Both dishes came with white rice and about 5 or 6 pieces of fried plantains which were yummy. The service overall was friendly and the price very reasonable so this restaurant gets a rating of 4 out 5 from us.
