The name 90 Miles comes from the distance that the restaurant owners travelled as Cuban immigrants on a tiny boat from Havana to Key West in 1980. And it’s the kind of place where you can feel confident that pretty much anything you order will be delicious. That said, our favorite things here are the spinach and chorizo empandas, Cubano, and the ropa vieja, which comes with rice, beans, and plantains.
The actual building is tiny, but there are two separate patios that satisfies different needs. The front patio is the smaller and quieter of the two, and is ideal for hanging any time of day for a casual meal when it’s nice outside. The back patio is the biggest part of the restaurant, and where you’ll most likely be sitting since it’s covered and heated in the colder months. And that’s a good thing if you’re looking for a lively atmosphere full of colorful artwork and Latin music that will make you you want to dance in your seat. That vibe, combined with their BYOB policy, makes 90 Miles one of our go-to spots for birthdays and big group dinners. They also offer excellent mojito and sangria mixes, so plan accordingly and bring wine or rum.
