CVI.CHE 105: So Good, We Almost Licked the PlateđŸ€

In Miami’s Cuban food scene, CVI.CHE 105 is a “can’t-stay-hidden gem”—the second we walked in, we were hit with a wave of tomato sauce and rum aromas. Little did we know, the two of us ordering “generously” would end up with a table of food enough to feed four. đŸ”„ Must-Orders: Every Bite Is “Unfairly Delicious” 1. Lobster & Beef (Server’s Top Pick) It arrived in a cast-iron skillet, still sizzling: chunks of lobster glistening with butter, beef so tender it fell apart with a fork, all smothered in a rich tomato sauce (sweet with a hint of caramel, like mom’s famous stew—suddenly hit with nostalgia). The best part? Servers offered to peel the lobster for us—no messy fingers, just perfectly plump meat ready to dip in sauce. One bite, and we got it: the seafood’s brininess, the beef’s depth, that “homey” sauce—so good, we almost cried (okay, maybe just teared up a little). 2. Paella (Portion So Big, It’s Comical) The paella came piled high: saffron-kissed rice, shrimp, clams, squid—each grain soaked in seafood broth. We dug in enthusiastically
 then stopped after a few bites. This thing was built for four people. We packed the leftovers, and even reheated, it tasted amazing the next day. 3. Appetizer (The Surprise Hero) We almost skipped the appetizer , but our friend insisted—and thank goodness. It was a zesty mix of citrus-marinated seafood (shrimp, scallops, squid), avocado, and a hint of chili. Tangy, briny, creamy—each bite was a flavor party in our mouths. Who knew an appetizer could steal the show? đŸč Drinks & Snacks: The “Supporting Cast” Cocktails: We tried Cuban rum cocktails—smooth, fruity, not mind-blowing but good enough to wash down the food. Complimentary Snacks: Fried plantain chips and crispy crackers, a little oily but addictive. We polished them off before the main dishes even arrived. 💰 Value: $80 Per Person? It Feeds Four Easily! The bill for two came to ~$160—easily enough for four. Our server laughed: “First-timers always overorder. It’s a rite of passage.” Leaving, we watched a server peel lobster for another table, as skillfully as unwrapping a gift. CVI.CHE 105 works because it gets it: the greed to try everything, the joy of easy eats, and the magic of Cuban flavors done right. If you’re in Miami craving Cuban food that’s hearty, delicious, and just a little excessive—this is your spot. After all, where else do two people leave talking about “how to finish the leftovers” and “when to come back”? #Miami #MiamiFood #CubanCuisine #WeekendEats #FoodieTravel #MiamiGuide
