Islas Canarias Cuban Express — Restaurant in Kendall

Absolutely loved my experience at Islas Canarias Cuban Express in the Dadeland mall food court! I want to say it was the best addition to the food court. From the moment I walked up to the counter to order, the amazing service and vibrant decor transported me straight to original Islas Canarias restaurant. The menu has a fantastic variety of traditional dishes. But I continue to go back for the croquetas, trust me when I tell you they are delicious. We also tried the Chicken Vaca Frita bowl, and it was incredibly flavorful—tender chicken with a rich sauce that was just the right balance of spices. The black beans and sweet plantains make it the perfect meal. The staff is always very attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. Overall, Islas Canarias Cuban Express at Dadeland mall exceeded my expectations and is a gem in the mall. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes! Highly...

The meat won't disappoint I always tend to get lechon and the flavor it has incredible. Only thing the skin of chicarones is soft but hey it's still amazing. There no combos giving you a head up. Plus they have croquetta and all there amazing menu items from the regular stores....

I have to give it to Islas. I have had ham and cheese empanadas from many bakeries and restaurants, but I don't know what they do to theirs that makes them SO GOOOD, they are filled to the brim with the creamy ham and cheese blend and cooked to perfection. Their croqueta preparada is also to die for! The owner is amazing, connects with his customers, and gets to know them to create that friendly environment you would get from your typical...
