“Latin Café 2000 represents the intersection between high quality food, reasonable prices and an unmatched dining experience.

The new Brickell location boasts 3,176 square feet of indoor space and an additional 1,800 square feet of outdoor space for dining al fresco. The mixed use patio can also be transformed into an entertainment area for live music, events and more. Presenting an elevated cocktail program, the bar serves as a centerpiece for the interior, featuring polished brass shelving set on a stunning Carrera marble backdrop and framed with classic Cuban tiles and shutters. Designed by Pedro Ramos of The Architects Group, the restaurant boasts tropical modernism with a retro twist. Period furniture and décor are melded with brass accents and a classic Cuban tile mosaic to enhance the 1950s vibe.
