If we’re being honest, there aren’t too many restaurants that end up lasting for years in Florida. Restaurants pop up onto the scene and often disappear just as quickly. Which is why when we come across a restaurant in Florida that has been around for nearly 60 years, we have to pay our respects and acknowledge they are definitely doing something right.
Puerto Sagua is one of the oldest restaurants still standing in South Beach, with a history dating back to 1968.

What makes this restaurant work so well is the authenticity of the menu—the fried plantains, pressed Cuban sandwiches, roasted pork shoulder, or fried whole snapper.

You’ll find a Cuban menu staple—Ropa Vieja, with tender strips of meat basted in a tomato broth, served with a side of buttery white rice and crisp Cuban bread.

With a simple, non-complicated atmosphere, just because the restaurant is in South Beach doesn’t mean you have to dress to the nines to visit.
