About Us

Las Viñas BBQ was founded by two Cuban friends, Julio from Santiago de Cuba and Niorge from Pinar del Río, who left New Orleans to bring authentic Cuban cuisine to Miami. Drawing on their family backgrounds in food, they opened their first Hialeah location in 2005, serving Cuban-style barbecue, food by the pound, and traditional dishes crafted with their own seasonings and techniques. Over 20 years, Las Viñas became a local favorite, celebrated for its authentic flavors and dedication to home-style cooking.

In July 2023, Las Viñas expanded to a second location on 8th Street, in the historic building that once housed Miami’s first Burger King, with the support of the Vall family, owners of Versailles and La Carreta.
