Enso Café

I can’t give this place a rating. It is outdoors and you are bombarded by salesman from the adjacent shops while you sit at your table. The food was sub par and only part of the meal showed up. When we asked the waitress about it she said it wasn’t ready and would be another 10 minutes. She wasn’t going to deliver it unless we asked for it. I also asked for water and got none. Awful

Great place to people watch! My husband ordered the bucket of beer for $ 10 and that’s what he was charged! Food was average but we are both full and it was less than $ 45!

One of the most terrible places on Lincoln rd! And they couldn’t care less about it.
If I could choose NO RATING I would do it. Outrageous prices for the most crappie drinks ever! We ordered Pina Colada and Classic Margarita, regular size, it was $ 13.00 each. Pina Colada was just frozen ice with a splash of milk and Margarita was same frozen ice with a splash of seems like lemon juice, undrinkable! Homeless people bagging for money and some as they call themselves «entertainer» cards flipping guy, basically asking for money as well, and nobody from the stuff would say anything to them. When I said they shouldn’t charge at least for one drink, the waiter couldn’t care less, he said smth like «if you don’t like it you can go to another place». Terrible place, law end, and they can care lees what you think, just because they are located there. They declined 2 of our cards, I believe just because they wanted us to pay cash.
I believe the place like this should be eliminated from central locations at Miami beach as Lincoln rd.

Very slow service … Wasn’t excited before the food and not excited after the food. It’s only 11 am not too crowded and we waited forever for the food … Waitress seems to be confused

This place in located on the Lincoln strip. They have a outside DJ with hookahs. So it appears very appealing with the good music and nice ambiance. Their menu looks really good. I went with a friend and it was his second time going. He said he had the lobster tail before and it was good. This time we orders for the Chinese side of the menu and I had the sesame chicken with broccoli and brown rice. The food was just ok. The rice were very dry. I think they were short on the wait staff cause it took awhile to get any service. I would return just to try the other side of the menu and maybe one of their hookah which are pretty pricey because they have the actual fruit connected to them.

DO NOT ENTER! WORST PLACE ON THE PLANET. I LIVE HERE AND HOPE THEY CLOSE SOON! Service was terrible. not surprised, the $ 3 draft special all day!!! Hahahhahahahaa! Deceiving as can be! You must buy food. and they dont even tell you, then when you decide to order they dont make it retroactive, so your spending a whopping $ 10 a beer. Dont waste ur time… Balan’s has a legit HH special

Super slow service! Pompous staff! Food was bland and small serving! Worst place ever! To top it off!!! They charge a 18% service charge! Stay away from this place… AND $ 14 FOR WATER! This place sucks!!!

I was really excited to eat here, the vibe was nice and the location was great (right on Lincoln Rd). My bff and I ordered our humungous drinks, that did not disappoint. Seriously they were huge and I am not a drinker but when in Miami do as they do right… Any who the food was bleehhh. I ordered the tilapia with rice pilaf and salad. I received tilapia with plain white rice and salad instead.
Needless to say I wasn’t to appreciative of the menu being a bit deceiving but our waiter was kind enough to comp us the white rice and bring us mash potatoes & french fries instead. My fish was a bit bland, the salad was on point.
The service wasn’t to bad and overall the experience wasn’t either. I’d go back and probably order something else to be honest.

Great spot on Lincoln Rd for people watching and good drinks. We paid $ 35 for two massive drinks, bestie got the Miami vice (some fruity slushy type drink) and I got a sex on the beach (no orange juice, I’m allergic). We got ¼ through the drink and we were feeling it already.
Food was mehh, we both ordered the tilapia dish that came with a lobster bisque sauce, rice pilaf and salad. What we really got was tilapia with a dab of some sauce (tasted like honey mustard), white rice and a salad. I brought my issue about the rice to the waiters attention and he informed me the menu was wrong, what? By this time I was super drunk and just told him to bring me an order of fries instead. The food wasn’t memorable at all, I legit just asked my bestie to remind me what we even had lol
I would return but only for the drinks

Food is way too expensive considering the taste. Whole lobster was miniscule. Best part about this was the location.

Hookah was quite expensive but that seems to be the case around this area. Food was terrible but what do you expect from a hookah café? We got the happy hour special which was $ 10 for a decent portion of food. we ordered chicken Caesar salad and angus burger; both meats were very dry and tasteless, the best item was their fries, it was thin and crispy. We also ordered the bulldog margarita, it’s a great portion but it tasted like the only alcohol in the drink was the two corona beers. Overall it was decent for just hanging out smoking hookah and drinking, but stay away from the food if you want to actually have something delicious.

It’s good for hookah, cool spot. Ordered the stake and turf wasn’t expecting much from a hookah lounge for food so, it was okay. The steak was flavorless and gritty with fat but, the lobster was good. The flavor selection of hookah was decent. Service was good and they play a variety of music, wasn’t very loud so that kinda ruined the vibe a bit. It is pretty expensive for a hookah lounge but it’s expected since its on south beach. Worth a try.

Ive gone here quite a few times with a group of friends. Each time has been a great experience. There has never been a wait. Good huge drinks for the price and the hookah is good too. The guy that seats you is pretty entertaining also. Good for a nice night out for drinks. The outside atmosphere is pretty cool. Looks like there undergoing renovations inside but that doesn’t hinder anything and the bathrooms are always clean and well stoked. Thats important for me when Im drinking lol.

I enjoyed my skirt steak my wife hated here spaghetti. Her spaghetti, I had a bite, was pretty bad. No it was awful.
The menu is way random Italian dishes, Chinese stir fry, steaks and hookah pipes.
Great location, with slow service and so so food. The biggest bummer besides the really really bad spaghetti is they tried to sneak a tip into our bill called a «service charge». And then of course leave another line for a tip. To me this is a total bullshit practice that I equate to stealing. But they didn’t get me because I read the bill.
Heads up Unilocalers on the hidden tip. That’s 1 star for trying to pull a fast one on the Timster. It was just me and my wife if you’re wondering if it was a large group or not.

Garbage food, paid $ 350 for 10 during lunchtime. Crap Chinese food, insanely expensive.

Worst hookah. Cold food. And you think it stops there? You are wrong! They also have shitty service!

Bad experience!

It’s not often I fall victim to a tourist trap. Well played, Enso… well played.
Well, don’t I feel like a giant dum dum? Enso sits right on the closed pedestrian-​friendly Lincoln Ave and en route to run a quick errand with some friends, a giant margarita with two Coronas sticking out caught our eyes. Being that we were on vacation, that Bulldog margarita seemed like just the way to kick off our long weekend in South Beach. Sadly, we had no idea these monstrosities would set us back $ 35 each and come loaded with an auto gratuity (there was no price on the menu) for a huge dent in the wallet within moments of stepping foot in Miami. It’d be one thing if they were delicious, but that wasn’t necessarily the case with these giant sugar/​beer bombs…
Oh well, they got me. I won’t be making that mistake again…

Delicious hookah, dumplings, and bulldog drinks… all my favorite things in one place. I have yet to try any of the absurd hookahs, such as the watermelon or wine bottle variations.
Ample seating outside makes this a great hang out for a large group of friends. Love love love love…

So the atmosphere is pretty damn neat and I think they could be on to something here but their food freaking SUCKS. The food is overpriced and is such garbage.
The food presentation lacks big time and they charge you way too much for a soda or juice. Our server was super awkward and it took forever to just get some water. He didn’t help you to understand the menu or give any idea of specials.
I ordered a cocktail and because he didn’t warn me and the menu didn’t say.. . I had no idea it was a drink meant for 4 people! A little excessive for the early afternoon as I was on a shopping mission.
I ended up walking away tipsy on an empty stomach.
The food totally sucked and next time I would go back for one of those 4 person drinks and some ridiculous hookah in a pineapple or what have you.

I had a fruit salad with granola breakfast special and my friend egg your style, the fruites were NOT fresh, and the bacon tasted like shoe sole.
we also added two OJ’s (5 $ each) NOT fresh pressed, well maybe out of a cartonbox!
we paid a total of 30 $ for a breakfast that did not satisfy whatsoever.

Absolutely terrible place. How the hell do you charge $ 5 for a damn orange juice? oh im sorry i mean – SUNNY DELIGHT. and around $ 5 for a small cup of disgusting coffee. They only had two types of begels – poppy and multigrain (i asked for multigrain), and guess what — -i got the poppy one. I had ordered a bagel with creamcheese and lox. It wasnt terrible but i was given a small thing of cream cheeese on the side to put onto the bagel myself. service was terrible, guy was impossible to find and barely came by us. Things took forever. I wish i could tell you what my friend had – but basically the bowl of fruit on the side was what he liked. what a sham.
