Club Tipico Dominicano

Miami's oldest Dominican restaurant, open since 1985, serving family recipes and turning into a live-music club on weekend nights.

Verificato novembre 2026

For anyone who wants Dominican home cooking with a dance floor attached. The trade-off: on weekend nights it's a club first, so a quiet dinner means going early or ordering out.

The kitchen since 1985

Luis De La Cruz opened Club Tipico Dominicano in 1985, and his daughter, Jasmely De La Cruz Jackson, runs it now. The restaurant calls itself the oldest Dominican restaurant in Miami. The pitch is recipes passed down through the family, plus a few newer dishes she's added. The seasoning leans on imported Dominican oregano, a detail that matters to people who grew up on this food. The home page doesn't list dishes, so pull up the La Cocina menu before you go if you like to plan your order.

When the tables clear

On weekends the dining room becomes a late-night club with live music, so dinner and dancing happen under one roof. There's a separate cocktail menu for that part of the night. The house sign-off is about enjoying the table and the dance floor equally, and that tells you what kind of place this is. A club night with a band is not a quiet dinner, so set your expectations. The site also has a special events page and an email list for event announcements. Join it if you want to plan around a specific night.
