#DOMINO PARK MIAMI FREE#
Didn’t bother to call this time about the wrong order since they were free but I’ve had enough at this point. As far as what I ordered, one pizza was ok but the other had Bacon instead of Steak like I had ordered. The seasoned crust was good I will give them that. i didn’t like the cheese or the tomato sauce. Even with the regular crust it feels & tastes undercooked. Skipped the pan this time so I don’t have to deal with undercooked pizza. Was this deliberate? Called & got a credit. Not only was it undercooked but it had enough BBQ sauce for no less than 10 pizzas. ZERO Buffalo Sauce on a Buffalo Pizza & a little undercooked. 2) Decided to try Pan again but this time Buffalo Chicken. 1) Ordered the new pan style, Cheeseburger BBQ not bad. This social club meets twice a week to talk and play dominos.So this review is based off 4 seperate orders from this location in about 2 months. The club is open to anyone that is from Santiago in Cuba.

It is an experience you cannot recreate!Ĭirculo de Santiago de Cuba is Domino Park’s own domino club. The Cuban tradition remains strong in Little Havana at Domino Park and is a great place for the local community to gather and spectators to visit. The area around the parks hosts an abundance of local shops, restaurants, and stores. There is an intensity and excitement in the air due to the extreme competitions taking place at the numerous tables occupied by mostly older Cuban men. The walkways are decorated with dominos and lined with benches for spectators. A statue of Maximo Gomez, the man that fought against the Spanish at the beginning of 1900’s in Cuba and that the park is named after, is placed close to the action close to the tables. Chairs surround the tables and a large mural is painted on the back wall, which is a representation of the Presidents from the American Nations that were part of the 1st Summit of the Americans in 1994 in Miami. Pavilions cover numerous playing tables, which are set up like they did in Cuba to allow maximum amount of tables to fit. The makeover of Maximo Gomez Park took place in 1983 because Miami wanted to invest in the meeting place for the people of Little Havana by providing adequate cover and amenities. The tradition and location has remained the same for over 35 years but over the years money has been designated to beautify the area in an effort to retain the tradition. It was the gathering spot for people to come play games and tell stories, which is ultimately where stories and culture was passed down to the younger generation.
