Bardach is best known for her work on Cuba and Miami and was called "the go-to journalist on all things Cuban and Miami," by the Columbia Journalism Review, having interviewed dozens of key players including Fidel Castro, sister Juanita Castro, anti-Castro militant legend Luis Posada Carriles, CIA and Watergate plumber E. Howard Hunt, anti-Castro militant Orlando Bosch and CIA operative Felix Rodriguez, who was present for the assassination of Che Guevara. Bardach's book Without Fidel: A Death Foretold in Miami, Havana and Washington was cited as a authoritative work on Cuba under the Castros and named one of The Miami Herald's "Ten Best Books of 2009." Tom Wolfe described it as "news between hard covers by a relentless reporter who writes like a dream."

Some of her journalism has been anthologized in KILLED: Journalism Too Hot To Print and In Mexico in Mind.
