Andres L.

just tried Boca Grill and I'm actually impressed. This place is lowkey a gem. The lunch specials are priced really good but the portions are huge and the food tastes like real home style cooking, not rushed or cheap. The picanha bowl was my favorite. Steak was cooked right, juicy with that grilled flavor, and everything in the bowl worked together. The rice, sweet plantains, and the fresh tomato and onion mix made every bite hit. The seafood fried rice was crazy filling. Loaded with seafood and flavor, not dry at all. Definitely one of those plates you think you'll have leftovers and then suddenly it's gone. Grilled chicken was light but still had a lot of flavor, seasoned well and not greasy. The veggies tasted fresh too, not overcooked. Thank you to our friendly hostess Vanessa for being attentive! Overall the food tastes fresh, the portions are big, and you get way more than you expect for the price. I'd definitely go back. Great spot if you're in Miami Gardens and want good food without spending a lot. What i really like is that if you visit during lunch time and scan a QR code and register, you can open your phones digital wallet and each visit counts towards a 5th meal free! Seriously don't sleep on it. Give it a try!

Shrimp Chaufa (sweet savory taste)
Graciela L.

The go-to spot when I'm craving Venezuelan food. The arepas are exactly what you want them to be, fresh, flavorful, and filling. The egg guasaca slider surprised me in the best way, and the savory-sweet chaufa fusion (chicken, meat or shrimp) is one of those unexpected fusions that becomes a preferred choice from the menu. The parrilla pinchos were grilled perfectly, and the tequeños... well, they're non-negotiable. If you're Venezuelan, you already know they're the must appetizer at every party, and these did not disappoint (dip them in guasacaca sauce for an extra punch) What really made the experience stand out was the service. Ana, Yeraldin, and Johana were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they actually care about the customers. Carmelo, one of the owners, was there the whole time making sure everything was running smoothly and that the food met the Bocas Grill standard, it shows. Sweet treat: a warm chewy brownie with creamy topping to shift the savory taste of the main dishes. Home made style, recently oven and you can tell is recently prepared.0 Extra perk: free parking on the spot as it is located in a strip mall. The vibe is casual and relaxed, the kind of place you can go for a quick lunch with coworkers, bring your family, or meet up with friends without overthinking it. Prices are very reasonable, especially for Miami, which makes it even better. Overall, it feels authentic, welcoming, and worth coming back to.

Latin American Grill in Miami Lakes never disappoints! My family and I have been coming here for…read moreyears, and one thing I love is how consistently delicious the food has remained. Everything is GOOD! From their flavorful ropa vieja, palomilla, and milanesa to their delicious side dishes and even seafood platters, you really can't go wrong! They offer authentic Cuban flavors with a great variety of options for everyone. A special shoutout to our waitress, Gloria, who was absolutely wonderful! Super attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Great food, generous variety, and amazing service. No complaints here! Easily a 5/5 and a family favorite we'll continue coming back to!

I brought my nephew, who was visiting Miami and had never tried Cuban food before, to Latin…read moreAmerican Grill because I wanted him to experience a good Cuban sandwich. I ordered three Cuban Special sandwiches and one Miami Sandwich to go. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. A Cuban sandwich should be generous, with plenty of pork, ham, and cheese. When I got home and opened the sandwiches, I was honestly shocked. The Cuban Special had only a couple of thin slices of ham, barely any visible pork, and very little cheese. The amount of filling was extremely disappointing. The Miami Sandwich was actually more decent and enjoyable compared with the Cuban Special, but the Cuban Special was simply not what I expect a Cuban sandwich to be. The restaurant itself looked clean and well maintained, and the people who helped me were friendly. Unfortunately, the quality and portion of the food completely ruined the experience. I hadn't had a Cuban sandwich in a couple of years, and I was excited to share something I really enjoy with my nephew. Instead, this experience actually ruined some of my good memories of what a Cuban sandwich should be. There is hardly anything that frustrates me more than a restaurant ruining a meal I was looking forward to and unfortunately, that is exactly what happened here. If the restaurant needs to charge more to put a proper amount of pork, ham, and cheese in the Cuban Special, I would rather pay more and get a real Cuban sandwich. Based on my experience, I would not recommend coming here for a Cuban sandwich. The Cuban Special, which should be one of their signature items, needs a major improvement.

I had always pictured it as a fast food setting but it's not. Everything we ordered was delicious. Their chicken recipe is fantastic. The Coconut Lemonade was spectacular. Ambiance was modern and cozy. The service was first class. She explained the menu to us along with pictures of every dish. Who does that?? We felt so relaxed and satisfied. Can't wait to go again. Our server Crissel was an angel. She's a natural! Ask for the half off cocktails. Not sure of the times. Go and enjoy!

I had a chance to check out their Miami Lakes location Saturday to "balance out" after a cocktail tasting event at nearby venue. Their rotisserie chicken - even the half chicken portion - is pretty sizeable and well flavored with a tasty citrusy, tangy flavor, and the tequenos are my favorite side, right up there with the sweet plantains that came with the chicken. My server was really pleasant and attentive, and they even saved my souvenir bag from the cocktail event. The restaurant itself was clean, well maintained, and with plenty of windows to look out over the Miami Lakes street scene. One thing I would improve is with the extra fee for the nata (butter) sauce to dip the tequenos. It comes with a green sauce (cilantro?) that I am just not a fan off. I did ask my server to take it off and substitute it with the, and found out that it is a bit extra. I mean, it is a substitution. It's not like I'm asking an extra sauce.
