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.

Fortunately, a coworker pointed me toward Latin American Grill in Miami Lakes, just a few minutes from our hotel. It turned out to be exactly the sendoff I was hoping for. We started with the Sopa de Pollo, a bowl that made it immediately clear this kitchen isn't interested in shortcuts. Large chunks of chicken, tender vegetables, and noodles floated in a broth with remarkable depth. It wasn't simply chicken soup, it was the kind of soup that makes you wonder why every other version tastes so timid. A squeeze of fresh lime added just enough brightness to wake up every spoonful without distracting from the richness of the broth. Then came the reason for the visit. The Medianoche. I've always preferred the sweeter cousin of the traditional Cuban sandwich, and Latin American Grill makes a terrific one. Thick slices of ham and juicy mojo pork were layered with Swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles before being pressed between soft, sweet bread until the outside turned beautifully crisp. Every ingredient had a purpose. The pork brought richness, the ham added salt, the mustard and pickles cut through the fat with welcome acidity, and the sweet bread tied everything together. It's one of those sandwiches that reminds you how satisfying simplicity can be when every component is done well. Sometimes the best restaurant recommendations don't come from guidebooks or social media. They come from someone who simply says, "You should eat here." In this case, they were absolutely right. A great Cuban sandwich doesn't need reinvention. It just needs great ingredients, careful execution, and a hot press. Latin American Grill delivers all three.

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.
