First time here and I really enjoyed it! I order the 1/2lb of wood fire and my husband ordered full for one (he is a big guy, and we have to take some home) The service was fast, which alone earns 4 stars from me . The beef was top quality and super tasty, the portions were generous, and the prices felt very reasonable. Ricardo gave us great service, and the quesillo was delicious too. Definitely a great first experience! I will be heading back for sure! read more

Carne En Vara Express - 1/2 Pound of Wood- Fired Meat + two sides was my order - Latin American Near Me - Medley, Florida

Pleasantly surprised after randomly seeing the spot and pulling in on a whim. Very clean with a fun atmosphere and also very spacious. Wide variety on the menu and food came out super quick and it was all delicious. Normally, when I have barbecue, I like to have a cold beer alongside. Unfortunately, they only serve alcohol on the weekends. Aside from that, I would still eat here again without question. The owner stopped by at one point and was super friendly and gave some good recommendations. read more

Very good food. I had the meat sandwich and my buddy had the tacos. Both were great. The vibe is interesting. Truly a hidden gem in every sense of the word. It's a good truck set up in a gravel parking lot in an industrial district. They have umbrellas and picnic tables so you can eat there, but if you didn't know about it, you'd probably never notice. The service was cool. No issues. The menus are in Spanish and everyone was speaking Spanish, so my buddy who is English only had a bit of a hard time. They do have an English menu, but you need to ask for it. Overall great spot. A bit pricey, but a fun lunch spot read more

Carne En Vara Express - Carne - Latin American Near Me - Medley, Florida

The food was decent but no big deal. We asked for the meat to be cooked medium, and the waitress said that it all comes out medium well well. She made no attempts to get us the less cooked meat and we ended up with meat that was well done. Who has ever heard of a restaurant that doesn't cook the meat the way you request it? The waitress was not friendly and made no attempts to speak Louder when told that I could not hear her above the music. It was hot and there were no fans near us. They didn't even bring us a fly fan to avoid flies. We would have had to request one. There should be one for each table. Also, they only serve bottled water that you have to pay for. They should have free water considering it is outdoors and hot. Would definitely not go back! read more

Food was good. Nothing to crazy flavors were ok. Service wasn't great but overall the experience wasn't terrible. Place has a nice ambiance not bad for a one time visit. read more

We had a great lunch at this location, thanks to our server Claudia! Very spacious, good music and nicely decorated. We ordered the parrilla for 4 people which came with brisket, ribs, chorizo, and sides. It was definitely plenty of food. We also ordered a cachapa on the side and it was one of the best we've had. I imagine the place is even more lively at night as there's a stage for live music. My only recommendation would be to get some sweet sides as some of the cuts of meat are a bit salty! Wouldn't hesitate to come back. read more

Excelente lugar! Ambiente familiar muy agradable y tranquilo. Nos atiende Claudia y ella es espectacular! Servicio al cliente es excelente! Ella es muy amable y nos atendió muy rápido. El ambiente del lugar es muy acogedor. He visitado en familia muchas veces y siempre salgo muy satisfecho con el servicio. La comida es espectacular y precio razonable. read more

Terrible experiencia. La comida dejó muchísimo que desear, especialmente la carne, que estaba realmente MALA. La cachapa estuvo normal, nada especial. El lugar estaba lleno de moscas, algo bastante desagradable mientras comes. Además, los precios son exageradamente altos para la calidad que ofrecen. Y para completar, la atención fue pésima. Honestamente, no vale la pena. read more

This review is for the food truck at The Yards. I went to work at an event there and ordered the llanero sandwich. Even though I couldn't eat it right away as I was needed somewhere else the sandwich was delicious!!! The mix of the fried cheese, meat, and pico de gallo gave it a great flavor. Will definitely go back and order some more! read more

Estuve 1 hora esperando y la comida nunca llegó, no era que el lugar estaba lleno, es que realmente la atención es muy mala. Pagué $25 por 4 cervezas Zulia y supuestamente 2 eran por la casa debido a la espera por la comida. read more

The food is good but when I went to pick up my order, when I called the location there's music playing in the background which makes it hard to hear and speak over the phone. I feel like they could have gone to a quieter area to take phone orders but that's not the actual problem. When we arrived, we told them that we're there for pick up and they don't ask us the name or number they just say, "It's on its way." so we wait and they we assume that it's ready because we had called at 3:19 p.m. and the order was supposed to be ready for 4 but we had gotten there at 4:30 but it doesn't matter because they should have it ready but it's not so we just decide to wait. So we wait, 30 minutes pass, it's 5 and nothing, they ask us "Are you here for pick up?" and at that point we tell them that we called about two hours ago, and we told them what our order was, two waitresses give us these faces like we're speaking another language but it's okay they should have it ready in another few minutes right? Wrong. They make no effort to find our order in their system which reminded me of me asking my ex-boyfriend for bare minimum emotional work. We wait another 30 minutes, and at that point we're upset, and we wanted to leave but they had already charged us for the order, so we weren't leaving without our food. Finally, they place two and two together and they start apologizing realizing they made a mistake because the only waitress who apparently knows how to work the system they use found our order and they realize they have to get it ready, meaning they had never placed it to begin with. We left at around 6 with our food. It seems fun it has a nice location, but they screwed themselves over with building a stage and blasting loud music that slowed down their service and caused problems like this. Never coming again cause their service was terrible. read more

$130 para la parilla para 6. Carne en vara llegó seco. Tostones seco. Yuca frita seca. Las costillas más o menos bien. Y las cachapas también más o menos. Nos sacaron $130 peo perdieron 6 clientes. Música demasiado alto. No se puede conversar. read more

5 estrellas ! nos atendió Ryan, súper amable y servicial!... la comida estuvo deliciosa

My in-laws invited me over for lunch and had ordered from this food truck two days in the row after seeing several people have a good experience and they did not disappoint. They ordered the Picanha for three and all of the meat was perfection and had lots of flavors. I especially liked the fried yuca, it was crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. They also give you a green avocado sauce that I thought pairs best with the fried yuca. The meat was so tender and juicy that in my opinion, it didn't need any sauce. We ordered from Uber eats, so we never got to actually go to the food truck, but I thought the food was delicious. I would definitely like to try some other items off of their menu. read more

A fabulous place to spend time with the family, with an open-air atmosphere, free parking, and best of all, PALADAR LLANERO.

Food is good, but the portions of meat are small and the sides are way too big. However, the biggest issue is the very loud music! It is annoying! We were not able to have a conversation because we were screaming over the music. read more

Good atmosphere, great food but very expensive. Over priced and I hate to see that. Such a nice, local spot and they killed it with the pricing. Grab a hold of your wallet fellas! read more

I picked up the food and when I got to work and opened the bag there was a cockroach inside the bag.

We found this place last week and really liked the food. It is typical Venezuelan food which is a business we will support in South Florida. Today, I came back with a group and everything was a mess. First, the waited got my order wrong. He brought a small plate of meat and two appetizers. It thought the rest of my order was coming but when it didn't I asked the waiter and he told me that I had ordered a 3 person meal for my group of 6. I told him that he had gotten my order wrong and that we were still missing food even if we had ordered the 3 person meal. There was no way to change my order in their system to make it right. The only thing I was allowed to do was buy another meal (these are $60 meals). When the second meal came, it was also missing items stated in the menu. At this point we had waited so long that I just had to make the best of it and leave. Why are you getting 2 stars? Because we never got the food we ordered in the first place, never got all that we paid for and were charged $160 (not including drinks). This place can be really good but the service is not worth the cost. Please support local businesses but expect a decent level of service. We still left a tip. read more

BEWARE!! Absolutely TERRIBLE BUSINESS AND OWNERS! I ordered catering for a party and they were 2 HOURS LATE! Half of my guests had left and I was left with half of the food. No apologies offered, no communication and definitely no attempts to make things "right." Such a sorry excuse for a business. After multiple attempts to communicate with them and get some sort of refund, I gave up. Mind you we had a contract and they were in absolute breach of contract by not delivering at said time. ATROCIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE and disgusting attitude from owners. Never again! read more

Excellent ambience Excellent meal Extremely overpriced. Very sad to see something that could be so good and well based local business be so expensive average is $60 per meal Recommendation: Reconsider pricing, keep the level of food quality There is no limit to how well you will do in time. With repeat customers that bring more customers. read more

Five stars for me for sure. Awesome! Meat was so tender and delicious. Cachapa was delicious. Very happy. Thank you

My husband and I went here for a spontaneous date night. We weren't disappointed, but not wowed. The place is nice, service was great, the food was good- but I can't say I remember it. It was good.. but eh.. for the price we both agree we wouldn't go here again. read more
