What a gem! My boyfriend suggested trying a new steakhouse and we randomly decided to try Carnicero. To start with, the little ajiaca (soup) was a nice starter. We also had the wagyu carpaccio with the toasted breads, and those croquettes! Ahh I could eat those croquettas all day. We plan to try all of their meats at some point but so far their churrasco, picanha and pork tenderloin left us impressed (esp at their current prices) The sangria and cocktails were very tasty as well. Easy parking and fast service! Highly recommend! read more

Overrated and over priced. Quality overall is under average. Specifically... Ceviche taste & quality of fish below average and over priced Churrasco tasteless. Had to add salt Yuca frita tasteless and stale A tasteless Dorado, just the fish $40?!?! And tasteless?! If you are going to demand these prices you have to produce good quality and tasting food. One time wonder place. 1st and last time they see me there. read more

Excellent. Was quoted a wait time of 20 minutes was sat in 15. Food was excellent. Had the board with different grilled items and all were exceptional except for the pork loin. It was a little dry. All in all a great dining experience and would highly recommend. read more

Awesome experience! 20/10!!! It was my wife's birthday and we decided to go and try Carnicero. When we got there they told us the waiting time was 1 hour and 45 minutes!!! We saw the restaurant full and a bunch of people waiting so it had to be a good signs and decided to wait. The real wait time was about 20 minutes!!! That was great because hunger was kicking in! Our waiter, Rene, was amazing! Always with a smile and with good suggestions. Actually everyone provided excellent service! They even gave my two daughters a pair of sunglasses! They were so happy! The restaurant itself was decorated very nice. Low light to make it intimate and a nice bar. We ordered the Ibérico Platter to start. It comes with Jamón ibérico, tortilla española, manchego cheese, a peach jam, olives, and a piece of bread. The star was the tortilla española! It was soft, velvety, savory, and a touch of sweet. Then I ordered the Denver Wagyu Steak and asked it cooked medium rare. The steak was a butter!!! Cooked and seasoned!!! I also had the boniato truffle purée. OMG! That was probably one of the best bites of the night! It was velvety and had a very nice sweet touch from the boniato along with the flavor of the truffles. Lastly, I ordered a double espresso. They even sang happy birthday to my wife when they brought her dessert which was the pineapple crema catalana. That was a very tasty dessert. If you go know you'll spend a good amount of money as it is pricey, but it is worth it! 100% recommended!!! read more

Everything was absolutely amazing. I've been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The service is wonderful, our server was nice and attentive. We ordered a couple of appetizers to start off, followed by our entrees. The Serrano ham and manchego cheese croquettes were to die for, they were so soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We also had chorizo as an appetizer which was grilled to perfection. The chorizo came with a chimichurri on the side which was extremely flavorful. As an entree I enjoyed the churrasco medium well, they cooked it exactly as ordered. My friends had the New York strip and churrasco as well and they really enjoyed it. Another item that was amazing was the truffle fries, they layer shredded manchego cheese on top which just makes it that much better. For the dessert we ordered the pineapple filled with crema de catalana. It had compressed pineapple, orange-pineapple gelato and an orange zest. It honestly tasted like I was having an orange dream bar. I enjoyed it very much. They bring it out all extravagantly with dry ice so it's smoking. The vibes of this restaurant are very rustic chic, they really set the vibe for an amazing dining experience. You've got to check them out if you're in Kendall. read more

Last night, Friday night, was my birthday weekend, and although I've never been one to make a big deal about celebrating my birthday, Erika B wanted to take me out to dinner and suggested Carnicero Restaurant in Kendall. Looking back, I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the evening. When we arrived, there was a huge line of people waiting, which is usually a sign that something special is happening inside. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hostess with a beautiful smile who assured us the wait would only be about 30 minutes. We decided to grab a couple of seats at the bar while we waited, and that's when the evening started feeling extra special. The bartender welcomed us with a smile and the very first words out of his mouth were, "Happy Birthday!" To this day, I'm not sure how he knew, but it immediately made me feel welcomed and appreciated. We enjoyed glasses of the house red wine, a wonderful Ribera del Duero from Spain, and shared an order of beef croquettes that were absolutely amazing. True to their word, about 30 minutes later, the bartender personally escorted us to our table. Our server, Iliana, introduced herself and quickly became one of the highlights of our visit. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience memorable. We shared the 12-ounce Denver Wagyu steak and the 12-ounce lechón asado, accompanied by moros, plátanos maduros, and tostones. Every dish arrived fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. The quality of the food was outstanding from start to finish. Just when I thought the evening couldn't get any better, the staff surprised me by bringing out a flaming pineapple while singing Happy Birthday. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration feel even more special. Inside the pineapple was a Crema Catalana that was simply incredible and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. What impressed me most wasn't just the food, it was the people. From the hostess, to the bartender, to Iliana, everyone made us feel genuinely welcome. The restaurant was spotless and beautifully decorated, and for a few hours I felt like I had been transported back to Spain instead of being in Miami. A heartfelt thank you to Erika B for planning such a wonderful evening and to the entire Carnicero team for making my birthday celebration one I'll remember for a long time. Great food, exceptional service, and a warm atmosphere made for a truly unforgettable Friday night. I highly recommend Carnicero and look forward to returning soon. read more

Came here on a Friday night and had a solid experience overall. We arrived around 5:45 and waited about 35 minutes. There were several parties waiting and more continued to arrive, so I'd recommend planning to get there early. The restaurant has a modern farmhouse vibe that feels warm and comfortable without being overly trendy. Food was very good overall. The steaks were cooked well, and the churrascos came with chimichurri and salt on the side. The sides paired nicely with everything we ordered, and a huge shoutout for being one of the few restaurants that serve tostones crispy. The lobster had good flavor but was a bit dry, and melted butter on the side would have really helped. Service was a highlight. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, plates were cleared quickly as we ate, and utensils were replaced after appetizers and before the main courses. Prices felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, we had a good experience and would return. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is moody and it was not too packed when I went. Our server Mario was absolutely amazing he made the experience so much better, very friendly and charismatic. For drinks I got the Put-in cocktail which was deliciously sweet and refreshing with a side of popping boba, there's not a lot of wine options by the glass but the one we picked was fantastic. To start I had the wagyu tar tar which is prepared table side with jamón ibérico on top, the ceviche bites , and the croquetas which was all very delicious. For main dish I got the churrasco cooked as recommend (medium) and I also tried the Denver Wagyu , both came with a side of chimichurri and both were cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. For sides I had the maduros, arroz Moro , yuca fries , and the potatoes asada which were all fantastic. For dessert they had a turrón dessert which was like nothing I've ever tried before. Overall I thought it was a great spot and very reasonably priced. read more

Celebrated a family member's birthday at Carnicero in Kendall today. Since they don't accept reservations, we ended up waiting at least 30 minutes because our full party wasn't onsite yet. Once inside, it was a pleasant and delicious experience. Great service. Great food. We started our meal with appetizers such as ceviche bites, truffle fries, las croquetas(stole the show). The complimentary bread and butter was warm and delicious. My entree as the churrasco (medium), moros and maduros. I still had room for dessert so I ordered the chocolatera, a chocolate mousse on top and vanilla icecream at the bottom. This is definitely a must dine at restaurant. read more

We dined at Carnicero Steakhouse with a reservation, but the wait was still longer than expected, which was a bit disappointing. Once seated, the service and atmosphere were fine. The steak itself was good and well prepared, but the portion size felt smaller compared to other steakhouses in a similar category and price range. The menu also felt somewhat limited, especially for kids, as there weren't many kid-friendly options, which made it a little less ideal for families. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience and the food was decent, but it didn't really stand out enough for me to want to come back regularly. I'd consider it for a special occasion or trying once, but not as a go-to steakhouse. read more

Carnicero was better then we expected. The service was great. Decor was amazing. Fun atmosphere and plenty of room for large groups to celebrate a birthday. If it's your first time I highly recommend "las croquettes" to start. They're delicious and fried to perfection. Also a great choice for you and the date is the "Carnicero board" it has a wide variety of items from the menu and it is delicious. The prices are also very fare. We didn't make a reservation but the wait time was short. However I recommend you make one. Great restaurant, really enjoyed everything. Decor is very nice. read more

We went here on a Monday morning without a reservation and were seated right away with no wait. To start, we tried the fried garbanzo beans, and they were absolutely delicious. They were a great way to kick off the meal. For our mains, we had the filet mignon and the picanha, and both were excellent. The meats were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. We finished by ordering the crema Catalina which they put their own twist to it by serving it on a pineapple. Very fun. The service was also very good. Our servers were attentive and checked in on us regularly throughout the meal. If I'm being completely honest, at the beginning it felt a little like they were trying to upsell us on a few things. However, as the meal went on, things felt much more relaxed, and they were genuinely very nice and accommodating. I'd definitely come back. read more

Carnicero - Appetizer. Frita de malanga. Car acción de wagyu. - Steakhouses Near Me - Miami, Florida

Excellent food and service !! Steaks are amazing and appetizers were delicious. I hope to go again !!

Outstanding steak house. We started with two delicious drinks, one was made with mezcal and jalapeño and the other was tequila and fresh pineapple juice. Both were so refreshing and delicious. We ordered a couple of appetizers; the Spanish style garbanzos were my favorite and then we shared the Wagyu Steak and their grilled salad, both were to die for. The quality of the food in this restaurant is outstanding. The flavors and the attention to detail shows on the very first bite. This food is made with passion. I was extremely impressed with this restaurant. The vibe felt expensive and elegant but the prices were actually decent. We didn't even spend two hundred dollars and we even had cafecito at the end, which was delicious. I will definitely go back again and again to Carnicero. read more

If you're serious about quality cuts and bold flavors, Carnicero is the spot that delivers on every front. You don't event have to wait to enter inside, you can just smell it from outside. Once you do walk in, the vibe screams modern steakhouse with a Latin twist and it's a perfect night out with my Latin Familia or just a fun date night out. There's an abundant choices of meat and they're all phenomenal. Whether you go for a ribeye, churrasco, or picanha, you're in for a treat. Even the Pan con Bistec and that meat quality was amazing. I am getting ahead of myself because we obviously started with the appetizers. We had the empanadas, the tar tare, chorizo and everything was absolutely amazing. Those we had the loaded with artisanal meats and cheeses that pair beautifully with their house-made sauces. They were paired with a sort of chimichurri sauce that just paired really nice. Before that, we obviously got some drinks. The family favorite of course, was the sangria pitcher. Not 1, not 2, but 4! I know, that good. I had a craft cocktail, which was a Mezcal Sour and it was perfectly smoky and citrusy. The service was overall great. Will be back! read more

O M G! what an amazing steakhouse place. Every time we pass by this location, no matter the time, it's always so packed. Lia was our server and she was so sweet, so quick, so efficient, and amazing at explaining everything on the menu. She truly performed a whole presentation for us. The music was very loud so it was very hard to hear family across the table but atleast it was good music. They sang happy birthday so many times and so loud it was a little disturbing but overall the food was delicious and the carniceros board and the croquetas are an absolute MUST! read more

I wanted to give this place a try since a few friends had come and I had mixed reviews from them. The restaurant is super welcoming and has a great vibe. The bar is comfortable enough for eating if it no tables are available... which is common. The restaurant is usually full. When we arrived, without a reservation, they said about 30 minutes to get seated, and it was just about right. We got a few drinks at the bar and appetizers to calm the hunger. The wagyu carpaccio is very good as it was the ceviche. I personally think the ceviche can use some spiciness to make it better. Once seated, our server Lili was super attentive and very friendly. She was always available, and everything came out of the kitchen in a timely manner. I would say that the steak needed seasoning and the sides like the Moros were a bit gummy. The carnicero board is plentiful and good for 2 people, maybe 3, depending on tank capacity. The best thing was actually the chicken. It was moist and seasoned perfectly. Everything else... just okay. The branzino (fish of the day) was grilled nicely, and it is a good choice for the ones that do not like meat. Overall... it wasn't a bad dinner, but not WOW experience either. It is more like a 3.5 stars than a straight 4. read more

Today June 10, 2026 I went to this restaurant Carnicero in Kendall, and it was well worth it. Francisco really run this bar like a pro, how do you handle all of this so seamlessly. I love how attentive you are, even when the service bar is slammed. The flavor were perfectly balanced, and was cooked to absolute perfection. It was so incredibly tender I could cut it with a butter knife. From the host who greeted me with a smile to the entire staff made me feel like VIP. My churrasco was so perfect, juicy. And of course, El Flan with lemon zest, yummy . I will come back for sure, well recommended. Keep up the good work. G.B. read more

Beautiful steakhouse in the Kendall area with a great atmosphere and a strong start to the meal. The croquetas were excellent and the wagyu tartare was honestly the highlight of the night. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill with the main courses. We ordered a picanha and a filet, both cooked medium, but both arrived well done. That is a major miss for a steakhouse. As someone who enjoys cooking steaks at home, it is disappointing to see a restaurant specializing in steak get the temperatures completely wrong. First visit here, and unfortunately it will probably be the last. read more

While visiting Miami, we decided to stop in, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The appetizers were flavorful, and our drinks were expertly crafted. We only waited about eight minutes for a table, so we must have arrived at just the right time. Even though the self standing restaurant is tucked into a strip mall, parking was easy, and once inside, the atmosphere felt very upscale. The servers were not only friendly but also extremely knowledgeable about the menu. They described the dishes in detail and offered excellent recommendations. The energy in the restaurant was great. Several nearby tables were celebrating special occasions, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I'm already looking forward to coming back with my daughter after telling her all about it! read more

I don't understand all the hype with the food. Long wait lines and loud unbearable location. Food was not all that. Very small plates with little flavors. Service was good. But, every 2 minutes a birthday celebration. Not an issue, but I think people just get annoyed and keep asking for birthday song. Overall I will not return but everyone can have a poor evening once in a while. You should try it and make your own decision. read more

This was the first time we were at this restaurant. I was a little hesitant because this location has been many different restaurants. It had a really nice vibe. We tried making reservations but they don't make any on the weekends. There were a lot of people so I suggest getting there early for dinner. The food was amazing. The meats were not overly seasoned. I was a little bit afraid of that. We ordered the parilla that brought a little bit of everything. They told us it was for 2 people but it can definitely feed more. They do take a little long to bring out the food. It was definitely worth it though. We will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Overall positive experience. We arrived on a Thursday around 6:30pm, no wait. Ordered a Put-In cocktail and the smallest glass bottle baby coke, along with 2 sausages and croquetas. Then went with a churrasco with maduros, more croquetas and the fried rice. Something about the sausage didn't sit well with me so I had half a bite. The croquetas were fire - bechamel, very smooth. The churrasco had great flavor but was a very small portion (8 oz), maduros were dry, and the fried rice was absolute fire! I will go back again and again just for that. My put-in cocktail was amazing, as well. The service was not great. Our server disappeared a lot and wasn't around when we needed to order additional drinks or ask for the check. Once we paid and were ready to head out, there was a huge line outside. The lighting is a bit weird - overhead & bright - but overall the decor and vibe of the place is very nice. I would definitely return and recommend it. read more

My boyfriend and I came on our anniversary and sat at the bar. Service was okay, took a bit to get their attention each time. Our martini was delicious, mashed potatoes were very runny, the yuca frita was amazing especially with the sauce they pair it with. Now moving on to the meats. The portions are not worth the pricing. You pay for churrasco they give you half the strip, overcooked, and not that much flavor. The restaurant is pretty and clean. read more

Very disappointing experience. The seating arrangements were poorly managed and extremely uncomfortable. The service was slow, inattentive, and it felt like the staff had no interest in taking care of their customers. The most disappointing part was that after waiting and dealing with the poor service, we decided to get up and leave--and no one even acknowledged us or seemed to care. That alone says a lot about how little they value their guests. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Good customer service starts with making guests feel welcome and appreciated, and this place completely missed the mark. read more

Impeccable all the way! From just opening the door and the smell of just good food hits your nose instantly. Love the decor, the huge chandelier in the center, the bar, just everything. This restaurant is 5 stars hands down. The wait was quick, the seating great, the service awesome, the food freaking delicious! We loved everything so much we came back the next day. The first night we were a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. We ordered the appetizer of the frito de malanga which came with a honey to dip and the waygu carpaccio..perfect starters. Then around the table there was picanha, churrasco, lamb, fries, tostones, house and cesar salad. Pick any, they were all perfectly cooked ,seasoned, melt in your mouth delicious! We also surprised the birthday girl with a dessert that came in a pineapple which was like a brule but the taste is just a different taste of sweetness that truly stands out. And when they broufgt it out the presentation amd staff made it seem like VIP up in the club. We all had just a fantastic evening! I am beyond ecstatic that this steak house is a definite keeper!
