Food is great and ambiance, too. Service is definitely nice, just be prepared to wait some.

Had great expectations and prices were alright and the food was really good all up until the very end. Upon sitting down we give our drink orders and my friend asked for a spicy margarita and after explaining what it was, we told our waitress to basically make a regular margarita and add a jalapeño to it. Okay cool. We're brought out some chips and crema. Okay cool. We eat and ask for our leftovers to go. Okay cool. Fun part! We now get the bill and see we have to pay for the chips we thought were brought out complimentary, pay for the jalapeño in the margarita & pay additional for the take out containers. We were not told we had to pay additional for any of it. So good food, but if you take your chance, remember to ask if you're paying extra for anything before you take it. Good luck! read more

We've been to this spot many times--it's a typical, vibrant Hispanic place in Miami, and it was actually my mother-in-law's favorite. We came here after her funeral service to honor her, and it really felt like the right choice. Despite it being Father's Day, they were able to accommodate our large party of over 30 pretty quickly, which was impressive. The food was delicious as always, and the music added a nice energy to the experience. Service was a bit mixed--my table was well taken care of, but others in our group had to track down waiters just to get water and drinks, and the food was served almost 1 hour after the rest of us which was disappointing. All in all, it was a meaningful meal, and we appreciated having a place where we could come together as a family and remember someone we loved. read more

Restaurante muy típico y auténtico con la comida Centro Americana. Great service by the waitresses and the manager. Plenty of space a tables for guests. Great for big groups. They also have a bar area with additional seating. They play music and sometimes have live bands playing. We ordered an appetizer called súper antojitos to start off with. Price is $25/$30 but it is so worth it! Great starter for groups of 3-5 people. You can down one by yourself but chances are you won't have space for the pupusas! In the video you'll see pupusas de frijol con queso and the Salvadorian favorite queso con loroco. So good! Only thing I noticed was that they were oily and the masa was falling apart. After we started eating them you could literally open them in half like if it was an arepa - which they aren't meant to be like. Overall it's a great place to enjoy a little taste of home. read more

My family and have been going here for years and every time we come food is pretty good but the servers are trash! I dread coming to place lately but my mom love the pupusas here so we come but like I said the servers are trash and I mean the waiters! You have to go looking for them or flag them down and sometimes they act like they don't see you, we get better service from the busboy. We went today and I'm so upset that I'm writing this review to hopefully warn others of this bad service and hopefully the damn owner do something about it. Our server Paula was horrible barely checked on our table, we had ordered appetizers and she brought one of our main dishes first cold and never brought the actual appetizers. 20 mins passed and she saw that our food was ready and she yelled at another guy who is like a busboy/food runner and to bring our food to the table and he brought the other main dishes with the apps and they were cold who know how long they were sitting at the window and it was just 3 of us we didn't have a big party to explain why the delay or why she forgot to bring the food and we went around 3:45-4:00 and the restaurant was not full! We were so upset that our appetite was gone from the frustration we had. We were able to get containers to go which btw they charge you for, we packed our food and got the bill and paid! Wasn't going to tip her but left something for her in cash because at least she wasn't like the other waiter we had here who gave us bad service and included gratuity in our bill for a table of 3 and his included tip was $25.00! Ridiculous! Food is good here but you're better off ordering to go and taking it home, you won't be missing out in the service! En español: Mi familia y yo hemos venido aquí por años, y cada vez que venimos la comida está bastante buena, ¡pero los meseros son una basura! Últimamente me da pereza venir a este lugar, pero a mi mamá le encantan las pupusas de aquí, así que venimos. Pero como dije, los meseros son pésimos, ¡y me refiero a los camareros! Tienes que ir a buscarlos o hacerles señas, y a veces actúan como si no te vieran. Recibimos mejor servicio del ayudante de mesero. Hoy fuimos y estoy tan molesta que estoy escribiendo esta reseña para advertir a otros sobre este mal servicio, y con suerte, que el maldito dueño haga algo al respecto. Nuestra mesera, Paula, fue horrible, apenas se acercó a nuestra mesa. Habíamos pedido aperitivos y ella trajo uno de los platos principales primero, frío, y nunca trajo los aperitivos. Pasaron 20 minutos y vio que nuestra comida ya estaba lista. Entonces le gritó a otro chico que parece ser ayudante de cocina/mesero para que trajera nuestra comida, y él trajo los otros platos principales con los aperitivos, todos fríos. Quién sabe cuánto tiempo llevaban en la ventana. Y solo éramos tres personas, no teníamos un grupo grande como para justificar el retraso o que se le olvidara traernos la comida. Fuimos como entre las 3:45 y 4:00, y el restaurante no estaba lleno. Estábamos tan molestos que se nos quitó el apetito del coraje que teníamos. Pudimos pedir envases para llevar, que por cierto te los cobran. Empacamos la comida, pedimos la cuenta y pagamos. No pensaba dejarle propina, pero le dejé algo en efectivo porque al menos no fue como otro mesero que tuvimos aquí, que nos dio un mal servicio y además incluyó la propina en la cuenta para una mesa de 3 personas, ¡y la propina incluida era de $25.00! ¡Ridículo! La comida aquí es buena, pero mejor pide para llevar y cómetela en casa. ¡No te perderás de nada del "servicio"! read more

Do not recommend, food was not fresh service was terrible just a plain bad experience. The callo pinto was bland with no taste. One piece of meat was cold the other piece was warm. I'm not even sure if the chicken I ate was chicken. Felt nauseous after I finished my meal. Stay away! read more

This was one of my favorite lunch spots when I worked in the area and I still try to stop by when I'm in the area. My personal favorite dishes are Pollo a la Parrilla (Grilled Chicken Breast) and Pollo a la Parmigiana con Pasta (Chicken Parmesan with pasta). The staff is always welcoming and caring and happy to offer suggestions or alteration on menu items. The meals are filling and the prices are pretty reasonable. We have yet to come here and not leave satisfied! The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty laid back and relaxed. Great for groups or dining alone. There's also a full bar in the back of the restaurant if you just want to stop by for a drink or two. Definitely try the papusas when you stop by! read more

Great food and good prices, always full of happy people, I have been coming here for many years and hopefully nothing changes

Good food service needs to be better. Don't go on Friday or Saturday nights unless you looking for a party take out takes over an hour when the party is going on but pretty good food go here regularly read more

Hands down the best service I've received in ANY restaurant. Fast, friendly and always a fun time everything you can ask for in an establishment. The food was 100/10, full of flavor and fresh every time. The atmosphere is very nice and when you look around can find some beautiful art on the walls. Always a good time when I come here wether it be with friends or dining by myself. read more

Wow, it's hard finding a good Centro American food but I have finally found it!! It was so good I forgot to take a photo of the food!

I went there with friends, and I told them about this place, very nice food and púpusas and don't forget about the soup. Amazing soup if you are in hangover try the " Mariscada with milk". Beers are colder as North Pole and service is outstanding, but there is an observation that I noticed in the previous visit. The waitress was a bit lost. As I see it maybe she was in another place. I ask her for something simple a glass of water without ice and she gave me the water with ice after asking for the water 3 times already. That's it. 1 star off because of that. Everything else excellent service,food and environment. See you soon. read more

This is one of my fav restaurants for Central American food :) Prices are great for the portion and flavor of the food. Loud music so don't expect a quiet environment. read more

El staff muy bueno. La comida rica y buen precio! No atendieron rápida y con mucha paciencia.

This place has great food and very entertaining Saturday nights. They have a live performer ( starts at 10 pm ) and karaoke starts at 1 am. It's a large place but with WAY too many chairs, it ends up turning into a maze. It is located in a mid sized shopping plaza in Sweetwater. read more

This is the fifth and sixth time we came to this place.It's consistently good. This time the service was a little bit slow but that's because they were super busy, so IT can be forgiven.

El Centro Americano - Love this place - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Despite my 4 star rating this is an OG spot for my fiancé and I. We have been here countless times during our relationship and continue to come here with our children. If you're looking for Central American cuisine you're pretty much in the right spot and a affordable price point. We have always had great service here and the food has always been up to par. The only thing I HATE here is going on the weekends. Why? Because this is kind of an oldie hangout spot for old Hispanics so they have Karaoke and some guy selling beads and small paintings, another lady selling burned DVDs. It's always obnoxiously loud during this time and just not a spot to go with the kids. Other than that the food is great, the sopa de cola, the appetizer sampler and the pupusas are amazing! I will continue to come here. & you definitely need to have the Nicaraguan beer-- Toña. You're welcome. read more

Good food, this business has been around for years however the food is extremely, overpriced. Please be mindful that a carne asada sits at $14.50 when their menu states it's $13.50. This is not grade A quality meat and they are constantly increasing their price not caring about the local constant patrons that maintain this establishment opened. Not to mention that the restaurant isn't as clean as it should be, dust everywhere you can see it in the vents, ceilings & window blinds. read more

Good Central America food. I love the costillas asadas, meat soup, the rice. It will have five starts with a better service

Sad to say that the price has become outraged. They are very cheap and money hungry. Enough is enough . I have been visiting them for over 10 year. They cotinue to make new menu with price increase. El lomito con champignons was about 12.95 . Up to 16.00. Order salmon lunch special was 9.99. Omg You should see the size of my salmon less then 3 0z . How cheap can they be. If you place an order To go they charge you for your container. How the heck do you carry out an order without a container if your offering the service. When you dine and take some food home they charge you the containers as Well. It is to be expected if they charge the to go containers. . They charge 1.00 for the armature singer. I go there for the food not for the want to be singer. That most of the time it is annoying. I had the churrasco I put chimichurri . I ask for a little container so I can take my left over. They charge 5.00 for the chimichurri. The chimimichurri , onion, and hot sauce they put in the center of the table . It is the most disgusting you can imagine. You can see people eating right out of it with a fork over and over . They then remove it and place in another table. Ugh . Lunch today$55.00 less then 3 oz salmon and tiny frozen shrimp , salad of lettuce and tomates. Lomito champion 15.95 read more

The service has always been horrible. I visited today and the food was horrid and not cooked. read more

So this place was recommended to me by my friend. She warned me by telling me its not the great environment for our age haha, but the food is very good. From the moment we walked in, and sat ourselves down we were already getting greeted in. our server was very attentive he gave us great recommendations for appetizers. my friend, and I decided to have a Pupusa one each of fried beans, queso, chicharon it was fire!! it comes with a small portion of salad on the side, and to drink we had one homemade juice of Mora, and maracuya. Speaking of prices their OK.. they aren't expensive at all. Their the same price if you will go anywhere else around that area. For our late night snack it was in total together around $15.00 which we didn't think it was bad at all.The restaurant is mainly a Latin American restaurant they mostly serve Honduran, Nicaraguan, rarely Cuban. We went on a Friday, and the environment was very fun they do karaoke night, they have live music as well start around 8pm we got told, but it was getting extremely loud in there to the point I couldn't hear my friends speak. I will be returning back just for the pupusas!! *Regarding parking your vehicle it is not an issue you have plenty of parking there the restaurant is located in a shopping center. read more

This place is full of thieves and they use their loud music to say they didn't hear you well on what you ordered then they charge you for stuff you didn't ask for. Their service is horrible always has been, before and after covid. And now their crappy food is even more expensive. Tell me how they offer you sauces etc but don't inform you that it's extra. They tell you until the end. Then they try to charge you at the end for their "error". The staff is extremely rude and very disrespectful. Would give a negative rating several times if I could as a zero is still too much. read more

Don't get the grilled chicken it taste like nothing. I don't know what happened, haven't been here in like 3 years and the quality is completely different. Everything was mediocre. The rice and beans were bland. It just wasn't enjoyable. Also having people constantly come up to you trying to sell you things is kind of annoying when you just want to enjoy your dinner in peace. The waitress completely forgot about us. We waiting for our check for like 30 mins. The service was slow. And our waitress looked miserable and annoyed. Won't be going here again. read more

Worst service ever when they have karaoke. They totally are disregarding the covid 19 by not complying with any of the rules. You see servers without their masks on but under their chins. It concentrates on only big parties which are not allowed by rule. This party had 20 people on one table. Honestly i think they need to rethink their priorities and check more often on the clients they have at their tables. I came out very disappointed and don't think of coming back. No sanitation liquid on their tables. read more

This is the best place for pupusas in Miami - bar none! I enjoy the pupusas revueltas as well as the queso con loroco. If you are looking for authentic Central American food - this is the place. Be warned that on the weekends it gets a little loud with karaoke/in-house entertainment. But that just adds to the atmosphere! This place has long hours - open late - and it lets you take orders to go (just note that they charge $.25 per to go container). Enjoy! Buen provecho! read more
