    Outside

    We needed a restaurant that was open early (6 AM) when we arrived in Miami. Yelp helped us find El Metro, close to the airport. A no frills place where English is not the primary spoken language. In the early hours, the place seems to cater to laborers about to begin their workday. I can't recall what we ordered but EVERYTHING was delicious. We were served warm, toasty buttered bread. The expression was creamy, stein and hot. The burrito was huge. The eggs were fluffy. Total bill for three was $36. I highly recommend!

    It's hard not to give a perfect rating to perfect service and a breakfast of delicious chorizo, fried eggs, a perfectly cooked hash brown, cuban toast, and cafe con leche, all for under $10 with tax and tip. Easy to find the place, ample parking, a takeout window, ample bar and table seating inside. This is getting bookmarked.

    Chicken taco salad. So good!

    I finally got to try this place today, found from Yelp and yet again it didnt let me down. It had few reviews so I'm assuming they havent been around too long. However it was packed inside with what appeared to be regulars so I'll have to do more research on that. I've only tried their chicken taco salad so my review may change based on future visits but so far it's a 10/10. Inside was very clean. I only speak English and still got exactly what I wanted without having to point awkwardly or have a misunderstanding. The chicken taco salad was amazing! High quality and high quantity. The chicken didnt appear to have any fat and tasted great. Seemed like 2 chicken breasts- there was plenty and it was so good! Lots of lettuce, cheese, some tomato and plenty of rice and beans. I do wish it came with a hot sauce but I didnt request it either. Very good and I'd highly recommend it!

He was our server and he was a real pleasure. He recommended the Pancakes which were the best I've had and I travel often. Then we ordered the side order of short ribs. They' were tender and full of flavor. Also ordered the Asian Salad. Not a huge fan of it because of the Kale but overall the components were tasty and the dressing was amazing. Lastly, the strawberry matcha was amazing! The right balance of sweetness. This is a great place to visit especially if you're like us and needed to kill some time before the cruise allows for embarkation. Outside was clean and the rest room was also cleans.

This proved to be a mistake on our part. We should have sat outside where there was a breeze. Seems the restaurant didn't have air conditioning. After a while I noticed everyone inside was fanning themselves Now onto the food... I had the pastelito pancakes, 2 eggs and a grilled chicken breast. Everything was cooked properly and tasted good. My beautiful date had the chicken chilaquiles which was also very good. Overall the food was 4 stars but if you are looking for a place to escape the heat...well not so much.

Food Quality: We ordered burgers, which unfortunately were overcooked. My husband decided to send his back, and while the second attempt was better, it still didn't hit the mark. We also tried the fried chicken sandwich, which was decent but fell short of the excitement promised in the menu description. Hunger vs. Quality: I was too hungry to send my burger back, so I ended up with a well-done burger that lacked the juicy flavor I was hoping for. It's disappointing when you anticipate a delicious meal, only to have it miss the mark. Pricing: I also found the prices a bit steep, especially for the drinks. The juices felt overly expensive compared to the overall dining experience. In summary, while Cafe Americano has potential, my experience was just okay. The food quality and value didn't quite align with our expectations. I might consider giving it another try in the future, but I'd approach it with a bit more caution.

After we received our food, our server never came back to check on us. She spent nearly the entire time attending to another table, leaving us without any service. I eventually had to ask a different server for water, and I was given hot water instead of cold. To make matters worse, the food itself was bland and lacked flavor. Between the poor service and the disappointing meal, this was not a pleasant dining experience. I hope management addresses these issues, as good customer service and quality food should be a priority.

The restaurant was so cute and even thought a World Cup game was in the tv, you didn't hear it. I had the 2-2-2 and instead of the potatoes I substituted a side of fruit. Heaven! It all tasted so good. A friend had an Açaí bowl and the other the B.E.L.T. No one got enough! We wanted more. We were taken care of by Patricia and she was lovely. She wasn't overbearing and hovering, but checked in just enough to keep our drinks full. The next time I'm in Miami I know where I'm eating.
