Wow! The complimentary soup was a win! Such a unique offering and it's truly the most delicious ever I was shocked to love it. We all asked for more and more! lol. The fresh maracuya juice was amazingly delicious! Large portions here and my fish meal was great. Leftovers were more great. I suppose it's hard to season & moisten a fish that large but ultimately I was glad it wasn't too salty. Go, enjoy! read more

This Colombian food chain has gained some popularity in the past couple of years. I've had the pleasure of visiting the Kendall location and wanted to love this one just as much. They boast both indoor and outdoor seating with the same aesthetic and nods to Colombian culture, like the cute hats and sandals hanging on the wall. We were seated inside fairly quickly on the Sunday afternoon we came in. They were pretty busy, but the waiters were kind of hanging out at the bar, just chit-chatting. We were able to get one of the servers to look at us after a couple of minutes of sitting there. They brought us a little palate-opener of a small portion of a simple soup. They had a margarita special we tried, $5 frozen margaritas. The maracuya (passion fruit) one was a solid choice. I also ordered the mojarra frita with white rice, tostones, and salad. The rice was really undercooked. The waiter tried to appease us by bringing us more of the same uncooked rice. We were not the only table to say something about it because our neighbors confirmed they too received the same and were also unhappy. Other than that, the rest of my meal was great. However, I will say my mom was very upset with her experience and expressed that her chicken wasn't prepared well either. read more

True authentic Colombian cuisine! The host were very attentive to sit my group down. We were greater with a caldo of sancocho which makes you feel at home right away. Truly a place that really appreciates their roots and shares with the community. read more

Tried this location for the first time. Small but cozy. Was seated right away. Their menu is typical of a Colombian restaurant. They have specials every day of the week mon-fri. Empanadas were good. I recommend the pack of 4 that way you have room for your food. I ordered Mondongo (beef stripe) the plate was clean and plentiful. Temperature was excelent. Rice and arrepa as a side dish could use a little bit of Temperature. Now this is were it gets tricky. The Bandeja Paisa y an iconic Colombian dish. Plentiful in the sense of all of the ingredients. Anyway, I highly recommend that you specify the temperature of the meat to the server. I ate that one because I better. The ambience was good. The service could use a little of follow up when it comes to drinks. Other than that the servers were professional. The food was priced accordingly however the final stroke came when I paid the bill there is an 18% tip fee already included and a Homeless tax fee paired with the taxes. read more

Went to the restaurant after a day of travel since it's fairly close to the airport. When you walk in the decor is very Colombia. Clean and the smell of food hits you in the face. We were promptly sat down and greeted with a little bit of caldo to start. It was hot and DELICIOUS. Great free little treat and a nice touch. We both ordered the bandeja paisa and all the protein was delicious but the rice was hard, the egg was very overcooked and the beans were a little cold. Overall it was good. read more

If I could give 0 stars I WOULD Hostile ambiance, food, and service disappointing all around. Our waitress was both sassy and unprofessional, and to make matters worse, we were charged twice with zero accountability or remorse when it was brought up. Also worth noting: tip is automatically included, so even if your experience is as poor as ours, you'll still be paying extra. Definitely not worth it. read more

Oh my god can we just say ORDER ONE PLATE FOR TWO (see photos)!! The servings are huge and delicious salsa music playing clean and friendly staff I cannot emphasize how good it was a def must go and reasonable prices for the portions Cristal was an amazing help kept us happy helped with food choices loved this place we come to Miami at least once or twice a year.

Greatest food! Bandeja paisa is spectacular. Always full place so great ambiance, I wish they would come to Doral.

The food here is very fresh. The chicken broth was noticeably home made as well as the salsa and chimmichuri. We had the Picada Pequena. It was very good. The french fries were very crispy. The steak and chicken were tender. I would absolutely recommend this place. And of course I would visit again. We were here for lunch and they did have lunch specials. read more

Very authentic and aesthetically pleasing. Proper service and great food. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa which is always a little different at each Colombian restaurant. Here was one of the better platters. Everything was absolutely delicious and everyone in my party was very happy. read more

Service was rude as we asked to sit outside and eat our ($60 worth of) takeout from Fonda...their own place. I told them that we were starving and changed our minds as we wanted to eat our Fonda takeout, which we just picked up from them, and how we would order beers and more food at the table. The hostess said "no, because we ordered takeout that gave them no tips." She would not let us sit at any of the empty outdoor tables because we ordered takeout. Note all the outdoor tables were empty. Just rude so I will not be returning. Not returning. read more

The food is very good; I've been there with my family several times at different times. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. They do a great job representing Colombian food in Miami. The prices are also quite reasonable, and they're very good at recommending dishes and their portion sizes. I would only ask that they lower the music volume because sometimes it's too loud and bothersome. That would be excellent.! read more

Como colombiano llegué con mucha alegria de conocer un nuevo sitio, pero atención fue pésima, fueron muy bruscos al hablar cuando ordenaba, y los colombianos nos caracterizamos por un servicio agradable y bonito, la cual no viví las dos veces que fui... por eso escribo porque no fue una sino dos. No lo recomiendo, le falta más entrenamiento al personal. read more

We had high hopes for this restaurant, but the experience was mixed. We waited a few minutes for an indoor table, which was fine. The waiter quickly brought us caldo (chicken broth), which was a nice touch. We ordered two bandejas paisa and a steak with fries from the kids' menu. Food arrived fast but was only warm, not hot. The steaks were ordered medium well but came out medium with blood. They were chewy and very salty. Portions were just okay. What really threw us off was seeing the waiters taking shots at the bar during service--very unprofessional. Also, an 18% tip was automatically added to the check. Overall, decent service, but the food and atmosphere missed the mark. read more

Came in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was empty when I arrived but quickly filled up. The servers were nice and bring you a cup of chicken consume to start off. Such a nice touch on a chilly day. Pros: Sancocho de res was delicious and so was the chocolo. Cons: Breaded chicken was a major disappointment. It was pure breading and paper thin chicken. I do see myself returning to try other dishes. read more

18% service charge included but they don't say anything about that. Then I pay 20% more for tips.

Very sadly so, I was very disappointed with the taste of the food. Poor food quality. The only thing worth praising is the service that I received from the waitresses. I sincerely do not recommend it. read more

Terrible service, I made an online order and they charged me for something they did no have in stock and did not refund my money, even though I never received the order. When I called to request a refund the lady as rude, unprofessional and told me to figure it out. I never eating here again. They lost a regular customer. read more

NOT a good overall experience at this place!!! Stay away!! Sadly, I was tricked into coming to have dinner here after a long day of work because of the high ratings, but that was a realy bad decision. Maybe if you go in the middle of the afternoon with several hours before closing, then the experience will be different, but for a place that forces their mandatory 18% Service charge on every bill, regardless of the service you receive, they should respect the customers enough to give them just as good service, even if you arrive 1 hr and 15 min before the restaurant closes. The lack of service became evident when our waitress (young, dark hair, thick body, dental braces it appeared like), was paying more attention to the gossip with her co-workers, regarding whose boyfriend and girlfriend, was doing this or that, laughing and even eating a little bit. All instead of paying attention to our needs at the table, like wanting another drink, getting the order correct, etc. After asking multiple questions over the menu options, I never heard her confirm what my order was, or even write it down to be certain of what we both wanted. If that would have been done at the beginning, there would have been no mistake. In addition, when I went to the bathroom, there was nothing to dry my hands with and in coming out and informing a male server, he said, "just go into the men's bathroom for some paper". To which I answered, "but the door is closed, and I have no way to get inside". At that momen it was obvious by his facial expression, and that of our server, as well as one other, that I had disturbed their fun moment, and that they were more focused on getting ready to close the restaurant, instead of giving us our 18% mandatory service charge, Service. When the wrong platter/ order showed up in front of me at the table, instead of being understanding with how she might have mistaken the order (after not even writing it down), the server decided to argue with me and ultimately, tell me that the kitchen was closed and that I could not have the dish I wanted anymore. But even so, I rejected the incorrect dish she had brought and was not going to eat a main platter at all. Instead, I received some food through what my friend split with me from their plate. After realizing I was visibly upset, our server went to the back and upon returning, said that they would try to make an exception for me, to prepare my originally ordered plate. But, I rejected her halfway insulting look and offer, since it was obvious that it was only done to get me to be quiet and not make a formal complaint. So, I stayed long enough to keep my friend company, while they finished their meal. But, not before at approximately 15 to 20 minutes before closing, the entire staff made us feel like we were definitely bothering them. There was yelling and extremely loud singing coming from the kitchen area (we were furthest from there next to the door), and it was adopted by those workers in the area behind the counter. Once again, not respecting that there was still one table with customers left in the restaurant. We left, and said thank you, but can guarantee you, we will definitely not make the mistake of ever returning to this place! And, with as small of a world as Miami is, believe me, we will inform as many as will listen, of all the truly fantastic Colombian restaurants that there are in this city and for as many as possible to avoid the Fonda Sabaneta west Flagler restaurant, so they do not have the terrible service we had. read more
