As a non Spanish speaking person going to a restaurant here I was little scared. They were so nice and do speak English and help me with knowing what type of food they serve. They were only cash so I didn't have enough money for one of them item and they were so kind of enough to give it for free. I will go there again and the size was so generous. read more

Well, I decided to come back because I guess they have new management. It seems a little bit cleaner now and less but I was there wasn't even treated right the cashier was rude. Plus she put more tips on the card but they have improved. I didn't like much the meat it had no flavor read more

Espero que cuando atiendan pongan todo lo que les corresponde a la comida porque se les olvida poner las ensaladas y chicharitas porque un está pagando $$$$ y sirvan lo que la cuchara coge $$$$ read more

The foood was delicious. I dont know how Nicaraguans season or cook their steaks, or if its flank steak of what cut of steak it is, but it's addicting, scrumptious and extremely affordable. Plus fried cheese and the salad. which always comes in a little plastic bag . Loved it. read more

Fritanga 505 - CARNE ASADA - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is up there with caña brava . The portions are great . The food is great and the cacao is also great .

As a Miamian woman who's had her fair share of Nicaraguan food, I can confidently say this spot is a gem. I stumbled upon it through a video on Instagram. The food looked so good, I literally got in my car and drove there the same day. And let me tell you, no regrets. The place is super clean, the girls working there are incredibly friendly, and the food? Hands down the best Nica food I've ever had. Flavorful, authentic, and clearly made with love. If you're craving Nicaraguan food that tastes like it came straight from someone's abuela's kitchen, this is it. 100% recommend. read more

Nicaraguan here. This place is a C- at most and that's being generous. Fell into all the hype and decided to give it a try. Tried just about all the fritangas around the city and this one easily took the title for worst one. There's two other ones a couple of blocks down that you'd be better off trying and for sure enjoying over this one. La Chavala and Carneasada Tortillera Nica. Food was mid, the gallopinto was very greasy and the carneasada was dry and not even enjoyable. read more

Nicaraguan here. If these is nothing open the go. The gallopinto was soooo greasy! Do not go here if you have high cholesterol. The steak was OK didn't have that juicy sour orange taste. It was very basic even the juices were not that good overall, this place to me is a one star. read more

The food here is good but the prices have gone up so much. I got carne asada with gallo pinto and maduros. They ran out of queso frito and I also ordered the taquitos which come 3 in an order and a medium cacao and was charged 27$. I find this to be a bit too much compared to before. read more

Great little Fritanga spot in Sweetwater. They are located in a very small strip , no frills plaza. Don't be put off by the surroundings, this is as local as it gets when you're craving some genuine Nicaraguan food. Portions are huge, prices are awesome, and the staff is no nonsense. Their selections vary daily , but the best bets are their Carne Asada or Cerdo Asada. The side choices include boiled yuca, plantains, mashed potatoes or plantain chips. Make sure you grab some of their cabbage salad and picante sauce, which adds a nice zing to your meal. If you have a sweet tooth, pick up their rice pudding or one their pastries. All in all, it's a great little joint and an easy meal when you're just too tired to cook. Two combos were enough to feed our family of 5! read more

I ordered from this place on UberEats which I have done before with no problems. My order was incorrect and the meat was extremely overcooked and chewy which was already upsetting. Nearly finished with my meal and I find a small roach cooked into one of the beans in my plate! I called the restaurant and they insisted it was impossible but that thing was cooked! read more

Fritanga 505 - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Miami, Florida

I just realized I haven't written a review for this place and I've come here a few times already! One of my favorite fritanga places in Miami. It's close to FIU campus so drive over for a quick and filling lunch to go. For a great price, it's like you're paying for 2 meals. It's more of a to go restaurant since there's only like 2-3 small 2 seater tables inside. Parking can be very limited since it's in a very small plaza. The staff is friendly and I'm always greeted with a smile. I always get the Carne Asada with Maduros and rice/beans. Don't forget their side of their cabbage slaw! The acidity from the slaw balances nicely with the heaviness of the meal. Everything is flavorful and the meat is tender. Gotta get a side of their hot sauce too! Before I left for my clinical rotation outside of SoFlo, I knew I had to stop by here one more time because it'll be awhile for the next time I have some good fritanga food again. Go check this place out and you won't be disappointed! read more

I've eaten at a lot from different Fritangas in Miami. Although there are many authentic Nicaraguan spots in Miami, this one by far is fire! The gallo pinto was on point and the meat was tender and tasty. read more

Hidden in Sweetwater close to FIU you can find this Nicaraguan Fritanga place that really caught me by surprise. Don't be fooled by the looks of this place, the Nica ladies who run this spot provide amazing food and were super nice. It looks like a to go spot when you come in but you can eat the food there. As in a lot of Latin places most the food is already prepared for you & on display for you to choose what you want. The servings are generous and the prices are as cheap as it gets. I had your typical Nica combo. Carne Asada ( Grillled Beef Strips) ; Gallo Pinto ( Rice & Red Beans ) ; Ensalada Repollo ( a vinagre coleslaw ) ; Tajadas ( plantains like Tostones but more like long chips ) and may favorite part the Queso Frito ( a fried Cheese ). The carne asada beef had to be the most juiciest tender pieces of meat I've ever had at any Nica restaurant. The Gallo pinto was fire. If your ever in that neighborhood you should really try out the food here. read more

it's been hard finding a good fritanga lately, this place really hit the spot. Went in at around 8pm and the food was so fresh and delicious. I usually am not a fan of gallo pinto because it can be dry, but this one was perfect! The fried cheese pieces are HUUUGE ! This will be my go to spot when craving nica food. read more

Just got two plates, one was cerdo asado (charbroiled pork strips) and the other was pollo al caldillo (kinda like chicken stew) , the pork was way over cooked and burnt in some parts. It comes with Gallo Pinto which was bland, fried plantains strips which were oily and dark like the oil needed to be changed before frying, also traditional Nica cole slaw which was good. The worst part was the price 14.00 dollars for Fritanga food. Out of curiosity I called Monimbo Fritanga and their price was 10.17 (actual price I was quoted over the phone). Don't really know how the chicken was as that was for a family member I don't live with and didn't ask them, but that was also 14.00 and basically same sides. The price at Monimbo was also 10.17 for that plate. I will never go back to Fritanga 505, plus the lady that served me was very upset that I asked not to be given any burnt pork, so that didn't help.... read more

This was my friend's and I's first time trying Nicaraguan food or any Fritanga place and we vowed to come back. It's basically two meals worth of amazing food for only $9. I asked the lady at the counter what she recommended and immediately she said the carne asada. After my first bite of it I quickly realized why, it was DELICIOUS! So I got that obviously, with some mixed rice and beans (don't remember the name), plantains, pico de gallo, and fried cheese. Everything tasted great and again, this most likely will last you two meals! It's a small place but has seating if you want to eat inside. If you haven't tried Nicaraguan food yet, come to this place!! read more

Let me start by saying I am not Nicaraguan however I do speak Spanish but every time I have come to this location someone is available that speaks English. If you are accustomed to eating in any Fritanga the service is always the same this location is no different they treat you the same as everyone else. The food is always fresh and if they're at the end of the tray they're happy to bring out a fresh made item for your order. This is a no-frills mom-and-pop restaurant where the grandmother prepares a lot of the dishes and the grandkids work the counter so you know you're helping a local family when you eat here! The best part is that after all the Nica places I've eaten in Miami I have to say that they have the largest portions and the best tasting food and juices around !! read more

Fairly large portions you can easily share with a loved one. Try the carne asada with gallo pinto (rice and beans) and maduros (fried yellow, sweet plantains! Add a slice of fried cheese if you're feeling naughty and aren't counting calories, it's SO worth it! The raspados are a nice refreshing ultra sweet treat on a hot day! They're basically shaved ice with different flavors. Try the caramel one it is delicious! Pick up some cuajada (very moist cheese) and tortillas to satisfy a Nica craving at home! read more

Everytime I am in Miami for work, my first craving for food is Nicaraguan. I am so glad I was able to stumble upon this restaurant. Let me just say that from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with a smile and immediate attention. The server explained to me the menu and how everything worked. I had carne asada, gallo pinto, maduros fritos y ensalada de repollo. OH MY GOD! The food is off the chain, on point, fire, off the hizzy..whatever you want to call it, it's it! I wish this restaurant was so much closer to home because I would eat there every SINGLE day. Thank you for the welcoming hospitality and the excellent food. If you are in the area, make sure to stop by. You will not regret it. read more

I really liked the food here it was fresh and given in big portions! So much food it's enough for two. Second I loved the respados which really have a good taste as well. Third I love the prices because it's reasonable and your getting your money's worth! I honestly have nothing bad to say, good staff, good natural drinks, and it gives you a homey feel to it. Especially if you want to know a little more about Latin America and their culture of good then you should come HERE! Hands down best nica food I have ever had! I had gallo pinto (rice and beans) with carne asada and platano Maduro (plantains) and queso frito (fried cheese) with a famous drink here called "cacao" it's kinda like chocolate but better! read more

Whether you're Nica or not, you NEED To try this place. Prices are great They cook and serve you like if they were your mom. The place is small, so it's better to order to go but you can also eat inside of you wanna feel in 1990's Nicaragua. read more

This is by far my favorite Fritanga! The cerdo asado and their nacatamales are the two things I eat here most. My family loves their chicharrones. The price is definitely very competitive and their food is as fresh as can be. read more

If you're ever in Miami - and interested in no frills Nicaraguan or Central American food - I HIGHLY recommend this place. Especially meet Julian, their amazing food ambassador! He was very friendly and took the time to patiently explain and help me pick vegetarian options, something that's not easy with this cuisine. We stopped by here during our vacation to Miami and ended up eating our weight in Nicaraguan food -- and at a minimal price! We ordered: gallo pinto, chicken jalapeno, guiso de zucchini, quesillo, some potato and cheese delicacy (can't remember the name), pico de gallo, and maduros. Also drank cacao on the side. Everything was delicious, and our food lasted us a whole 3 meals! I even went back to get my favorite Presto Coffee. Again, I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Food was amazing and the amount of food you receive it's a lot so if you are not that hungry... share and the repochetas are a must they have so much cheese it's delicious read more

Best fritanga In town! Every time I come here they have delicious food and a great customer service! Unlike the young lady below, I always get treated well and I don't speak Spanish well nor am I Nicaraguan so I don't know what she's talking about. I've even seen them cleaning the restaurant in front of me. Must try! They even put aside the last order of chicken jalapeño (which I love ! They make it the best and I've tried it in other places) for me when I called last night (thank you young lady in the cashier ! ) read more

Fritanga 505 - Chicken jalapeño (THE BEST IN TOWN) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place has amazing Nicaraguan food. I always get the rice steak and plantains and they give so much I split it into 2 meals. They have so much other options like chicken and other types of meats with other flavorings that I'm too stupid to remember. Go check it out for yourself because as soon as you walk in you can tell they know what they're doing with the beautiful aroma in the restaurant. Usually has no line and the food is already made so you'll be in and out with great food. read more

This place is just like a food court at the mall. If you order a combo, it comes with plenty of food. I've eaten here twice. The first time I ordered was a combo with rice, plantains and ham. And the second time i got the same stuff but with steak. There were a lot of food like seriously A WHOLE LOT. The food tasted fine both times. Loved the fried plantains. There are other options at this place to. They also offer sandwiches, different kinds of drinks an so many other dishes! read more

This is hands down my favorite spot to get some authentic Nica food! Not only are they generous with tHe portions but the price is very affordable. I've tried many Nica spots here in Miami but after eating here once... I've never had to go anywhere else! Great spot to eat some amazing food! They are family owned and run, if you haven't stopped by... do it! I promise you won't regret it!! read more

They messed up my order, delivered and then closed...wow yelp and this store is top notch! Thanks for the reimbursement for the two missing plates. Guess its only one out of three of us eating tonight! Why would you even deliver one meal out of three in the first place..? beginning to think it was scrap food before closing. At aw...would of had more respect if they would of cancelled. read more

This is my favorite Nicaragua food restaurant, don't expect nothing fancy. This place don't have to much tables and lady's most of the time looks upset but that seems to be normal in Nicaraguans restaurants. the food is amazing and affordable don't miss this place if you are in this area read more

I gave this place another try but yet same service like you guys I don't know how yal still open. This time around I saw a roach on the floor I made sure to take a picture to send it to the food inspector. Like I told the lady she said it was a fly clearly no its not a fly women. I walk to the food area to be a tended nope they skip me like always because my Spanish suck. Like no wonder yal only stick towards yal type of people and make people feel not welcome. Cleanses is not on point always dirty every time I go. read more

I had a birthday party of 16 to feed. First time ordering from Fritanga 505 but I had a recommendation from a friend. We had the carne asada, gallo pinto, maduros, fried cheese, cabbage slaw. Our family from the party was complementing the food and asking where we bought it. The amount of food for the price was excellent. The food itself was wonderful. I've had fritanga from different places and this one is the best. Thank you! read more

Staff is friendly an bilingual. Food is great got their carne Asada platter and is was so much I couldn't finish it. Overall for what I received and paid for the price was great. Great restaurant to eat healthy on the go read more

I have been in this place and the food it's good but the seem to only accept cash, the internet line which they say it's the problem every other day it's broken the Funny thing is they do dispatch orders online but walkings needs to pay cash, it's so sad that I need to go to a atm or another fritanga since who carries cash any more but it seems they need the cash and walkings need to take cash they do not take credit cards or at least they do at random cause I had a friend go after me and they did accept credit cards to him so you figure, it's a smart way to get cash the food it's good but be prepared to take cash, or go to another fritanga near by or we'll order online read more
