"Completa" of carne Asada (Churrasco), Gallo pinto, sweet plantains and pasta salad
Sergio F.

I'd seen this spot during my commute from work. So merited by one of my humorous cow field checkins and the fact that I'm a carnivore I decided to stop in for a quick bite. Located in a strip mall right on W 68 St (NW 122 St) with a tattoo shop & frozen yogurt spot, there's plenty of parking. It's a cozy space, with a few small tables close to the windows opposite the service counter where they have various traditional Latin cuisine sides. Think tostones, sweet plantains & YUGE trays of gallo pinto (red beans & rice). When I went they also had pasta salad (pretty good actually!) I was told they do make / heat the meat main course as ordered, and I ordered their Carne Asada (Nicaraguan version of churrasco). My order had a little more pink than I would have preferred (medium well) but otherwise pretty juicy and tasty. I also did have to ask for chimichurri, since none was served on the meat. The largest bulk of the order (simple economics) was their gallo pinto which was actually pretty good, not dry at all and with a decent helping of beans. Prices were pretty fair (though I could have appreciated a larger serving of meat). Although I do have my favorite restaurant for home-style cooking in the area, I'd try this place again.

Keeping the faith.

It's been years since I had fritanga. For Latin Americans, fritanga can be a dish of various fried foods, but it is also referred to home-style Nicaraguan food served cafeteria style; to eat in or to-go. Fritanga Ango-nica (Angola-Nicaragua) in Hialeah Gardens "is not" a dive nor a hole in the wall. It's small, yes; but clean, well put together and inviting. They have a decent sized area for outdoor seating, but on a scorching Summer Sunday in August, we stayed indoors. The food is what you would expect from an amazing Nicaraguan well prepared and presented, non-greasy, home-cooked plentiful meal. We were served by Mayra who was attentive and pleasing. It was quite the spread of surf and turf choices. They offer, beef, pork, chicken, and fish. I wanted EVERYTHING, but minimally elected the gallo pinto (seasoned white rice/red bean blend), ropa vieja (saucy shredded beef) maduros (fried sweet plantains), and carrots that were curtido style (sort of pickled), flash-steamed to keep crunchy and preserve all the nutrients. I also added a quarter of an avocado. The gallo pinto was just right--not dry, not too much water in the cooking process. That's my favorite recipe for rice. Some tend to add just a tad more water for an oatmeal consistency, but NO! ;P Others add less water to make it drier/grainier, but the cook here got it right! The ropa vieja was also "al punto". The beef was tender and mouth watering satisfying. My family ordered other equally scrumptious dishes that I won't go into, but you can view the photos. They have assorted drinks, including Perrier water (in a can). This place is a diamond in the ruff for sure and I will return!

this place is one of MANY fritangas in the area. If you've never been to a fritanga, let me tell you what it is. A fritanga is a Nicaraguan restaurant, I visited Nicaragua once and there what happens is that housewives set up a cooktop outside of their house every evening and sell carne asada with gallo pinto and queso frito. Fritanga Angonica is trying something a little different fromt he other fritangas in this area. They have a modern look which the rest are lacking. They also have a lot more vegetable choices that most fritangas do. I also found their food to be way fresher and that is why I do not mind paying a little more for food here. Usually i get a carne asada plate for $6.25 at most fritangas, but her it cost me $8. We did a taste test with my husband, he ordered a meal from our regular fritanga and I ordered it from Fritanga Angonica and we tasted both dishes and each time, hands down, Fritanga Angonica won :) I hope they keep up the quality. I only visit miami 3 times a year and I will be doing a follow up review next time I'm in town. In the meantime check out the pictures I posted on my last visit.

Small fritanga spot in Hialeah. Parking is available all around the plaza. I've been to other fritanga restaurants and this location didn't have many different food items to choose from maybe they ran out of food? Either way I hope they expand their food selections. I got the carne asada with morro and a salad. The food was bland, didn't really have a distinct taste. I ate inside the restaurant which has a few small tables inside. For a quick bite that's better than fast food this a good spot. Prices for the food are reasonable so that's a plus for this location.

Needs some fixing. Ordered Carne Asada with their Gallo Pinto Rice. Their tacos where made with a thick tortilla then fried-- hence why is was hard rock and once you bite, you slide with all the filling out. Not typical Nicaraguan Tacos as expected from my childhood ( not even close) but it all right for the cravings.

Carne asada and gallo pinto from hell.

The cacao in this "modern fritanga" is nothing like what a real cacao tastes like, tastes more like Nesquik.
