Miami, Miami, Miami. Every time I come to your town the food scene never lets me down. Found out about this place years ago but never was able to make it to the restaurant. When you walk in the restaurant is very clean but it's very busy so pack your time and patients the line moves very fast so that's a plus. When you go there just know that English is spoken very little so learn how to order your food In Spanish it's shows that you at least tried and they very gracious that you tried. Now to the food very delicious and well season I was a little disappointed at how much meat they gave but that was my eye being bigger than my stomach. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Miami. read more

We had never tried Nicaraguan food before, but had heard about it from a friend while visiting Miami. He recommended a couple of places but we decided this was the closest to us and so we came here. At first glance it doesn't look very appealing from the outside but once you go inside you know your are in the right place.It was packed with people picking up to go orders and on the other side of the place was a huge line of people waiting to order. The line moves pretty fast .We didn't know what to order so we asked the gentleman in front of us what he normally gets. He told us a few of his favorites and so we sort of knew what to get. So you get to the front of the line and it's sort of like Panda Express you tell them what you want from the food in the containers. I chose gallo pinto which is rice and beans mixed together and also got fried pork which sort of tasted like Al pastor and I also got something that is similar to ropa vieja. My husband got the black beans and carne asada with a tortilla. Oh and they have queso frito which we both had .I also got fried plantains and we ordered a manuelita which is like a pancake with something sweet it tastes like pancake with lots of syrup, but not overly sweet. One of the workers came to or table and brought us something that was round almost like a small donut hole. Except it was dough and not to sweet . She said she didn't want us to leave without trying it. I am so happy that we got out of our comfort zone and decided to come and try this food. It was so good. Oh I almost forgot that they also serve you a salad not really a salad it's cabbage and carrots in a vinegar sauce. ( sort of the cabbage that goes on top of Pupusas) and they also have us a sauce which was not that spicy at all but it ha little pieces of diced carrots ana onion . I won't lie that I came home and started to look for Nicaraguan food places in my city. Because it was so good. read more

Expect a VERY long line every time BUT these ladies work really fast and most importantly worth every bite! It does not get more authentic than this. An incredible amount of energy as you step in, everyone finding their way in the door and finding their spot in line. No matter what you order here it's finger licking GOOD. Portions a huge and prices are reasonably good! Once you get to the front of the line, you need to be READY, these ladies don't play, they're kind but with a purpose, to get through as many people fast. It's a casual but fun dining experience! The parking is a challenge. You def need to be patient on that one. Hands down the best fritanga in Miami! read more

Ordené una orden de carne asada y alcanzó mis expectativas. El lugar no tiene el mejor ambiente porque siempre hay una fila larga tanto para pagar como para ordenar y las mesas no siempre están limpias, pero en términos de comida y bebidas hacen un excelente trabajo. El servicio es muy amable por parte de todas las mujeres que están armando el plato. Recomiendo el lugar para personas que quieran probar comida Nicaragüense auténtica. read more

Fritanga Cana Brava - Carne Asada - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

the best fritanga in miami. Carne asada gallo pinto queso frito and maduros. made right to order almost every time i go. And the staff is super sweet and attentive. read more

Caña Brava is by far my favorite fritanga in Miami and I don't think I'm the only one that thinks that, as it's always full but welcoming. The attention you get from the staff here is always great. They're patient with you no matter how big your order is. I always get an order of enchilada, manuelita and carne asada. The enchilada they make here has been my favorite enchilada I've tried. It consist of rice and meat and it's very filling. The manuelita is like a sweet pancake with brown sugar. It is very delicious. I usually save this for breakfast for the following day. The carne asada meal is big and tasty. You can easily eat this meal for two days or share it with someone. I order the carne asada with gallopinto, maduro, queso frito and salad. The meat is very juicy, the gallopinto is very tasty, and the maduro with queso frito is a perfect pair. The coleslaw salad is also very good. Whenever someone tells me they want to have fritanga, I always suggest this place or bring them here. This will continue to be my go to fritanga. read more

Crazy, crazy and more crazy! Was the line of people there for some food. But the most impressive thing was the food was steaming hot, delicious and large portions. Parking is definitely annoying but that's a result of the amount of people that buy food there and the quality product they are making. Highly recommend you take your food to go because seating is a little uncomfortable due to the amount of people waiting in line. The "carne asada" is delicious, probably the best I've had in Miami. Meat was on point. The fried pork was also very good and juicy. Fried cheese was excellent. And the rice is in a league of its own. Listen place is not beautiful, and the lines are long! But the food makes you forget about that. read more

The best Nicaraguan restaurant fritanga I visited every time I am in the area is the place to go I try from soups,carne asada, they have every Nicaraguan dish there is flavor is Just right the place every time I go is packed for me been from Nicaragua this is my place from home read more

Every time I go they always forget my fried plantains to be added to the bag. The food was cold this time and a long wait for the food. Then the steak was small and mostly fat. Definitely not prime cut. Not only did she forget my bag which should not have trusted that she added it. She gave some other guy my credit card. Which I had to grab it back. read more

Carne Asada is phenomenal and the fried cheese is so good! The Gallo pinto is amazing too!

This place is a gem for authentic Nicaraguan food! Everything I tried was super fresh and packed with flavors you crave when you're in the mood for some real Nica cuisine. The line was pretty long when I got there, but honestly, that just shows how popular this spot is and it was totally worth the wait. Just a heads up, though: parking is limited, so plan accordingly. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the gallo pinto and fried plantains, every bite hit the spot. The flavors are vibrant, and the portions are very generous. Do keep in mind this is a very casual spot so by no means fancy but completely worth it. If you're looking for some top-notch Nicaraguan grub, this place is a must-try! read more

I was a bit hesitant due to the drive to come here. But I have to say it's well worth the drive and waiting inside. It's a somewhat small location and parking is a little challenging from how packed the place gets. Service takes a little long due to the demand from the area and also online orders. Once your attended your order is completed fast. However, you do have the owner running the register and that slows the process down. Once you get your food though, I can say the flavors of homemade Nicaraguan food are packed in the food. Makes me yell Viva Nicaragua. Everything was on point, not overly seasoned or salty. The rice was balanced with beans and wasn't mushy. The cheese was not great and didn't taste like your eating a block of fried salt, it was crispy and a good size amount. The green plantains were not stale, as I've dealt with in other Nicaraguan places, they taste fresh and were crispy. The kicker was the meat, full of flavor and not chewy or burnt, you get 2 big slices and it's a meal big enough for 2, depending in how hungry you are. The tacos were ok, not that crunchy and I wasn't expecting chicken. Not something I would order again personally. The Cacao was on point, not overly sweet and blended well.. it's wasn't pure ice and just a small amount of drink which was great. I would definitely come back and eat here again. Inside has a good amount of tables to sit down and eat, and the ambiance makes you feel like your in the motherland. read more

Really good fritanga! This place does get packed, especially on the weekend. Parking is limited, and it does fill up quickly. The staff is friendly enough and the restaurant is very clean. My only complaint is that they don't give you receipts, so you don't know how much you're being charged. Kinda weird. read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mother since she doesn't have a yelp account. My mother has noticed a few times the math doesn't add up. It doesn't help that they don't provide a receipt for her to keep. Last time she went she noticed her change was short for .74 so she ended up calling the restaurant. The employee who answered told her they don't keep coins (weird) so they always round up the change (even weirder). Regardless of the small amount is wrong that they have done this to her more than once and without her consent. It only makes her wonder if they have done it to many more people. Needless to say she won't be trusting these people with her change anymore. read more

If you from Miami or in the Miami/ little Havana area and want to try some good hearty fulfilling Nicaraguan food this is hands down the place to be. Parking is limited and the lines are long but it is so worth every cent and time! I also get the typical Nicaraguan platter of carne asada, queso frito, maduros y Moro ( grilled skirt steak, fried cheese, sweet plantains, black beans mixed with rice) oh, and you can't forget the side, plastic bag of cabbage salad, and the tiny cups of carrot/onion salsa! Must try you won't be disappointed. They have other options to like grilled chicken breast, ropa vieja, pork stew. read more

I was there a few days ago in October, the food besides being greasy was so expensive, their location is very nice, simple but by no means is a 5 star restaurant. It was just my husband and I, the Maracuya drink has so much sugar that I could not drink it, ordered a large one but left it all behind. The gallopinto was greasy, and the carne asada has way too much salt. The bill for 2 was over $50, first and last time I go there and its sad cause the prices are just way too much for what they serve. Not worth it. read more

Fritanga Cana Brava is popular spot in Miami for fritanga/traditional Nicaraguan food in Miami. General comments: Carne Asada / Grilled Steak - better than the cerdo Cerdo Asado - get the hot (vinegarly) sauce Both served with two sides of your choice. Don't get the yucca, it's a bit bland. Rice counts as a side Chicharon - super hard, teeth breaking and pretty salty. It's possibly old or just overdone. There's a reason no one gets this Queso Frito / Fried Cheese - great, but a bit salty. Also extra Chia Con Limon / Chia With Lime - recommended Maracuya / Passion Fruit - sweet, juice, not special Tamales - not on the menu, but pretty good, very soft They offered to serve us separately from the other line. Not all staff can speak English. The line is long, service is a bit slow. I didn't like how there's no menu or pricing. I'm not sure if I was overcharged since I look different than their normal customers. But all the food pictured for $40. read more

If I can put zero stars I would!! This place was super packed and busy, the lady that attended me was super disrespectful. I wanted to know my options for what meat to eat. The lady at no moment had no patience to answer my question. She even called me Cuban and kept whispering to her other coworkers talking crap. I'm sorry but if I'm the customer I shouldn't be treated like this for wanting to know what type of meat they have. They need to learn to have more patience's and respect for customers!!! read more

Best fritanga in town. The meat was tender and flavorful. Galllo pinto and queso frito were great too. Also, reasonably priced.

My favorite place for Nicaraguan food in Miami. Best carne asada in my opinion. To be honest, I've never had anything other than carne asada. It gets super busy and there is always a line so be prepared to wait. You can order ahead of time...you can call or I believe order online as well. It's very casual. Tables can be difficult come by and definitely gets crowded, but the food is delicious, portions are big and price is right. read more

Yesterday was the second time they failed to fulfill my order. The first one I've ordered carne asada with gallo pinto and when I've got home, my service only had the gallo pinto. And yesterday I've ordered carne asada with gallo pinto and green plantains slices, this time they didn't include my plantains. I didn't went back to complain because once I've got home I didn't wanted get out again. They should have someone to supervise the online orders!! read more

I am addicted to Fritangas!! I really love the Nicaraguan food at this place! It's always super delicious. But you know, the service from the employees could be better, especially when the place gets crowded. The vibe inside isn't my favorite, even though the food is great. However you can grab a big plate of steak, pork, carne asada, or chicken for less than $13! It's a solid deal for a meal that fills you up just right. My usual order is the carne asada, with rice and beans and a side of salad. The rice tastes awesome every time, and the beef is tender and seasoned perfectly every time. It's one of my go-to spot for a yummy and satisfying meal. read more

The absolute best hole in the wall nicaraguan street food spot to ever exist. The variety alone makes it a top contender since most fritanga places only carry carne asada. The sides are also just as good as the meats and you really cant find that elsewhere. Nothing on the platter lacks by any means. You know its good when not a lick of english is being spoken and the line is to the door. I make the drive from palm beach just to get my hands on it and i will continue to do so as long as i live in florida! read more

Came in on a Thursday at 7:30pm and the line took about 30 minutes to get through. The place might not look like it's open from the outside, but it was poppin on the inside. You have your choice of grains, meat, and side with optional additional sides for an extra $1-$2. This carne asada plate came out to $14. This spot also sells a variety of desserts and drinks, but I didn't get any this time. I'm interested in trying their frozen desserts next time. read more

The staff is friendly when they're not running back and forth.
