    Line wraps around!!!
    Myrna R.

    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!

    What in the Latin America is going here?!?! Idk but the food is so damn good you would swear Abuela cooked it . I didn't understand a hot damn word but who needs to understand when all you gotta do is point. From the looks of it everything looks crazy like a mad house !! Freaking pandemonium everywhere! That should have been the first give away that the food taste so damn good! The line was soooooooo packed no place to park OMG it was a mad house and a mad house for a very good damn reason!! This place gives life to the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover".If you love Latin food you gotta try this place! And be prepared to wait! And if you don't speak Spanish, google translate gone be your best friend. I hope ICE never finds them Gem , this lil whole in the wall. as the Latin ppl say DALE!!

    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.

    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.

    Servings are huge and delicious

    Amazing service and the food was delicious. Totally recommended if you are into Nicaraguan food.

    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.

    Food so good, makes u flirt with the lady serving you. Fast service, great staff. This is Truly a must try place When in the Miami area

    Carne Asada, Gallo Pinto, Fried Cheese

    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.

    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.

    One of the best fritangas in Miami! Small parking lot. Good amount of seating inside though! Service is pretty fast and accurate! Food is always on point and tastes amazing and never disappoints!

    Really good carne asada but the line takes an hour even with full staff moving fast. Will definitely order online next time. Ok cacao but great food. Would recommend if in the area

    Pretty bussin steak with rice that I got from here. Grilled excellently and the white rice still packed a lot of flavor.

    We had a very good lunch at Madrono restaurant. It's a very nice looking space with table clothes…read moreand well-dressed servers who were eager to please and serve. We started with melon and dragonfruit drinks which were like aguas frescas. For starters we tried the Taquitos and Chancho con Yucca and they were excellent. The pork tenderloin chunks in the Chancho were done well and had a tasty coating of spices. We loved the chopped cabbage. We also liked the pulled beef in the Taquitos. The fried beans were creamy and delicious. In fact, everything on our plates was delicious! For mains, we had the Fajitas de Carne and Lengua en Salsa. Both were very good. I haven't had a tamale in a while so I decided to try the Indio Maiz; the sweet corn was good as was the sour cream and soft cheese. Yum. I really enjoyed Maranos. I may have been the only gringo in the place :).

    When you walk inside the ambiance is elegant yet casual. We ordered the churrasco and fried cheese…read more(queso frito). The portions were good in comparison to Los Ranchos and the steak was extremely flavorful and soft. They also have a selection of sauces for the steak or your meal. The service was great. Our only complaint was that they served canned beverages. If you are somebody that drinks a lot of soda, the bill can quickly get expensive. We love Nicaraguan food and frequently dine at other places but this restaurant by far is the best. The wait can be long on the weekends with larger parties so just be aware of that.

This particular trip was special because I took my hubby with my group of college friends and we sat in the restaurant. I had no clue the inside decor was western themed, and it was equal parts random and perfect for the chaos outside in the take out area. Most people seem to go the take out option from the cafeteria window, surrounded by coin operated games and gumball machines. They have a huge menu but the carne asada is the best thing on the menu hands down. Service is quick, but like most dive places in Miami, you're not in it for the chatty waitresses, just the sitting and taking up space over beers for 3 hours with your buds.

    This is a great Nicaraguan spot to go to late at night if you're hungry. I went at around 10 pm and…read moretried to get a Quesillo but unfortunately they ran out. Instead I ordered a carne asada which is just steak, as well as rice and fried cheese. The entire plate was $20, which is great for the amount of food you get. I also ordered a cacao which is like a chocolate milk made with real cacao. The only downside was how long it took to get my drink, you have to go to a separate window to order drinks or dessert. There was 2 people in front of me and it took an extended amount of time to get just 1 drink and a sweet treat. It was obviously worth it but a bit inconvenient. Anyways, you should definitely check this spot out for authentic Nicaraguan cuisine.
