The staff was super friendly and even though they said it was going to be a twenty minute wait, it was less than 5! The drinks and bread for the table were brought very quickly and the waiter was on point the entire service. I got a ropa vieja style dinner and it cane with more than enough food that I had leftovers for a couple days! The rice and beans were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender beyond belief. If it had bones, it would've fallen off the second I lifted it into the air! The place wa super clean and very spacious. There were many tables but they were far enough apart that I had room to breathe and walk around when I had to run to the bathroom. Some amazing prices and phenomenal food! I'll definitely take a drive back down this way again for this food on the future!

I've visited Kendall Grille three times -- August 14th, September 9th, and most recently September…read more19th -- and after trying several different dishes, I can honestly say that I've had an excellent experience every single time. What I've loved the most is the quality, flavor, and freshness of the food. You can truly tell when food is freshly prepared and made with care. I've tried both the grilled steak and pork, with different combinations. One of my favorites has been either beef or pork served with chicken fried rice and fried cheese. Absolutely delicious! I also wanted to try something a little lighter, so I ordered the grilled steak with cooked squash and fried yuca, and the yuca really impressed me. It doesn't have the taste or texture of the frozen yuca that many places serve. I was told that they prepare the yuca themselves before frying it, and you can definitely taste the difference. I've also tried several of their fresh drinks, including passion fruit, mango, and cacao with milk. They all have such a delicious flavor, and something I personally really appreciate is that the sweetness is just right -- not overly sweet and not bland. Perfectly balanced for my taste. The salad, hot sauce, and chimichurri are also delicious. Overall, one thing that has stood out to me during all three visits is how fresh and freshly made everything tastes. The seasoning is very well balanced, and both the salt in the food and the sweetness of the drinks are just right. But I definitely want to give a VERY special mention to Mr. Juan Manuel. His service deserves a 1000%! From the way he welcomes and treats customers to how attentive he is throughout the entire experience, he has been incredibly kind, respectful, dedicated, professional, and attentive to every detail. He is one of those people who doesn't simply take your order and serve your food -- he genuinely makes you feel welcome and well taken care of. Great food makes you want to come back, but when it's combined with such exceptional service, the entire experience becomes even more memorable. Thank you so much, Juan Manuel, for your wonderful service and for treating customers with such kindness and dedication. Lastly, I was told that they also have a rewards points system. Every time you make a purchase and enter your phone number, you accumulate points, and once you reach 100 points, you receive a gift. I think that's such a nice touch for their regular customers. After three visits and trying several different dishes, Kendall Grille has definitely earned my . Delicious Nicaraguan food, fresh ingredients, great flavors, and excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back to try even more from the menu!

Yall. This place HITS. WOW. I'm so happy there's an amazing fritanga like this in my neighborhood…read more It's family owned and you get that vibe when you come in. All the food we had was phenomenal and I honestly felt like I was back in Nicaragua. The lengua en salsa was phenomenal and so was the nacatamal. The tajadas were fresh and the chilero was delicious. We even tried their arroz con pollo, taquitos and a nicaragüense enchilada. You know we couldn't leave without having their cacao, cebada & tres leches either. I'm stuffed, sleepy and oh so happy. Definitely going to be back soon. Quick note! Some items on the menu aren't made every day, we got lucky we came in today and they had the lengua. Call ahead if there is a dish you want. And if it's not there, still go! They have so many other options to choose from, you won't leave upset.

It's located in the same plaza as AT&T in North Miami, and it's absolutely worth it. I pretty much order the same thing every time, and the steak is so good you don't even need the chimichurri sauce they give you (and that's saying a lot). I also tried the carrot and orange juice, and it was unbelievably amazing--fresh, refreshing, and the perfect addition to the meal. This is actually one of my go-to spots when I'm in a hurry and need to grab lunch to take back to the office. Just a heads up--there isn't much seating inside, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go kind of place. If you're nearby and craving something satisfying, this spot is a must-try!

My husband and I both ordered the Presidente steak, and unfortunately, neither of us was pleased. The steaks lacked flavor, and mine was overcooked. I ended up taking it home instead. We also ordered the tostones nica, which we enjoyed, but the experience was affected by the wait time. It took about 20 minutes to receive them, and we felt they would've been much better if served fresh and promptly. I do want to highlight that the kitchen did a great job packing our food to go--everything was organized as if it were a full takeout order, including all the sides, which I really appreciated. I also liked that there was no wait time to be seated. Overall, not the experience I remember, but I hope it was just an off day.

They can be very short with the customers. But guess what.. I don't care cuz the food is honestly that good!! I don't know how they make the carne asada but it's the best!! I introduced my Mexican husband to this place when we moved here and now he needs to eat here at least once a month. Pro tip: ask for extra meat on the plate and you can definitely share between two people. They give you a lot of rice and plantains. So there is usually leftovers. Another tip: Use the vinegar they give you for extra flavor on the meat or buy a side of chimichuri.. definitely worth the extra $$. I recently had their arroz con pollo and wow that was delicious as well. They have daily soup specials so check those out too.

Pinolandia is a South Florida staple…read more This is a chain Nicaraguan restaurant and this location; like all the others, is located in a shopping center with other restaurants right off of University & Pines Blvd. We did not have to wait long because we arrived at a good time, but everyone was waiting for their carne asada to be freshly prepared. I stopped by here with my cousin and her friend and we all ordered the same meal. Carne asada (steak), rice & beans, fried cheese & maduros (sweet plantains). I also ordered an extra cheese to eat with the rest of my food because I had so much left over and a large freshly squeezed passionfruit juice. My cousin's friend ordered a chia and tamarind juice which was also delicious. The staff here were nice. This restaurant is very casual and the food is served behind a counter similar to Cava and Chipotle but there is not much seating available so the restaurant gets pretty full. I would recommend ordering the food to go if you're not in a rush. Overall a good experience and I will definitely be back to Pinolandia

It was a Monday afternoon, so let's start there: - The welcome was somewhat lukewarm; the staff member cleaning in the back didn't greet us when she saw us, which would have been nice. - I ordered the lengua (tongue stew). It was cooked perfectly, but it was only lukewarm to my preference. Overall, the taste was good. - The tajadas and mariquitas weren't crunchy--they were soggy. - My wife ordered carne asada and asked for it well done, but it arrived medium. Maybe in a Nicaraguan restaurant, temperature isn't a big deal--"just eat it," as they say! Decor it's pretty simple with touch of Nicaragua culture.
