Decor
Rick G.

First time visiting here, and I decided to give it a shot despite hearing mixed feedback. I want to share my experience. 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. I encourage you to try it out, but don't expect Miami Pinolandia. Support Hispanic restaurants! Thank you!"

Fritangon Nica is a great spot to order traditional Niceraguan food. You can get a large platter with so many combinations like pico de gallo (rice and beans), beef, chicken, or pork, and sides like sweet plantains and fried cheese. If you get a platter with meat, they will cook the meat in front of you. Everything always tastes so fresh, which is worth the little wait. This is a small spot but perfect for a satisfying, almost home cooked meal.

The Carne Asada
Julie C.

So I was driving in the area looking for something else and out of nowhere. I see this the food from my country Nicaragua so I decided to come in the ladies were very nice and helpful so I decided to get the typical plate, the carne Asada, rice and beans and they make your Carne Asada at the moment that you order it, the place is very clean. The food looked awesome. When I received my food I was super happy with it. The taste was awesome and maybe if I'll be in the area I'll be back.

Nicaraguan Beer

This establishment does it right! Great food and it is authentic. Nice selection of import beers and sodas. The staff is nice. There is a little language barrier, but the ladies worked with me and we got my order in. Everything went s prepared with a love of food that their culture is known for. If you love Nicaraguan food, cooked home style, you must stop in and experience this place for yourself!

Inside Nicaraguan Style Tamale
Anita M.

First time trying Nicaraguan food. I really want to see what their style of tamales is so I got it. Warning: this is steaming hot! They make it when you order it. It's wrapped in foil and it's very hot to touch it! I still had it wrapped right after 10-15 mins and it was still very hot. There was still steam inside. I got spicy version. There is a kick but it's not super spicy. It's definitely a good portion of tamale. It's very seasoned and tasty. There's rice inside and I did find one small meat bone but that's a okay. The meat is very tender and not tough. There are some peppers and seeds inside but it's not super spicy. Btw I can handle medium spicy. My friend got carne asada and she said it's good. It smells good too. When I come back, I'll try other items on the menu. But I definitely get tamale again!

Drinks galore

I'm from Nicaragua so I love fritanga! This place is legit. Food is delicious and authentic. Main thing is that the prices are on the higher end side (not typical "fritanga" prices). For example, the carne asada was $16 and the fried cheese was $4. I also got a Pío quinto which was $7....and then I gave a tip so my whole meal was $30

It was exciting to see a Fritanga on Sterling Road in the plaza where Brother's Farmers market is located. When I stopped by, they were having their soft opening. The place was clean and well organized. I ordered Carne asada. It came with rice and beans. I had a choice of sweet plantains of fried plantain chips. The meat was cooked to order which was nice. There were many other options in the case to choose from. I saw huge Nacatamals which I will have to try next time. The meat was cooked just right and had excellent flavor. The rice and beans were lacking a bit. The plantains were cooked just right. The cabbage slaw that comes with the dish was finely sliced and all balanced. I would definitely stop here again in the future. It's nice to see a Fritanga in the area. The service was good and I liked how clean everything was.

$10 for cacao? much rather get a beer.
Milton M.

No bueno! Gallo pinto was hard and the chancho was salty and NOT tender. Hard as a rock, dry, and looks like they had the chancho from 3 days ago. NO AC, it was better to eat outside than inside. Food was expensive too. I much rather go to Pinolandia or Yambo. Avoid this place.

My friend invited me to lunch at El G. I'd never been. What a treat!…read moreA blink and you'll miss it cozy little restaurant, I was smittened by its charm. We chose a two top on the lovely patio. After ordering sweet tea, we were brought a basket of tortilla chips and some spicy salsa. We ordered guacamole and it was perfect. Onto the main courses: She had the taco trio with black beans/rice and I chose a chile relleno with refried beans/rice. Instead of the usual cheese stuffed poblano pepper I opted for steak + cheese, which also had some veggies in it. Very tasty. El G is a charming place and the servers are nice and efficient. We arrived at 1 pm which we found out was the perfect time. It got very busy later. Can't wait to go back with others.

Not how it usually comes which is with actually chicken . I think they gave was whatever was left . I called then and the offer2: me come back and get two soups for free instead just doing a refund (even send pics ) . It was a nice offer but with the holidays and stuff hard to come back. . If you are planning to order from the make sure you check your order and if it is any kind of soup ask the if they had enough or just left overs .

Came back to bring some friends, and everyone agreed this was the best meal of the night! This…read moreplace definitely isn't a hidden gem anymore--it was packed. There was a large party that seemed to cause major delays, and we ended up waiting about an hour for our food. Thankfully, the drinks were strong, so we had a great time catching up while we waited. We started with the guacamole, which was incredibly fresh and addictive. I ordered the Fresh Herbs Swai, and although they were out of the coconut rice, the dish was still flavorful and delicious. We also tried the Cuban 4 Leches cake and flan, and both were pretty good. Despite the long wait, this remains one of my favorite low-key spots. The food never disappoints, and I plan to return whenever I'm in the area.

Everything changed when our fajitas arrived. We ordered the Mixed Fajitas with beef steak, shrimp, and chicken. After we'd been eating for a while, my husband suddenly said the steak smelled and tasted spoiled. I realized I had noticed an odd smell when I ate a piece earlier, but I thought maybe it was just me. Then one of our friends said she thought it tasted bad too and had actually spit it out into a napkin. We immediately called the server over. He took the entire cast-iron fajita skillet back to the kitchen and said he would check with the chef. After a long wait, he came back and told us that both the chef and the prep cook insisted there was nothing wrong with the steak because it had been cut just yesterday. They claimed the "smell" was coming from the sauce. We asked them to bring us the sauce separately. We all tasted it, and the sauce had absolutely no bad smell at all. It clearly wasn't the source of the problem. Even then, they refused to acknowledge that anything was wrong with the steak, but they could remake the meat if we want. We then asked to speak with the manager. A young manager came over, we asked if any of them has tasted the beef steak left in the fajitas skillet, she said she believed us tasted and smelled it but she simply repeated the same explanation. She said they were a family-owned business that cared deeply about their reputation, so the meat had to be fresh. Her solution remained unchanged, she can bring us a remake of the meat. By that point, we had already finished most of the meal. What good would another plate do? We weren't asking for more food--we wanted them to acknowledge the issue and handle it appropriately. The ending was honestly unbelievable. They took just $6 off the entire bill, saying they had removed the cost of the steak from the fajitas. I've never experienced a resolution like that at any restaurant. The only conclusion I can come to is that this is a tourist area in Fort Lauderdale. They saw that we were visitors, figured we'd be leaving town soon, and simply didn't care about making things right because we'd probably never be back anyway. I haven't left reviews at Yelp for many years, but I'd like to share this experience. Hopefully it helps others decide whether they want to take the risk of dining here.

Recently went to "El Novillo" restaurant for a 25 year anniversary celebration…read more It was a group of about 25 of us and it was spacious in the seating and table arrangement for all of us to feel comfortable and not cramped up together. It was on a Friday night and they had live music playing with was nice for the occasion. With our pre-selected menu, we ordered a glass of Cabernet, their house salad (very vinegary!!! A tad bit too much in my personal opinion), and for entree the 8 oz baby tenderloin churrasco. (Shout out to one of our waiters! I didn't catch her name but she was honest with the menu recommendations and advised us to order the baby tenderloin churrasco which was a hit!). The mariquitas kept on coming around the table and we were stuffed. Another perk was how fast the service was. Even with our large group, we barely waited in between courses. If you want good Hispanic food on the fly, this is your place.

Located in the heart of Miami Lakes - and near the cow fields - this El Novillo location was where…read moreI enjoyed my employer's Christmas lunch yesterday. Though they have a preset menu for corporate type events, our boss was generous enough to let us select off the open menu. The decor is made to look like the inside of a hacienda with the tile roofs and stucco columns (yes you tell I'm a structural engineer :) The music was mostly 80s ballads, and service was very attentive. They even brought one of the desserts with a candle for a colleague's birthday, and took our group's photo. We started with a couple of baskets of buttered herbed Cuban bread and dipping chimichurri, as well as an appetizer sampler including refried beans, fried cheese and tequenos. The fried cheese was served on a little piece of pita bread and is a must try. I also enjoyed the refried bean soup, especially when dipped with plantain chips. As far as my main course, everyone knows how much I love cows! I enjoyed a sizable piece of churrasco, juicy even at medium well, sweet plantains and moros (here they serve it with red beans instead of black beans) and crispy house-made plantain chips. The Tres leches was also very fluffy, with a lot of cream and perfect enough to send me to a nice little after lunch nap. I also washed it down with Cortadito.
