My order was a pretty good size came delivered at a good temperature. I will say the order was mostly rice, but the grilled chicken breast was bad enough and had a nicely tangy citrus marinade plus lots of little onions. This is a spot you can't go wrong with for the classics!

You can't spend two weeks in Miami and leave without eating a Cuban sandwich. It would feel like…read morevisiting Philadelphia without trying a cheesesteak or New Orleans without ordering gumbo. Fortunately, a coworker pointed me toward Latin American Grill in Miami Lakes, just a few minutes from our hotel. It turned out to be exactly the sendoff I was hoping for. We started with the Sopa de Pollo, a bowl that made it immediately clear this kitchen isn't interested in shortcuts. Large chunks of chicken, tender vegetables, and noodles floated in a broth with remarkable depth. It wasn't simply chicken soup, it was the kind of soup that makes you wonder why every other version tastes so timid. A squeeze of fresh lime added just enough brightness to wake up every spoonful without distracting from the richness of the broth. Then came the reason for the visit. The Medianoche. I've always preferred the sweeter cousin of the traditional Cuban sandwich, and Latin American Grill makes a terrific one. Thick slices of ham and juicy mojo pork were layered with Swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles before being pressed between soft, sweet bread until the outside turned beautifully crisp. Every ingredient had a purpose. The pork brought richness, the ham added salt, the mustard and pickles cut through the fat with welcome acidity, and the sweet bread tied everything together. It's one of those sandwiches that reminds you how satisfying simplicity can be when every component is done well. Sometimes the best restaurant recommendations don't come from guidebooks or social media. They come from someone who simply says, "You should eat here." In this case, they were absolutely right. A great Cuban sandwich doesn't need reinvention. It just needs great ingredients, careful execution, and a hot press. Latin American Grill delivers all three.

First, we ordered a bandeja paisa , two empanadas colombiana, a coke, and manzana postobon which owner said he had one left for me to come by and get it. When we get there they dont accept any cards, so i had to zelle him. Apart from that we leave and while im in the car, i noticed he put in two cokes. Owner knew he didnt have a postobon, yet decided to tell us he did and slipped in two cokes thinking we werent going to return. As we return, he pretends to look for it and then says an excuse about how he doesnt have anymore so i took a sprite. When we got home, we open up the food and the bandeja looked horrible, the egg was fried terribly we didnt get any frijoles or avocado and carne molida was poorly done. Apart from the bandeja paisa, the empanadas they gave us werent even colombian empanadas. Deffinetly not returning to this place again.

Exhaust is very poor. Since they fry a lot it is irritating to the eyes. Very uncomfortable.read more

The play gym area and the dining area around it were very clean. As I sat there for lunch, I saw a couple of different servers come by to clean and sweep after the children. There are a couple of four-top tables around the area, and we were seated at one. Our server, Mariarosa, was so sweet and on top of all we needed. She really made the experience exceed our expectations. The lunch menu was varied and priced fairly for the quality of food provided. I ordered the fish and shrimp ceviche bowl with rice. The patacones served with it were spot on. So crispy and delicious! For a couple of dollars more, one can choose to drink a soda, coffee, and/or dessert. Our whole party was really surprised by the overall quality of the food and service.

I was actually going to bring it up to the waitress but my friend suggested we just take it home and reheat it later which is a shame because the dish looked delicious but when you're dining at a restaurant you expect your food to come out hot and fresh..especially fried rice. The sampler platter was definitely the highlight of the meal. But the cold fried rice really brought down the experience. I prefer the Miami lakes location. I don't think I'd come back again.

I was hesitant at first as my girls and I haven't really had much exposure to "Latin" food. We were pleasantly surprised. The steak was a great cut of meat, tender, juicy, and a great flavor. My littlest girl said this chicken is way better than your grilled chicken dad (and admittedly, she was right)! It was a huge chicken breast, grilled to perfection. She even liked the white rice. I haven't been able to get her to eat more than a bite of rice for three years. They served the best plantains I have ever had. I actually have never liked any plantains I have ever tried and I couldn't stop eating these, cooked to perfection! The outdoor dinning area was beautiful. We showed up around 7pm. While we were eating under the nice awning, there was a small family of ducks that was walking around the nice landscaping.
