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!

The gallopinto was great, queso frito was a 10/10. The highlight were the carne desmechada and churrasco. Absolutely flavorful and perfectly cooked!

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

I was in the neighborhood w my parents and niece and decided to treat them to a Father's Day lunch. The place is cutesy, decorated w your typical folklore figurines and paitings..extremely clean and inviting! The menu was a one page form..your typical Nica bangers.

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.

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!
