    Vegetable soup with pork, rice, arepa, and fried ripe plantains.
    Magda M.

    Mekatos is a cute Colombian Bakery & Restaurant in West Kendall that has delicious food at an affordable price. The restaurant is decorated nicely. I ordered a vegetable soup with pork meat. The food was delicious and abundant. The service at the restaurant was great, our waitress made sure we were satisfied with our food and service.

    Stopped in for some Colombian empanadas as my husband was craving. They had a lot of options in the bakery case of Colombian deliciousness. I got the empanadas but couldn't resist ordering a Colombian sausage which has such great flavor. The empanadas came with a great sauce and were very plump and yummy. I will be back for more!

    Carne Asada, Arepa y Quesito

    Mekatos Colombian restaurant - clean restaurant, good portions, quick service too. Appetizers were fantastic. pan de bono was really fresh and soft. My favorite appetizer was the beef empanada/empanada de carne, crunchy and tastes amazing. I ordered the carne asada / grilled beef, huevos, arepa quesito all very good.

    Went again it was good great social distancing and mask requirements. Same decor love it Old Colombian small marketplace. But the food is good . We got four empanadas man they were good wow fresh hot of the frier so good. We ordered2 bandejas paisas. If you ordered steak. They charge you two dollars they came out to 18 dollars each. The meat was soft and plenty of the usual sides but they did only give me half of a chorizo !? I was starving and this is what i want my arepa was hard as a rock thanks god my wife's was good and they sides and chicharron were good .

    My leftovers!

    Currently drooling over my plate of Bandeja Paisa. Mekatos Bakery, you've done it again! I'm so thankful to have this authentic Colombian spot by my home, especially since I'm no longer surrounded by an abundance of them. This bakery offers a nice variety of traditional Colombian breads such as pan de bono (guava filled also available), buñuelos, pan de queso, dedos de queso, etc. I adore their morcilla, especially, when they're nice and fresh. Some people think the concept of them is gross, being that they're blood sausage, but I can't help it, they're so yummy. The pan de bonos are another scrumptious breakfast item here. I love pairing them with some pericos (scrambled eggs with peppers) in the morning. Today I tried their Bandeja Paisa for the first time. The price is a bit steep ($14.99) but the plate was massive and I had a ton left over to bring home. The presentation of the plate itself was lovely. It was served to me on a rectangular wooden plate, with the food over a banana leaf. Their paisa consisted of white rice, kidney beans, steak, chicharron, avocado, an arepa de choclo, sausage, and maduros (sweet plantains). The portion was huge, and very filling. Hence why I have plenty left over lol. Service was great as usual, and the restaurant is clean and maintained well. Aside from their usual Colombian country decor, they also have Valentine's Day decorations up. If you haven't bern here yet, I highly recommend checking them out. They might be a small hole in the wall, but they make good stuff!

    We had a delicious breakfast: calentado, arepas, arepas de choclo, pan de bono buñuelos, pan de yucca. There are four tables inside and four outdoor tables, and they play Spanish music in the background.

    Excellent selection and true Colombian flavor. The food is delicious and plentiful (always hv to go boxes) the fruit juices are always fresh. Pastries and empanadas are a treat. They offer a selection of traditional desserts. Customer service is fast and pleasant, like "at home" vibes. And they follow all safety measures. Mekatos is great food and great value!

    Colombian decoration all over the place inside Mekatos Colombian bakery, West Kendall

    Fact: Located on the southwest end corner of a shopping plaza that's on 56 street and 152nd Ave right infront of the Lakes of the Meadows neighborhood. Mekatos has traditional Colombian snacks, everything from pan de bono, buñuelos, chorizo,chicharrones and more. Inside is decorated with Colombian flags and Colombian artisan crafts. It's a bakery but has a small dining area if you prefer to dine in unlike other Colombian bakeries in Kendall. Opinion: I gave this place 3 stars but I easily could've rated Mekatos at 4 stars if it wasn't for the service. The employees are your typical Colombian women who are not very friendly and look miserable when you walk in, I'm Colombian so I'm used to this type of attitude so it doesn't really bother me much. They have a tip jar but if you're the type of person that expects a thank you after putting in a few bucks in that little tip jar, then forget about it, they can careless. As far as the food and ambiance, it's excellent! I had their morcilla which had a good taste not burnt and the skin wasn't tough, same thing for their Colombian chorizo. Their pan de queso and pan de bono were baked perfectly very soft on the inside and their chicharrones are some of the best I've ever had in all of West Kendall, crispy on top and soft non chewy meat on the bottom. With food this good, who needs good service. Highly recommend this place for Colombian snack food in West Kendall, I would put Mekatos as perhaps the number 2 best Colombian bakery in the area. Check it!

    Arepa de choclo
    Andrea B.

    One of the best Colombian bakeries in Miami! I had the arepa de choclo, pandebono, and empanada de carne with un cafe con leche, and it was all delicious. My friend tried the recalentado with huevos pericos which I got to try and LOVED. The portion for that was huge and probably would be enough for 3 meals! The servers were very friendly and attentive. What I loved the most about this place were the beautiful Colombian decorations, it made me feel like I was back in Colombia.

They boast both indoor and outdoor seating with the same aesthetic and nods to Colombian culture, like the cute hats and sandals hanging on the wall. We were seated inside fairly quickly on the Sunday afternoon we came in. They were pretty busy, but the waiters were kind of hanging out at the bar, just chit-chatting. We were able to get one of the servers to look at us after a couple of minutes of sitting there. They brought us a little palate-opener of a small portion of a simple soup. They had a margarita special we tried, $5 frozen margaritas. The maracuya (passion fruit) one was a solid choice. I also ordered the mojarra frita with white rice, tostones, and salad. The rice was really undercooked. The waiter tried to appease us by bringing us more of the same uncooked rice. We were not the only table to say something about it because our neighbors confirmed they too received the same and were also unhappy. Other than that, the rest of my meal was great. However, I will say my mom was very upset with her experience and expressed that her chicken wasn't prepared well either.
