(There, they also steam the fish rather than fry it; but hey, beggars can't be choosers!) I knew this existed from other people's pics. But on the menu, I couldn't figure out which item it was. I asked the waiter, he pointed it out, but I forgot what he said. Lol. I think it's tilapia. It was $15 before tax, tip. Just what I wanted!

I've been here twice so far. First time I got the birra tacos (a different experience but…read morepleasant). Second time I got chicken lunch fajitas which was nice though for some reason all these types of restaurants are stingy when you say "no beans, double rice" they just give a single serving of rice. I don't like refried beans. The decor is definitely unique and a nice departure from the more 80s hokey mexican restaurants that seem to get all their furniture from the same supplier (or estate sales of closed competitors). I like the variety of options on the menu and how they're organized by region. A coworker of mine said the Venezuelan offerings are the expensive types of food. I find myself more curious about the other offerings on the menu more than I typically do at other places which makes future visits more exciting. I'm reserving the fifth star for my next visit when I order a taco salad. If anything the taco salad is how I rate and conpare each latino themed restaurant. How the beef is seasoned and what toppings are included are major factors.

The potatoes and asparagus were great, and even the beans (which I usually skip) were surprisingly good. The steak quesadilla hit the spot too. Overall, a great experience!

If you're looking for something different from the endless Mexican spots around here, this place is…read moreabsolutely worth checking out. We stopped in right when they opened and the experience was great from the start. The owners are Venezuelan, and the hospitality really stood out. They were incredibly welcoming and even told us not to worry about paying until after we finished eating, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and personal. The food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and we both ordered full meals along with Cuban coffee. The coffee alone was worth it -- strong, rich, and exactly what you want after a good meal. The atmosphere honestly reminded me of being back in South Florida -- authentic Latin flavors, friendly owners, and a laid-back vibe that makes you want to come back again. Highlights * Authentic Latin/Venezuelan flavors * Extremely welcoming owners * Delicious Cuban coffee * Great change of pace from the typical local options If you're tired of the same restaurant rotation and want something authentic and flavorful, Miami Latin Kitchen is a great spot to try.

From the moment we walked in, this place felt warm, welcoming, and real -- not trendy, not flashy, just genuinely good. The food was the star of the show. The pupusas were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft, cheesy, and flavorful on the inside, served with bright, tangy curtido that tied everything together beautifully. The rice and beans were simple in the best way -- seasoned like someone's grandma was back in the kitchen -- and the plantains were caramelized, buttery, and impossible to stop eating. You could tell everything was made with care, patience, and pride, not rushed or reheated. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and the service was friendly without hovering. If you love bold, comforting, homemade flavors, this is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back -- and soon.

What a surprise to find such a romantic, exclusive and fusion Latin Cuisine experience in Tyler,…read moreTexas. Set on a hill, this beautiful property is definitely eye catching from the intersection. I call it fusion Latin cuisine because their shrimp ceviche was definitely not your typical one. Surprised with the sweet and not expected pineapple pieces, I couldn't help myself from enjoying and eating all of it. And the plate presentation of this appetizer is on point! Well done! Love the M letter drawing, the 'tartar' set up and dollop of guacamole to hold the chip deco! I believe the chips are home made. Service was wonderful! Attentive. Was recommended the blue coconut jalapeño mojito and it was also different. I would have personally liked a classic mojito better. Coconut and jalapeño didn't rock my boat, but the presentation was lovely. For the entrees we went off the card and chose from their specials menu. The Osso Buco pork shank was juicy, fall off the bone, and deliciously flavorful! Bold in flavors. The tasty saucy beans balanced the bland cilantro lime rice. It was a large portion, couldn't finish the quantity but it was well-loved. The surf and turf dish was beautifully set up. The filet mignon steak was on top of chimichurri fries, and the overcooked lobster found its way on fajita vegetables. The steak that was cut in was more of a medium and not medium rare but still tasty and finished. This place is apparently popular amongst prom goers. Quite a few prom groups with photographers were taking pictures in and around the building earlier that evening. Aside from the food, service and ambience.

Guacamole show was delicious and came with a variety of fresh salsas to try. Really appreciated the small, focused menu and attention to quality. My favorite bite hands down was the Gringas Al Pastor tacos. The grilled pineapple on it was just *chefs kiss*. The Biste tacos were okay. Also tried the Camaron and although the shrimp was great I think they were overshadowed by the ratio of mixed greens. Another highlight was the wonderful speed and professional service by our waiter Fordham, very impressed. Clean bathroom. Was a little less impressed when I asked to be seated not 2 feet away from a family with several fussy children and was met with a kind of a scowl and "I'll see if that can work" on an empty patio otherwise. Just wanted a peaceful atmosphere and more of a choice of where we were seated would've been nice. But overall great experience and will return.
