    Tostones and shredded chicken appetizer
    Sergio F.

    If it wasn't for the shredded chicken in the tostones appetizer or the ham in the red bean soup I would almost say I turned vegetarian. Yes unfortunately this was the first time that I have had to leave Churrasco steak untouched. Abuelita's appears to be a more modern branding of the old Epicentro II Cafe at this location, where I last ate back in 2017. The interior may have been remodeled for the most part (they still have the Hialeah maquinitas in the back) but a lot of improvement is still needed. See, I was hungry for some good churrasco today. I looked for a new place and decided to give Abuelitas a try. As I mentioned, the place looks really updated and for a while - my appetizer course - I thought I found a new trendy spot in Hialeah. I ate a couple of delicious tostones cup appetizer. Take a toston (fried green plantain), shape it into a cup and fill it with shredded chicken and melted cheese, and you have the saving culinary grace for this restaurant. The plan was to sample this, take the rest home and enjoy my Churrasco. They became my main course since the steak tasted weird. It was a mixture of over greasy or almost rancid. Needless to say, the rest of the steak sat untouched. Even the fried sweet plantains (maduros) tasted greasy. The only other good dish was the red bean soup. I also did have a cortadito which was good. These are what eek out to two stars. The comments on some other reviews here - and my experience with service at the previous incarnation - on service attention? Sadly they still persist. The waitresses seemed busy chatting with other customers at the ventanita that no one noticed an untouched steak. The cortadito I did enjoy? Well when they finally came to clean my table and give me my bill one asked if I wanted coffee. I just pointed to the cortadito cup , and for the first time in awhile left barely a 15% tip. I really do wish them well, and that ownership continues the remodeling they did of the facade and interior with their service and food prep.

    Great portions!      Bistec de pollo, morro y maduros.

    My first visit to Franky's Deli Warehouse was exceptional, largely because of Frank, the owner…read more From the moment I walked in, he was extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive. His level of customer service immediately stood out, he genuinely takes the time to guide first-time customers and make them feel comfortable. Frank suggested what he considers the four must-try sandwiches for a first visit: the Italian, Tuna, Corned Beef & Pastrami, and the Philly Cheesesteak. I followed his recommendation and tried the tuna sandwich, which was outstanding, fresh, perfectly balanced, and generously prepared. I also took a Tuna sandwich to go for my wife after trying it and ordered the Italian to try later, which I'm already looking forward to. What impressed me most was not just the quality of the food but the overall experience. Frank's knowledge of his menu, his willingness to help customers decide, and his genuine pride in the deli create an atmosphere that keeps people coming back. If you love great sandwiches, top-notch service, and an owner who truly cares about the customer experience, I highly recommend Franky's Deli Warehouse to anyone. It's the kind of place that quickly becomes a favorite.

    These guys are legit!…read more Best sandwiches in town, period. I won't argue this matter. Great variety, fresh ingredients, friendly service and fair prices. None of the New Miami nonsense. Can't beat that. My only regret? I only discovered them 2 weeks ago. So far I've tried their Famous Italian, the Corned Beef & Pastrami and their tuna sandwich, and they are all awesome. Trust me, go, they'll take care of you.
