When you walk in the restaurant is very clean but it's very busy so pack your time and patients the line moves very fast so that's a plus. When you go there just know that English is spoken very little so learn how to order your food In Spanish it's shows that you at least tried and they very gracious that you tried. Now to the food very delicious and well season I was a little disappointed at how much meat they gave but that was my eye being bigger than my stomach. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Miami.

We started with melon and dragonfruit drinks which were like aguas frescas. For starters we tried the Taquitos and Chancho con Yucca and they were excellent. The pork tenderloin chunks in the Chancho were done well and had a tasty coating of spices. We loved the chopped cabbage. We also liked the pulled beef in the Taquitos. The fried beans were creamy and delicious. In fact, everything on our plates was delicious! For mains, we had the Fajitas de Carne and Lengua en Salsa. Both were very good. I haven't had a tamale in a while so I decided to try the Indio Maiz; the sweet corn was good as was the sour cream and soft cheese. Yum. I really enjoyed Maranos. I may have been the only gringo in the place :).

The portions were good in comparison to Los Ranchos and the steak was extremely flavorful and soft. They also have a selection of sauces for the steak or your meal. The service was great. Our only complaint was that they served canned beverages. If you are somebody that drinks a lot of soda, the bill can quickly get expensive. We love Nicaraguan food and frequently dine at other places but this restaurant by far is the best. The wait can be long on the weekends with larger parties so just be aware of that.

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.

This is a great Nicaraguan spot to go to late at night if you're hungry. I went at around 10 pm and…read moretried to get a Quesillo but unfortunately they ran out. Instead I ordered a carne asada which is just steak, as well as rice and fried cheese. The entire plate was $20, which is great for the amount of food you get. I also ordered a cacao which is like a chocolate milk made with real cacao. The only downside was how long it took to get my drink, you have to go to a separate window to order drinks or dessert. There was 2 people in front of me and it took an extended amount of time to get just 1 drink and a sweet treat. It was obviously worth it but a bit inconvenient. Anyways, you should definitely check this spot out for authentic Nicaraguan cuisine.

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!
