Love this beach shack so much that I had to add it to Yelp! VASTLY different from nearby "Open Seas Cafe" which IMHO is over priced & food is terrible. This spot just across the ways from the sand is fantastic & completely authentic! From the tapas to the music to the employees, it's ALL Spanish, ALL the time (except maybe for Maria, the Cuban angel who make THE BEST mojitos in Miami). Do yourself a favor & the next time you're getting your tan on, stop my for an ESTRELLA some delicious TAPAS, SANDWICHES, & PAELLAS (paella is min. order for 4 people & must be ordered ahead of time). My go-to is the aforementioned mojitos (make it a double!) & their sublime PATAS BRAVAS. Beach food perfection!

Go to the beach and spend the day or just make this restaurant your destination! Amazing!

Paella on the beach just like in Spain! The owners are so friendly and treat everyone like family

Amazing space and good food. I got two pitchers and croquetas, bit pricey but you are paying for the convenience.

I was at an American Cancer Society Relay for Life Event last year and after walking around the…read moretrack for 6 hours in the dark, I thought I was hallucentating because I saw what looked like people eating hot dogs with potato chips and Russian dressing !! I was directed to the Colombian Cravings Cart where I saw a chart of improbable combinations of condiments and other items like Potato Chips for the hot dogs. I have no idea what is in the " special sauce " but the combo of it with chips and the broiled and then slightly barbaqued hot dogs was heaven !!! Then I look over to the left and see a guy making meat magic in the style I had only seen in Argentina - Parrilla style ( pa ree sha ...lol ) Chicken and steak so good - it would be any vergaterians nightmare. I was so impressd that I contacted the owner later about possible supplying some hot dogs at the Rotary Club of Miami Beach's next meeting. I expected them to drop off a few hot dogs and sodas but No ... The came full gear with the Hot Dog Cart and portable Parrilla Grill and they made the stuff right there during our meeting !!! The contents of the meeting were quickly forgetton because all the visiting Rotarians from Europe wanted to do is eat the food ....lol The wife is from Colombia and the husband from Argentina and they work alot of festivals and races like the Dragon Boat series and a lot of the Relay for Life Events. If you want to impress someone or yourself at your next function, meetng - I highly suggest Colombian Cravings -- they are booked solid though the World Cup btw ... colombiancravings@hotmail.com

The line must have had 30 people in it, on a Friday morning??? What the heck is this about... I drove off, no time to stop; I am on a work mission. I went to my printer and he said "oh my, it's so worth the wait..." Okay, so I went back - I am not going to talk about the wait because it was worth every minute - I know why people are in line and surrounding the window - this is clear cut: Fabulous meat : jerk checken, jerk RIBS! I could smell the smokiness as it floated through the air, all the spices kicking in - I am salivating... I was hungry, had not had breakfast, now its after 12... Jerk ribs? I never heard of such; that's why I was willing to back! I picked up lunch for me and printer. Let's talk about the rules: NO SIDES! they do not sell sides unless you are placing a catering order. Pre-Order? NO, not unless you are ordering 5 plates and more.... I had the opportunity to meet Chef Tally and his daughter, Tallia (obvious namesake). I almost walked off without sauce. I just cannot tell you how good the meat was - the ribs were so succulent, flavor packed - JERK RIBS. I never thought of it; I have been eating BarBQ forever, this was a twist that I am in love with. Chef has a cool operation, I was wondering how he could serve all those people - he has a killer (as in giant) smoker that gets the job done. My next event, I will let you know how the sides work because I will call Chef Tally's World Famous Jerk for catering! In the meantime, I stopped at Publix for a small side of Southern Potato Salad and I was a very happy camper.

Yesssss, this food is amazing!…read more I stooped visiting Mr Cobbs BBQ to come here!!! Well worth it.

Can truckin' and palatable food mix as well as truckers and amphetamine psychosis or underage…read morerunaways mix? In the case of the first and longest operating food truck in Miami, homemade Filipino delicacies and four wheels definitely mix. I began my adventure with a half-Pinay (Filipina) at Parking Lot F in Terminal C at the Port of Miami. I did so many laps before I found it, that I thought I saw someone in a shiny jumper waving a checkered flag. Just head toward the Cruise ship terminals and it's all the way at the end. Years of full-contact drinking, exposure to harmful chemicals and working in nuclear facilities has insured that my memory is as muddled as a Lychee Mojito. But here's what I remember -- Longaniza: grilled Fire Cracker sausage with a touch of sweetness. Lumpia: fried spring rolls of Chinese origin served with sweet chili sauce. Only served during fall, winter and select Filipino holidays because they don't keep well. Pancit: special lo mein made with rice vermicelli noodles instead of ramen. Grilled Milkfish: mild, flaky fish with some free shrimp thrown in. I did as I was instructed an went for the stomach first. Taro Leaves: stewed in coconut milk with a spicy kick served with steamed white rice. We were stuffed but had to try the Ube (purple yam) cake and the Puto, not androgynous male prostitutes, sugary rice cakes. While she read descriptions of Calbee shrimp flavored puffs, and Chlorella Soap (not to be confused with Cholera) on the market side of the truck, I was busy getting to know the regulars of the FFT. Here's what I can't forget -- I quickly learned that "piripinos" don't want anything to do with our prime rib carving station or overflowing chocolate fountains on the cruise ships. Where else would you have such gaudy food as ice cream sundae buffets? I can see how mass produced meals can seem clinical and apathetic. They were looking forward to slow-food they didn't have to wait for. By the way they ate; you'd think that these laborers were fed gruel and water three times a day. They showed up with famished stomachs and souls, empty from dealing with newlyweds and our aging American population. After eating with gloved hands instead of utensils, the Pinoys were in such a festive mood that the coolers come out. San Miguel and Heineken bottles were everywhere and as the flood of memories and emotions rushed in, much singing and laughing rushed out. At 11am after gorging themselves on comfort food, these exhausted men were offering to buy me more food, opening my beers and making recommendations. After 45 minutes of this they had to return to their ship and we hugged it out and made promises to see each other we never kept. It's worth getting lost in the port just to have half the experience we did.

Mmmmm, delicious!! Thanks, soooo much, Rony, for reviewing this place. The owner here is super…read morefriendly and helpful. He's the type of chill person who will have a conversation with you like he's known you forever and he makes some dang good food! He no longer makes cake, pancit, or lumpia (at least not during the hotter summer months because they don't hold up well in the heat), however, he's got a delicious spread of other dishes like pork adobo, chicken in a basic sweet/sour brown sauce, fish, blood something or other (pinoy people, I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about), and a really delicious spinach/collard green like veggie cooked in coconut milk (taro leaves--thanks Rony). If you've ever had Cambodian or Vietnamese rice cake in banana leaf (num anksom in Khmer), then you will love that veggie. It reminds me of the flavor in the rice in a rice cake. Anywho, this truck also has a wide spread of SE Asian drinks like thai tea and some yummy fruit juices and nectars, like nice thick mango nectar in the glass bottle. There is also a nice spread of filipino snacks, like those season toasted corn thingies ~~yum~~~ and some basic filipino ramen-style packaged rice noodles. In terms of the food quality, it was all super delish! The meat was typical filipino sweet/sour for both the pork adobo and the chicken, but the adobo is more of a sweet/salty flavor opposition, too. It is supposed to be salty and worked wonderfully with the diced tomato and onion salad condiment on the side. For a spoonful of pork adobo to try and the chicken dish with rice along with the stewed taro leaves and the onion and tomato salad, a giant can of thai tea, and a gifted corn snack, it was $7. And a note on cleanliness--the owner was meticulous about cleanliness and about always keeping lids on food to keep flies away. FYI, if you ask him what he has, he will tell you what "safe" dishes he has, however, if you are a more adventurous diner, ask him what about the other dishes and let him know you are not a fussy eater and he'll show you and explain the rest. He is also very nice about letting you sample before you choose. You can find the food truck in the J Terminal at the end of Asia Way, closer to the exit from the terminals back toward the city. He generally closes shop at 4PM and arrives at about 8AM. You can park for free at the lot directly across the street and the entrance to the lot is just past the truck. In short, next time you go to the beach, downtown, design district, etc around 8a-4p, consider lugging your butt to the port for a tasty filipino treat! I mean, how often do we actually get good Asian food in this city?? And SE Asian?? I mean, cmon!
