Lmao you all need to do something about this listing. Pakistani?? This is Colombian. Good food. Recommend.

Food was SOOO good Everything we ate.... we cleared OUT and then talked about how we didn't expect it to be THAT good. Service was also good! Keep in mind if you dine inside they auto charge 10% but they definitely don't take advantage of that like most places. Will def be back! read more

Palo Quemao - Bandeja Paisa - Colombian Near Me - Miami, Florida

See all

Nothing out of the ordinary to start, surprise automatic 18% service charge. The real letdown was the bandeja paisa. The chicharrón had little to no meat, the beans had no seasoning at all, and the corn cake was so dry and dense it felt like biting into a ball of brown paper. For a dish that should be flavorful and comforting, it missed every mark. On the positive side, we loved the empanadas, especially the meat ones -- crispy, well‑seasoned, and easily the best part of the meal. The guanábana juice was also delicious and refreshing. The service was a 10. Friendly, attentive, and honestly the highlight of the visit. Overall: amazing service and great empanadas, but the bandeja paisa needs serious improvement. read more

Stopped for a late dinner after visiting the balloon museum in Wynwood. We shared a steak and chicken empanada for an appetizer then split the cazuella de carne without the pork belly. It was absolutely delicious and had tons of flavor. The salsa verde on the side was spicy and flavorful. Great addition but not needed. The margaritas were strong and tasty! read more

Palo Quemao - Passion fruit Maracuya - Colombian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Whenever I forget to bring dinner to work this is my go to spot ! I always order the cazuela de carne & I promise it NEVER disappoints. The food from Palo Quemao is always delicious & fresh. I have never eaten in house so I imagine it's better than the take out, but what I receive is always on point. The bowl is a good amount of meat with hogao on top, rice, beans, plantains, sliced avocado, pieces of an arepa & a fried egg on top. I always get the aji ( hot sauce ) on the side, add una colombiana o postobon & chefs kiss. Absolutely delicious & filling. I highly recommend. read more

Palo Quemao - Cazuela de Carne Bowl - Colombian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Stopped here for cocktails while in Miami waiting for our uber during Art Basel weekend. We all know how notorious the Ubers are for cancelling during a busy weekend. The bartender was so sweet. They had some delicious fresh juices (passion fruit, lulu?, and mango). She made us margaritas and then a great gin based cocktail. The ambiance is relaxed but still appropriate for date night or even family night. read more

An authentic with a smile and flavor of Colombia. They have all the famous, traditional dishes from the country I love and their prices are super reasonable. They have all the things like Colombiana soda, and the Picada which get you all the different flavors to share over a table. Love this spot. Will def be back! ;-) read more

Super flavorful cazuela de cerdo bowl with Colombian sausage, pork belly, sweet corn cake, fried egg, avocado, and rice. Kept me full for a second meal after taking it home! The 4 Leches cake is also decadent to share. It was a busy night, plenty of outdoor seating along Biscayne Boulevard! read more

I had one of the best empanadas in Miami here, they have great Colombian food!! and great customer service!!!!

Food and drinks were great! Loved the two Colombian beers they have, and the wine based cocktails tasted strong yet balanced. I got the mojito with lulo and definitely could taste the orange-y lulo without overpowering the drink. The empanadas were great: great dough and the filling was super flavorful. You can tell whoever prepared it did it with care because the filling was packed and didn't have oil pour out after the first bite. Make sure to add aji to it! For the entree, I split the picada personal. The chicharon was well fried but still had that pork belly texture without being overly fatty. The Colombian chorizo was so good as well, and the fries were super well seasoned. The meat and chicken had great lime flavor, but I didn't like the way it was presented. It was chopped up in small chunks, resembling meat from a Chipotle bowl. I think it made it look cheap or like remaining scraps from another dish; presentation aside, the flavor of the meats were great. The arepas left something to be desired for--I would prefer traditional small, thick arepas. However, the rice and beans were spot on/textbook Colombian rice and beans (SOOO good). The only issue was with the service. It was quite busy, so I understand that, but I didn't have anyone really attend to me once things got settled. Nonetheless, would highly recommend for great, authentic Colombian food! read more

Food: It had been a long time since I had Colombian sancocho, and I found this place. It was delicious, with a very rich and authentic flavor, super homemade. For starters, I had the arepas with ahogao, and they were amazing. Service: Super friendly and very attentive to everything we needed. Ambience: It's in a great location and played Colombian music, making me feel like I was back in my beloved country. read more

I have always wondered about Palo Quemao and finally tried it a couple of months ago. I had a friend visiting and he loves Colombian food. We got there and luckily we were able to get a table for 3. Bigger parties were waiting outside for tables so we were really lucky! To start I ordered a Lulo juice, I fell in love with this fruit when I visited Colombia and I was so happy they had it on the menu! My boyfriend and friend both got some Colombian soda, Postobon and they liked it. To start we shared some Arepas con Queso, good but way too greasy, Tequeños, which were delicious, and Cheese Empanadas which were big, yummy, and greasy too. We also got the Bandeja Paisa which was huge! Perfect for 2-3 people and I got a side of the rice and beans because I couldn't get over how good they were! The place is cute and clean and the server was welcoming. read more

Brought an out of town friend here! We really enjoyed our meal here - service was super friendly, and the food was exactly what we were looking for. Weather was good, so we sat at one of the many tables outside. We got three things - the Ajiaca Santafereno (chicken soup), empanadas, and the Bandeja Paisa to try a bunch of different proteins. We found this place because I searched "soup" near "my current location." We were not disappointed by the Ajiaca Santafereno It was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. We liked the crispness of the empanadas. As two Asian Americans, both of us were big fans of the pork belly and liked how the rice is a little different from Chinese / Vietnamese rice. Wasn't obsessed with the steak in this order, but we liked everything else in the Bandeja Paisa. Will be returning with my husband! This is a great spot for something that feels a little more homey, but elevated. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this palce. I literally grab food from here atleast 2wice a week. I get the Steak, Rice, beans. or the Chicken, rice, beans. the Sanchoco de res is the best for those cold rainy days. It taste just like home cooked food and there is soo many options to choose from. read more

A convenient doordash option while visiting Miami. Unfortunately because I was in Miami for a work trip, I was also still working west coast hours and having to eat dinner in my room over meetings. The projections for delivery were on point and they only delivered to the front desk and not to the room, so be prepared to go down to grab the takeout. I got a carne bowl, caldo, and guanabana juice. Everything was so good and reminded me of my grandmother in laws cooking! I especially loved the caldo which had a lot of shredded chicken, big chunks of potato and authentic Latin flavors. The guanabana juice was super sweet but refreshing. A great to go dinner. read more

Loved this place! Didn't plan on eating here and stumbled upon it on maps. Exceeded my expectations for sure! The tequeños were AMAZING! Perfectly crisp on the outside and melted on the inside just like they should be (not all places make them well lol) . we got the parilla for 4 which was HUGEEE couldn't even finish it . The server was very attentive with us. read more

My friend was visiting from NC and asked me a good place to visit. I mentioned this place right away because it was on my list of places to visit. We sat outside and Aurora was our server. Everything looks and smells great. If you have passed by there, you will know. We ordered a picada personal and a few Aguilas. I will be back again for sure. Great food and service. read more

No matter the time of day, this place is packed! Cute little spot on the 1st floor of the City 24 residential Building, they have a nice outdoor dinning area & always play fun/cheerful latin music. Definitely gets you in a good mood! I've gone on weekends after the gym for a quick bite, after work with friends and ordered take out. I do find it a little over priced for basic latin food, but i guess it makes up for ambiance & portion size. My favorites are the soups & the empanadas, i've had friends rave about the bandeja paisa, i agree that it's delicious but the portion seems to feed 3! The staff is friendly, and orders typically come out quickly. read more

Went for lunch and ordered the Cazuela de pollo. Very tasty and has a little of everything. Service very friendly. Has a full bar so will definitely return for dinner. read more

Food was delicious and a great portion sizes. Additionally, service was quick and server was attentive! I forgot to take more pictures but we ordered the tequenos, picada personal (contains Steak, Blood Colombian sausage, chicken, pork belly, Colombian sausage, French fries & corn cake), and salad. Since we had so much meat, we decided to order a side salad. When the salad arrived, I was expecting more leafy greens but it was mostly tomato with some avocado. The menu didn't include a picture so I didn't know what to expect, but the salad was good. We wanted to be seated outside to enjoy the nice Miami weather but it is located alongside a busy road and there were several times where we had to pause the conversation because ambulances / firetrucks / police cars were blaring (no fault to the restaurant but something to keep when eating here). I will definitely be back here! read more

After a very active Saturday (close to 9000 steps on my Apple Watch) I ended up here for dinner since it was walking distance from where my evening ended. I'd driven by other times since it is right on Biscayne Boulevard but never stopped by as I didn't find parking. It's a cozy, casual spot in the lobby of a condo with a view of street life. Since I ate on the terrace, it is also dog friendly! The menu is very meat centric with Colombian "comfort food" dishes such as vandeja paisa and empanadas. Trying to be somewhat healthy (and leave the calories for dessert) I enjoyed a well cooked pollo a la plancha (chicken breast), red beans and perfectly crispy tostones. The chicken breast was pretty sizeable and had a good hint of smokiness. While their bar menu is limited to beer and wine, I did enjoy a couple of glasses of Pinot Grigio. Speaking of dessert- and one of those wine glasses - their cuatro leches is a must have. It has a nice dulce de leche topping and creamy filling, making your sweet tooth very happy. read more

Great food, service, music...but the food is really authentic and fresh! One of my favorite latin restaurants in Miami! I go whenever in Downtown! read more

We are staying at an airbnb nearby so decided to stop by for a snack given the good soup reviews. We had the chicken soup, green plantain appetizer and 3 juices. This place is such a gem. We love it. Sat outside at the patio by the street. Chicken soup is authentic and so tasty. Only $13.50. Very flavorful and not salty. Tostones with the Colombian tomato sauce hot and yummy. $6.95. We had the guanabana, mango, mora (blackberry) $5 each and so worth it. Loved everything. We will be back. read more

I had a family member of mine go through one of the most awful experiences trying to get service here. My family and I are of Caribbean descent we are Jamaican not Hispanic. My niece and my older sister stopped by earlier today and was told to leave because the restaurant was not open. Mind you the restaurant was open and fully functioning and on top of that was told they were only serving their customers. Which left my family members feeling extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed. How in the world can you treat people like this. The two men who were at the front of the restaurant was very racist toward my family. I do not suggest you eat here if you are African American or if you have melonated skin. You will be profiled and treated like trash . Stay away from this place we do not support racism or racist organizations. !!!!!!!!!! read more

I'd give them all the stars on this app if I could. This place is awesome! Great customer service, the food is consistently great and the prices aren't bad at all. I normally get the fried fish with rice, beans, plantains, yuca fries, maybe some grilled chicken.. whatever you decide will be delicious. Nice music, great for families or a night out. The outdoor seating is a plus. Can't wait to come back read more

Came here after work on a Tuesday. It's located right in biscayne blvd (street parking) on a corner and easy to access. They had both indoor and outdoor seating, with fan available. We were seated immediately and service was overall quick! We ordered the antojitos for the table along with a maracuyá and mora juice. I have to say, probably one of the best juices I've had. I've tried mora in other spots but normally they are watered down. As for the plate, everything tasted fresh and it came along with picante and sauces. For dessert, I did milo. It was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Would come back though to try more dishes. Staff was attentive, place was clean, and food was good at a decent price! read more

Palo Quemao (@paloquemao.miami) has all the delicious Colombian staples, including bandeja paisa, ajiaco (chicken soup), empanadas colombianas, and natural fruit juices made with fruit local to Colombia: lulo, guanabana, etc. It is the better of the Colombian restaurants in the Edgewater/downtown area, though the chicken does come out a bit dry, sometimes.

This was definitely the best meal I had on my trip to Miami. They are clearly set up for success both as a restaurant and as a carry out establishment. When you first walk in you feel like you've entered a small walk up café somewhere in Latin America. The wait staff speaks broken English, but certainly made an effort to be friendly to me during my visit. The decor is simple, but the little touches give it an intimate relaxed feeling. I was at ease pretty much the minute I walked in the door. The food was absolutely magnificent. I began with an order of their cheese bread, which is essentially a tortilla cut into quarters with melted cheese. Whatever type of cheese they're using it was absolutely terrific. My entrée was a oversize piece of grilled chicken with rice and beans. Grilled chicken is very difficult to get right sometimes, and this place gets it perfect. The chicken was moist and tender and seasoned perfectly. Pricing is appropriate for an establishment of this quality. I would absolutely come back! read more

This place is located right on the Biscayne Blvd so it's been on my mind for a while and finally we stopped by for a quick dinner. No reservation needed, this is a super casual place. The service was quick and in Spanish, I think they know English but probably prefer to speak Spanish. Food quality and prices are really unbeatable I definitely recommend getting the picada for 2, the portion is massive and it's enough food for two people for sure. The salad is a bit subpar so I would not order that again. read more

The food was delicious, I had the fried fish. The place is clean the staff is nice, however, what I didn't like is that for whatever reason they will not remove the head from the fish if you request it. This is somyI found to be wired and petty. I would give them very high rating but for this reason. I am not sure if this is a policy by the restaurant or if it is a preference of the chef. Whatever the reason they should consider changing this. I will recommend this place but would not recommend getting the fish for this reason. I would have given a higher rating but for this reason. read more

Finally back and able to find a table, this is a very lovely Colombian restaurant located in Edgewater in the Midtown Miami area. The decor is very charming and they have a lot of seating available outdoors and indoors. We ordered the Picada for two, food arrived hot and promptly. The meats were tender, savory, tasty and the portion served was very generous. We really enjoyed the chorizo, the chicken and the picante sauce. It was a delicious dish. My party and I were impressed by the level of service and attentiveness of Lina and all the staff members who constantly checked on us. Great experience and phenomenal service. Will definitely revisit in the future to try their other dishes and the sancocho! read more

Food was really good, and prices were right, we might be back for takeout. Service sucked BIG time our main server Odalis was terrible , she had a really bad attitude, nasty , and all over rude, two other male servers were super nice though. The place is really cute , unfortunately the smell of food was bad and we came out smelling like fried food and the floor inside was very slippery, because of the humidity hard and kind of dangerous to walk , there was guy trying his best to keep the floor dry but the mix of the A/C and the door open didn't help. read more
