Decided to try something new and local on Saturday morning Pamela's gave me a chill eurosouth American vibe. South American trying to be European The service was ummm relaxed. No rush but on the border of ignoring Was feeling ceviche and it was good here but not great. The fish was plentiful and tasty but just one note. I needed something less for texture Jenny got the steak sandwich which is interesting as well. The bread is ummm different but not in a really bad way. Homemade mayo and guacamole was pilled on. Nothing really stood out as amazing but it was good Good enough for me to come here again and try different things so 4 stars it is read more

Chilean restaurants are hard to find, so I was pleasantly surprised, especially since I'm from Chile. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed, but the wait was not too bad so we decided to stay. I ordered the Sopa Marinera, a dish I have had before in Chile, and it was delicious. I absolutely recommend it. The seafood tasted fresh, the soup was served very hot but yet the seafood was not overcooked. The service was very attentive and friendly, even though they were extremely busy. It's nice to see that all guests receive the same level of care. My only downside was the parking. The plaza parking fills up quickly, so if you arrive at a busy time, you may have to wait for a spot unless you get lucky. read more

I love this place. There are not a lot of Chilean restaurants in miami however this one makes me feel like I'm home. Very authentic. From thr food to the bread to the hot sauce to the service. All Chilean. They also have a little market where you can buy things sourced from there. And they brought the best wine bottles. Don't need to fly to Chile for it anymore. Food is amazing. Cannot go wrong with thr steak here. Overall amazing. I love coming herr and will keep coming back read more

When your Chilean friends say this is the best Chilean empanadas around, you go. We did takeout of empanadas, Pastel de choclo (corn pie) and Milhojas (dulce de leche layered dessert). The empanadas were so fresh and the crust was so good. One will fill you up. The corn pie is very rich, cozy and heavy. The dessert was sweet caramel and cracker tasting. A good introduction to Chilean food. read more

You really can't go wrong by coming here. Highly recommend! read more

Everything was amazing. Thank you. Really good food and the environment was extremely friendly.

I was in the area and saw this cozy place. Surprised how we were treated and how tasty the food was. Ivan treat as like VIPs and answered all the questions we had on Chilean food. Love the seafood soup and the dish that I still can't pronounce the name of. Chealean bread, real butter, and worse, food in other patrons' plates. Everyone working there and other customers, all nice. Definitely will return. read more

Food is delicious. Servers were warm, friendly and helpful. Ivan was great as we were not familiar with Chilean cousine and don't read Spanish menu. Yes, there were English on it also but very brief, basically only describes the main ingredient. Several others also stopped by to make sure we are well taken care of. This is our first Chilean encounter and we are so impressed I know we will be back. read more

Great food and service highly recommended seafood family restaurant . I always order congrio a la plancha with papas doradas and chilean salad Never disappointed read more

What a meal! Started off with a ground beef empanada. Went on to the grouper in cilantro sauce and ended with a torta de mil hojas. All accompanied by two pisco sours. This little gem is hiding in an ordinary strip mall in Westchester. As soon as you enter you sense you're in a home cooking venue. We didn't have wine but you personally choose and purchase by the bottle for your table. Their only hard liquor is the pisco sour. It packs a punch! All portions were quite generous. I could've easily shared my plate. All food was fresh and delicious. Service was attentive. It's not a quick moving restaurant. Sit, eat, and enjoy your meal and company. read more

Pamela's gives you the authentic experience of a Chilean restaurant. Family owned, been here for years and I was told their quality have remained consistent! They also have a spectacular wine wall to select and take home. The Chilean bread they serve for the table is made fresh in the kitchen with the tastiest diced tomato condiment on the side. I'm not a fried empanada person but I tried their seafood fried empanada and it was impressive! The pastry is thick, it's not overly fried, and the inside was a scrumptious seafood mix. You could eat two as a meal, so filling and satisfying! The congrio mariscos is a thick fish smothered in pink creamy seafood sauce, a mix of calamari, mussels, shrimp, scallop. I ordered this with white rice because it's the only way to get the most out of the tasty sauce! Everything as spectacular. The desserts are made in house, all traditional Chilean. Not too sweet, the perfect note to end on. And they sell fresh Chilean bread so you can take home to enjoy. read more

So you are in the mood for some great Chilean cuisine and don't know where in Miami to get some.... We'll have no fear as Pamela's Restaurant is here. Came to find out that Pamela's Restaurant is a family owned restaurant that has been operating and serving up some awesome food for quite some time now. Pamela's is located on Bird Road and 84th Avenue in a very unassuming strip mall but no need to worry as there is plenty of parking available. We were made aware of Pamela's by some friends of ours that had been eating there for quite some time and highly recommended it to us. Being the adventurous types we opted to check them out immediately if not sooner! Upon arriving we were promptly greeted and seated but I will tell you the restaurant was jumping and very busy which is always a good sign. The atmosphere was pretty laid back and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I don't believe they take reservations but you may want to give it a shot but even if you have to wait to be seated it will be well worth it. Now I will tell you that if you are expecting to get in and out quickly, this is not that type of restaurant. Chileans really take their dining very seriously and enjoy taking their time and making an experience of it so make sure you order some wine and make an evening of it. They have a very interesting selection of Spanish and Chilean wines available so enjoy. So after some conversation with our server, we decided to order the Seafood Empanadas which were delicious. Pamela's bakes all their breads and empanadas in house, yep that's right they bake all their traditional breads in house which is great. By the way, they do bring some bread to the table with some Chilean Pico de Gallo which is a little spicy but very, very good. The seafood empanadas were excellent, the dough was flaky and the seafood filling was great as well. For our main courses we opted for the Fish and Shrimp Ceviche and the Grilled Grouper in a Cilantro Sauce with Mashed Potatoes. The Ceviche and the Grilled Grouper were very tasty and cooked to perfection as well. We also ordered the Papa Dorada's (Sliced Baked Potatoes) which were also very good. Rounding the bases to third, we decided to order some espressos and the Merengue and Strawberry Cake which was very tasty; also, baked in house as well. Overall, we were very happy we tried them out this evening and will definitely be back to try some of the other food items. Feel free to check them out and while you are at it order a Pisco Sour as those are very good as well.... I know as I had a few of those as well. LOL! Wishing you all a great dining experience! Enjoy and Bon Appétit m'es amis! read more

I have been to Pamela's for many years, today was very disappointing it was all about a table, we were denied the table that I i was requesting because it was supposed to be for 4 to 6 people, mind you the minutes after we sat down more people came in an were forced to separate the table I had requested, since the beginning we were told they could not do it, I love this place but we felt so disrespected to we could not stay so we just asked for we had consumed and we left!! I don't know if I would go back there again!! read more

First time trying. the food was good. I've never had chilean food so good for my first time and service was great. would def come again read more

Although extremely kind and accommodating, if you're not a vegan, you'll enjoy dining here the most. Service is good because the servers do not rush you and do not hover. The place is quaint and has ample seating, plus a free parking area out front. The food is made fresh but some salad ingredients and table chile sauces are not, so pay attention. Be picky with your salad choice. Potatoes can be made without butter, and still taste great-which is a plus. read more

We have been going there for over 25 years, at previous location. Staff is very polite not so much the son of the owner. Asked him to please lower the curtain as the sun was hitting the cars outside and reflection was on my face. Dir not even try. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants to visit with my parents. The cuisine is authentic Chilean delights. I've tried a lot of items in their menu throughout the years but I've narrowed my order in the past two years to their meat empanada for appetizer (I share half with my husband because they are huge), and I always order the corn casserole. These two menu Items are my absolute favorite. My parents love their congrio fish which of the most delicious fish I've ever had. The service is always perfect and it is a family atmosphere. We visit about one a month and have always enjoyed our meal. read more

Always delicious. Great service, many options. We always call ahead to bring bread home. Wish there were more Chilean restaurants!

The food is flavorful and they do a good job at keeping the dishes authentic. Pebre (Chilean salsa) and home baked bread is brought out first. I would not skip trying their empanadas which are oven baked. I was pleased to see their mayo is homemade as well. The ambiance is cozy, seating is limited so I can see how wait times may become an issue. Service was great, they were attentive and helpful when we had questions. read more

Drove by looking fue a new breakfast place and stopped in here. Inside is nice and comfortable. New wait staff was trying his best but we had to bug him for almost everything he forgot to bring. Felt bad for guy and went without water since he nor anyone else offered a refill. As for the food, it was nothing special and I was not a fan of the "toast" which was more like a hamburger bun. The bacon was chewy and not tasty and I was charged extra for it without my knowledge. I ordered fries as a side at $5. Café con leche was also extra. They auto tip 15%, which I hate! Please let me choose my own tip. Thank you. In conclusion, between food, service and cost, I will not be having breakfast here again. However, I may visit for other meals. read more

Visited for the first time and was not impressed. Ordered the Seafood empanada and did not like the sauce. The Churrasco a lo pobre looked appetizing but the meat was chewy. Their sauce to eat with the bread is delicious however ! What should be improved is the service. There are enough people working there however they mostly walk around and you have to call them for water or other. It is apparent they hire but do not provide training. read more

Pamela's is good if you like heavy creamy sauces. The place is always fairly packed but when we arrived there were a couple of tables available. Service is very slow but good... meaning friendly and personable. The food itself was okay... I ordered erizos en salsa verde but they didn't have any... so waitress recommended the choros en salsa verde which were very bland... the salsa verde was basically onions and cilantro.... lacked salt and flavor. Empanadas were good and had lots of meat and or chicken. Fried Chorio (king clip) with rice was very good, simple but nicely fried and not greasy. Chorio en salsa de erizo ... again fish was cooked well but the sauce in this dish is overwhelming. Very creamy and a bit heavy... same for the Corvina in clams sauce... basically a ton of cream. I wish I had maybe ordered the sauce on the side to control the amount of sauce that goes on.... the sauce takes over the hole dish and being fish... it actually gets lost. read more

I used to like this place a lot. Came here on a Friday night with a reservation. Got here before my reservation time. Still had to wait an hour. Sat multiple people before me. Didn't offer any alternative except " i don't know how long the wait is" but they told me this from super far away with just hand gestures. So no one wanted to talk to me. Bad experience. Bad customer service. Wouldn't recommend read more

This is my favorite Chilean restaurant in Miami. My dad's been taking me here since I was 5 years old. So now it's a must whenever I come to Miami. The staff are always very kind. The food is also so delicious. I don't get to eat in the restaurant side often. My go to is picking up some empandas de pino, some chilean breads, and chilenitos all to go. Pastel de Choclo is my favorite dish to get when I do stay and eat. I'm never disappointed when I come to Pamela's. read more

Best Chilean restaurant in Miami. The attention is incredible, the food is exquisite full of authentic flavors. The best we have tried in years since we visited Chile. We come several times a year with the family to celebrate some special occasions and it's better every time. We recommend the seafood empanada, seafood bisque, churrasco a lo pobre, and above all the wine. Can't wait to come back! El mejor restaurante Chileno en Miami.

Autenthic Chilean food and bakery. My family has been coming here for years to grab empanadas on Chilean independence day. They are always the hit of the celebration. Finally, we decided to stop by for dinner on my Grandma's birthday. The dinner was delicious and super affordable. My family had a great time reminiscing about their favorite traditional dishes in the menu. I had the pollo en salsa de champiñon and it was amazing. You are able to select your wine from the shelves in the market area of the restaurant. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for $10! The night ended with a birthday song from the staff for my grandma. The only reason Im giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the wait service. Their staff wasn't the most helpful and they almost prefer you help yourself. However, once they knew we were there to celebrate (i.e. spend some $) their demeanor changed. I definitely thought it was notable but not enough to detract from the experience. As well, good luck finding parking in the plaza. It is always packed and you kind of just need to wait until someone leaves to snag a spot. Overall, if you are a fan of Chilean cuisine or looking to try something different, I recommend stopping by Pamelas. read more

I grew up in this area and always knew of this restaurant, however never got around to visiting. It's been in the same unassuming location for decades. And its is working beautifully for them. I came with my Chilean friend and she fell in love. After having grown up in Switzerland and visiting Chile during holidays and for vacation she felt an incredible sense of nostalgia. She couldn't rave enough about how authentic the ambiance felt and looked. Beautiful decor. How equally authentic and delicious and fresh the food is. Service was impeccable, yet casual. Unpretentious. Felt like home. Also, very busy on a weekday night which proves the quality is there. Busy but not loud. Most patrons were Chilean. This was a very pleasant experience. So much so, my friend called me a few weeks later to ask me the name to recommend to her Chilean friends when they visit Miami. A must go! Authentic, authentic, authentic!!! read more

This family owned restaurant have the real Chilean taste. You can't miss the caldillo de congrio nor the Chilean beef empanada or the Avalon's carpaccio entree (locos en salsa verde). Delicious! read more
