My husband picked up food from here to eat at home. I didn't go inside so can't comment on the ambiance or service but the food was fantastic!!! The gallopinto was great, queso frito was a 10/10. The highlight were the carne desmechada and churrasco. Absolutely flavorful and perfectly cooked! The tortillas are a bit too thick for my liking, but that is how Nicaraguan tortillas are. Overall food was a solid 10/10! read more

First time ever having Nicaraguan food and I'm gonna go ahead and say it.. Best carne asada I've had in Miami! Amazing food, friendly staff, and I loved the lounge area where you can vibe after getting food. Little Havana you've done it again! read more

Pinolandia - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

If you are looking for Nica food this is it, one of the best Nicaraguan food restaurants I have discovered in South Florida. The system is very simple, make a line, ordered your food, pay and if you like, you can dine in... there is a seating area inside the restaurant. All meals are prepared "to go", so the choice is yours. We ordered the carne asada "completa", this dish was served with rice and beans aka "gallo pinto", queso frito aka "fried cheese", sweet plantains, tortillas and coleslaw salad. The staff is nice and friendly mostly spoke only Spanish and if you like to ordered beverages you must enter the little store across. We got "rosquillas", nacatamales and cacao. Everything was yummy and tasty. The meat was tender and the rice was fantastic, everything tasted delicious! This was a unique Nicaraguan dinning experience! read more

Not much can be added, this place stands on its own and has no need for anyone's input, locals and Nicaraguans alike come and order tons of food. It may be a caveat if you are in a hurry, as the lines are long and service is slow. The plus, meats are charred while you wait, and grilled chicken is made to order. Apart from the very good flavors of the rices, there are many extra dishes that most fritangas don't carry. And the assortment of drinks, juices, and cheeses, is larger. This is definitely a good place to visit. read more

Best meal I had in Miami!! 5-stars-ALL the way..hands down.. BEST take-out food option to pick up on your way to the airport.. In-n-out ASAP!! BEST BBQ food I had in a LONG TIME!! The carne asada was almost perfect and the rice and beans were also super yummy, along with their plantains.. and I'm going to have to read their menu for the make of their grilled cheese!! The place is far from fancy and I didn't see a menu anywhere..but they cook the food in front of you while you're ordering.. If you want to try some Central American food-specifically Nicaraguan food. Definitely check out Pinolandia. Idk if they have any seating.. In my rush to the airport, I forget to get something from their bakery..and couldn't sample some of their messier options.. read more

Great food, great portions, and open 24/7?? I'll be back for sure! Not from Miami, but I've been telling everyone about it lol

As soon as you walk in you have to make a line to order your food. I ordered carne asada, gallo pinto and queso frito. The food here is an authentic Nicaraguan food. This meal is like $20 a plate. You also have an option to go to a little store next to the restaurant. In the right side of the restaurant is where all of the seating is at if you wish you eat there. I only go here if I want to eat food from Nicaragua. The parking is free across the street. This place is usually opened for 24 hours. read more

I'll try to keep it brief. I generally avoid reviewing restaurants when I use a delivery service because you miss out on the dining experience and the food changes while steaming inside a closed styrofoam container. Today I'll make an exception. My carne asada, gallo pinto, and maduros were top notch!!! Among the best meals we ate this whole vacation. The steak was so flavorful, juicy, and tender that my pitiful plastic cutlery was easily able to cut it, while still inside its styrofoam container. The plaintains were the best I'd ever eaten, uniformly soft and lightly caramelized. Gallo pinto was perfect. I'm not sure how to review the cheese, it was kinda rubbery and squeaked when I chewed on it. I'm inclined to believe this was related to the whole delivery process. I'd try again if I dined in, but ordering delivery, you might want to pass on the cheese. No pictures, sorry -- I devoured the food not expecting I write this review. read more

Pinolandia has completely fallen off. What used to be a solid, filling plate is now a joke. They serve a pathetic scoop of gallo pinto and two tiny, rubbery pieces of steak that you have to fight to chew. The flavor isn't bad, but that doesn't excuse charging $18 for a plate that wouldn't even fill up a child. If you want an actual meal, you're forced to order two plates, which is outrageous. This place is clearly cutting portions while jacking up prices. Total rip-off and no longer worth going to. read more

Great fritanga! We've been going to Yambo for years when a friend told us to try Pinolandia. We had to give it a try! Pinolandia has a couple locations and we tried the one in the Riverside area! There is plenty of street parking but beware the street in front of it get busy! Inside there's the food bar which you order from then there's a room to the right with plenty of seating if you decide to eat there. There is also a little market inside with yummy drinks, snacks and food. We ordered the carne asada, gallo pinto, queso frito and platano. We also ordered a side order of chicharron. The chicharron was a little dry but the portion was big! The food was great. Once portion is enough to share. I also really like the vinegar sauce we got, it's very tasty! Highly recommend Pinolandia for an affordable meal with large portions! Don't forget to try a juice at the market inside! read more

Traditional and authentic Nicaraguan Fritanga served to order. Amazing food, they serve a lot of quantity and the quality is great as well. Huge selection on snacks and juices. The cacao is the best!

There's a reason why Pinolandia is always busy with a line! (Worth the wait) One of the best around, Authentic Nicaraguanaan food, taste home-made! The shredded beef was tender, full of flavor and not too salty. The rice and sweet plantains were cooked to perfection! Always generous portions! Be patient with finding a place to park! The Carne Asada was tender, juicy, flavorful and also a generous portion! We will definitely be back! read more

Wow the quality of this place has gone down, I've been coming here over 10 years, La califad de este lugar como Cambio, La carne muy gruesa Lastima $15 para botar la carne. $15 dollars for something I cannot eat. I ate the rice with the hot sauce that was fire, the plantains always soggy, even the service the women barely say hi or smile. read more

nicaraguan food can be hit or miss, but for this place, you will not regret your visit. I recommend trying the carne asada if you can!

These people are ripping customers off that pay with debit card!!!! have never been to this place before. Went cause my son wanted me to get him an avena and torta de pan. When I order the avena I see employing putting a bunch on drink, I asked her no ice, which she took off. When I asked how much, she says $13.00 the girl next to her at the counter says no, it's $13,50 With no ice. Get my receipt and she charged my debit card $14:07 as base price Plus taxes. When I asked her she says that how machine works. WHAT???? Then she proceeds to say if you pay cash you don't pay sales taxes and the addition $1,00 won't be charged ? WTF, they collect cash which they don't report, I'm sure. And yet have no sign in business stating this. Some government agency should pay them a visit. read more

Tried and true. Been coming to the OG location since it was a single stand, before they expanded. The food and price are unbeatable for the quality and amount of food you get. Some of the best gallo pinto in town. Service is quick and effective, no frills, just tell the ladies at the counter what you want and keep moving. It's busy, loud, fast paced, and perfect. read more

A masterclass in humble, heartfelt cooking. This isn't fine dining--it's something far better. It's street food at its absolute finest: bold, honest, comforting. Every bite tells you it was made with real love, not just skill. The kind of food that doesn't rely on pretension--just fresh ingredients, time-honored flavors, and someone behind the counter who genuinely cares. The portions? Generous enough to feed your stomach and your soul. The price? So affordable it almost feels like theft (the good kind). This is the food of the people--peasant food, if you like--but elevated to something extraordinary by hands that respect the craft. Warm, hearty, unpretentious, and unforgettable. Skip the white tablecloths. This is where the magic is. read more

Amazing authentic Nicaraguan food at Ana amazing price. Delicious and clean. Service is great and food is fast.

I have been looking for food similar to Fritanga on Sunset (if you know, you know) and this place is it! The price is great for the amount of food you get. I love their food it's so tasty! I've only ever ordered delivery from them, so not sure about in store service. 10/10 recommend read more

This is not my go-to Fritanga, However I can't stop into MIA without getting Nicaragüense food! I had an overnight layover with a super early flight abroad and was staying near the airport. So I decided to Uber over to Little Havana to get dinner as my go-to spot is way over on Flagler! The lines close to 9pm was out the door so you k ow I was excited because it had to be good. I got a typical carne asada, Gallo pinto, fried cheese, plantain and canola salad. The flavor was on point and I sorely missed this since Tampa is lacking Nica Food...However... I was shocked the meat was a little tough. Too tough to cut with my plastic knife. 5 stars for flavor but 2 stars for cheap meat not marinated long enough in naranja Agria. read more

This place is clearly the spot! It was the highlight of my trip! I got the Carne Asada with Gallo Pinto and Queso Frito. SO much food for $17. My favorite was the meat, which was perfectly medium rare and the picante sauce, which I would definitely ask for extra of. I thought the cabbage salad was too salty and honestly, the queso frito was unnecessary for me with the amount of other food. Next time I will have to try the juices! Ambiance is exactly what you want it to be, with a mesh of locals! read more

Pinolandia never fails me when it comes to fritanga! One, it's open 24 hours so you know they're reliable and always available unlike your ex. Yes the portions have gotten smaller throughout the years and prices higher but the flavor is just as delicious and it's still one of the top carne asadas for me. It's not overcooked, perfectly pink on the inside, tender and the plátanos are never burnt. The gallo pinto has loads of flavor and 2 can easily share a completa. Their picante can be spicier and the salad could have more vinegar but that's not what we came here for anyways. The taquitos here are also delicious and if you're feeling like having a full course meal, make sure to go to the back for a chia drink and grab a manuelita for dessert. read more

Whenever I visit Miami, I always make a point to stop by Pinolandia. It's hands down the best fritanga in the city! The flavors are just out of this world, and the portion sizes are so generous that my husband and I can easily share a plate. It's impressive how much it's changed over the years. What used to be a little hole in the wall has transformed beautifully. They've added a seating area, making the ambiance really nice and inviting. My go-to order is their carne asada, gallo pinto, tajadas, fried cheese, and the Cole salad. Every bite is just heavenly. Omg, so delicious! read more

Pinolandia is the go to fritanga in Miami. With several locations throughout the city, there's bound to be one close to you. The food is ALWAYS consistent. The carne asada is tender and flavorful. The gallo pinto is fluffy and never dry. I love the combination of sweet and salty between the sweet plantains and the queso frito. The team here is always quick to serve you and they do it with a smile. The place lacks in terms of decor but this isn't a spot to come and take IG worthy photos, let's be honest , it's about how great this food is and the portion sizes which are AMAZING! read more

This is a hidden gem in little havana /Flagami area Nested on NW 12 Avenue is always packed Don't get fooled by the facade as i did, many years just passing by and one sunday i decided to try (and very glad i did) First, fin d a parking space in the streets and head to the business to get in the line (there no phone reservations available) after a few minutes later, you get in front of the big displays brimming with good food and start choosing what you want to try: I went for the carne asada with queso frito, caldo de res and carne desmenuzada. The Carne Asada (flank steak) was juicy, flavorful and abundant, comes with gallo pinto (rice with beans) and maduros (ripe sweet plantains) topped with a big sliced of golden fried cheese. The Caldo de Res (Beef Broth) was nothing but flavorful and generously seved with a big piece of rib meat, yuca, corn and vegetables, thick soup that hit the spot on my soul. The Carne Desmenuzada (Shredded beef) was the ropa vieja version but more moist and bigger pieces, also comes with either white rice or rice with beans and sweet ripe plantains. All meals comes with a cabbage slaw and hot peeper sauce to enhance your meal There is dinning hall nearby if you choose to stay for eat there, but my food was to go, so i came, waited in line, order , picked and paid Quick and easy. There also a market on the back stocked with a little bit of everything. The place is open 24 hrs and perfect for a late meal Many more food items for discover awaits me. read more

The food is great but the service is terrible. You have to fight with them to give you hot sauce. We order 4 order of steak and they will only give you one little hot sauce. Don't let them treat you this way. Get your hot sauce. We usually order on Uber eats for pickup. Apparently their policy is one hot sauce per order, not per steak. So moving forward we will place all of the orders separately in order to get one hot sauce with each order. Doesn't make sense that we have to do this. read more

This is such a gem! Carne asada available 24/7? And affordable too? Count me in! It was a little intimidating to order as they take orders in Spanish but we were able to get by. There is a small convenience store inside the restaurant and I got the best horchata I've ever tasted from there. It was sooo good! Highly recommend! read more

I forgot to snap a picture!! Anyways, the smell of bbq on the street was very inviting. It's cafeteria style so you choose just what you want. The black beans and rice had so much flavor!! The shredded beef and carne asada were delicious. The side of plantains pulled it all together. There's a bakery inside with fresh juice and baked goods! It was so hard to choose! We got the melon and tamarind juice. My fav!!! The pineapple empanada was sweet and satisfying. I'd love to come back and try the chicken and fried fish. At least, I think it was fish. I don't speak Spanish, and there is no posted menu, so I just pointed out what I wanted. Lol They were all very nice! read more

Today we went early morning to buy breakfast. The eggs with chorizo didn't have any flavor, my husband bought a fried tortilla with fried cheese which they call repocheta, the price was so high for that type of food. And I've ordered an order the carne en baho, let me tell you, that was the worst one I've tried in my whole life. The meat they didn't even cut it the way carne en baho should be cut. When I saw the lady serving that ugly, big piece of meat I thought it was a big piece of yuca; just imagine the way that meat was cut and cooked, and didn't have any flavor at all. I think they should hire a better and more professional chef if they want to keep their customers!! read more

Was looking through yelp for good food around the area since I was visiting with friends in Miami. Found this restaurant and we decided to give it a try. It seemed like a lot of locals come to this restaurant and we felt like that was already a good sign! We ordered the gallo pinto plate which came with beans and rice, carne asada and the pickled veggies with the queso frito. It was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. The rice was also well seasoned. Everything was so yummy! The restaurant was kind of hidden and we walked past it so be sure to keep your eyes peeled! Would definitely come back again if I were to visit Miami again. read more

Over hyped place. Staff is beyond RUDE here. Eye roll, rushing you, attitude and talk to you like you're not paying for your food..smh. I would tolerate it if the food was worth their BS attitude but it's NOT! Gallo pinto had hard undercooked beans, lomo relleno was ok, carne asada had a good taste to it, pollo guisado was bland and the queso frito wasn't even fried properly. Cacao taste nothing like what cacao should taste like. We try to eat at Nicaraguan restaurants whenever we go to a new city or state but none have been able to match San Francisco's Las Tinajas. They have set the standard and no one else has came close. We had heard a lot about this place by all our in-laws and friends but SOLID PASS, food is not worth being treated so rudely. Con el modo pesado que tratan a los clientes aquí deberían de servir comida que valga la pena aguantar maltrato. read more
