Pinolandia is a South Florida staple…read more This is a chain Nicaraguan restaurant and this location; like all the others, is located in a shopping center with other restaurants right off of University & Pines Blvd. We did not have to wait long because we arrived at a good time, but everyone was waiting for their carne asada to be freshly prepared. I stopped by here with my cousin and her friend and we all ordered the same meal. Carne asada (steak), rice & beans, fried cheese & maduros (sweet plantains). I also ordered an extra cheese to eat with the rest of my food because I had so much left over and a large freshly squeezed passionfruit juice. My cousin's friend ordered a chia and tamarind juice which was also delicious. The staff here were nice. This restaurant is very casual and the food is served behind a counter similar to Cava and Chipotle but there is not much seating available so the restaurant gets pretty full. I would recommend ordering the food to go if you're not in a rush. Overall a good experience and I will definitely be back to Pinolandia

First time visiting here, and I decided to give it a shot despite hearing mixed feedback. I want to…read moreshare my experience. It was a Monday afternoon, so let's start there: - The welcome was somewhat lukewarm; the staff member cleaning in the back didn't greet us when she saw us, which would have been nice. - I ordered the lengua (tongue stew). It was cooked perfectly, but it was only lukewarm to my preference. Overall, the taste was good. - The tajadas and mariquitas weren't crunchy--they were soggy. - My wife ordered carne asada and asked for it well done, but it arrived medium. Maybe in a Nicaraguan restaurant, temperature isn't a big deal--"just eat it," as they say! Decor it's pretty simple with touch of Nicaragua culture. I encourage you to try it out, but don't expect Miami Pinolandia. Support Hispanic restaurants! Thank you!"

Don't let the simple appearance fool you this place can COOK! We'll definitely be back.

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!
