    Rabo encendido
    Alfredo R.

    What's good yelp back with another review the food really depends I've eaten here quite a few times this time around I went and got the Rabo encendido and it was okay I expected more of a blast of flavors wasn't it but it was at a good price for a lunch special. The service nice as always no complaints there at all. The area it's located in Calle 8 in a plaza specifically dedicated to the restaurant and the club it has on the side plus a shipping company dedicated to Colombia nice restaurant though definitely shows its pride in cuisine dedicated the their country.

    Absolutely insane restaurant. Stopped in for some quick coffee and ended up staying for over an hour. Service was excellent, his name was Sebastian. We spilt a coffee and within 5 seconds we had 3 employees helping to clean it up. Empanadas, guava donut, cheese bread, steak and eggs... I think anything you get will be out of this world. The atmosphere was special and will be back we ever find my way back to Miami.

    Sancocho De Res Con Arroz

    The best local colombian food joint. And that says a lot for me! I say local because it's in my area so it's easy and convenient for me to just call in. The sancocho de res is delicious and perfect made. And the empanadas are fresh, the aji to top it off is super spicy and a perfect combination to the soup and empanadas

    Colombian restaurants rarely disappoint, San Pocho has been a go-to in Little Havana for years. Inside they have a cute mini market with Colombian products, plenty of tables. One of the most remarkable things about San Pocho is the speed of the service. Our waiter was attentive, the food comes out FAST. Faster than any restaurant I've been to in Miami. The food is delicious, the only reason I didn't give them five stars is they overcooked the chicharron on my Bandeja Paisa. Great place, check them out.

    After moving to the area, I was looking for a good place with good food that doesn't break the bank, San Pocho delivers. The service was spot on during the busy lunch hour. Most tables were taken in the big restaurant at about 2 in the afternoon on a weekday. Always a good sign. The clientele varied widely too. I ordered from the Daily Lunch specials and was very happy with my choice. The meal came with the main protein and three sides. The chicken was super moist and fell off the bone. Overall, this is a great choice for lunch and probably dinner. Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu.

    Every now and then I get a hankering for Colombian food and San Pocho was the perfect spot to scratch that itch. Located on southwest 8th street and 9th avenue,, this Colombian Restaurant has a pretty large size seating area. We showed up late and they were closing soon but that didn't stop from getting friendly service. We quickly ordered so as too not impose. We started with empanadas de carne which were nicely stuffed but unfortunate were over fried. They were nice enough to bring out new ones for us and they were delicious. I had a Bandeja Paisa which just has everything you need to get over a hangover. And no I wasn't hungover but it's one of my go to for after drinking meals and it works. So take that as a tip. From steak to arepa to chicharrones this plate has everything. And it was all delicious. And when in Rome, I had to wash it down with an Aguila (Colombian beer). The place also has a small market which instead of sticking around for dessert, we opted to grab a bunch of Colombian candies and desserts from the market. They had a great selection and the kids loved choosing all the candy options. Overall a great spot that I recommend for good Colombian food.

    We're Colombian so we really know what we are talking about, the food was bad , service was good and there is no ambience at all.

    Plato Montañero
    Marco R.

    My friend and I arrived at this recommended Colombian restaurant, for lunch, the reviews were nice too. The ambiance is simple but organized, the restaurant is spacious and is also a Colombian grocery store. We were immediately seated, service was friendly and welcoming. I never had Colombian food. Due to this, I basically ordered a Colombian food sampler, called Plato Montañero. It came with three proteins, your bread (arepa), and three side dishes. Being in Miami, I had to order Cuban coffee with milk. The dish included a big Colombian beef steak (thin cut), Colombian sausage link, and Colombian fried pork belly. The side dishes were beans, rice and fried ripe plantains. The meats were nicely seasoned, the pork belly was nicely fried and the skin was crispy (pretty much like filipino lechón). The rice was nicely cooked, the beans had pork belly in them, so they were very tasty, to top this off, the dish had two small pieces of ripe fried plantain. Everything was tasty, really like it!

    This is the owner many complaints against her check google review.
    Eddie G.

    The owner is the most disrespectful and arrogant person I have ever had to deal with I can't believe her attitude. I work very close to many family and friends that eat there they won't anymore. As I was leaving today the same owner was trying to kill some insects from the bar area.Visitors be careful homeless outside lock your vehicles and don't go after dark.

    Always good service, free parking if you go at the right time. The food is Authentic homemade Colombian food. The soup is very good, the chicken and beef stew are also very good along with the sweet plantains. The rice is good but a little too salty. They give good portions at reasonable prices. They also have authentic Colombian desserts, figs with caramel! They also sell imported Colombian candy and other food items to go. We are regulars there for a reason.

    The moment I walked into this place is forgot that I was in miami. Wow it really looks like a bodega from another country. The food here was delicious too. I want to go back and try their sancocho.

    Listen when you have a few drinks on you and it's late at night on a Friday and you need some food because your stomach is growling what could you ask for than to find a "better" than fast food joint right next to the bar you walked out of. This place only cooks burgers, hot dogs and dies late at night and what else would you need at that time. Colombian burgers are know for their size and amount of toppings and options as well as the hot dogs. I usually have the burger with a fried egg or the loaded hot dog and these will hit the spot every time. This is not a fine dining experience but it will serve its purpose when everything else expect maybe Taco Bell or other fast food joints are open and you don't want to wait a long time at Dennys, just saying. Food comes out very fast, service is also fast and it's cheap so what's there to complain about?

    This is a place full of little treasures.

Our server was friendly throughout the evening and the food was pretty quick to come out. I didn't know before coming here but Cafe La Trova was listed on the Top 50 Bars of North America for 2026 and so I had to get the Buenavista drink which is highlighted as their award winner. Admittedly, I was let down by the drink. The balance was a bit off and overall I wasn't very impressed. However the food more than made up for it. The ropa vieja was very savory and the avocado cream was very zesty/citrus which helped cut down some of the richness of the dish. My only note would be to give some more avocado cream since there were only 2 little dollops. The Arroz Con Pollo was excellent! Super flavorful and I could eat this everyday and be happy. The tomatoes and olives add that extra bit of acidity which was perfect. The live music also added to the ambiance and so if you're someone trying to get that local Miami/Cuban vibe, I think Cafe La Trova is it.

I went to the hostess stand and told a manager what happened and he could care less. Living in Miami I knew service was going to be bad for the rest of the meal so for the first time ever we just got up and left. I left a 1 star review on Google Maps. The reason I'm leaving another one on Yelp is that they responded to the other review telling me to email them to continue the conversation. I did it 7 days ago and they completely ignored it which tracks at how customer service is handled here. I suspect the same thing will happen and I'll have to leave another review on a different platform. I think something happened at Cafe La Trova where they're now just some corporate entity that's cashing in on the goodwill of the brand but they will eventually run the business into the ground. No one is at home here.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!

We won't be going back, and based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. It felt like the priority was upselling rather than providing good hospitality.

It is named for the brigantine Nancy, which transported war supplies during the American Revolution. The room the bar is located in was small, dark, hot, and crowded.

It was decorated like the Captains quarters with a couch and comfortable chairs. I could still enjoy the music and more importantly, the air conditioning. During the night I had a delicious Amaretto Sour. Despite the dive bar surroundings, it was a hefty $15.
