    Empanadas
    Christopher V.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Plato Montañero

    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 a place full of little treasures.

    My place to go when homesick Food is bc consistently good and taste is close to home. Place si getting crowded and expect a short waiting time on busy hours. But the estar will accommodate as quick as possible. The staff is friendly and able to provide any extras you might need to make enjoyable your meals. Note this is a typical Colombian restaurant with unique decor, you can find treasures there, snacks, art crafts, little things to made you smile and remember Colombian charm.

They boast both indoor and outdoor seating with the same aesthetic and nods to Colombian culture, like the cute hats and sandals hanging on the wall. We were seated inside fairly quickly on the Sunday afternoon we came in. They were pretty busy, but the waiters were kind of hanging out at the bar, just chit-chatting. We were able to get one of the servers to look at us after a couple of minutes of sitting there. They brought us a little palate-opener of a small portion of a simple soup. They had a margarita special we tried, $5 frozen margaritas. The maracuya (passion fruit) one was a solid choice. I also ordered the mojarra frita with white rice, tostones, and salad. The rice was really undercooked. The waiter tried to appease us by bringing us more of the same uncooked rice. We were not the only table to say something about it because our neighbors confirmed they too received the same and were also unhappy. Other than that, the rest of my meal was great. However, I will say my mom was very upset with her experience and expressed that her chicken wasn't prepared well either.
