    Absolutely great! I don't eat Nica food just anywhere, and this is one of 5 spots I'll be going to! It's that good! (Honorable mentions are Madroño, El Novillo, Fritanga Montelimar and Cerro Negro). Cacao was great, reprochetas (fried quesadillas) was so good, but their Pío Quinto dessert (custard-topped rum cake)...phenomenal. One of the best I've tasted. Great price point and Great service as well!!

    Delicious food and friendly service. Menu has a lot of good options to choose from. The tostones were very good and can be shared. The Gallo Bowl was so flavorful and came with a lot! Ambiance is like being in someone's home in a way - it was very nicely decorated. Everything tasted authentic!The waiter was friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back!

    One of the best carrot-orange juices I've had in Miami! I also enjoyed their carne asada bowl, which I had tried before. What stood out during my second visit to this restaurant was the service, the servers are attentive and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place.

    This was my first time trying Nicarguan cuisine. Lots of Central American restaurants to try in Miami. We got the appetizer sampler ~$36 as our main meal. It was more than enough for two people and we still took some of them home. There were a variety of appetizer, almost everything from their menu. The seasoned steak was my favorite among them. Fried plantains were good to munch on. The green sauce was tangy. We also got Tamarind juice for drink and it didn't disappoint.

    Churrasco with gallo pinto and maduros
    Caridad L.

    The place is really cute and welcoming. We ordered the Spotted Tostones. Delicious full of flavor and meat. For entrees we ordered the churrasco medium rare (it came well done) but the taste was good. Also ordered the reader chicken breast. It is huge !! The food was very fresh and the spice pickled veggies they serve as a sauce was good

    Unfortunately, the food was not what I expected. The cheese and plantains I ordered were fried with a dark oil that we had to squeeze with napkins. The soups were in bad taste, especially the cheese soup that was salty and the donut refried with the same old oil. Very unpleasant.

    We love this place we dine in and take out often. I'm plant-based and make my own meal out of different sides. The yuca is always so soft and delicious. Gallo pinto is outstanding and the slaw is perfectly tart. My kids enjoy the kids chicken tender (not frozen nuggets) comes with gallo pinto, fries, and fried cheese. My husband usually enjoys the churasco or grilled chicken steak with gallo pinto, slaw, and tajadas. The service is always great, constantly checking up on us and filling our waters. The colors inside are so pretty and seating is ample and comfortable.

    Amazing place and will be back. Very small but we were seated right away on a Sunday. Food was delicious and got there with not waiting so long. Service was really good and decent prices. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back and try other dishes.

We started with melon and dragonfruit drinks which were like aguas frescas. For starters we tried the Taquitos and Chancho con Yucca and they were excellent. The pork tenderloin chunks in the Chancho were done well and had a tasty coating of spices. We loved the chopped cabbage. We also liked the pulled beef in the Taquitos. The fried beans were creamy and delicious. In fact, everything on our plates was delicious! For mains, we had the Fajitas de Carne and Lengua en Salsa. Both were very good. I haven't had a tamale in a while so I decided to try the Indio Maiz; the sweet corn was good as was the sour cream and soft cheese. Yum. I really enjoyed Maranos. I may have been the only gringo in the place :).

The portions were good in comparison to Los Ranchos and the steak was extremely flavorful and soft. They also have a selection of sauces for the steak or your meal. The service was great. Our only complaint was that they served canned beverages. If you are somebody that drinks a lot of soda, the bill can quickly get expensive. We love Nicaraguan food and frequently dine at other places but this restaurant by far is the best. The wait can be long on the weekends with larger parties so just be aware of that.

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.
