El Bajareque Restaurant

Had a great experience and enjoyed my time at bajareque with a nice frozen lemonade. The waitress was very helpful and attentive. She brought us bread with garlic sauce. Then we ordered our food, which was well seasoned. The place was like a "cafeteria" nothing fancy, but they make it up with a well priced menu and good food.Tuve una gran experiencia y disfruté de mi tiempo en Bajareque con una rica limonada helada. La mesera fue muy servicial y atenta. Nos trajo pan con salsa de ajo. Luego pedimos nuestra comida, que estaba bien sazonada. El lugar era como una "cafetería", nada lujoso, pero lo compensan con un menú a buen precio y buena comida.

Amazing food. We had bacalaitos as an appetizer, Chuleta KanKan. We shared both and were stuffed. The chuleta was cooked to perfection as we're the gandules and mofongo. They'll be seeing a lot more of us very soon and very often.

Food: 5 Service: 2Ambiance: 6 since it's near Wynwood there's def a lot to do while checking this restaurant out.

Their food is great! Everything! But the empanadas babyyy - the best. These are authentic, delicious and good sizes. The shrimp is a must and the pizza is great and not found in other places usually. Definitely recommend.

Delicious Latin cooking and fantastic quality! Very affordable and nice service! You'll like it

What a gem! It's very hard to find comforting food in the Midtown area lately. With everything including restaurants feeling like it lacks either quality,Portions or affordability, I get real happy when I find a spot near me that embodies what Miami was 10 years ago. This reminded me of the Miami I grew up in and is now a new favorite. It's a small hole in the wall and it was packed on a Friday afternoon for lunch but we got seated very quickly. They start you off with pan con ajo which was warm and left me satisfied. I got the Friday special of the day which was rabo encendido (stewed oxtail) with arroz con gandules (a must at any Puerto Rican spot) and maduros to cut the salt. My friend got the camarones enchílados which was also a Friday special with a side of Mofongo. I wish they had sweet mofongo which is my favorite. I tried my friends and it was just too dry for me and had big chunks of pork which is typical for salty mofongo. That being said, it was the best salty mofongo I've ever tried and it came with a side of garlic vinegar which moistens it a bit. It was the perfect side for the shrimp as it comes with a lot of sauce. I found the portions to be a little small compared to other Latin spots nearby but the flavors were out this world. Both our specials were $15.50 and I did not leave a single grain of rice on my plate. The ox tail was fall off the bone soft and the rice had on point seasoning. I enjoyed everything about it and we onlyPaid $36 after tip for two dishes. A steal in Miami now a days. My new favorite Puerto Rican spot in Miami!

Its got a good cozy local ambience. The staff was friendly and greeted us with bread which was delicious. Where this nice spot fell short was 1. They messed up both of our orders. We even had an english speaking man at our table while we were ordering. I had ordered the smoked pork chop and it was clearly fried. Bear ordered the crispy chicken sandwich which was grilled. Okay whatever not big deal. But my rice was bland, and frying a pork chop is just wrong. Her chicken sandwich was mostly lettuce but otherwise not that bad. I guess sometimes you get what you pay for but slap some seasoning on that shit!

This is such a great spot for breakfast or lunch. They have great specials and make the most perfect coffee. The service is really good. I stop in every chance I get. The ambiance is great too. If you have a chance I recommend trying them out.

Always the very best of everything!!!! Just read my previous reviews ‼If you want to try authentic Puerto Rican food that is not only going to satisfy your taste buds but also your soul then this is the place where you need to come and eat

My favorite go to!! This place is the definition of that whole in the wall experience! This is the spot you go when you want amazing food for a great price & it's just not found easily... in other words, this place is a gem! Every dish is made with love & if it isn't they never hesitate to make it right for you! It tends to be busy often so please be patient because you'll leave happy! My all time favorite is the bacalaito!! The mofongo, tamale & alcapurria is always a hit! Any of their meats & seafood will be enjoyable because they bring that Caribbean flavor every time!! I've been coming here since 2018 and I can't believe I've just now written a review! Although this is the place you want to gate-keep!
