The Most Scrumptious Colombian in Miami

Pueblito Viejo

★★★★☆ 3.7 (348) • $$

"I took my mom and family to this establishment for Mother's Day, and we had an absolute blast. We had a large party, and made sure to arrive early on a Sunday because as you can imagine it gets busy.When we parked, I was glad they had valet, which takes the guest work out of arriving and leaving so that was cool.We were at the door and sat promptly, which is also nice, and despite the crowd celebrating moms on their special day, the service did not suffer on the contrary everything from the taking of the order to the delivery to the follow up was on point .The food was amazing per usual for this location and moderately priced, considering the amount of servings and the quality that went into the ingredients . The first thing you noticed, when you walk in the wall decor in the ambience, which gives you so much to enjoy while conversing and eating .There were 'trobadores' which are pretty much entertainers that go to the table singing in a folkloric vallenato style about the folks at the table. They don't roast you, lol don't worry. But it was the highlight of the meal and definitely added to the authenticity and experience at the restaurant. Anyone who has traveled to Colombia knows that these folks live to liven a party. Was a fantastic experience, and I highly encourage anyone to go and try the food whether it's a special occasion or not"

Garden House Latin Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (236) • $$

"Garden House is a good alternative to the different restaurant options in Miami Beach. It is not our favorite but we had a good time during our 4th of July stay. It's much smaller than it looks in photos. There is a small outdoor patio and and small indoor area. We opted to sit outside which is a lot cuter. I didn't like that the floors were all wet and it took a long time for service but other than that the food was great. We loved their seafood platter which was only about $30 which came with fish, shrimp, calamari, and fried plantains. It was delicious. When we came on 4th of July night it wasn't busy at all. However I hear it gets pretty busy during the weekends so reservations is recommend since its smaller. We always just park in the nearby parking structure."

"No matter the time of day, this place is packed! Cute little spot on the 1st floor of the City 24 residentialBuilding, they have a nice outdoor dinning area & always play fun/cheerful latin music. Definitely gets you in a good mood! I've gone on weekends after the gym for a quick bite, after work with friends and ordered take out. I do find it a little over priced for basic latin food, but i guess it makes up for ambiance & portion size. My favorites are the soups & the empanadas, i've had friends rave about the bandeja paisa, i agree that it's delicious but the portion seems to feed 3! The staff is friendly, and orders typically come out quickly."

El Mega Chuzo

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (231) • $$

"We visited this restaurant located in North Miami Beach, they serve Colombian cuisine. We ordered a few dishes, we really wanted to try the coconut lemonade, the coconut lemonade was fantastic not overly sweet just right, very refreshing and really good.As for the food we got a house salad, the tostones rellenos mixtos and the chicharron con arepa. I also ordered a portion of avocado.The tostones were delicious, they were served with a generous portion of meat, the chicharron had good flavor, the arepas also tasted good. Two things I didn't enjoy about my overall experience, first the cleanliness of the restaurant. There was a sign by my seat that the floor was wet but no one took care of it. The second thing was in regard to the bill, there was a convenience charge added on the bill, and the tip/service charge was already included. (No where I couldn't find which percentage was added) and when I pay there was another suggested service charge, something very confusing. I understand is a restaurant policy but it needs to be explain on the bill for future reference. The staff were super professional and friendly. Everyone was very attentive and welcoming. Limited parking available inside the plaza."

"Fantastic colombian bakery. There arent very many in the area so I feel very fortunate that this one is close by and I can get it delivered to downtown as well!Highly recommend the empanadas, almojabanas, and buñuelos, which are all made very authentically. Dont forget the ají for the empanadas!"

"This is a solid family restaurant! So much so that I went twice this weekend! Tucked into a corner of Coral Way and just off 22nd Avenue, I stopped in Saturday while on my morning jog. Around that time, I was one of maybe three other customers and stopped to watch the world cup. I sat down, almost in line with their very large screen TV and watched France beat Belgium while enjoying their timely water refills (I was working out), sweet fried plantains and a generously larged, well done pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken breast). Of course, I also enjoyed an espresso.Fast forward to taking mima to lunch Sunday. When I was there Saturday, I saw mostly families and mom prefers typical Latin comfort food dishes. Today, I did indulge!We were attended by the same friendly staff and got a nice corner table also with view of the TV. World Cup matches had finished, and they were nice enough to change the channel so that I could watch the NFL games (Go Dolphins!!)My Sunday supper was their Churrasco. A very large piece of smoky flavored meat that covered a lot of plate real estate (and had to take half as takeout), complemented with three large crispy tostones and their red bean soup (frijoles Colorado) all indulged my palate as the Dolphins win indulged my sports fandom. The egg on the steak ("a caballó") was nice and runny for extra flavor and protein.Why would I leave steak? Well their yuca fries were nice and crispy; put together with Papa Colombiana (a baked potato with a melted cheese sauce) was too good to skip. Besides, I had to leave some space for their creamy tree leche dessert (and another Cortadito)."

"Despite seeing the rating prior, I was optimistic about the food because as you can see from the picture, the burgers actually look good. My optimism was met by disappointment. The food wasn't necessarily bad, but I personally like to feel the food was worth the high calorie intake. The food was decent not considering the price. However, considering the price I don't think I'll be back. If I had to recommend something, my favorite item was the sausage in the salchipapas which are accompanied with not so good fries. Maybe the food items to get here are the arepas, not sure as I didn't try them. The food truck is open late so I can see how after a night out in the Wynwood area the food may taste a bit better."

Los Antojos Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (137)

"Over the weekend I revisited this restaurant and I'm so glad to mention that the food, the service, and the wonderful staff is still providing a wonderful service.Came back for the bandeja paisa and the empanadas! Thanks to the staff for helping celebrate my bday and for singing to me! Ps Your Halloween costumes were incredible! I loved the new signs and the added outside seating. Please play more vallenatos! :)"

Fonda La Chismosa

"5 star food, 4 star ambience, 33 star service. Terrific Colombian food right in the heart of Calle Ocho.5 star food: just about every Colombian food staple is on the menu. Calentado, even though usually for breakfast ( rice & beans, chorizo plus fried egg) is unbelievably good here.4 star ambience: inside it's slightly tattered but authentic. Outside it's the vibrant main stretch of Calle Ocho.3 star service: service here was ok but slightly strange. At first I thought it was my John Wayne accented Spanish that was the problem, but even when my Miami Cuban dude partner took over, service was still hard to come by here, almost needing to tackle someone as they wandered about the main room"

"This is my go-to Colombian spot. As a half Colombian, I appreciate the ambiance and decor that very much reminds me of our Pueblo in Colombia. The food is tasty and authentic and the service as always exceptional."
