Fritanga 505

I ordered from this place on UberEats which I have done before with no problems. My order was incorrect and the meat was extremely overcooked and chewy which was already upsetting. Nearly finished with my meal and I find a small roach cooked into one of the beans in my plate! I called the restaurant and they insisted it was impossible but that thing was cooked!

This my local go to Fritanga. Let's just say I drive all the way from kendall to Fritanga 505 for my carne asada dinner or lunch. If you are in area and want to try authentic Nicaragua flavor this is your spot. My go to dish is carne asada, Gallo pinto, a queso frito, tajadas and ensalada de repollo. My brother enjoys the cerdo asado with white rice. Oh and I almost forgot to mention to always make sure you have Chile.

The food was excellent. The place is not very attractive, but worth the visit don't let the exterior appearance stop you from having a very good meal

Great little Fritanga spot in Sweetwater. They are located in a very small strip , no frills plaza. Don't be put off by the surroundings, this is as local as it gets when you're craving some genuine Nicaraguan food. Portions are huge, prices are awesome, and the staff is no nonsense. Their selections vary daily , but the best bets are their Carne Asada or Cerdo Asada. The side choices include boiled yuca, plantains, mashed potatoes or plantain chips. Make sure you grab some of their cabbage salad and picante sauce, which adds a nice zing to your meal. If you have a sweet tooth, pick up their rice pudding or one their pastries. All in all, it's a great little joint and an easy meal when you're just too tired to cook. Two combos were enough to feed our family of 5!

it's been hard finding a good fritanga lately, this place really hit the spot. Went in at around 8pm and the food was so fresh and delicious. I usually am not a fan of gallo pinto because it can be dry, but this one was perfect! The fried cheese pieces are HUUUGE ! This will be my go to spot when craving nica food.

Hidden in Sweetwater close to FIU you can find this Nicaraguan Fritanga place that really caught me by surprise. Don't be fooled by the looks of this place, the Nica ladies who run this spot provide amazing food and were super nice. It looks like a to go spot when you come in but you can eat the food there. As in a lot of Latin places most the food is already prepared for you & on display for you to choose what you want. The servings are generous and the prices are as cheap as it gets. I had your typical Nica combo. Carne Asada ( Grillled Beef Strips) ; Gallo Pinto ( Rice & Red Beans ) ; Ensalada Repollo ( a vinagre coleslaw ) ; Tajadas ( plantains like Tostones but more like long chips ) and may favorite part the Queso Frito ( a fried Cheese ).The carne asada beef had to be the most juiciest tender pieces of meat I've ever had at any Nica restaurant. The Gallo pinto was fire. If your ever in that neighborhood you should really try out the food here.

I just realized I haven't written a review for this place and I've come here a few times already! One of my favorite fritanga places in Miami. It's close to FIU campus so drive over for a quick and filling lunch to go. For a great price, it's like you're paying for 2 meals. It's more of a to go restaurant since there's only like 2-3 small 2 seater tables inside. Parking can be very limited since it's in a very small plaza. The staff is friendly and I'm always greeted with a smile. I always get the Carne Asada with Maduros and rice/beans. Don't forget their side of their cabbage slaw! The acidity from the slaw balances nicely with the heaviness of the meal. Everything is flavorful and the meat is tender. Gotta get a side of their hot sauce too! Before I left for my clinical rotation outside of SoFlo, I knew I had to stop by here one more time because it'll be awhile for the next time I have some good fritanga food again. Go check this place out and you won't be disappointed!

Just got two plates, one was cerdo asado (charbroiled pork strips) and the other was pollo al caldillo (kinda like chicken stew) , the pork was way over cooked and burnt in some parts. It comes with Gallo Pinto which was bland, fried plantains strips which were oily and dark like the oil needed to be changed before frying, also traditional Nica cole slaw which was good. The worst part was the price 14.00 dollars for Fritanga food. Out of curiosity I called Monimbo Fritanga and their price was 10.17 (actual price I was quoted over the phone). Don't really know how the chicken was as that was for a family member I don't live with and didn't ask them, but that was also 14.00 and basically same sides. The price at Monimbo was also 10.17 for that plate. I will never go back to Fritanga 505, plus the lady that served me was very upset that I asked not to be given any burnt pork, so that didn't help....

Best Fritanga in my opinion. Everything is good here. Their tacos, carne asada, quesillos, and nacatamal es!

The foood was delicious. I dont know how Nicaraguans season or cook their steaks, or if its flank steak of what cut of steak it is, but it's addicting, scrumptious and extremely affordable. Plus fried cheese and the salad. which always comes in a little plastic bag . Loved it.
