Latin American Restaurants near Kendall

“I love Peruvian food, this place has the best Lomo Saltado and Chaufa rice in town. The plates are plenty of food, the Jaleita appetizer is big and delicious not too greasy, crunchy, and very tasty. The tostones with shrimp and guacamole are very good. If you want to eat well Peruvian and Venezuelan fusion food go to Bocasgrill Kendall you will have a good experience at a reasonable cost and great service, Thanks Luifer.“

“Their food is insane. Amazing everytime I've been, always quick, great service and sometimes they have a musician. Highly recommend any time of the day. One of my favorite spots in Miami; I would also like to note the bad reviews are with little to no input, maybe their tastebuds are damaged?“

“I highly recommend this place, because I went last weekend and I felt very good. I was served by a lady named Greyci, who was very attentive and friendly. The food was also very well prepared and very good tasting. , anyway. I had a great time“

“Came here off a tip from my local Uber driver, Ponly. He is from Cuba. When I asked where I could find some authentic food from south of our U.S. border, he suggested that I come to Bocas House. It is where he comes with his family for birthdays!Definitely the vibe I was searching for.The entire staff seemed pleased and happy during my visit.Stefani did an amazing job at service!I wanted to try as many things as possible, so I ordered the “parrilla mixta” and everything was wonderful! From the steak to the chicken, blood sausage, and the chorizo, very good!!!It is an excellent meal, with great service, and affordably priced ✔️“

“We loved this place, the food was delicious, Sebastián our waiter was very friendly, always very attentive, he gave us very good recommendations about the food, and the drinks... we had a pitcher of passion fruit mojito and it was very delicious. The very cozy atmosphere. Sitting on the patio was the best choice ?We will return?THANK YOU SEBASTIÁN, you are doing your job very well ?“

“Super delicious food! The roast chicken is prepared in a way that all the chicken has flavor and is not dry, it was very good. For dessert I recommend the churros with Nutella and arequipe, they were super delicious and Marianny served us very well ✨“

“Literally some of the best for you I've ever had in my entire life! If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, stop scrolling, and go here immediately. You may have to have a small weight, but it will be well worth it. The prices are low, the quality of food is high, there's nothing more that you could ever ask for in a restaurant. Do yourself a big favor, and go here multiple times.“

“From Boston, short vacation and was really impressed with this new restaurant. We don't have anything like it in Boston. Menu was overwhelming for someone like me although I have been to Peruvian Ceviche places before but this was terrific Thank goodness we had a waiter who was patient and explained it all and although many of our questions may have frustrated him, he took the time to see what we liked and guided us perfectly. The enviroment was large but really interesting and cool. Just wish they open one of these in Boston, it would be a big success Highly recommend the experience“

“The restaurant decor wonderful.The waitress the best. The food was excellent, fresh, presented tastefully with an orchid. The music was very good, but not for dinner at 8pm, maybe for a club at 12mn. It was so loud we hurried up and ate to get out. The music that loud was a major distraction. It totally ruined the great experience.“

“I haven't had a chance to dine yet but the airport pickup, check In desk, and bar service was great! I just love Yuri at the bar energy and welcoming spirit! Everything so far has been great. I will do another review after my hotel inspection. So far so good!“

“A little pricey- about $50pp. This is a plate of food, 2 beers,and a soda for 2 people service charge was also already included. Small tables outside. Very small restaurant inside. May not be able to accommodate large parties. Parking is a HUGE issue and may be expensive after 9pm on the weekends. Staff is helpful and always attentive. Food is authentic and VERY GOOD!“

“Everything was fine, except that the air conditioning was too low. The food was cold in a couple of minutes, they explain that this way they avoid condensation on the floor due to the difference in temperature between the kitchen and the living room, but I think that such delicious food should not be eaten cold. I hope you find a solution for this.“

“The food here is amazing! Our new go-to spot. Fresh and so delicious. We always get the Super Picada, Hamburguesa Especial de carne and the Monster. I absolutely love their pan de bonos also. Best around, in my opinion, by far, and I'm picky!“

“Today I had one of the best service experiences I have ever had, the waitress Mary served me, an example of VIP service, fast, knowledgeable about her work since she explains each dish in great detail but above all, friendly, helpful, efficient, with workers like her, any business advances, thank you. Mary, I give you 5 stars.“

“Excellent place, I really liked it, I had been wanting to come for a while, we took advantage of the trip and we were able to come, you will not regret anything, the food is excellent, the attention is not to be said, if you want to be served in the best way, ask for Américo, he will serve you in the best way. shape .“

“It's a family business, serving Cuban food, with a welcoming vibe. The host is warm and kind, she has that abuela energy and we are up for it. She communicated with us in English and explained the menu patiently. She gave us the guava pastry, on the house, it was not on the menu, some of her friends brought it for her and she shared it with us. So nice of her! The food items we tried were tasty and were presented nicely. You should definitely check this place out if you’re around.“

“First of all, service was great in general all staff very attentive, Michael took care of us in the best way possible he even offer us combinations not on the menu excellent service, Gracias. Food you can't go wrong with chaufa I added a Churrasco as a combo for $25 both can't beat that., you can even share if you are not that hungry or if don't eat a lot cause they serve a lot. I'm adding a picture of it and also of the grill octupus + skirt that my wife ate, she ate it all she was shocked about taste and price for such an excellent plate. Atmosphere excellent there was a live singer very good one, plus very funny. Thanks again Michael for such a great service.“

“I got their carne asada tacos which came with chips (which were perfectly fresh and had the right amount of crunch) salsa and guacamole. And everything was flavorful. I came just before closing and when I thought they wouldn't offer to make anything, they were very kind and said they didn't mind so customer service is 10/10. I would recommend this place to anybody.“

“Had the avocado toast and the sponge vegetable appetizer. Lots of flavor. Server was very polite and prompt.Only thing I didn't like was they added tip automatically. I understand if it is a large party, but I was solo. I don't believe it is fair to force me to pay extra. It is supposed to be earned.I normally tip more than 18-20%. Because they automatically added it, I did not give any extra. The waitress lost out on a better tip. I assume this is a corporate thing because of foreign tourism where tipping is not normal.“

“I was looking for a good Peruvian eatery for a while now… I love it here it really reminds me when I would eat chifa in el barrio chino en peru. :) i love the way the soy sauce is flavorful within every dish, especially the may fun singapor noodles (favorite!) workers were nice and friendly, and the ambience itself was beautiful and culturally accurate“

“Hey there! I just wanted to share my positive experience at Pincho Factory with you. During my recent visit, I was really impressed with the service I received from the lovely woman who took my order. She was so polite and professional, always maintaining a smile throughout the interaction. It really made my day and added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. I just had to pass along my gratitude and appreciation for her excellent customer service. If you're looking for a great dining experience with top-notch service, make sure to check out Pincho Factory!“

“Cute place with indoor and outdoor dining. A little too cold insidefor our taste, so we sat outside. Alex, our server was wonderful, very sweet and informative. We ordered the ceviche party lovers triple ceviche (Corvina). All 3 were delicious!! We also had the black risotto with shrimp and octopus.....WOW!!!! One of the most delicious entrees ever!!!! It was AMAZING!!! Everyone agreed we will definitely be back!!“

“Besides been a little over the top, the food its really good. The milkshakes and the hamburgers are the main attention getter, the rest of the menu holds its own. My brother got the damn hamburger and oreo shake, i had the bandeja paisa and green tea with passion fruit. With tip, it was over 100 dollars but it was decent quality and not something we would eat every day.Parking: Shopping plaza parking lot. Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp in parking lot. Plenty of space to get in.“

“One of the best food trucks around.I got the chicken. It was great.I recommend them. Next to the gas station.12.16.23:I read some of the negative reviews about size being too small on sides. I understand. Cuban people eat a lot. So, I will listen and make them bigger. Problem solved.“

“the food was delicious!! the place is small but cozy and clean, the service was very friendly and fairly quick although the food is fresh. there was definitely seasoning and flavor in this food which is sometimes hard to find at mexican restaurants nowadays. will definitely be returning again!“

“I tried jaguar for the first time last week and it did not disappoint! I think what really did it for me was the service, my server Gabriel, was so attentive/helpful. He told me to try the merken sauce and it was 10/10! Will be returning soon!“

“Hidden gem near FIU. Great blend of meats on the burger. Burger was not greasy but full of flavor. The pickles are the best pickles I’ve ever had on a burger outside of Au Cheval in Chicago. Will be back! TBH everything was so good I wouldn’t even want to go to another burger place.“

“I am very surprised with the taste of the food, the portions, the ambience of the restaurant!!!! It's much better than a restaurant that has a lot of fame!! And I'm not going to say the name!!! The restaurant is very nice, I recommend it 100%!!!!“

“They may not need another positive review, but here it is: if you want authentic Cuban food with waiters who will also most likely have an authentic thick accent and who may even help you discipline your malcreado child isn't polite then eat here. My 88 year-old Cuban American mother approves.“

“I went the other day for the first time to order some take out pork and my god, it was amazing! The ladies are so nice too and patient, specially Claudia, she really is a lovely lady. Thank you so much for making this amazing food and Claudia thank you so much for your service, if you aren’t already, you should be the manager, you’re awesome truly! ☺️ Needless to say, I’m coming back for sure!“

“Absolutely amazing! Traveled from Texas and had the luck of finding this bakery ! Five star! Cubano was amazing! The beef empanada best flavor I have ever had in an empanada! Don’t miss out! Not only good food but the staff was friendly and sweet! Ohh and don’t forget the COFFEE!!! Thank you the big TEXAS family!“

“No frills Cuban restaurant with walk up window for take out orders! Food was good portion inexpensive but a little bland which could probably of been corrected with salt and pepper but I got take out and forgot to ask for it! Mainly Spanish is spoken here with some broken EnglishParking is plentiful - lots of other Cuban Restaurants in this area! Would go again and just request more spices on my meal !Parking: In a strip mall easy parking!“

“The food was good. I ordered cachapa catira. It was tasty. The place is very nice, the service very good. I liked it all. They have breakfast all day, they also sell frozen things. They prepare green juices and also desserts. I recommend it“

“Probably the best empanadas I've had in Miami! We are not from the area and stopped in for something quick and so happy we did. We had the La 10 which we gave a 10! Three Spinach is unbelievable 10+? and then I had the guava and cheese as my dessert 10. Super happy! My husband had the Beef which he gives an 8, La 10 which he gave a 10, and tomatoes and mozzarella which he gave a 9. We both got lattes and they were good but we are coffee snobs which is why I don't say it was awesome. Overall, we look forward to coming back!“

“If you're a fan of croquetas such as myself, "Dos Croquetas" is absolutely a must-try when visiting Miami. Some might ask "what exactly is a croqueta?". In simple terms, they are about the same size of a mozzarella stick, deep fried and usually filled with béchamel sauce, mashed potatoes, cheese, and meat. In fact, the options are endless with thousands of customizable creations. They are a very popular side/appetizer in the Latin culture and are a great quick snack to eat on the go. Located directly on 8th St (Calle Ocho) in between SW 15th & 16th Ave. in the heart of the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami, this place has been dishing out delicious croquetas since early-2024. I came here on a whim (during the afternoon of Sunday 3/17/2024 at 1:30pm) as I was craving a small bite and this place absolutely delivered. As far as the exterior of the building, it was quite easy to find due to the colorful array of forest green with a splash of pink and yellow on the awning. The interior brings that same colorful artwork which truly give this place a Miami vibe. Their menu offers not only Cuban craft croquetas (in 10 different flavors) but also sandwiches, sides, breakfast (served until 4pm), and Dulce dessert bites. They also carry craft shakes to cool you off on the sweltering hot & muggy Florida days. Since this was my first time trying their food and didn't want to go too overboard before dinner, I ordered just (1) of the "305". This croqueta had Cuban-styled picadillo , sweet plantains, and queso blanco with their signature dale sauce. Total price, only $2.20 before tax. Service was quick and my snack was ready in just a couple minutes. As far as the taste, this absolutely hit the spot for me. Crunchy on the outside while warm, cheezy, and savory on the inside, this was absolutely delicious and actually tasted like nothing I've ever tried before. They offer so many other delectable croquetas including "Medianoche" (pork, ham, & swiss), "Mexican Street Corn", "Creamy Spinach", and much more. They have very respectable hours being opened Sunday-Thursday from 10am-10pm and Friday-Saturday from 10am-12am. With the exceptional service, prime location, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices, I am giving the Little Havana "Dos Croquetas" a perfect five stars.“

“I needed a pineapple cake last minute for my husband’s birthday and even though they were not open on Sunday, they made it for me and went to the store on Sunday morning just to deliver it for me. The cake was delicious and everyone love it and asked where I got it. There are not enough words for me to use to recommend their service and their going way above and beyond to take care of their clientele.“

“Great experience, ambiance, and food at a great value. We ordered the 1lb Parrilla, Brazilian fried cheese, cheese bread (which was more like cheesy bites but still good), rice and black beans, Greek salad, yuca fries, and regular french fries. I had a mojito and my husband had a Heineken. My mojito was very strong, I ended up ordering two. Overall we enjoyed every part of the meal, my very picky 8 year old daughter enjoyed the food as well. The inside of the restaurant is nice however, it was very busy so we choose to eat outside. We enjoyed the peacefulness and cool weather. I wish I'd snapped a picture of our meal but to be honest we dug in as soon as it arrived. The staff was nice and attentive, I do want to note most primarily spoke Spanish (not an issue for us but just a side note). Overall, I highly recommend!“

“First time going to this family restaurant and I loved it!! I'm peruvian, and I was craving Desayuno Lurin and tamal!!! I remembered a family member who highly recommended this place. I can't even start to tell you how good it was!! Pork was so soft and juicy!! Tamal was one of the best ones I've had in Miami!!!! The couple that owns this little piece of Peru in kendall are really kind and make you feel home!! I truly felt I was back in my country eating a delicious desayuno lurin with my inka kola!!! Even if you're not peruvian, I strongly suggest this place as a must if you love peruavian food!!! They have picarones, pan con lechon, and even pollo a la brasa!!! I'm definitely coming back!!!! ❤️“

“? Quick and very friendly service, quiet and clean environment and by the way a lot of variety of drinks such as tea, sodas and soft drinks. Everything is okay.Vegetarian options: Salads and others.Kid-friendliness: I didn't see games but the kids love the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wide, there are no ramps but I don't know that it is necessary because it is on the first level, there is total access to the entire premises.“

“Just had a lunch there yesterday with my mother. The prices were reasonable. The food portions were good too. Great variety of food and quality was so fantastic. My mom had the Tostones and I had the Picadillo which was really good and so delicious. Super tasty food and very decent. The restaurant has amazing atmosphere, inside has nice decor. Plenty of tables and spacious too.“

“Good food and service. They charge 3.99 % for paying with credit card or check card. Is this legal. They automatically put on your bill even if you are paying cash. How many people don’t catch this and just pay the extra charge. Really sleazy to do that!!!“

“This restaurant was absolutely spectacular! The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. The atmosphere was great and I highly recommend the octopus! The atmosphere is great and it’s the perfect place to come for happy hour with friends! 10/10 “

“Nice patio outside, the food was great! We tried the Peruvian rice with smoked pork and plantain and it was pretty good! The fish ceviche was wonderful as well, loved the calamari on it. Checked in on Yelp and got a free glass of wine. Some servers only spoke Spanish so they had to get another server to translate. Other than that we really enjoyed the food!“

“I tried the Toston burger and it was delicious. I loved the idea of ​​replacing the hamburger bun with banana. In addition, all the ingredients were of very good quality. All the staff were super friendly. I will definitely go again. Highly recommended!“

“It was a takeout order…on time (BTW, who says it will be ready in 16 minute's, right ?) Great and unique Jalapeño Delight Burger and love the crunchy fries !!It’s not one you want to eat before working out…I’d rename it “The Sit on your couch with a cold beer and watch a sports event Burger” !!Parking: Hard to find parking during meal times“

“Discover this phenomenal sushi restaurant located in Coral Way in Coral Gables, the decoration is so vibrant displaying a unique decor in every corner. The wall art and the figurines in the wall are fantastic too. The chairs are all different and the ambiance is very welcoming as well as the lighting, the venue has a lot of space and also offers outdoors seating. I loved the menu because it features photos, description and an interactive menu presented in a tablet with many choices including Latin/fusion dishes, signature rolls, sushi for big groups hot/cold teas, desserts and much more... I ordered the Marlenita and Santori signature rolls and they didn't disappoint. The pieces had a generous amounts of salmon, avocado and it was were perfectly prepared and crafted. I really loved each piece and the presentation was on point. I appreciate Esteban exceptional customer service. He was hospitable, attentive, and very professional. I will definitely return to try the signature bowls and eat more edamame!! Ps. The ice cream was soft, the Nutella made every bite delightful“

“Their ropa vieja shredded beef with rice was seasoned absolutely amazing! The sauce for the ropa vieja was very watery which made the rice have a very almost wet effect like weird watery rice. A little off but the meat and the sweet plantains were very delicious. Customer service was very nice. Staff are very kind people here and the tiny establishment is colorful and very cute. So much stuff to choose from inside the glass case.I never knew about this place and I'm just glad I discovered it!“

“This place has one of the best fried or grilled chicken in Miami, `To Go’ is the best option because of the small seating space. Their specialty is ‘Pollo Campero’, full of flavor, crispy on the outside and tender inside, never greasy.“
