Muy feliz con este lugar! Amante de las medialunas, son las mejores que probé en Miami. El sándwich de Mila y el Lomito están okey. El servicio está bastante bien muy amables todos!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch while on vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our empanadas sitting at the outdoor bar in the beautiful Florida sunshine. I decided to try a rogel for dessert and it was the best thing I have ever had- so much so that my husband went the next morning and got more before we embarked on our cruise. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area!

Some of the best empanadas we've had on this side of Miami. Such a great variety, filled brim to brim, and exquisite homemade fillings as well. We tried the short rib, beef chimichurri, 4 cheese and smoked bacon. The latter was a bit underwhelming, but may have been that it was not warmed hot enough (cheeses not melted). The others, however, were OUTSTANDING! Great seasoning/flavor, but not overboard. The dough is such perfection that it's hard to put into words. Gotta try them. We came here every single day of our trip. Service was mixed - a gentleman at the cash register one morning was really NOT having a good day; however, the other times we had a sweet blonde young woman who was so courteous. Ambiance is casual, but located in a great area of Brickell. Both indoor and outdoor seating is a bit limited, but adequate for small groups of 4 or less. Many people were just ordering takeout when we went. Definitely one of our new favorites in Miami!

Got some to go, take back to Dallas...absolutely delicious!

In love with this place, literally the best empanadas in the World! A cute little shop, tables outside and inside, a vibe inside, with a great playlist. The display of the fresh empanadas, so many choices. It was hard to choose. We asked Vanessa, the cashier, she was so sweet - my favorites, hands down, the sweet corn and the beef chimichurri. Melt in your mouth, savory, flaky, buttery, tiny bit of sweet from the dough. Perfection!

I swung by A Family, a Argentinian empanada spot, after a nice long walk with friends! The restaurant features a fast casual dining experience and displays all of their empanadas to help you make your choice! Service was fast and friendly. I was able to get recommendations and it didn't take long to get the items I ordered. I ordered a four cheese empanada and their traditional empanada. I liked both but preferred their traditional one most. I also ordered an iced matcha which was on the pricey side and unfortunately made incorrectly. The matcha was not completely dissolved in the water and I had chunks of powder in the drink. I recommend staying away from the matcha but trying their empanadas!

My sister had this location saved to her Miami list, so when we realized it was directly across from our hotel, we had to come visit. This cafe is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by the friendly staff and the inviting atmosphere that felt like home. The simple decor and the scent of freshly brewed coffee and pastries added to the relaxing ambiance The menu had a nice selection of affordable handcrafted empanadas, medialunas, and other pastries, that were all beautifully displayed as well as freshly brewed coffee, juices, water and soft drinks. The service was impeccable. They were very attentive without being intrusive and even provided us with a slice of carrot cake when our order was delivered to our table. I can't wait until my next trip back to Miami, just to visit again.

A Family advertises itself as some of the best empanadas around town & honestly it certainly does live up to that. Ive had several different empanadas here during my short trip in Miami & was not disappointed with a single flavor (& there are many of them)! One of my favorites definitely was the short rib but I also liked the chimichurri steak one a lot too. All in all, whenever I'm in Miami/certain areas in Florida, I'm 99% sure I'll end up here at least once.

Ordered 5 empanadas to go. Got the cheeseburger, sweet beef, curry chicken, empanada of the month, beef chimichurri. I tried the sweet beef and the cheeseburger empanadas. There were no indicators of which empanada is which so I randomly grabbed two of them. Sweet beef: 4/5 was really juicy and there were raisins inside Cheeseburger: 0/5 was really sour, there was alot of yellow cheese inside. I didn't finish this one. Parking: there weren't any street parking and the parking garage next to the business is like $16 for 1 hour. I called in and they recommended me to park at Brickell City Center. You can park there for free for 20 mins. The walk from the Brickell City Center to the location is like 3-5 mins. If you take longer than 20 mins, it is like $6 for 1 hour. Hygiene: one of the doors to the business was wide open, they had like a door stopper there. When I was checking the empanada displays, I saw a bug in one of them, did not order any empanadas from that display. They also had like a bug fan that was spinning around. After I placed my order, they started replenishing the empanadas on display, so they refilled the empty traditional beef empanadas which I thought were out of stock. Probably won't be coming back here again. Don't really like the Brickell traffic, felt like it's not worth the hassle to get empanadas from here and I'm a little skeptical about the hygiene. There's also a lot of construction around the area.

Nice little spot to grab pastry with good quality and fair prices! It's a little store front with a few tables out front and a counter inside. Wasn't too crowded when we went so we ate in and the smaller space was perfectly fine. Two empanadas + a brownie was around $15. Let me tell you about this brownie though. It had a thick layer of dulce de leche and this delicious torched marshmallowy topping. The texture of the brownie itself was a delight with soft insides and a light crunch to the edges. Drooling thinking about it. Argentinians are the champions of cute little sweet treats and A Family is a case in point. Will be back!

Robert S.

Great empanada spot on Brickell. We got the four cheese and smoked bacon empanada as well as the short rib empanada and they were delicious. All of them were less than $5, which for Brickell is not a bad deal, especially with the quality of them. I like the Argentinian empanadas a lot, since the filling tends to be more dense and having a lot more vegetables and funky things as compared to Caribbean empanadas. Good spot !

We wanted to store our luggage in Miami while we explored the city, we found that the closest location to us was in A Family restaurant. Not only did we find a bright, clean place to store our bags, we found THE friendliest staff, delicious empanadas, and youthful, fun vibes. You should stop by.

Christine Z.

This bakery was located right next door to our friends' hotel, so they picked some up as a pre-lunch snack before meeting up with us. They have so many flavors and I wish I could have tried them all but sadly we had to save some space for lunch! We got 2 boxes of empanadas and deciphering the flavors was a bit interesting. Each flavor is a different shape and they gave us a legend which shows which shape corresponds to which flavor. Since some of the shapes are similar, we weren't too sure between some of them but not a huge deal. I got the beef chimichurri, spinach & mozzarella, and prosciutto, mushroom & brie and all three were delicious. Overall, the perfect spot to grab some empanadas to snack on!

Pauline S.

If you're in Downtown, you have to go to A Family for their empanadas! I ordered a dozen and a half to go for our friends to try out. They heat up the empanadas so they're fresh but it doesn't take too long to get your order. They have sooo many flavors but what stood out to me the most were the Sweet Beef, Beef Chimichurri, Mushroom and Mozzarella, and the Short Rib. I really appreciated that they had a list of flavors with pictures so you can differentiate them in the box. There's only a few seats available inside and a couple of outdoor tables. Thankfully this place was walking distance from our hotel but I only noticed some street parking. If we're ever back in the area, I'd definitely order some more Empanadas from here again!

Great Food, usually go here pretty regularly, but DO NOT order via Uber eats. The restaurant uses their own delivered service to fulfill the order. If they do not deliver it (which was my case tonight) Uber will not assist you until the restaurant marks the order as complete. Which has still not been done 2 hours post being notified that it was "delivered" by the restaurant via text message. Tried to call the restaurant through the Uber app and the phone number has been disconnected, so I guess I'm just stuck here. read more

if you like being tricked into tipping 15% because you were in a hurry, and didnt notice that they set their iPad POS tip-screen set to "15%", by default, instead of letting you chose, them these are your kind of capitalist-merchants. (Theres no ambiance. They keep the interiors freezing so customers dont sit down -- this is so they dont have to bus tables and sweep the floors -- which eliminates one payroll.

Okay, I really have to revise my original review based on my own perception of this place. The food is still good, the atmosphere is still nice, but I can't stand stupid personal questions one of the employees asks me every SIGNLE time I step into that place!!! Like it first happened around 2 months ago and I really stopped going here with my family, but today I thought I'd stop by to grab a toast, and you know what?! The same server asked the same question that is NONE OF HER BUSINESS! And had she asked me that question in a different maybe slightly more polite manner I would have probably let it slide, but no, twice it was so freaking awkward so I had to tell her she really has to stop bothering people with the questions like that. Never coming back, this place has to educate its workers on appropriate topics to talk to customers!! read more

I was preparing a pic-nic so I had to go for a variety of sandwiches and pastries, so I decided to give "A Family" a chance. The gentleness of the service (not only with me but with everyone around me) created my first positive impression. Then I was attended by Ana, one of the owners, who shared with me that all the breads and pastries were baked in house, with their own recepis brought from Argentina (from Rosario actually) where they have been running businesses for 40 years. The sandwiches were indeed delicious and the key was the quality of every single ingredient. We took the Onion brioche with salami and cheese (can't stop thinking of it while writing), the PBT (an Argentinean classic but with their own style) and the Triple Miga (niceeee). But do not stay in the sandwiches. They had other must try bread-based delicacies: do not miss the Matches (Argentinean Fosforitos)!! Then the pastries, the Pasta Frola, the alfajores, the Rogel!!!! Go for them. In a neighborhood where everything is trasnforming into huge restaurants (90% Italians, explain me that), making everything fancy, glamorous and expensive, this is a story of a family running businesses for 40 years, full of sacrifice, but always with passion for cooking and serving. Being in the food business for that long is not a coincidence, is because you are committed to doing things in the good way, is because you take care. And this was what I felt in my first interaction with them I wish A Family the best, and we will see you again soon. read more

I was going to leave a 1 star review but the boy that worked there changed my mind about this place. Upon walking in you don't get greeted you just walk in and seat yourself, ok no problem. My wife and I don't get served until I walk to the front counter only to be greeted by a young lady who CLEARLY does not want to be working in a restaurant. I ask her do I order here or do I wait for someone. She said oh yes someone will be there. Meanwhile the people behind us got served the moment they sat down. I've seen this type of service at Sagrado where the owners friends and owners get served before anyone else, total disgrace and disrespectful form of service. Anyway, the boy who waited on us was excellent. The food was decent and the coffee was great. We got there around 11:45am by 12pm (the busiest time for any food place) the poor guy was there running around alone cleaning tables, making coffee, taking orders while the lady who was previously at the front desk was sitting with someone watching it all happen. This is poor timing you do these things before or after lunch. This is brickell the service here is excellent for the most part. If this does no improve at this place I guarantee you the place will be closed down like the previous 3 places over the past year. Good luck and make sure you keep that boy on staff! read more

I can tell the 2 employees are overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with orders. The sole person responsible for this issue is the owner, you need to do better.

Beyond ridiculous, again I'm not blaming the employees it's the OWNERS FAULT. Hire more people.

Alright, where to start here...everything was absolutely excellent!…read more Parker rolls (3.5/5): going to start with the weakest link. Yes these are viral, no they are not mind blowing. Deliciously fluffy and great with butter but they are still just dinner rolls. Hokkaido scallops (5/5): honestly one of the best bites of food I've had in years. The sweetness of the scallops, slight spice from the sauce, and balanced with pickled ginger...perfection. No words after bite 1, near tears after bite 2. Agnolotti (5/5): get this. The corn, crab, sauce...everything about this worked. This is like a healthy work environment where everyone lifts each other up. You'll get the sweet, the chew, the softness, the salty. Just get it. 26 oz ribeye (4.5/5) with peppercorn sauce (4/5) and bone marrow vinaigrette (5/5): okay so this dish was our main and it did not disappoint. You can definitely taste the beefiness from the dry aging and that alone was enough. With the peppercorn sauce it was great. BUT with the bone marrow vinaigrette, that took this steak from "really good" to life changing experience. Kouign amann ice cream sandwich (5/5): if you've never had a kouign amann, it's like if a croissant and a cake had a baby. Add in some ice cream and this dessert would've had to choke me to death on the way down to not get a 5/5. I'm alive and arguably more than ever after eating this platonic concept of dessert perfection. Get this! The restaurant was beautiful, interior looks like an NYC steakhouse while the exterior outdoor seating is very Miami. The service was some of the best I've ever had. Every server was knowledgeable, friendly, and you felt like they all really enjoy being here. Overall, if you're in Miami, you have to come here. One of the best dining experiences I've had in years!

World Cup traffic had us running 30 minutes late for our reservation, but huge props to the host for seating us on a packed night. They gave us a 90 minute limit, which worked out great for our flight timeline. We were seated outside at a tiny 2 top table (maybe it's a Miami thing). While the courtyard setup is really pretty, the tables are squished so close together. When you order as much food as we do, it's a tight squeeze and feels a bit uncomfortable (and risky for dropping dishes!). Plus, Florida heat + the abundance of flies they had outdoors is a thing. Our waitress Vanessa made sure we got all of our dishes quickly so we could make our flight. Food we ordered that are a must: Parker House Rolls (that honey butter dip is addicting), Caesar Salad, Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, and the Blue Crab Agnolotti (my absolute favorite dish of the night). Paired it with the Circus Permit cocktail which was super fun. Food that I would skip: Sent back the duck terrine. The duck steak fell flat despite all the hype, and the yellowedge grouper was covered in way too many leeks for my taste. All in all, a solid 7/10 vibe with a friendly bar up front. I'd drop in for drinks and a few specific plates, but it's not an absolute must repeat for me next time I'm in Miami.

Just finished our 6 day anniversary cruise and my wife found this Bistro from the reviews. This was a brunch stop before hitting the airport. We started off with mimosas, my wife had the cotton candy mimosa and I had the margarita mimosa. Great way to start off, they were delicious!

The food was AMAZING! We definitely got a little carried away ordering because everything sounded so good, and for just my husband and me, our bill came to around $150. The portions were MUCH bigger than we expected, so I'd actually recommend ordering a little less than you think you need because you'll leave stuffed! That crème brûlée French toast was truly CHEF's KISSSSSSSSSSSSS! I would fly back just to have it again! The drinks were great too, but let me warn you... that Cotton Candy Mimosa is SWEET. Whew! If you have a serious sweet tooth, you'll absolutely love it. The atmosphere was such a vibe. The music was right up my alley, and the entire restaurant had such a fun energy. On top of that, our servers were phenomenal and made the experience even better. One piece of advice: get there EARLY. We arrived shortly after leaving our cruise and were seated without an issue, but while we were there, I heard people being quoted anywhere from a 30-minute wait to over an hour. If it's your last morning before heading home, that may not fit your schedule, but I can honestly say it's worth the wait. Amazing food, great service, fun atmosphere, and an experience we'll definitely be coming back for. Bistro's Cafe has earned a permanent spot on my Miami list!

We ordered a piña colada and an old fashioned to begin, the manchego croquetas for an appetizer, and we both got the t-bone. The croquetas is our favorite appetizer, they are always super yummy and come with a guava sauce. The t-bone was very juicy and cooked to perfection, we ordered it medium. The sides were very fresh as well, we got sweet plantains, mash potatoes, fried yucca and tostones. We had a great experience over all, definitely recommend and will be going back.
