Must try if you come here. For the main dish, We tried their branzino which was also very flavorful and surprisingly moist for being cooked directly on fire. Drinks- well made, balanced, and half off on happy hour :) Service- attentive, friendly and accommodating. The venue is brand new and decorated nicely inside. Great for any special occasion.

Unfortunately, I really wanted to try this place but couldn't. We arrived with our family and were…read moretold there was a 45+ minute wait, despite there being more than five empty tables at the time. We waited about 20 minutes and watched more people leave, to the point where there were easily 10+ empty tables. The host kept saying they were all reserved, which was hard to believe, and his attitude was passive-aggressive and dismissive the entire time. We finally decided to leave, and when we told him, he didn't even acknowledge us or say a word. Super rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

My favorite restaurant during my Florida trip. I made reservation a little before dinner time and…read morewas surprised it wasn't busier considering the glowing reviews. Guess we came at a good time cause later we did see more people come in. For starters, the staff here were all so professional and welcoming. Shoutout to MARIA for being the sweetest! Great recommendations from her. I loved the food so much. Mix ceviche -- so refreshing and loved the variety Jalea Bocas house (fried shrimp, fried fish, fried yuca fries) -- a little bit of everything and fried perfectly. Paired with the sauces. Skirt and fettuccine -- cooked as I requested (medium). Packed with flavor. SO FREAKING GOOD. Arroz cremoso de aji Amarillo with lomo saltado -- unique dish that worked so well. Recommend! Spicy margarita -- best drink here. Mezcal mule -- my mom and I didn't really like it because it was too smoky. Maria was kind enough to swap it out for us with another spicy margarita and didn't charge for the mezcal mule. Love the ambiance. They have daily promos on some of their items so be sure to check it out. I highly recommend this spot. 10/10

This was my first time at Mondongo's and I will definitely be back. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe vibe was family friendly and relaxed. We were greeted by a very nice hostess and once our party arrives we were sat quickly. Our waiter recommended a wonderful drink, which was Prosecco with lychee and strawberries, very delicious! Then we ordered empanadas for the table. They were very tasty. I had the pollo a la plancha with plátano, arroz and arepa. It was very tasty. A good size portion. I could have eaten the whole plate but I controlled myself and took half home, and now I have a delicious lunch for tomorrow! For dessert we had breva con arequipe. This was not my favorite, while I do like figs, queso fresco, and arequipe; I did not like it all together. The others in my party felt the same way. However , I don't think this is the restaurants fault, I think I just don't like this dish. All in all, it was a great time with great foods and great friends. If you are looking for a homey place to relax with family or friends and enjoy a good meal, this is the place for you!

My wife and I decided to give this place a try. The food was terrible and tasteless. The only thing…read morewe liked was the bread. For beverages I ordered a hot tea and my wife ordered a coke. Unfortunately my wife received coke in a can which we really dislike when restaurants do this and I received hot water with a tea packet and some sugar packets (no complaints on my end) so far. As previously stated the bread was delicious. It was crispy outside and airy inside and tasted amazing with more than a hint of garlic. When our main entrees arrived we were stunned by how tasteless and disgusting the rice was. The rice had to have been sitting around in the back for a while. The rice was not fresh it was room temperature and clumpy. The rice would not break apart when I tapped it with my fork, it was like the rice was stuck together. The beef on my entree and my wife's entree were both tasteless and room temperature. Nothing was seasoned. I repeat nothing was seasoned. Theses entrees looked good and were very promising based on appearance. However, they tasted bad. Even the fries were unsalted and tasteless mush. The service was also terrible and our server seemed very preoccupied with other things. I believe he was the only waiter/server working during the time we were there. He was very impatient and rushed us for our orders. And he does not know English at all. It felt like we were running on his time. My pregnant wife was feeling stressed out by his behavior. The atmosphere was ok. It was kinda loud but the place wasn't bad atmosphere wise. There were not many people there even though it was around 3pm. It was just us and 3 other tables. Final opinion is this the worst Cuban restaurant my wife and I have ever been to. They took forever to bring out food that was not even fresh. We have had Cuban buffets that were fresher than this. We definitely will never return here. I hope your experience is better than ours. God bless and stay safe.

The ropa vieja is just fine, but the carne asada was DELICIOUS. This is most definitely a lunch spot. They were out of chorizo and sopa de res, and apparently it happens frequently at night. The service was quick and it's a cute little restaurant tucked into an older shopping center. I would come back for one of the giant tostones, and I definitely would come for lunch to try some of the sopa de res.

This one honestly makes me sad to write because Patacon Pisao used to be one of my go-to spots…read more I've been here countless times since I was a kid and over the years had always really enjoyed the food and that neighborhood restaurant feel it had. Unfortunately, this last visit was completely different. The service was extremely slow from the moment we arrived. It took a long time just for someone to acknowledge us, then another long wait to have our order taken, followed by an even longer wait for the food to come out. When it finally arrived, it wasn't at the temperature or quality I remembered. Some of the food was barely warm, while the salmon seemed overly reheated and the patacón was chewy. The whole meal felt like it may have been sitting for a while before reaching our table. What was most disappointing was knowing how good this place used to be. It just didn't have the same quality, attention, or neighborhood feel that made me keep coming back in the past. I really hope this was just an off day because I have genuinely loved this place before. Unfortunately, based on this particular visit, it was a very disappointing experience.

This restaurant has several locations, but this one is worthing noting…read more There are a few really good Cuban restaurants left in Miami, and this one is one of them. Food -- The food portions can be "abuela" approved. All plates come with 2 sides, which are all very shareable. From dining in to ordering cantina to-go, the food never disappoints. It's always fresh, savory and hands-down delicious. Service -- From the cafecito at the ventanita to the dining in, the service is always friendly and courteous, as it should be. Ambiance -- It's located inside a dated strip mall that needs much refurbishing but the restaurant inside is clean and ample.
