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!

Enjoyed the tres leche cake! Enjoyed that the place was not too busy and got seated asap. Also…read moreliked that there's a parking garage nearby, even though it was busy and flat rate, it was better than circling around to find street parking. I got the fish and shrimp combo which was good. It was a bit salty and needed more spice but, I enjoyed the portion with yucca and plantains. The place was good and vibe was great.

Don't eat here too often because of time but when I do, this restaurant never disappoints...!…read more Ambiance and service -- Came in for a quick bite in-between errands, and sat at the bar. Greeted by a wonderfully charming bartender, who made gracious attempts to get to know his customers, all while taking care of food and drink orders. Food -- Ordered a pan con bistec sandwich. Steak was tender and flavorful. The sandwich came with mariquitas and it was enough to share. Delicious...! If you're in the Downtown Doral area, stop by for a bite and some drinks...you will not be disappointed...!

Patacón Pisao Is a small spot with a lot of authentic Colombian flavor. It's not a big or fancy…read morerestaurant--there are only a few tables and a limited staff--but that's part of its charm. Sundays can get very busy, so be prepared to wait. It's definitely not the place to go if you're in a rush. That said, the food makes it all worth it. The patacones are perfectly made--crispy, flavorful, and topped with unique combinations you don't see everywhere. You can really taste that homemade, authentic touch. Despite having a small team, the service is warm and friendly. You can tell they genuinely make an effort to take care of every customer, even when they're packed. Overall, it's a simple place with high demand and really good, original food. Definitely worth visiting--just come with a little patience.

The food was really good too. The carne mechada was flavorful and tender, and the arepas tasted fresh and perfectly made... simple but done right. My favorite part though is that they have a kids' playground area. It makes the whole meal so much more enjoyable because the kids stay entertained while the adults can actually relax and eat in peace. If you have a family, you'll appreciate this immediately. Overall, great portions, tasty food, and a very family-friendly atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

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.

From the moment we walked in, the customer service was excellent. The host and wait staff paid attention to every little detail and made us feel genuinely welcomed. To start, I ordered the cachapa and the lomo saltado empanada, and both were incredible. The empanada especially was packed with flavor. My wife had the bandeja paisa bowl, and I went with the risotto lomo saltado. That dish almost put me to sleep in the best way possible. Comfort food level 100. We had to finish the night with one of their coffees, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Big shoutout to our server Elvis, who guided us through the menu and gave great recommendations. Usually menus with influences from so many different cultures can feel all over the place, but Luka somehow pulls it off perfectly. They're not just trying to do a little bit of everything. They truly feel like masters of it all. Definitely coming back.

Hoy visité Luka Restaurant por primera vez y me quedé completamente sin palabras…read more No soy ni colombiana ni venezolana, y precisamente por eso mi experiencia tiene tanto valor: no necesité que esos sabores fueran los de mi infancia para que me conquistaran por completo. Cada plato que probé fue una obra maestra -- la variedad, la sazón, la perfección en cada detalle. Una comida que trasciende fronteras y nacionalidades. En más de dos décadas viviendo aquí, jamás había comido algo tan auténtico, tan bien ejecutado, sin poder hacerle una sola crítica. Ni una. Hasta el café fue impecable. El lugar es hermoso, la atención cálida y genuina, y se siente el amor y la dedicación detrás de cada cosa que sirven. La buena comida no necesita que seas de un país específico para tocarte el corazón, solo necesita estar hecha con alma. Y en Luka, el alma se siente desde el primer bocado hasta el último sorbo de café. ¡Volveré sin duda!

Absolutely Hands Down Favorite Colombia Restaurant in Miami!!!…read more This is a mom and pop place with outstanding service and food is top tier purely Colombian.

FYI, an 18% tip was automatically applied to the pay check but the servers are sweet hearts and they deserve it and so much more!
