Popusa revuelta with the side of spicy cabbage it comes with
Cristian G.

This is the place to get your popusa fix. I recommend the popusas revuelta which have pork, beans and cheese. The thing that puts these popusas over any other ones are the cabbage that come with the order. A little spicy but complement the popusa perfectly. I definitely consider el coladito a hidden gem with low prices. With that being said, I only ever get popusas so I cannot exactly vouch for anything else. PS THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH

Little hidden gem...MY FAVORITE TAKEAWAY FROM MIAMI

VERDADERA FELICIDAD DE DESTINO Thanks to all my fellow FOODIE YELPERS THAT POST PICTURES As always, any road trips..Any fun adventures, I go to Yelp for our food finds.. To be honest, I never read a review. I just look at the pictures of the food and pick where we're going to go. And this method has yet to fail me. This place deserves a review.. We are total Gringos, but we appreciate the Immigrants that come and make our life/world a better place with their flare of flavors in food.Their willingness to make us feel at home and appreciated. All I know is,this food was one of five or six restaurants that we hit for Pupuas and this one knocked it out of the park for me.. The Papuas were full of cheese but a little thicker with the corn tortilla ( Masa reminds me of a really good green corn tamales from Tucson Arizona) They're condiments that go with the Pupuas had a little more flavor than the other places we had gone to as well.. We basically tried the same meal at every place we went so we could truly compare them.. Their Baleada was just bean/cheese/creme where we had meat/egg/avocado in the rest we tried.. Again NO hate for anywhere we ATE.. But these guys knock it out of the ballpark for me with the beans. Oh my God, they were the best I've had on the East Coast.. They were very kind and very understanding with our lack of communication skills..( understand more then we speak) Since we always hit El Presidente market and El Rey's before heading home on our trips to Miami. This now will be where we will eat and we will just take the El Rey sandwiches home. Not sure what magic they do in that kitchen but I'm willing to go back again and again and again and enjoy every magical bite.. Looking for the real deal..? This Is The Place Folks...TRUE DESTINATION HAPPINESSES

The atmosphere is inviting, stylish, and perfect for a special night out. Our server Manuel, was exceptional !! He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made excellent recommendations and helped us choose the Chef's Centerpiece for Two. We also tried the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. One unique touch I loved was that after the meal, they brought warm essential oil towels to refresh your hands, which was especially nice after enjoying seafood. It made the experience feel even more luxurious. Be sure to save room for dessert! They have a wonderful selection, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Giselle Restaurant if you're looking for outstanding food, excellent service, and a memorable fine dining experience. It's definitely worth a visit!!

What surprised me was the excellent service, from start to finish. I arrived early and had a drink at the bar, served by a gorgeous, knowledgeable and polite bartender. As it was early, I probably paid attention to the others at the bar more than I would normally, and it was a very colorful, diverse mix. Beautiful people dressed to the nines, a few couples and a few who were obviously tourists. Great start! The highlights included the dumplings, truffle fries and Snapper. I am a French fry purist, but these changed my mind! I would skip the tuna with caviar over rice appetizer. This one hurt as it was highly recommended by our server. The proportion is just wrong. The mushrooms as a main side were also rather pedestrian. I know we had multiple desserts, but I can't remember them. A big plus for me is that we were rooftop, but it is fully enclosed. Smart and perfect for Miami's unpredictable weather. Since it's clear, you won't miss a thing.

A Florida restaurant right on the water with great views and good food? Yes, please. Crazy About…read moreYou is nicely appointed with a bit of charming quirk woven into the decor. I stopped in for lunch after a work meeting and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. I needed a "steak break," so I opted for the "I Can't Believe It's Not Carbonara"--and I have zero noodle regrets! The zucchini substitute combined with a delicious carbonara sauce meant there was no concern about the lack of traditional pasta. The zucchini more than filled the role, and I certainly appreciated the caloric savings. The chicken was also well-cooked, flavorful, and moist. I especially loved the tableside delivery and the unique touch of being served directly from a colander. The order isn't huge, which I appreciated, it felt the right size for lunch without weighing down your afternoon. Now, there were likely no calorie savings with the Serrano Ham Croquettes, but they are small and easily shareable if you want to spread the love. They are a true step up and a legitimate treat compared to run-of-the-mill mozzarella sticks. The decor kitsch continues right until the end--the check arrived in an old-school lunchbox! The staff were great throughout the meal, making for a seamless and enjoyable lunch.

From the moment we sat down, our waitress was warm and attentive. I wish I'd gotten her name. She made great recommendations that were all delicious. Is a simple but effective menu with starters included with the main dish. Great value for their portions. We had no complaints about the food and the drinks were just as good. The restaurant is very well managed and organized. It's a beautiful location with gorgeous views of golden hour.

We choose the indoor seating this time around, but I think I prefer the outdoor seating. Indoors was lovely. It was dark, sexy, no bugs, and the perfect temperature. We ordered: Faust wine 5/5 All the usual free apps 5/5 Grilled Octopus 5/5 Spicy Rigatoni 5/5 Veal Parmesan 5/5 The service was great! They had amazing team work to provide the perfect high class dinning for guest. I never had to think about water being refilled, wine glass being refilled, or crumbs on the table. They checked in with us just enough. Price: If you have drinks, apps, entree, and dessert expect to spend around $300 or more. Portions: Not the largest portions for "family size" but if it's just two it may be filling enough because they give you bread, cheese, cured meats, and pickled cauliflower for the appetizers. Overall, this is one of our favorite spots and it's truly worth the hype. For it being F1 weekend it was not as hectic as expected.

I had high expectations for Carbone, especially given its reputation, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience left me feeling disappointed. THE FOOD The food itself wasn't the problem- the value was. Charging nearly $200 for a 2.5-pound lobster and serving what appeared to be no more than 10 ounces of meat is unacceptable. I've ordered lobster countless times, and this was nowhere close to what should come from a lobster of that size. It honestly felt like a bait-and-switch. At Carbone's prices and reputation, I expected transparency and quality, not to leave wondering if I had just paid hundreds of dollars for an empty shell. It completely overshadowed the rest of the meal and left a terrible impression. THE SERVICE Our wait staff was excellent- friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. When I raised my concern about the lobster, however, there wasn't a meaningful solution offered. The manager did bring out complimentary meatballs and two slices of cake, which was appreciated, but it didn't address the actual issue. I requested the veal entrée (about $125) as a gesture of goodwill, but that request was denied. I left feeling that my concerns were acknowledged but not truly resolved. THE VIBE The ambiance is everything you'd expect from Carbone- stylish, energetic, and full of old-school charm. It's a beautiful restaurant with a lively atmosphere, making it a great place for a special occasion. Ultimately, the atmosphere and attentive wait staff weren't enough to make up for what felt like poor value and an unsatisfactory resolution to a legitimate concern. At this level of dining, guests should leave feeling impressed--not questioning whether they received what they paid for. Our total bill was close to $1000. UNACCEPTABLE.

First and foremost, do not waste your time or money coming here…read more As a Miami native, I was genuinely disappointed by both the food and the level of service. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. We started with the "jumbo" wings, which were anything but jumbo. We received only flats, and they were some of the smallest wings I've ever been served. After bringing this to the staff's attention, we were told the manager would take 50% off the order. However, when the bill arrived, we were informed that the manager had already left and the discount could no longer be honored. Instead, we were given only the $4 happy hour discount, despite being promised otherwise. For our entrées, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the half chicken. Neither was worth ordering. The chicken lacked the crispy texture it was advertised to have, and the brisket was bland and without flavor. The sandwich was also supposed to come with truffle fries, but instead we were served cold, plain fries. After mentioning it, the solution was to bring us a side of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and ask us to mix it ourselves. The service was equally disappointing. We asked our server twice for drink refills, but she never brought them. We eventually had to flag down another server just to get our beverages refilled. Overall, this was a frustrating dining experience from start to finish. Between the poor-quality food, unfulfilled promises regarding the bill, and inattentive service, this restaurant fell well below the standard I would expect from a Miami establishment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because the current level of food quality and customer service is simply unacceptable. and quality is embarrassing for miami.
