Absolutely Hands Down Favorite Colombia Restaurant in Miami!!! This is a mom and pop place with outstanding service and food is top tier purely Colombian. Large plates, fresh food made to order, and quick service. The prices are great for the amount of food you receive. Lots of parking because it's hidden in a shopping center. We tried their Calentado con huevos, arepa, café con leche. We are 100% coming back to try more haha. 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! read more

This spot is quaint and the parking is tight, but it is a hidden gem for lunch. They had a host of appetizers but I chose the chicharron. It was fried well, but could have used a little more salt. I had the lunch special which was a steal. It includes either red beans or the chicken broth, rice, protein (carne asada, pork filets or shrimp). read more

The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, the place is very nice and home-like. 10/10 experience. I recommend the Bandeja Paisa, it is amazing. read more

Hidden away location but popular. Food is generous portion but just ok for me. My kids were raised in Miami so they understand Latin food better than I. I prefer Cuban food. Colombian is bland for me. read more

Fui a este restaurante colombiano para almorzar, la comida estuvo deliciosa y el servicio excelente. Pedí el especial del almuerzo que incluía una sopa de plátano como entrada, y el plato principal traía arroz, ensalada, maduro, tostón y chicharrón. Todo súper sabroso y bien servido! El lugar tiene un ambiente muy acogedor y hogareño, perfecto para disfrutar una buena comida casera. Sin duda volveré. read more

What a wonderful little gem of a restaurant. We love their mondongo soup and always appreciate the kindness of the ladies that work there. It feels like you're eating at home. They treat and serve you with such kindness and care. The portions are generous, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Our little one is a picky eater but loves the broth of their soup. The lady is nice enough to bring her extra broth. As a mother, I appreciate this so much. This place doesn't feel like a hurry up and eat so I can bill you kind of place but a place where they really put love into the meals they make. read more

First time visiting. Opted for a plate lunch and great choice. Selected the chicken breast with rice n beans. Very delicious!! Well seasoned chicken n the beans were slightly thick but well served. Small on one side but interesting concept with split sides. Slightly bigger on the other side. Definitely worth a visit for anyone. Service was super friendly. read more

Excellent on every level. Only drawback is the restaurant is located in an office park and is difficult to find using GPS. Look for Suite B where the blue and white tile is. Amazing, authentic hearty high protein breakfast served all day. Generous portions and quality coffee. Chef's kiss! Clean, wheelchair accessible restrooms. read more

I found this place in quite a rush and it was the best, last minute judgement I could have made. Located down the road between Dolphin and International mall, you can easily miss this gem if you aren't looking for it. The moment you do walk in here though, you are greeted by Spanish decor, an older lady working the bar and the tv's playing Colombian news. The aesthetics are ALL there. Before it was a Colombian restaurant, it was a Spanish spot for 15 years. The new owners, who've now been here for 9, mentioned that they didn't want to change any of the fixtures. They did well. I loved it from the first moment I walked in. The prices are great, food comes out fresh and hot and I almost don't have to wait long for it. It's great for any time of the day, but you'll normally catch me here for breakfast or lunch. I've had simple breakfast (eggs and arepas) and also their special of the day. Normally it comes with a full plate of food that you may not even finish; definitely recommend it though. The staff is super friendly and they play live music on Friday's and Saturday's! read more

Food servings were huge a couple years back they have sclaled it down a bit. But still had great flavor.

Thank you Yelp for suggesting this amazing, authentic spot tucked away in Doral! Though I'm not Colombian, I can tell this place is very authentic due to the crowd and the ambiance. We had a Bandeja paisa, sobrebarriga (not pictured) and carne asada de res. The plates were abundant to say the least and the prices were extremely reasonable. We took a ton of food home, which I am excited about lol! There was live music, though I'm not sure how often and when this happens. I definitely recommend coming here for a unique dining experience. read more

Amazing place! We've been coming here for years!! The inside is nicely set up and has a lot of Columbian cultured decorations. The waitresses there are always nice to us! I decided to try their mora juice today, and omg it was so refreshing! We always order a few empanadas as an appetizer. They taste soo good, especially with the spicy sauce that they have at the table. And then for entrees, their bandeja paisa is a huge entree! We normally get it with their steak (always cooked perfectly), and it comes with pork skin, maduros, rice, beans, a fried egg, and your choice of an arepa or a tostone. And their portion sizes are generous!! And i forgot to take a pic of the dessert sadly but we normally get a pudding that comes with a side of raisins; very yummy! Oh and they also have live music that i think starts around like 8:00 but i dont really remember. Overall this place has always been our favorite Columbian spot and you have got to try it!! read more

Alright, if you're looking for some Colombian home cooking, you've come to the right place. The food here is delicious, well priced, and always tastes fresh. It's one of those places you come to once and then want to eat at 3 times a week, it's that good. Why the 4 stars and not 5 you ask? Well, unfortunately our waitress (both times I've been here) was not very good and it was the same one both times. She needs a few hours of "how to be more welcoming" training, it's like she's annoyed that we were there. The restaurant is also a bit dark and dingy, so it could definitely use an upgrade there. Elite tip: The parking lot is tiny and fills up really fast. Allow yourself some time to find parking. All in all this place is great and I highly recommend it. read more

This is a hole in the wall in an unassuming shopping mall. I found it by accident, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, and really felt and tasted like a home-cooked meal. The empanadas were to die for, try them with the hot sauce. The meat was super tender and had just the right seasoning. Our waitress was ok, not spectacular, and we did have to wait a lot in between courses. It was Mother's Day, so I'll give them a pass. There is plenty of parking everywhere, I'm surprised more people hasn't discovered this place. I will definitely return! read more

This place is tucked in a nondescript strip mall. When you walk in you are fully transported to a cute typical Colombian restaurant. The server was gracious and sweet. The food was delicious. The rice wasn't my favorite as it was a little hard. But everything else on my plate was great. The lunch special is a great deal. You chose between a couple protein options and it comes with a side of rice, beans or a soup, salad, tostone, and maduros. I chose the pechuga a la plancha (which was very yummy) and paired it with one of their natural juices (maracuyá/passion fruit). read more

We stopped by on a Saturday for lunch, since we were staying nearby. I'm so glad we gave this place a try. We ordered empanadas and a bandeja paisa. The food was delicious and freshly cooked. The server was very pleasant and fast in bringing out our food. I will visit again whenever I'm in the area. By the way, this is not a big place to come in a big group, it's literally a hole in the wall. read more

Craving Colombian in Doral proved to be a fruitful experience thanks to El Porton de la Flaca! We stopped by for lunch on Saturday and had a great experience. We started with empanadas which were really good. I could've easily ate more than one but was glad to save room for my main entree, arroz con pollo with tostones (can also get maduros instead). My husband ordered bandeja paisa. My arroz con pollo was tasty and a hearty portion. I'm a sucker for Colombian aji picante and there was some on the table that I lathered on everything. Even asked for some to go for my leftovers! The tostones were the size of my face and among the best I've had in quite some time. My husband devoured his bandeja paisa and was nice enough to give me some of the chicharron along the way which was so good. To sip, I opted for lulu juice blended with water and he got Pony Malta. Service was super attentive. For a very solid meal it came out to around $40 including tip. Definitely worth it! The interior takes you away from the streets of Doral and feels like something you'd find in Colombia. There's a stage which I can only assume means they have live music sometimes. This afternoon they had soccer projecting onto the big screen. read more

Amazing Colombian cuisine. The atmosphere is very homely and kind. Sit yourself down if there are tables available or attend the bar. The food is amazing. Breakfast is served all day. The Bandeja Paisa is about $20. Totally worth it. Does not bring morcilla or chorizo, which could be a dealbreaker for some. I will continue to come here until I'm old read more

What a great surprise! Looking for an easy, yummy spot for a Keto friendly breakfast and found El Portón de la Flaca. We were greeted as if we were visiting a family members upon walking in and promptly offered coffee with a huge, warm smile! We each ordered different plates and each plate was nicely served and delicious. The Chicharron was very yummy and the arepas nicely toasted and delicious. The restaurant itself looked very warm and welcoming, as if you were in Medellin. read more

I was a little torn on the stars I wanted to give this restaurant. I've been on a Colombian food haul lately and decided to give this place a chance. I wanted something different so we ordered the arroz con pollo to change it up and our usual bandeja paisa. I'll start with arroz con pollo, not a fan. It has a taste like it was cooked with ketchup. There's even red specs in it like ketchup..I did not enjoy it at all. Not sure if this is how it's typically cooked so I didn't want to be too critical. The bandeja paisa was good. The carne asada and chicharrón were awesome. Great flavor. We ended up sharing la bandeja paisa instead of me having the arroz con pollo. We also had the beef empanadas, combine that with their pique and it's a hit. Really good. I would never order the arroz con pollo again but everything else was great. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to get our Colombian fix and decided to try this place. I ordered the bandeja pasia which was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. The empanadas were delicious! Everything is home cooked and I truly felt like i was eating at my families home which is the best feeling. The service is amazing very attentive and super sweet. The place is off the beaten path so when you arrive in the parking lot it's on the left hand side. Look for the suite letter B. They place live music and have dancing on the weekends. This place was truly amazing. read more

during my most recent visits to el Porton de la flaca I have been served raw under cooked fish and meat. The last time I was here I ordered the breaded fish and unfortunately it was raw and still frozen (even thought it was served breaded) The visit before this one my partner was served undercooked raw bloody carne asada with his calentado. Very disappointing, perhaps they have changed chefs. From now on I will stick to the empanadas, palitos de queso and arepas. (Which are all very good) As most of their menu items are but I don't trust this place to order proteins anymore. read more

This is a hole in the wall restaurant. Very nice and cozy. I came to this restaurant with my sister since we were shopping at the mall. Our waitress was very nice and friendly.

Instead of calling this place a restaurant it should be call a nursing home because of its very very old employees and I don't mind an old person working but the ladies the work there are very mean and they have a rude attitude towards clientele and I'm guessing the lack of service it's because of the waitresses age they don't have the patience or the capacity and kindness that they need to do this type of work read more
