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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The waitresses were very sweet and gave me some great recommendations on the sandwiches to try here. They didn't disappoint here and give you a lot of food for the price. What surprised me was how good their drinks were. Had a Cuban coffee for the first time after dinner - on the sweeter side for an espresso, but quite balanced. I also got a strawberry milkshake, which is less thick than what you would expect but tasted phenomenal and had real chunks of strawberry mixed in. Will definitely be coming back in the future!

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

Will be a constant visitor,very good tasty food. One fail for me would be to make it be known they don't do ayce here. I know alot of people probably have gone to try out all the foods.

This Colombian food chain has gained some popularity in the past couple of years. I've had the…read morepleasure of visiting the Kendall location and wanted to love this one just as much. They boast both indoor and outdoor seating with the same aesthetic and nods to Colombian culture, like the cute hats and sandals hanging on the wall. We were seated inside fairly quickly on the Sunday afternoon we came in. They were pretty busy, but the waiters were kind of hanging out at the bar, just chit-chatting. We were able to get one of the servers to look at us after a couple of minutes of sitting there. They brought us a little palate-opener of a small portion of a simple soup. They had a margarita special we tried, $5 frozen margaritas. The maracuya (passion fruit) one was a solid choice. I also ordered the mojarra frita with white rice, tostones, and salad. The rice was really undercooked. The waiter tried to appease us by bringing us more of the same uncooked rice. We were not the only table to say something about it because our neighbors confirmed they too received the same and were also unhappy. Other than that, the rest of my meal was great. However, I will say my mom was very upset with her experience and expressed that her chicken wasn't prepared well either.

Wow! The complimentary soup was a win! Such a unique offering and it's truly the most delicious…read moreever I was shocked to love it. We all asked for more and more! lol. The fresh maracuya juice was amazingly delicious! Large portions here and my fish meal was great. Leftovers were more great. I suppose it's hard to season & moisten a fish that large but ultimately I was glad it wasn't too salty. Go, enjoy!

Great recommendations and very attentive. Food is delicious. The sancocho was made just right and the tostones de picana were fantastic. The ceviche is one of my favorites in all of Miami. I always order it and it never disappoints. They offer great lunch specials that include an appetizer, main course, and dessert. They also have a kids' menu with lots of great options. My daughter loves the chicken nuggets and seasoned fries. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff is attentive from the moment you walk in until you leave the restaurant. It is usually busy so if you can make reservations. Definitely a great place to take the family. Every time we go, the service is excellent, and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend it.

Random note, their…read moreuse of sea salt/large salt crystals was very well done on their meats and the smoking/Wood fire scent was a common thread across many dishes, including the Caesar salad croutons. As another reviewer GabyRos said, try the mordisco carpaccio, ceviche, and Carne en Vera - you'll not regret it. Cute interior decorations and the bathroom is really trippy.

The waitress took forever to take our order and forgot items. Once we finally got our food, they didn't come to our table once even though our drinks were empty. In fairness, it was a busy Saturday morning, so maybe that was it. Unfortunately for this being my first experience the impression was not good. Aside from the poor service, the restaurant was nice, bathrooms were clean, and food was very good.
