This is one of my favorite Fritanga places in Miami, I love how clean it is and the food is delicious, the carne asada was cooked to perfection and the gallo pinto is always fire they also give good portions . I just feel like overall the workers are not really friendly. read more

Fritanga Angonica - Yum - Nicaraguan Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

I'd seen this spot during my commute from work. So merited by one of my humorous cow field checkins and the fact that I'm a carnivore I decided to stop in for a quick bite. Located in a strip mall right on W 68 St (NW 122 St) with a tattoo shop & frozen yogurt spot, there's plenty of parking. It's a cozy space, with a few small tables close to the windows opposite the service counter where they have various traditional Latin cuisine sides. Think tostones, sweet plantains & YUGE trays of gallo pinto (red beans & rice). When I went they also had pasta salad (pretty good actually!) I was told they do make / heat the meat main course as ordered, and I ordered their Carne Asada (Nicaraguan version of churrasco). My order had a little more pink than I would have preferred (medium well) but otherwise pretty juicy and tasty. I also did have to ask for chimichurri, since none was served on the meat. The largest bulk of the order (simple economics) was their gallo pinto which was actually pretty good, not dry at all and with a decent helping of beans. Prices were pretty fair (though I could have appreciated a larger serving of meat). Although I do have my favorite restaurant for home-style cooking in the area, I'd try this place again. read more

Fritanga Angonica - "Completa" of carne Asada (Churrasco), Gallo pinto, sweet plantains and pasta salad - Nicaraguan Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Carne asada was mostly burnt and did not have good seasoning/taste.. the customer service was also subpar.

The cleanest Fritanga I've seen in Miami, period. Their food is tasty as always and the service is always a pleasure because the lady is always sweet and courteous to each client. I've only seen one the last three times I've gone this month so thank you to her. *Also, thank you for using different spoons for each food and not keeping them in nasty water all day which is also a food allergen concern. read more

Ordered from this fun little spot twice and always the same thing tacos which cool thing they cooked on the spot. Service nice people. My dad had the carne asada and also they cooked on the spot. 4 stars because of the lack of variety being thats its a fritanga and their cabada drink was beyond sweet. Try it out. read more

It's been years since I had fritanga. For Latin Americans, fritanga can be a dish of various fried foods, but it is also referred to home-style Nicaraguan food served cafeteria style; to eat in or to-go. Fritanga Ango-nica (Angola-Nicaragua) in Hialeah Gardens "is not" a dive nor a hole in the wall. It's small, yes; but clean, well put together and inviting. They have a decent sized area for outdoor seating, but on a scorching Summer Sunday in August, we stayed indoors. The food is what you would expect from an amazing Nicaraguan well prepared and presented, non-greasy, home-cooked plentiful meal. We were served by Mayra who was attentive and pleasing. It was quite the spread of surf and turf choices. They offer, beef, pork, chicken, and fish. I wanted EVERYTHING, but minimally elected the gallo pinto (seasoned white rice/red bean blend), ropa vieja (saucy shredded beef) maduros (fried sweet plantains), and carrots that were curtido style (sort of pickled), flash-steamed to keep crunchy and preserve all the nutrients. I also added a quarter of an avocado. The gallo pinto was just right--not dry, not too much water in the cooking process. That's my favorite recipe for rice. Some tend to add just a tad more water for an oatmeal consistency, but NO! ;P Others add less water to make it drier/grainier, but the cook here got it right! The ropa vieja was also "al punto". The beef was tender and mouth watering satisfying. My family ordered other equally scrumptious dishes that I won't go into, but you can view the photos. They have assorted drinks, including Perrier water (in a can). This place is a diamond in the ruff for sure and I will return! read more

this place is one of MANY fritangas in the area. If you've never been to a fritanga, let me tell you what it is. A fritanga is a Nicaraguan restaurant, I visited Nicaragua once and there what happens is that housewives set up a cooktop outside of their house every evening and sell carne asada with gallo pinto and queso frito. Fritanga Angonica is trying something a little different fromt he other fritangas in this area. They have a modern look which the rest are lacking. They also have a lot more vegetable choices that most fritangas do. I also found their food to be way fresher and that is why I do not mind paying a little more for food here. Usually i get a carne asada plate for $6.25 at most fritangas, but her it cost me $8. We did a taste test with my husband, he ordered a meal from our regular fritanga and I ordered it from Fritanga Angonica and we tasted both dishes and each time, hands down, Fritanga Angonica won :) I hope they keep up the quality. I only visit miami 3 times a year and I will be doing a follow up review next time I'm in town. In the meantime check out the pictures I posted on my last visit. read more

Small fritanga spot in Hialeah. Parking is available all around the plaza. I've been to other fritanga restaurants and this location didn't have many different food items to choose from maybe they ran out of food? Either way I hope they expand their food selections. I got the carne asada with morro and a salad. The food was bland, didn't really have a distinct taste. I ate inside the restaurant which has a few small tables inside. For a quick bite that's better than fast food this a good spot. Prices for the food are reasonable so that's a plus for this location. read more

Needs some fixing. Ordered Carne Asada with their Gallo Pinto Rice. Their tacos where made with a thick tortilla then fried-- hence why is was hard rock and once you bite, you slide with all the filling out. Not typical Nicaraguan Tacos as expected from my childhood ( not even close) but it all right for the cravings. read more

Fritanga Angonica - Milca - Nicaraguan Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

The food here is amazing from the steaks to the ribs I love it all. The food is well worth it for the price you pay

This place has the best carne asada, which is cooked to your liking when ordered. It is the best I have ever tried. It is affordable and conveniently located on a busy intersection inside of a small shopping complex. It is ideal for grabbing dinner on your way home or stopping by for lunch after getting your hair cut next door. The staff is friendly and approachable! Highly recommend and the portions served are very filling. read more

There is no Apple Pay, prices are high. A milca (can) $2.30 that is crazy. So everything was about $15. Ask for prices before ordering so you don't get a surprise at the register read more

Weather you want the meat medium rare or well done, it's always Extra Well DONE. The combo comes with the meat, your type of rise, maduros or cheese, and complementary salad. I asked her if she could just add a little more of the complementary salad and she rudely said " I'm going to give you what I am supposed to, if you want more then you need to pay for the extra" I drove about 20 minutes to go to this place , and I can assure you her stingy self made the business lose a great customer. WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN . read more

Carne asada and gallo pinto from hell. Carne asada might as well be a boiler reject cut and the gallo pinto is old, dry, and not very flavorful. My girlfriends ropa vieja was shredded dog food and her tamale was an absolute waste as well. Complete wast of 25 bucks, freaking thieves read more

Fritanga Angonica - Carne asada and gallo pinto from hell. - Nicaraguan Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

The food is great but just the employees the way they talk to you is so rude all attitude making faces rolling eye isn't really welcoming

One of my favorite places to grab n go. The food is always fresh and they usually have a selection to choose from. The ladies that work there are efficient and friendly. read more

!! FAKE FRITANGA ALERT !! I suggest you stay away from this "modern Fritanga" a million times! My boyfriend who's Nica stepped foot in this place and immediately said "fake ass Fritanga" lol I, nonetheless wanted to give it a shot and went for it. Where shall I begin? The rice or so called "Gallo Pinto" had no taste whatsoever! The only good thing about it was the texture, it was grained rice... But no taste at all... I think American rice which is known to be completely tasteless would have been a lot better. Maduros; weren't even fried properly and were quite hard to bite into. And last, the main part of the plate; the carne asada... Well I was disappointed again... Horribly! NO TASTE!! The only good thing was the tenderness since it was cooked to order but what good does that do when you're just biting into tender meat with no taste... Just PURE COW! Thankfully the queso was cooked to order and since it's not hard to mess up frying cheese that was the highlight of my meal. Which in reality was not a meal at all! I will NOT return no matter what and suggest you stay away from it too, unless you want to be disappointed! THE BEST PLACE FOR FRITANGA IS A DRIVE BUT WELL WORTH IT AND CHEAPER THAN THIS PLACE! PINOLANDIA OR FRITANGA HERMANOS MENDOZAS IN EAST HIALEAH! HANDS DOWN THE BEST IN MIAMI! read more

I'm very happy with this spot. I had carne asada, gallo pinto and queso frito and it was delicious! My wife had the carne desmenuzada that too was delicious. The gallo pinto was perfectly made. Que rico. The lady was friendly and the restaurant was clean (small but clean). Definitely will be going again. read more

The rice was dry & I did not enjoy the sweet bean salad. The service was great though.

Had tamales from here and ended up sick all say nonestop vomiting. Maybe it was just that batch but if messed me up.

This is the best fritanga in the whole Florida, they're consistent with great food. I get the carne asada, gallo pinto, queso frito and tajadas.. makes me drool. They're sweet and quick with your order. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. I come almost everyday read more

The food was great today! Excellent customer service, I loved the meat and the queso frito was super duper delicious. I really hope they keep up with the good food. :) read more

This place was once pretty good I don't know if there's been a change in management or something but it's ridiculous the staff do not seem to know what they are doing. They advertise that they close at 9pm and they are out of food supposedly by 8pm. You either need to order what's on the counter or leave basically. The quality of the food itself is not what it was either, the meat is not cooked properly, the rice is hard. I do not recommend this place, if anything there's a better spot down the street called Delicias de Nicaragua much better and treated with respect read more

Food is great! Well priced. Can't speak to the authenticity of it but it was very delicious.

This is my new to-go place for Fritanga. Their food is delicious and fresh and the restaurant is always spotless. I usually order carne asada (meat cooked to order to your liking) with gallo pinto (rice & red beans cooked together so the rice absorbs the flavor of the beans) & repollo (cole & carrots finely chopped with lemon dressing) which is the perfect acidic counterpart to the well seasoned beef. Staff consists of two people - one cooking and one taking orders & serving so service is a little slow but the staff is friendly enough and the food is worth the wait. read more

One of my favorite discoveries as an adult was a fritanga. Since I was introduced to them I have visited so many in Miami and it's hard to find good ones. Never did I think in Hialeah would I find a great one. You would think all the best ones are in Flagler right? Well now you can have amazing fresh nica food right in your neighborhood. My absolute favorite thing about this place is that the carne Asada is made to order instead of sitting there in a warmer over cooking. I dislike that most of these place cook the crap out of these steaks and taste like nothing but seasoning. This place has great seasoning and the meat is soft and to your liking. I always ask for medium. Which is more than what medium really is but its churrasco so you can't leave it to raw bc it's too chewy. It also has a nice garlic flavor which I enjoy. And the best part is the meat is not fatty!! Most places give you a bunch of pieces of meat but it's mostly fat. They give you two long strips but good strips, which I prefer quality over quantity. The rice is also very good here. The queso frito is saltier than most places but with the maduro it balances out. If you haven't had the cheese with the maduro, your def missing out! One thing I notice is they don't have plantain chips or tajadas as they call it. Don't make the mistake I did my first time going to a fritanga and asked for mariquitas which is what we Cubans call them. I got the hardest stares. They also have a different selection of salads to accompany your meal. Instead of just the norm "repollo" or however they call their coleslaw. They have a garden salad and a garbanzo salad.All this food for around $9. Can't beat it if your looking for a good filing meal of rice beans and meat. read more

I was recently introduced to fritanga and have tried a couple of places. This place is one of the best so far. They make their carne asada upon order, and the taste is great. Not only is the food amazing and tastes fresh, the service is exceptional! This is my new go to in the area. read more

The Food is delicious!! Definitely a must go for you guys who want to have yummy Carne asada and cacao . You need to try it all :)

I am Nicaraguense and this is the best fritanga I have had in West Hialeah. The carne asada is cooked to order and Gallo pinto always taste fresh. You can always order ahead of time over the phone and it's ready when you arrive. Love this place! read more

I really like that they don't grill the meat until you order it. It's delicious. Best gallo pinto

Honestly so disappointed I found PLASTIC in my rice. Yes I said plastic. The food honestly had no flavor. The nacatamal was horrible tasted like it was made from expired ingredients. Honestly waste of $20. read more

I tried this Fritanga for the first time, and I'm glad I did ! The carne asada was delicious; very tender and with a grilled smoky flavor to it. You could tell everything was fresh and not reheated, plus the place was immaculate clean. Will be returning for sure !!! read more

This place is more of an americanized fritanga. That's not really a bad thing though. I love that the carne asada is cooked to order. The quality of the meat is awesome. Very tender and nicely seasoned. The place is always clean and the service is mostly good. The gallopinto is my least favorite part. Its very plain in my opinion. The salad is awesome though. Overall this is a good spot but it wont slide if you bring your nicaraguan relatives to eat here while they vacation in Miami. read more

The place is in a good spot in Hialeah to be honest, but for me the food was not worth their price.. The staff was very friendly and helpful and attentive but the food was very dry, i had to wait 15 minutes just to get my meat and the place was empty. I understand you dont want to make the meat until we order it but during the lunch rush you should have plenty ready. The drink was not so great but it was good. If I could choose another fritanga I would. read more

This is by far the most bland and tasteless Nica food I have ever tried. The carne asada tasted terrible, the gallo pinto was extremely dry, the plantains were bitter, the queso frito didn't even taste like queso frito and was way too salty. read more

Wow! That was delicious! Had the carne asada, well done, but still tender, and excellent flavor! For sides I had the gallo pinto (rice and red beans), the carrots and the boiled plantain. All so good. Best food I've had around this area. I would highly recommend it. The place was spotless, too. It's too bad I didn't find this place earlier. read more

Good but the gallo pinto wasnt really authentic Nicaraguan gallo pinto.. Oh yea and over priced! Almost $13.00 for a Carna Asada! It's a Fritanga in Hialeah for gods sake not Brickell. Needless to say I won't be coming back read more

If you want to try the real Angolan food, that the place in Miami, clean, and familiar place. The food is fresh and delicious, and the people who works there are really polite. always with a nice smile. read more

The cacao in this "modern fritanga" is nothing like what a real cacao tastes like, tastes more like Nesquik.
