Excellent I was looking for a gallina relleno they help me out and they had one for sale isn't was bomb and a chunky one a bunch of relleno and I bought a tres leche it has a little kick to it was good

$8 Carne Asada
Rolando G.

The prices are super cheap and easily serves two. The Gallo pinto is always good and their grilled chicken breast and carne asada are awesome!!

Carne Asada with queso frito, Congri, sweet plantains and cabbage salad.  $8.00

I was searching for a fritanga very near by...like 3 doors down, and I mistook this establishment for the other. BTW...maybe there are new owners as they gave ba a business card and the name is LA FRITANGA AMERRISQUE. I did not realize I was in the wrong place until I took a few bites and went to check into the one I had originally wanted to visit....then I realized.... The food was not impressive. I ordered Carne Asasa, with Congri and sweet plantains with queso frito. Everything....and I do mean EVERYTHING....was over cooked and hard. I was disappointed in the taste as well. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

While in Miami for a week, I had to go back here twice!! I hope I spell it right, but the ~Salpicon~ was the bOooombbbb!! Just like my best friends mom makes. It's really small in there, only had room for 4 people to sit and eat, but I don't think the regulars don't mind that it's that way. They have hot food ready to serve on the spot, if you'r ever in Miami, and want some good home cooked Nicaraguan food, this spots good!!

HORRIBLE customer service. None of the workers can answer your question. And all they do is SCREAM like maniacs.

I bought some Indio viejo, it was supposed to have meat. Let me tell you, it was just purée and not meat. Very disappointing

Ate here while visiting Miami. My travel buddy a Native to Nicaragua brought us here to try the…read morequesillo ( a warm corn Gordita -tortilla like, wrapped around a piece of cheese and they add pickled onions and a salty cream sauce) a very unique flavor. They serve it inside a plastic bag, tied at the end. You have to flip it over, bite off the corner, spit out the plastic and just eat it from there. Must eat it like this to avoid spilling the cream sauce. They offer other traditional dishes which we also had and were delicious. But I only took a video of what I found to be unique. It's situated in a small strip mall, next to a Pizza Hut ; it's easy to miss, they need better signs. Overall a good place to try. I couldn't turn off the audio on the videos posted, but then again you'll hear my friend's excitement for I tried this dish.

When 2 Chainz's crunk anthem, "I'm Different," plays in the club, Nicaraguan quesillos sprint to…read morethe dance floor yelling, "That's my jam!" In the Caribbean, South America, and Spain, a quesillo is a dense flan-style dessert. But in Central America, it's a savory snack akin to a Venezuelan cachapa. With one exception, my entire lunch crew has a Nicaraguan connection, either through heritage or marriage. I'm the exception. So when I mentioned discovering an undiscovered Nica spot, I was met with four pairs of doubting eyes. Décor isn't high on Quesillos Guiliguiste's priority list. If you've ever stepped into an Italian deli, you've seen communal counters that serve workers in a hurry to grab and go. That long, chest-high piece of furniture is the centerpiece of the dining room, along with two small benches, handwritten menus, and a retro cash register complete with an oversized roll of thermal paper. My coworkers silently looked around while nodding and tallying points for authenticity. Undoubtedly, the quesillo is the star attraction. Most visitors order one ($6) or two, and the dedicated attendant operates her station accordingly. Corn tortillas are quickly warmed in the kitchen, then topped with braided mozzarella-like cheese, sharp sour cream, and pickled onions (optional). There are three main ways to enjoy a quesillo: the "bag job," where all the ingredients merge inside a ziplock; the fancy "fork-and-knife job" while hovering over a paper plate; or my favorite, the "hand.... situation", grabbing it like a soft taco. There are also prepared dishes like Chancho con Yuca ($13), a fricassé-style pork served with boiled cassava and shredded cabbage slathered in tomato-based gravy. You can tell the rich sauce has been reducing for hours, soaking up deep umami flavors. It's a hearty dish, but it's not my first choice with half a workday ahead. The Taquitos ($6 for two) were freshly fried and crispy, but the tiny sliver of meat inside didn't help me meet my protein goals. Tiste ($4) is a traditional Nicaraguan drink, but it could just as easily be sold at Peet's as a Cinnamon-Sugar-Glazed Popcorn Iced Hot Chocolate. The flavors of Christmas spices, roasted corn, and dark chocolate satisfy without overwhelming your sweet tooth. Jugo de Tamarindo ($4) was just as memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. It was thicc, overly sweet, noticeably salty, and missing the sour punch I'm used to. It was so different from the tamarind juice I've enjoyed elsewhere that I thought they gave me the wrong drink. I get that it's a family business, but had I been at Pinolandia or Fritanga Monimbó, I'd be swimming in gallo pinto and carne asada, floating on a raft of fried cheese, for the same price I paid here for what was essentially two vegetarian quesadillas. Still, this shop has the monopoly on made-to-order quesillos, and all the Pinoleros in my pack were giddy with Guiliguiste, many grabbing to-go orders for their friends and families.
