I've visited Kendall Grille three times -- August 14th, September 9th, and most recently September…read more19th -- and after trying several different dishes, I can honestly say that I've had an excellent experience every single time. What I've loved the most is the quality, flavor, and freshness of the food. You can truly tell when food is freshly prepared and made with care.
I've tried both the grilled steak and pork, with different combinations. One of my favorites has been either beef or pork served with chicken fried rice and fried cheese. Absolutely delicious! I also wanted to try something a little lighter, so I ordered the grilled steak with cooked squash and fried yuca, and the yuca really impressed me. It doesn't have the taste or texture of the frozen yuca that many places serve. I was told that they prepare the yuca themselves before frying it, and you can definitely taste the difference.
I've also tried several of their fresh drinks, including passion fruit, mango, and cacao with milk. They all have such a delicious flavor, and something I personally really appreciate is that the sweetness is just right -- not overly sweet and not bland. Perfectly balanced for my taste.
The salad, hot sauce, and chimichurri are also delicious. Overall, one thing that has stood out to me during all three visits is how fresh and freshly made everything tastes. The seasoning is very well balanced, and both the salt in the food and the sweetness of the drinks are just right.
But I definitely want to give a VERY special mention to Mr. Juan Manuel. His service deserves a 1000%! From the way he welcomes and treats customers to how attentive he is throughout the entire experience, he has been incredibly kind, respectful, dedicated, professional, and attentive to every detail. He is one of those people who doesn't simply take your order and serve your food -- he genuinely makes you feel welcome and well taken care of. Great food makes you want to come back, but when it's combined with such exceptional service, the entire experience becomes even more memorable. Thank you so much, Juan Manuel, for your wonderful service and for treating customers with such kindness and dedication.
Lastly, I was told that they also have a rewards points system. Every time you make a purchase and enter your phone number, you accumulate points, and once you reach 100 points, you receive a gift. I think that's such a nice touch for their regular customers.
After three visits and trying several different dishes, Kendall Grille has definitely earned my . Delicious Nicaraguan food, fresh ingredients, great flavors, and excellent customer service.
I will definitely be coming back to try even more from the menu!
