Visité el restaurante Hormiga de Oro el domingo a las 11:21 am y lamentablemente mi experiencia no fue buena. Desde el inicio, el trato del personal fue poco amable y sentí falta de atención y respeto como cliente. No es lo que uno espera al ir a desayunar o almorzar tranquilo. La comida puede ser aceptable, pero el servicio hace una gran diferencia, y en este caso dejó mucho que desear. Ojalá puedan mejorar la atención al cliente, ya que es clave para que uno quiera regresar o recomendar el lugar. No volvería por el momento read more

Great spot if you are craving some amazing Nicaraguan food. We came here for a party and I wish so could've stayed longer. The staff was very attentive and courteous despite it being a busy night. The steak was grilled to perfection in some places the carne asada can be very dry but here it was still juicy. The arroz valenciana was delicious it was packed with chicken and vegetables and was not overly salted. And to top it off they music was great perfect for anyone who wants to get up and dance. read more

We heard the food here was great but unfortunately we didn't get that far. We first entered and sat down at a corner booth. The waitress seemed pleasant and took our drink and food order. Once we got our drinks (15-20 minutes in). The owner came out of the kitchen and seemed upset at the waitress while talking on the phone. Then they both entered the kitchen. Our waitress then exited the kitchen, approached our table said we have to move, she didn't ask, she said. We were surprised at the situation so instead we decided to just get up and leave, the staff and owner could not care less at the fact that we were leaving, they almost enjoyed it. read more

Came here for lunch! Service was fast and our waitress was friendly. Make sure you know enough Spanish to order food as when I came there was not one that spoke English. I ordered rice, fried cheese, and carne. Food was nicely flavored and great in portion size. I thought the price was decent....15 for lunch. The cheese was an additional fee. Restaurant was clean and plenty of seating. Parking can be a bit crowded as this location is next to a donut shop so it gets packed! read more

Worse place ever, horrible customer service. First time going, placed order and was told we had to move seats. Why tell us at the beginning to sit anywhere to have us move. Very inconvenient for me and my family. read more

Was down south and was craving Nicaraguan food the location in Pembroke Pines was the closest. Inside it's a bit outdated. The menus has the prices covered and it seems to be a bit over priced for the type of food but taste of food was really good! Just be careful cause they do double tax without you knowing. But the food it self was very good and well portioned. read more

Here is the good and the bad for this business. The food is decent but OVERPRICED!! I really wish they would adjust their prices to reflect the budget of the clients they primarily serve. read more

I ordered for take out and as I stated I'm my previous reviews is hard to find a good Nicaraguan restaurant in Broward county the food was very tasty and they had alot of dishes that most places don't carry next time I plan on actually dining in as I have passed the place is not very big but it does look pretty cozy everything was nice and fresh and extremely flavorful read more

Best fritanga in Broward County! Delicious food. Awesome customer service. Great value!

This restaurant does not provide prices on their menu. When it's time to pay, they charge taxes on their menu prices and an extra tax on the entire bill. When asked about prices they stated that they are updating their menu which is a lie because I went back several weeks later and their menu still did not have prices. The waitress will tell you one price and the receipt reflects another. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau of Florida to investigate because they are charging extra taxes which is illegal. I have my receipt as proof. I highly suggest staying away from this restaurant. There are better and honest Nicaraguan restaurants in the area. read more

My family and I use to love this place. But prices are ridiculous abusive. Go to Alcatraz Restaurant and great meal. What a disgrace of the owner? read more

Very expensive for what it is...not so good for the price. Regular Nicaraguan food. Carne asada was burnedCarne Asada

This used to be one of my favorites places to eat but tonight they lost me as a customer. Prices are up to the roof. A churrasco steak was $50 .....not even at El NOVILLO, a much nicer, higher end restaurant, with ambiance the BIG Daddy Churrasco is $38. The meat at La Hormiga de Oro was super hard. Not a good piece steak. The gallo pinto was hard like it had been seating there all day. But what really topped it off was the server. We had a party of four and she added her own tip . When I asked her to look at the receipt she quickly picked up and said that it was her receipt and that she would bring me a copy. So so disappointed but I will never go back her. RED FLAGS with the servers. read more

Great food , clean and best waiters ever . Love the food and the deserts . Love coming here to eat carne asada .. read more

The food is amazing and it tastes fresh! The best rice and beans in town. I don't think they have another location, just the one in Hialeah, FL. But it's worth the drive. I don't eat meat, but the size of the meat they serve is huge, my husband loved it. The cabbage vinaigrette salad is my favorite. It's a mom's pap's place, and the food is really good. Enjoy! read more

$70 for 2 carne asada meals, a quesillo, and large cacao. Maduros were at least a day old, there was a hair in our quesillo, and the carne asada tasted very "funky". Do yourself a favor and go to Pinolandia. read more

Siempre visitamos a la hormiga del oro cada vez que estamos en la área. La única sugerencia que doy a los que piden comida pa llevar. Es que abran la comida ahí mismo antes de ir para asegurar que recibieron lo que pidieron. $50 ... ask for fresh rice so they don't do you as dirty as they did us with this day old dried out rice. My order was supposed to be rabo encendido with white rice and maduros NO QUESO FRITO and carne asada with gallo pinto, queso frito and maduros. As you can see in the picture not what I ordered. Don't do what I did and wait till you're home (30-40 mins away) to open your food. read more

Read the comments before going out to eat at this place, better yet, Run from this place!! They're overpriced and wont tell you until they bring you your check. I came here to eat with my fiancé and we had two Carne asada, gallo pinto , plantain and fried cheese. I don't know where they got the meat from , but these people charged me $30 a plate. We paid $60 for two plates of carne asada plus tip. Like come on, this isn't a fancy place for them to charge $30 a plate. I don't recommend this place at all. Like I said RUN!!, or go to the one in Miami Lakes, they have reasonable prices there than this place!! I wish i didn't give them any star. They don't deserve it! read more

Been coming here for years and cant imagine how this place could have the rating it has. The food is incredible. This is a fact. You can have issues with other things but the flavors here are top tier. In all honesty, I dont think they really want to be a sit down restaurant as opposed to more of a "cafeteria." Thats why the service and decor may not be as expected. But back to the amazing food, just endless amount of variety including authentic deserts. And I dont know (and dont care) if the tres leche is homemade or locally sourced but they have THE best tres leche of any restaurant in south florida. La hormiga cant be less than four stars. Go there directly, order carry out, grab a tres leche and leave happy. read more

i went today and go my order from here, I ordered 2 Tamales de pollo and 2 tacos de pollo. I seen how the lady was acting sneaky but I didn't know why. she pretended to not speak with the other lady and turned around as if she was doing something else when I appeared at the cash register. but I didn't think nothing of it. when I got home, washed my hands and sat to eat, I took a piece of meat and bit a little piece out of it since I never had their tamales. and to my surprise inside looked like pork meat. I broke it into pieces so I can see the inside and there it was . why would you give me that meat?? what would've happened if my child and I got an allergic reaction?? law suit with no mercy. You're lucky it's for religious purposes and not health. I will never buy from you again. I will be going to El Portal Maya at least they respect what a customer wants and paid for. I should have never tipped you. And your tacos were flavorless! 0 Review! read more

I go there for 1 food only, the naca tamale. Corn tamale stuffed with chicken, beef, rice, beans etc. super good.

BAD & DISAPPOINTMENT EXPERIENCE So i ordered food for pickup at LA HORMIGA DE ORO in Pines and University Drive. When i arrived my food wasn't ready so i paid and waited, not a problem as i waited for my food i looked at my receipt and the charged me $1.56 (Cash Discount fee) so i asked and the lady her answer was "if you paid cash it would have been lower" i would liked to be told about this EXTRA charge before i pay, then some rude lady comes and tells me they always tell the customer NOT TO ME and points at a sticky note on the plastic window that says it. I told her thats not right and people could charge back their Credit Card. Then she rudly said to the lady getting the order ready to cancel the order and voided my charge and told me NEVER COME back. Its not the $1.56 its how can a buisness charge extra without letting people know, and the way they treat customers. We are all struggling with this pandemia. In the past while eating at the restaurant ive heard the rudness to an employee (Carlos) who always gave us GREAT service, telling him you made the mistake now you have to pay for it, at the time i told the cashier or manager that wasnt right and offer to pay but she laugh and said she was joking. Now the way this lady talked to me yesterday was so wrong. Not only they charge extra but they suggest TIPs, FOR WHAT? I called the other Hormiga de Oro in Miami lakes and they told me they tell the customer before they pay. As much as me and my Nicaraguan wife and daughter love their food, like the lady said NEVER come back. read more

Food is fantastic ! Love this place. I've been going for years and it never disappoints. I don't go for the decor , I go for the carne asada and Gallo pinto. Chicken churasco is my wife's favorite and it's easy for kids to eat. Highly recommend. Great portions and prices. Best steak dishes around that area for sure. read more

Two stars why? Place is dingy and dark. The menu is medieval and crowded, you can hardly understand what is on it and what to choose... FYI: I did not not taste their food... stars are just for looks read more

This little Nica Fritanga GEM is FREAKING AMAZING!!! Introduced to my wife and I via another Yelp Elite member, and boy oh boy, was it awesome!!! The first time we had it - it was take out and I saw how much food there was for the price - i was simply blown away. Freaking delicious - from the Carne Asada, Gallo Pinto (fried rice and beans) and the Fried Cheese.. Ohhh!!! We were in heaven!!! So, the following week - we just had to have it and we live in Palm Beach, so decided to take a drive down to meet our friends and have breakfast there. And again, I was blown away because I was able to check out the menu and saw the food selection for myself as well as the prices and WOW!!! $5 - $10 full breakfast meals which are typically unheard of! I literally loved every minute of it - and this time I ordered a Cacao drink which reminded me of the way my family makes it. It's not a very large place and it does get pretty packed - but I promise you will not be disappointed. We loved it so much that we went again the following day and even ordered (2) huge orders for a party which the food was a major hit! in fact, it was gone within the hour - So you know it was GOOD! Def. a 5 star recommendation and definitely will be coming back to it! read more

My hubby said I better not give this place anything but five star. I truly feel that this place needs some renovation but we're talking about food here. The service was EXCELLENT! I've ordered from this restaurant on a couple of occasions to go. The food is always delicious their carne asada is always made fresh and on point! The gayo pinto as well so delicious!!!!!!! I'm a fan of nicaragüense food especially the fried cheese OMG this place really hit the spot! Can't forget their cacaó They also have a lot of their criollo food and desserts. But I always stick to what I know and love!! This place is located in a shopping plaza. It has good seating for groups. Has tables and booths. Wish I would've taken more pics but I was to busy savoring my carne asada! It was a while since I've had some meat! read more

We ordered through UberEats and are very disappointed. We ordered two of the carne asadas MediumRare and they are completely raw and cold on the inside. We didn't even get one of the sides that is supposed to come with the meals. The pico de gallo has big chunks of tomatoes and onions, so instead of getting a side of pico de gallo, you're getting big pieces of that. We were really looking forward to this place but obviously won't be ordering again. read more

La Hormiga was HORRIBLE!! My goodness from service (lack of). We stood and waited for a table to be ready, the waiter barely cleaned of the table with a rag throwing all crumbs on the floor and chairs we were about to sit on. Oh the chairs are falling apart. We ordered the carne asada with rice and plantains. We ordered one with fried plantains and one with sweet plantains. She brought both orders with fried plantains. We asked for the sweet and she actually charged it as a side order. I also order a mix they have of cantaloupe and OJ. Also disappointed I left the whole drink. It tasted like rotten cantaloupe with bad OJ. We ate the rice and very little meat because we were starving. Will never revisit. Visit Don Pepe next door which is always quality in both service and food. read more

Amazing. This is real home cooking with delicious food and great service. All pandemic measures followed with grace.

Food and Service was awesome. I speak very little Spanish and the woman working the counter was very helpful and explained to me each dish. I got in the car and took a bite of the food and finished it right then and there. Didn't even make it home. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Nica food read more

I'm half Nicaraguan and let me start off by saying this place did not disappoint. I felt like I was eating food made by my family IN NICARAGUA ! My boyfriend who is not Latin said this was so delicious. You must try it even just once. We had chicken soup. I had huevos con chorizo, gallo pinto, maduros and queso frito. My boyfriend had the carne asada (of course for his first time), French fries (I know very gringo of him lol) and Gallo pinto ! So delicious !! Will be coming back !! read more

Some of food are already prepared and ready to eat. Had the beef stew with, sweet plantain and lettuce, carrot salad was delicious. You have the option to order white or rice and beans. I highly recommend the beef stew. I order a pudding was tasty. If you in the area must do, prices average $10.00. I went recently and order the fried fish ( snapper) with pinto de gallo ( rice)and tostones, we also order the fried chicken with tostone. The fish was delicious and rice but unfortunately tostone were raw and the chicken was over cooked. The price was around $40.00 for our meal. our server was courteous and our service was fast. read more
