Wow, what a disappointment. I used to go to their location in MiMo and was pleasantly surprised when I saw them on Uber Eats a few blocks from my house. But what I used to get at their restaurant versus what I was just delivered for dinner are so far apart from what I am used to, I am pretty shocked. They are getting 3 stars because 1) I know they used to have good food from visiting in the past at their old spot. And 2) because the portion of the food was large. But we ordered the parillada for 2 and as Argentines, we have certain standards on how your meat should taste. The onions I received were burnt and half cooked. So clearly, rushed and thrown in a container. Tossed those out. The mashed potatoes tasted like straight up potato mashed up without any added ingredients. I had to add butter, salt and reheat them to make them taste decent enough to eat with the meat. The meat itself, NO flavor. It was not seasoned with salt or anything at all. The asado de tire was chewy and touch. The skirt steak was medium, not medium rare, and had barely any taste. The salchica parillada was underwhelming (Ive had better buying it from Grazianos and grilling it myself). I didnt even bother with the rest of the items. For the price, honestly ($114), this was a waste of money. And the weird thing is that it arrived cold even though I paid for the direct delivery since they are just a 5-8 minute drive from my house. I can tell that the dine in service must be up to their old standards from the reviews, but I will definitely not be ordering from them for take out ever again. Que tristeza. read more

There is no better Argentinian Steak House. Lo De Lea has been in business 13+ years and always consistent quality and outstanding service. There are customers that drive 1 hour just to have a great meal there. Leandro and Dana are the nicest people you'll ever meet. A must in Miami! read more

Our server Sofia was amazing and very knowledgeable. The food was very fresh and large portions. The ambiance was romantic but also great for our family party of 5. They have a great priced wine menu and delicious dessert. We would definitely recommend. read more

Horrible all around!! I do NOT recommend!! I could write paragraphs about how horrible the time management and how the servers were anything but helpful but maybe I just had them on a bad night. What I can't get over is the fact that I paid for rosemary potatoes and received FRENCH FRIES! I also ordered this to the hotel since I was a guest there, and they gave me a PLASTIC KNIFE to cut my steak!! (I understand they can't give metal utensils but at least cut this brick of meat before you give it to someone who obviously doesn't have cutlery on hand!) Also the pricing was absolutely ridiculous for the quality of food! And the last nail in the coffin was that I was up all night due to stomach pain from the food!! I have never made a bad review in my life but this was absolutely ridiculous! DO NOT GO HERE! read more

This is a good Argentinean restaurant that we stumbled upon while on vacation in south Florida. I had the skirt stake and an empanada for appetizer. The Malbec was delicious and the ambience was great. In the background good music was playing and the different accents made the place authentic. I had a good experience with my partner by my side. She had the special, mare a monti linguine. I ended up with a cappuccino to call it a night. Stop by and enjoy the sureño way! read more

Lo de Lea - Empanadas - Argentine Near Me - North Miami, Florida

I had the salad with strip steak and spicy chimichurri sauce on the side. The steak was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and so tender. The chimichurri as a dressing was a little strange, but it was on the side so you could ask for a different dressing if you like. The mojitos were great, and they even brought us post-dinner mini-margaritas on the house. My friends had hamburgers and a filet mignon, and we all were very happy with the food. The mashed potatoes were fantastic! read more

Food was very good. Ambience is very nice. They were very attentive and we will be back and Lucas the server was very good. We appreciate their attentiveness. read more

Great place for breakfast lunch and dinner. Staff is polite and attentive. Would recommend steak on the menu

Excellent dinner outing! Lovely atmosphere and service as well. Everyone in our party raved about the food and service. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Listen guys! Food is fresh and delicious! Typical Argentinian beef cuts and flavors. Service was excellent! Super nice people, honest recommendations from the menu. Best chimichurri in town. Chef Luis Montoya is experienced with the best restaurants in Miami. I give Lo de Lea five stars. Great ambiance and super clean! read more

My go-to steak house. Incredible steak, seasoning, and presentation. The atmosphere is really nice too and they have just expanded with an outdoor patio. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite after grabbing a new phone. It felt like we briefly stepped into another city outside of busy Miami and on Biscayne at that. The food was superb and the service was even better. You never would have been able to tell you were next to the hotel lobby. read more

The food here was good but overall overpriced for what was delivered. Areas of improvement to justify the price would be better plating And presentation of food. I also felt the fish was over cooked but still flavorful. The flan was okay but not worth $13. There is some tweaking that can be done to make this place great. The ambiance was nice and the service adequate. Four stars seems generous but fair at the same time. I wouldn't mind going back but no rush. read more

Hands down...worth a visit and then look forward to eating there again & again! Great, really great food and top notch service. This is one of the few restaurants in the North Miami area where you can be 100% confident that everything will be great. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Ordered the gnocci and churrasco meet to share, the gnocci themselves were ok, but the sauce they were in was amazing!! The churrasco was also pretty good. We also got there 20 minutes before closing and stayed open just for us. So even though it was empty and just my group of 4 people, it was a very nice private time! read more

I was very disappointed in the food in this overpriced Argentinean restaurant. I love Argentinean food and know what good food tastes like. My husband and I had the Milanesa, it was dry, tasteless and over cooked. I can't believe they sell overpriced food that had no seasoning on the beef whatsoever. We wouldn't care about the price, if the food was good. And also my husband asked no eggs on his and they still had eggs on his beef with the running eggs which he hates. Customer service was dry and so was the ambience. Highly do not recommend. read more

yummy food, GENEROUS portions, cozy vibe, and amazing/attentive service. Will be back!!

Super good food! Great service. Homemade dishes. So good! Super cute set up inside. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I have to say this restaurant was incredible! The food was so good! I don't eat meat but everyone else had the meat parrillada and they loved it. I had the canelones and really they were the best I've ever had! The service was top notch. We were a party of 9 and they didn't miss a beat. The owner was wonderful, we had an issue with a overcooked steak and he took care of it right away. Such a great celebration for my dad's 86th birthday. If you like steak you need to try this place. read more

What an unexpected find! Had zero expectations when I decided to go to Lo de Lea. Especially being right next to a hotel. Service was awesome start to finish. Carolina was great and ensured I had a fantastic meal. Steak was perfectly cooked, Chef came to say hi, and the Flan was great. Very reasonably priced and absolutely somewhere I'd return! read more

This hidden gem was an absolutely amazing experience to dine in. We were greeted with kind and very professional people with nothing short of delicious dishes. The environment is cozy, inviting, and warm for both indoor and outdoor seating. I celebrated my 19th birthday and had an amazing time! No complaints, simply a stunning experience! read more

It was my first time here. I went for breakfast. The music was nice. The food could have been better. The service could have been better. The waiter messed up on my order, and I had to wait for the correct food. When I was ready to pay the bill. There was no one to find, and I had to wait till someone resurfaced. I even knocked on the kitchen door, and no one came out. I would not recommend this place if you are not staying at the hotel. It's not worth the drive. Its only upside is the convenience of going downstairs of the hotel. read more

From begining to end, everything was great! Four different appetizers and entrees, all excellent and perfectly prepared. Ambiance and perfect service added to a terrific experiance for all. We'll be back! read more

Quite night on the terrace with some friends. The service was great. Super friendly and as usually we had the pup with us and they were veery dog friendly. The terrace is right off the street but surrounded by hedges so it's kind of private. We ordered two bottles of wine and shared everything we ordered. I was surprised by the quality of the food from such a small space. You can tell the owners and the chef really care about their craft. Defiantly a great meal. read more

I really wanted to like this place we came for a Father's Day dinner the fact the service was slow could easily be overlooked, but the the meal could not. The steak was completely under seasoned and extremely dry. I cook a lot of steaks at home and I feel this steak was not properly thawed and cooked. My son had the short ribs which was also flavorless. Even the fries were underwhelming they had a freeze dry taste to them. The only reason we somewhat finished the meal was that we were all extremely hungry. Otherwise I would have sent it back and just gone home. Safe to say I cannot recommend this place from this initial visit. read more

This place is a hidden jewel. The ambiance is very nice, the waiters are very special. The food is excellent as much in taste and presentation. Nice music playing. An amazing experience. Highly recommended. read more

Had salmon mash spinach and corn. Everything tastes great. The service was awesome and friendly.

High quality and fresh food, you can see the handmade factor, very gentle service, we enjoyed the soccer games there and it was super fun!!! We saw a live demostration about how can you prepare fresh raviolis!!! It was excellent! Nice ambiance!! read more

Great food and great service, every time! The entire staff makes you feel welcome. The place has a relaxed, comfortable ambiance, and a nice variety on the menu. This restaurant never disappoints! We highly recommend Lo de Lea - it's one of our faves in Miami. read more

Food and service was great, nice ambience cute place. I recommend to check it out. Staff is very friendly

Ugghhh you guys have no idea how torn I am between the 3 and the 4 stars, but I'm basing this review on overall experience so I'm sorry but it's a 3. This place however is worth a try and I will definitely be back!! Came for my best friends Bday celebration and had a group of 10. I called in a few days ahead of time to make the reservation which was originally for 8. Not snobby at all this place, which is wonderful. They seat you even if your whole party isn't there and they do not charge for setting up a birthday cake you bring in which is awesome (you'd be surprised, some places actually charge for this service) anyway so they started off to a good start We got there and of course not everyone was on time, and we had two extra peeps show up but they were more than happy to accommodate us. On to the food. I can only speak for what I tried Empanadas- really good flavor but meat inside was a bit on the dry side, maybe this is authentic for Argentina, but I need more moisture with my picadillo. One was very spicy so watch out. The breading was divine!! Shrimp skewer- only came with one skewer and about 4 pieces of shrimp, kind of skimpy for the price if you asked me. Shrimp had great flavor, but was tough, over cooked (I'm sensing a pattern) Ny Strip- ordered medium and was cooked perfectly!! The flavor was a bit bland and I had to add a little s&p, for me that's ok though. I like to taste the true flavor of the meat. Chard on the outside and juicy in the middle, man this steak was good. Sides needed help. No seasoning on the potatoes but a little rosemary, again needed some s&p. Short ribs (sample)- my friend ordered this and it was very overcooked, it's too bad too, because I loved the presentation. This was served with a side of sweet potato purée, OMG, the bomb!!! Delicious, smooth, sweet but not overwhelming. It was really good. Also had a bottle of Postales Malbec which was wonderful. It had a sweet start with a bold dry finish. Very good. Service was nice, I didn't have any issues, although one of my friends mentioned our server didn't know what she was talking about on two occasions. Reviews about hit or miss with cooked and undercooked meat are true unfortunately. I like consistency, if you can't do this then how can you expect loyal customers?? Like I said I would return because it's such a cute place and my steak was pretty good. Enjoy! read more

Small Argentinian restaurant with outdoor seating (though a little too close to traffic for me). Two of us had steaks, the other two pasta. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. Reasonably priced wine list with good options. Luckily for us it's in walking distance. read more

My lady love and I spent our 2014 thanksgiving week in sunny Miami. We had just gotten back from Key West and were a little burned out on seafood. My Boo wanted steak (and I didn't want to drive too far). Thank the maker for Yelp! After about 15 minutes of research I trusted the reviews for Lo de Lea and the customer uploaded pics of those skirt steaks sold me in seconds. We made our way there relatively early. So early, we were the only ones there. While some might be put off by this we relish in it. Uninterrupted access to the server, time to make small talk with the waiter, and of course getting to try 3 different varieties of chimichurri sauce. Since we could really take our time we went all out. Our appetizer was the Empanadas trio and it was absolutely delicious. Forgive me for not remembering the order, but from my picture, the middle one was my favorite. For the main course we each ordered Entraña (Asado Argentina/skirt steak served with roasted potatoes and escarole.) My Boo wasn't too keen on the escarole (endive veggie) so she substituted for asparagus. The meat was cooked to absolute perfection. It melted in your mouth and was seasoned just right. We sat outside on the patio and savored every delicious bite. Dipping the meat into the chimichurri sauce added that final layer of flavor which was just magical. I'm a huge chimichurri snob and while I would have greatly preferred a more traditional vibrant green sauce who am I to argue with the country that created it? We were so stuffed we felt like there was no room left in our tummy's for anything else. Then we saw it on the desert menu. Tiramisú Casero (directly translated: Homemade Tiramisú). How could we pass on this? The answer is we couldn't. We shared a lovely little slice of heaven and it was the perfect ending to a perfect evening. read more

Ordenamos 2 parrillas de dos y comimos 5 personas y nos sobró. Todo muy rico. La parrilla viene con ensalada y papas. El lugar es pequeño pero hubo espacio para nuestro grupo. Tienen parueo para 4 carros (importante en Miami) 4 por el precio diferente de lo que tienen aquí. read more

Nice location, I really enjoy my time there, the food was nice as well. I really like the chimichurri

We love this place the food is always amazing Quality meat, cooked to perfection Great service very nice selection of wine While the place is small we go out to dinner early therefore getting a table is not an issue or we make a reservation Even after the pandemic unlike other places where quality or service have diminish not here still the same I notice there prices went a little up, but it doesn't matter it's great food and well worth it if you're a meat eater this place will not disappoint you The best blood sausage I've ever had can be found here read more

We enjoy the food here, always consistent - wife had lomo and I had mahi this time and the portions were great and everything fresh.

Place was dirty, got a cup of water, and it had stuff in. It got another cup of water, which was also dirty didn't even try the food.
