First visit to this place. Welcomed personally by the owner. Small place, very intimate. I ordered the Loma with peppercorn, and it was fantastic. Perfect temperature, and excellent flavor. The steak was soft as butter and not dry. The peppercorn was caramalized. Truly one of the best steaks I've ever had. read more

My friend and I wanted to explore "new" Argentine eateries around the Miami area, but to my surprise, this little gem has been around the block and back for 10 years. This quaint and cozy neighborhood restaurant has a menu filled with traditional Argentine grill options. You can never go wrong with the "Tablita de Quesos y Chorizo" (unless you're vegan) or the "Ravioles de Porcini" in the creamy pink sauce. The customer service provided by Macarena (an extremely friendly Argentine from Mendoza) will keep this family run eatery a delight to go back to again and again. A+ read more

I was so disappointed. I had been to this restaurant before in its previous location on Biscayne Boulevard and the food and the service was amazing. The food was still good but the service was sadly lacking. The first person who spoke to our table, a gentleman, only addressed myself and not my companion. Then we ordered the same thing but my companion asked for no tomatoes. There were tomatoes . Then we asked for sugar for the lemonade, which was very sour, and there was no sugar in the basket that was brought to us only zero calorie sweetener. At one point my companion had to go find the waiter to bring them the salad dressing they had asked for. And it was not busy there was no excuse for this. Again sadly disappointed as the food was good and previously we had great service but tonight was just not a great experience read more

Super recommended, a small but super cozy place is as if you were eating at an Argentinian's house. Homemade bread, the special chimichurri. The spectacular meat. The unsurpassed attention Muy recomendado , es un usar chiquito pero súper acogedor . La comida súper , la carne exquisita . El pan hecho ahí , el chimichurri espectacular . La atención inigualable . read more

Intimate, quiet restaurant with delicious food. Took a party of six there for Father's Day. Did not disappoint. Staff is very friendly. Owner came to the table. Solid Argentinian spot. read more

Excellent food and service all around. Entrana (skirt steak) was tender and perfectly cooked. Siete Lagos Malbec complimented the entrana with mashed and broccoli rabe. Best meal on the trip to Miami. read more

The food is fantastic, the service is also very very good. There was live music , an amazing evening. Totally recommend.

Tried this place just riding down biscayne and it was very homey and great customer service! I had the ahi tuna salad with grilled zucchini. fantastic meal, really enjoyed the zucchini and the salad was fresh. my partner had the spaghetti and it was below average, the taste just wasn't really there. i would go back to try the short rib or steak. overall you will enjoy! the mayo garlic sauce for the bread was great! read more

What an incredible surprise. Not only were they the only one open in the area at 10pm (which isn't late for someone from ny) but the service was friendly, attentive and happy even when they were about to close. The FOOD.....wow! Incredible taste and cooked PERFECTLY! A must visit and highly recommended. Ate like a champion and well worth every penny! read more

Quaint little place and all the care and attention you would expect. Make sure to order plenty of chimichurri - the basil and balsamic provide a taste that you just cannot get enough of. Also - I'm never one to fill up on bread but the bread and aioli will be the best $3 you're ever spent. Little bread puffs with a tangy spread. I promise you won't be able to stop. I highly, highly recommend this spot. I would go ever night if I could. read more

Delicious! I had the flank steak with chimchurri sauce and mashed potatoes delivered. BONUS.... sweet breads :) They cooked it perfectly and they were quick. The delivery man was sweet even though we did not speak the same language, we figured it out. I'd definitely eat here again. You can trust me I'm in the business:)) read more

Too expensive for the service , food and ambiance. There are plenty of Argentinian restaurants close by and a lot cheaper

Excellent food by surprise! I came here with my husband who is Argentinian. His friend worked for this restaurant before. So I tagged along! The muscles are delicious. Very fresh and great sauce. Canelones is to die for! So tender, tasty and Melt into your mouth! Tuan avocado salad is e element too! Will definitely coming back! read more

I love this place. It's right around the corner from my house and it is my go to spot for steak and other components of the animal that you would generally be embarrassed eating in front of non-meat eaters. The only problem I have is that they give you a tiny amount of sweetbreads every time. I've even asked for a second order and it was the size of maybe one order. It is frustrating to no end but otherwise I love the food and the people there are very nice. read more

What an absolute hidden gem! Driving down from Aventura after a movie date this past Sunday, we decided to stop for dinner somewhere on Biscayne. The boulevard is filled with cozy little spots that are perfect for casual dates but I would've never thought that the quality this place would end up delivering would be as high and satisfying as it turned out to be. Like many of the cozy locales on Biscayne, if you blink you might miss it. Luckily it was still bright out and we were able to park on the side of the building without a problem, The place is no bigger than your average apartment living room, there's a total of 5 tables, wooden decor, a healthy display of wines on a built up cellar and chalk boards with written specials. Lucky for us, Sundays are 50% off of all bottles of wine, not that its needed because the wines are beyond reasonably priced and caters a robust selection of Cabernet Sauvignons, Malbecs (duh!) and Merlots, to perfectly accompany the delicious meats you are about to devour. We got carried away and ended up ordering the Empanadas, a side of their grilled Bok Choy and their Mashed Sweet Potatoes, the creamiest most appetizing orange puree anyone will place in front of you. We decided to share their Parilla (for 2), which entailed Sweet Breads, Argentinian Sausage, Chitterlings, Blood Sausage (the later two for meat lovers and adventurous folk), Flank Steak, Short Ribs, Rosemary Roasted Potatos and a mixed salad. All of this delicious meat came out in two rounds, first the sausages and the like, then the steak and ribs, absolutely perfect! You'd think that after all this food, we walked out with a big hole in our pockets, but the treat only ended up costing us $75, for two?? What a steal! read more

Lo de Lea - Bok Choy, Sweet Potato Puree, and Parillada - Argentine Near Me - North Miami, Florida

Lo De Lea is such a great little neighborhood restaurant! Since it's tiny inside (which gives it a high cozy/intimate/romantic factor) I was almost tempted not to yelp about it just so that we will never have to wait for a table but frankly it's just too good not to share. I'm giving it 5 stars because the food is excellent (a must try: the parillada for two - a delicious big feast that comes with an assortment of different meats, sausages, sweetbreads, chimichurri, and a side of rosemary roasted potatoes, everything cooked to perfection), the wines are great (Argentinian, Italian and some French), the service is excellent (attentiveness that is practically unheard of in Miami), and because I just love the simple but warm feel of the place. Lo De Lea is one of those places that inspires you to linger over your food and wine for hours - an all-around fabulous place for the perfect intimate dinner... read more

I'm glad we made the trip from Kendall. The food was delicious and just as important the atmosphere was perfect. Small,quaint,clean with smooth music playing in the background. Our waitress was very friendly and spoke perfect English which is always good. I had the Entraña and she had the Short Ribs both equally good! The sides were small but just enough. For dessert I had a dulce de leche crepe with vanilla ice cream.....yum yum yum! It's a 12.00 dessert but it's worth it, you even get a small fire show as they flip the crepes to a brown color. Overall it was a good experience and I recommend it for a quiet,secluded, reasonable dinner. read more

Just on Monday, my coworker told me that Argentineans make the best steaks. My partner and I came to visit Miami for MMW just two days after. Low and behold, Lo de Lea was walking distance from our Airbnb. An excellent opportunity to check the validity of my coworker's claim while still fresh on my mind. She was definitely right. That steak was cooked to perfection, covered in my favorite sauce ever (Roquefort Sauce), great sides, and great portion size. My partner got the empanada as an appetizer and said it was amazing. Reasonably priced for steaks in a city like Miami. Very flexible menu with choices of sides. Was a lovely evening and was exactly what we were looking for. And yes Argentineans make the best steaks! read more

During an unexpected overnight layover in Miami - I met with my dad and decided to revisit Lo de Lea... I really think this place is still top notch.. I ordered the entrana which came with papas criollas and they let me switch out the vegetable for asparagus.... AHhh, how i miss argentina.. They serve the meat with salsa criolla, chimmichuri, and provenzal... Excellllennt. My dad ordered the pechuga de pollo - which he cleaned up really fast and seemed to enjoy it... To top it off - great espresso (Lavazza) read more

Forgot to take pics of the appetizers (mussels and empanada) but wow this place is mind blowing. The warm embrace u get the moment you walk into the Resturant. Servers and I believe owner had the biggest smile on their faces. They explained the whole menu, brought drinks and appetizers right on time. Then the main meal came out which sealed the deal ! First time coming here and I know it won't be the last ! read more

A hidden gem. This restaurant was the perfect little date night spot. My bf and I both ordered steaks (ny strip and a filet).. The staff was great, food was great.. highly recommend read more

I've enjoyed plenty of wonderful meals here-- both by dining in and ordering to go-- but tonight was not one of them. Spoiler Alert: Overcharged and under-pleased. $17($1 more than price seen on menu), $16($3 more than price seen on menu) for stuffed polenta. When asked about price discrepancy, they said it was due to multiple prices found on random websites. Believed that until I saw the menu attached to my receipt which confirmed they up charged me. Annoying. Salad was decent, polenta was NOT. read more

This place is awesome, the food here is amazing been here about 6 to 7 times already and I have never been disappointed. The place is a cute little restaurant in the front it has about 6 tables super cozy. The owner is super friendly he walks around making sure everything is good. The food is excellent, we have tried various plates one of my favorite is Tira de asado it comes with sweet potato mash. The little breads the bring you first with the delicious garlic sauce is awesome. The provoleta cheese is very good. For dessert you must try the Dulce de leche pancakes they are delicious. They also have a good selection of wine. The place is not the most affordable but it's great quality. I love this place and would definitely come back. read more

What a (neighborhood) gem. I discovered this restaurant thanks to Tal T. A few weeks ago we had family in town and they wanted steak. After a few rounds of drinks at home, we headed over to Lo de Lea for some (great) food. I am not going to lie. The location is small. However, I love it! It was so cozy and intimate, yet you didn't feel cramped like at other places. You still had space. There was no wait as a walk-in, but it was late - around 10pm. I'd suggest reservations for peak dining hours. Our server was very helpful and patient as we browsed the menu and specials board, and made choices. The tuscan ribeye was delightful. I would order this again. Seasoned perfectly - chimichurri marinated - and then grilled to perfection to medium temp. This dish came with sweet potato mash, which I absolutely loved. One of the best I have had. Silky sweet and savory. Then there were grilled asparagus. Another love affair of mine. Charred and crunchy, with a hint of salt. Exquisite. A perfect meal, imo. Can't wait to visit soon. I hope they stay here for many years to come! read more

We've never been disappointed with our dinner at this cute little restaurant. The service is excellent and kind, which is not the norm in Miami. The Argentinian dishes are authentic and delicious. In addition to the amazing selection of beef/steak dishes some favorites are the salmon, medio Pollo, porcini ravioli and the best bok choy I've ever had - grilled to perfection. The complimentary mini bread rolls are always fresh and served with a garlic aioli. So good! The wine selection is also nice, and you can't go wrong with a meat and cheese tabla. read more

I didn't care for the steak it was too tough to eat and the chicken wasn't bad but the mashed potatoes and corn is amazing

Had the Choripan kids meal which Came w 4 large Rosemary red potatoes and the Choripan sandwich. Potatoes were best thing on plate. Half of the Choripan was burnt. The half that wasn't was great, but I literally threw the other piece on the floor for my dog to eat. I also had the Polenta Rellena. It was good. The tomato sauce was phenomenal. read more

This place is great! Not only is it small and intimate (huge plus for a date night), the staff was very friendly and helpful. The place even has parking and on busy Biscayne Blvd, that's a serious bonus. The food- magnificent!! I had the grilled pork chops with sweet potatoes and grilled onions. Very well prepared. My date has the strip steak with basically same sides and it was cooked exactly as requested. This little place is a mimo gem and recommended. They do also have a small outdoor seating area. The music was house music but not loud. Nice touch. I will come back for sure. read more

So so good. I've lived in MiMo for a year now and regretting not going sooner. Am not a big steak eater, but the steak was delicious. Severed with a beautiful red wine reduction. Other highlights were the bread and pasta with pink sauce and truffles. Will def be returning. read more

Unreal authentic Argentinian fusion food with great service and incredible wine. We got the caprese, polenta, Mahi mahi, and salmon. Each dish has a special flare of Argentinian flavor topped with incredible seasoning and a really intimate environment. Also the portions were huge!! The owner Leandro(?) helped us rescue a stuck credit card (long story). Will definitely be coming back! read more

This place is so welcoming, the owner is so polite and friendly, he makes you feel like home. The wine variety is ample and the environment is perfect to have a a good glass of wine.

Awesome Argentinian bistro on Biscayne Blvd. While the meat looks over the top, everything else was five star. The next time I am going to try the sweetbreads, short ribs, prime rib and other steak but the seared tuna was the best presentation I have had anywhere in Miami. The mahi mahi w a lemon butter sauce knocked our socks off. The polenta w mozzarella and the capers salad were as good as any preparations I have experienced anywhere period. We had an Argentinian Malbec which was superior. Service was friendly, professional and instaneous. We will be back again and again. read more

I went there two nights ago and I was surprised about the local; beautiful, very warmly surrounding, employees friendly and professional!!! The food amazing!!! Also Hernan was always extremely helpful with the suggestions!!! Excellent service. I will recommend 100% and I will be back definitely!!! I am very happy with the full experience . read more

One of the best compliments to give to a restaurant is one word: authentic. I really enjoyed dining here. The fresh rolls served with aioli was so fragrant and fresh. I had the steak which was good perfectly. My only complaint was the potatoes. The potatoes were suppose to be rosemary roasted. They just tasted bland which was rather unfortunate as everything else was top notch. I will definitely come here again! read more
