Service is very bad, we waited for 50 minutes to be served two soups and waited and no service. We finally walk out of this place and will never return to a place as such. Realistic its not a good food at all, mostly very salty and bad fat, the rice is only white, the cheapest rice. :( read more

Giving Macita's an updated review because guess what... I returned! Lol Freshly baked pan de bonos got me thinking ...why not?! Gave them another chance and i'm glad i did. Either under new ownership, management, or attitude adjustment, but service is actually great! Love their breakfast, and as mentioned, the best pan de bono breads! They are doing a good job wearing masks and quickly cleaning after tables leave. Good going!!! Much appreciated. read more

This is our favorite go to neighborhood restaurant! The food is always tasty, the service is impeccable and the prices are right. I honestly haven't come across an item in the menu that is not great. Love appetizers, breakfast, dinner items, pastelitos and desserts. Excellent Colombian home made food!! read more

The food was delicious. I had one of the stuffed omelettes. I couldn't drink any alcoholic drinks at the time but I will be visiting again because the sell Presidente beer. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean. Great place for families or having lunch with friends. read more

Just came back with my husband. He's not crazy about Columbian food but I love it so I twisted his arm a little. He hasn't enjoyed previous entrees from this location in the past. But this time he got the breaded chicken with black beans and rice. And he LOVED it. I had soup and empanadas and a very overpriced homemade lemonade. Everything was wonderful except for the price of the lemonade. Since they do not advertise their drink prices on the menus you begin to assume everything is the same price. I think I paid $4 or $5 for a small glass of their lemonade. Which was delicious. I'm glad I didn't order a refill though. Below is my previous review. Excellent food. I usually order takeout. Portions are generous, as with most Latin restaurants. read more

Let me start off by saying that food is delicious and always on point but these are the reasons I give it 2 stars: 1. The servers are terrible. If you ask for something they forget and when you ask for it again they give you a dirty look. No one will ever pass by and check on you to see if you need anything. 2. I come here for lunch often because the food is good and it's cheap. Be prepared to wait about 30 minutes for your food to arrive even if it's just a sandwich because they do take that long. The servers almost always bring out the food in parts which I hate because my food gets cold. I am huge on customer service and although the food at this place is really good and plentiful the customer service is terrible. The owner or manager usually always comes around asking how everything was and I unfortunately have to always give her the bad news. read more

Very authentic Colombian food. Everything tastes delicious and Colombian! Servers were very attentive and gave great recommendations about the menu. Also, service was fast and on time. Food was serve hot. Empanadas were running behind because they were cooking a batch when we were there; however, server let us know about it. read more

Im giving it 1 star because the food is good. But service here is HORRENDOUS!!!!! extremely rude staff. We sat down for 20 minutes just waiting on the water. Another 45 waiting on food after our waitress finally showed up (with a terrible attitude). Honestly, I would never return due to the worst possible service. GO ELSEWHERE read more

4.5 A happy accident. On one ambitious Saturday, I took off for points south in search of a gourmet donut shop. The reviews were fantastic, the pictures were mouth-watering and the location was entirely new to me. Gal Friday and I hopped in the car and started the drive. I didn't quite know where I was going but my handy dandy Yelp app led the way. Unfortunately for us, the donut shop had closed on Monday. Cursing any and everything within the sound of my voice, GF took it upon herself to save the situation and find us some food. After all, were were far from home. After pouting and denying the first couple of options (me), GF scored big when she decided upon Macitas. I'd never heard of it, didn't know where it was and wasn't quite sure I was in the mood for a heavy meal. I'd driven this far south in search of donuts, not substantial food. All of my hesitations flew out the window as soon as I sat down and looked at the menu. First things first, brush up on your Spanish if you come here. The waitstaff I encountered wasn't too bilingual. I can get by (when it comes to food, drink, yelling at people, and booty calls) in Spanish, so we were fine but if your Spanish is a bit rusty (or, non-existent) brush up on your charades skills. Before I could get to ordering, I was distracted by all the cute kids. I'm guessing Macitas is a family spot? There were babies everywhere. In particular, there was this one Dominican toddler across from us that was sending my biological clock into overdrive. I need to get my act together and start having some babies. -_-. You know what I mean. Even GF was smitten with this kid. So, another fun fact: don't come here if your significant other is on the hunt for babies. You'll lose that battle. You will become a parent. Trick loves the kids! Okay. Food. There's lots of it. Wear some stretchy pants and get to work. I ordered the shrimp in garlic sauce. Besides receiving camerones as big as my hand (thanks, BP!!), my plate was loaded up with tostones, rice and red beans. If the heat or spice profile wasn't to your liking, there were a few different sauces to add to the bounty on the table. The portion size is out of control -- and that's a good thing. In that moment, I understood that this was a family restaurant... because the entire family can eat off of one plate. I have a very healthy appetite. I can take down copious amounts of food. I was struggling to get through all of this comida; that's a good thing. It hurt so good. What helped me besides running commentary from GF? The Sangria. It's, like, juice.... delicious delicious alcoholic juice... with fruit! In all honesty, after were were finished, we needed to sit at the table for a while in order t gather our strength to walk. Yes. It's true. USA! USA! So, here's a last tip: come here with someone you can let it all hang out in front of (I know it's a dangling participle). This ain't no place for the weary kind. read more

i had a big order and git told to wait 10 minutes and they gave me supposedly my order i had for a rode trip and 20 minutes in i look into bag and i only was givin half my order read more

Ordered the porgy dish which is a fish and they brought a yellow tail snapper which is a rabirubia in spanish, their snapper dish on the menu is called "pargo" which is a red snapper so it shouldn't have been a yellow tail snapper but I digress.. I let them know I ordered a porgy dish and not the snapper so they said they were sorry and when they brought out the porgy- it was a tilapia!! I let them know their mistake, a tilapia is a fresh water fish not an ocean fish and certainly not a porgy! They said they call it a porgy, I let them know a tilapia is not a porgy no matter the language .. they brought out the manager and I let her know the same thing I told the server, a porgy is NOT a tilapia.. they looked annoyed but said they would just bring out the "pargo" (red snapper) instead since it's an ocean fish, again another yellow tail snapper was brought.. I ate it and was charged $40 for this fish dish because it was "market price" .. of course they could insert any number here at this point to make up for all the changes they had to make.. the tip was also included. I'll never come here again. The manager doesn't know her fish and whoever the fish supplier is, they're scamming this restaurant big time. The menus definitely need revision and the fish served should be labeled properly on the menu to avoid the confusion. read more

The food is really good and the closest thing to a homemade meal to go. The bandeja paisa is delicious and so are the beans. I also love the empanadas. read more

Hands Down The Best Colombian Empanadas Anytime I am in the CutlerBay area a quick stop for an empanada and café is a must! read more

Clean and spacious. I love a restaurant that I can sit down and not be on top of the person right next to me. No frills but very authentic Colombian joint with regional dishes and combination platters. For $12.95 you get a dish of rice, carne asada steak, chorrizo, plantains, deep fried whole bacon, sunny side up egg, and a bowl of stewed red beans. And I can not forget the bakery that serves warm Colombian bread, arepas, and empanadas. read more

Authentic Colombian cuisine. Every single time my father and I have to drive down to where Macitas is. There is absolutely no question about where we will be eating for lunch. It will be here without a doubt. Their delicious food is honestly hard to compare.. even to high end over priced Colombian restaurants. It's truly a treat. My favorite way to start my lunch there is with their Colombian empanadas. You have to have them! And my favorite dish is their Carne asada with frijoles Colorados and arroz and maduros. My mouth is watering as I write this review just thinking about it. This great food is matched by nice service and a great price. If you are in the area and are wondering if you should eat here. Let this review convince you. Try it out! read more

I frequent this restaurant at least 2-3 times a month for lunch. I always ask for Tita, she is the best server this restaurant has on staff. The service is always very quick and the food is literally the best Colombian cuisine in the Town of Cutler Bay. Atmosphere is very casual, lunch specials are incredibly cheap and the portions are perfect. Their chicken soup is so good, I have a cup every time. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. read more

If you like mid food and waitresses with attitude come here. The food is not it. It's bland, tasteless, white rice and canned beans with a tiny skirt steak and no avocado on the bandeja paisa. The chimichurri tasted like days old and way too oily. I see why there aren't too many good Colombia restaurants, it takes a lot of work to make authentic delicious Colombian food and these people aren't putting the work in. It's not inedible either but for that attitude I want to see food that is 10/10. For 34$ a bandeja paisa should at least have avocado. They can't even get the egg right it was too burnt. Definitely bottom three places of restaurants I've ever been at. They need new food, new waitresses, new chef, new attitude, cleaner tables etc. Years ago I was here and received the same attitude but the food wasn't as bad as it is now. Save ur cash and go to pollo tropical they won't disappoint you. Toodles. read more

It's only 3 stars because the food was very good. Not too salty or oily, and the portions were not overwhelmingly large like other Colombian restaurants. The meat came on the side of the sancocho w/ sauce on it and I found that quite unusual. Red beans were awesome! Juices are not natural and made on the spot; therefore, making them too sweet. The service was poor. They're running around like chickens without heads here. Be aware! read more

Walked in hungry craving for a Pandeja Paisa. Wow, what a great idea to allow you to choose what kind of meat you'd like to have with it. Nice Colombian restaurant to come in for some authentic food. read more

Macita's Restaurant - Front entrance. - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

Columbian restaurant in South Dade. It's in a shopping center with Publix & is right next to the subway. They have good fried pork chunks (chicharron) and areapas. Service was also good as the waitress was honest about the portions & didn't make me over order food. The Bandeja Paisa con Carne Asada platter is very popular. It comes with white rice, beans, pork rind, egg, steak, sausage, plantains and arepa. The fresh juices are also amazing & there is live music on Saturday nights. read more

I literally say no stars!! Delivery available only certain time sometimes none at all for 2 days in a row. Horrible service they don't like to make substitutions on anything. Literally they don't care about the customers I only live 3 mins down the street n I have no car sometimes this place this to change and improve! read more

Really enjoyed my meal here the staff was really nice and sweet and the bandeja paisa was on point. Prices are fair. read more

I have been waiting to review this place until I tried the mondongo. I usually order takeout but mondongo tends to be over by the time I call. Mondongo is tripe/stomach soup. I ordered the bandeja paisa with steak, a large mondongo, and for dessert arroz con leche and capriccio (it's like an almond custard). I truly wish I had been able to write a five star review but the food was just subpar. The portions are big, it was definitely a filling meal for two. Starting with the bandeja paisa. The rice, beans and plantains were good. The steak was tiny, smaller than other times I've ordered. The sausage tasted odd I can't really put my finger on it. And the chicharrón was just ok, kinda chewy. The mondongo was good. Definitely the best in the cutler ridge/homestead area. But not the best I've had. The arroz con leche was bland. Now the capriccio was delicious! I would be going back for that. As far as Colombian food it is not the best in Miami. But it will satisfy your tastebuds if you are craving some in this side of town. read more

The meat was deliciopus although staff did not put silverware in the bag and the salad did not have any dressing. I order mango smoothie which was watery and I order the milk type. I also order the arepa corn which are delicious. read more

The prices have increased and the portions have diminished. Despite the economic changes, we continue to support our local businesses. However it feels there's not much appreciation for customers. We take a back seat to customer service, we get less for more money and when you ask for the salsa to accompany the meal, they ration 1 per plate which satisfies half the meal. read more

My boyfriend and I are regulars at this place and the pan de bono and Colombian empanadas are CONSISTENTLY delicious! Certainly the best around. Occasionally they get busy and the dine-in experience isn't the best, but the bakery has never let us down! If nothing else, come here for fresh crispy empanadas, fire picante, and warm soft pan de bono. *Chef's kiss* read more

Excelente! Siempre voy y me atienden como un rey y la comida es excelente, siempre llevo a mis conocidos para que los conozcan

Service here is terrible. Never a smile on the face of the hostess or the people working the counter. It's almost as if we're lucky to be in their presence. read more

Where do I start, I have lived in the area for over 17 years and been a patron for 15. Food quality is good but not as great as before. But the main concern is service. I visited the restaurant and the food took forever to come out. Waiters don't care and seems like the kitchen even less. Not a great experience. I will understand if the place was full and they were overwhelmed. Not the case. I will make sure that I can share my negative experience with as many people as I can. What a shame.... Not good, owners do something about it!!!! Other wise need to find another place to eat... read more

Beware! Price gauging! I've notice this trend more and more lately from small restaurants like these, where wait staff over charge you on numerous items off menu. And when you call them on it they say the menu doesn't reflect the additional "Covid fee" or they simply admit they screwed up. Which Is exactly what happened to me when I asked to see the menu again at check out when I notice the 30% price gauging. Not the first time it's happened to me so I'll never return! Careful! read more

May 18,2019. My wife and have eaten at macitas several times and with friends, but on this day we ordered from uber eats: 2- columbian steak dinners. The steaks were rotten with a foul smell, ended up throwing them in the trash!! Weve never had a problem with your food, quite delicious and generous portions! But how could someone not of smelled what you expect a loyal customer to eat!! That was gross, i hope you read this and pass it on to your manager and kitchen crew!! "I WAS EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED"!!! read more

Make sure you brush up on your Spanish before walking in the doors... Spanish speaking ONLY staff. From the time you walk in you feel you have entered Columbia. From the decor to the music it resembles South America. The servers was very attentive and the food was outstanding. Tonight I ordered the Churasco Estrada. It came out on a plate VERY fast (10 minutes absolute tops)still cooking as it came to the table along with 3 sides. The steak wasn't as rare like I like it but it was still delicious. The server was very nice and attentive. She kept coming over and seeing if I needed a refill. Although there weren't very many smiles she was very kind hearted and hard working. This is definitely a great place for a Los Ranchos type feel in a place typically lacking great food. Prices were a little steep but the quantity of food justifies the price. read more

The food is good but the customer service it is horrible! I wait one hour for a soup. I was about to go to the kitchen and serve the soup by myself read more

We've been coming here for years. The place is pretty much always full but the weight is well worth it. Food always taste fresh and hot. We come for breakfast mostly but the dinners are also good and the portions very good for the price. read more

Like many other reviewers, my boyfriend and I frequent Macita's often. Down south, it's definitely the best Colombian food you can get (although definitely not the best Colombian food in South Florida). However, the service, although at one point pretty good, is now pretty awful. I don't remember the last time we didn't wait at least 15 minutes to have someone come to merely take our drink order. The waitresses never look you in the eye, but rather are always distracted by what's going on at the bar or elsewhere in the restaurant, leaving you feeling like they're not paying attention. I've received cold food, only to receive a half-ass apology and to have them microwave it as a solution. The waitresses always look annoyed, or like they can't be bothered. So yes, food is generally good, but service is generally not. I mean, obviously management is to blame. So I suggest this otherwise good restaurant get there service and employees in check before they start losing loyal customers. read more

Very bad service after 20 minutes I asked where's my soup after seeing other people get served that came to the restaurant after us they went to the back to check and came back and said do you still want the soup the nerve such horrible service they were more concerned about a multi patron table then a couple waiting for their food we got up and left not coming back horrible the food steak chicken was salty previous time it was the mix meat dish read more
