    Super budget friendly and the food is always served fresh here at Abuelita's kitchen. Tastes just like my Cuban grandma's cooking.

    Tostones and shredded chicken appetizer
    Sergio F.

    If it wasn't for the shredded chicken in the tostones appetizer or the ham in the red bean soup I would almost say I turned vegetarian. Yes unfortunately this was the first time that I have had to leave Churrasco steak untouched. Abuelita's appears to be a more modern branding of the old Epicentro II Cafe at this location, where I last ate back in 2017. The interior may have been remodeled for the most part (they still have the Hialeah maquinitas in the back) but a lot of improvement is still needed. See, I was hungry for some good churrasco today. I looked for a new place and decided to give Abuelitas a try. As I mentioned, the place looks really updated and for a while - my appetizer course - I thought I found a new trendy spot in Hialeah. I ate a couple of delicious tostones cup appetizer. Take a toston (fried green plantain), shape it into a cup and fill it with shredded chicken and melted cheese, and you have the saving culinary grace for this restaurant. The plan was to sample this, take the rest home and enjoy my Churrasco. They became my main course since the steak tasted weird. It was a mixture of over greasy or almost rancid. Needless to say, the rest of the steak sat untouched. Even the fried sweet plantains (maduros) tasted greasy. The only other good dish was the red bean soup. I also did have a cortadito which was good. These are what eek out to two stars. The comments on some other reviews here - and my experience with service at the previous incarnation - on service attention? Sadly they still persist. The waitresses seemed busy chatting with other customers at the ventanita that no one noticed an untouched steak. The cortadito I did enjoy? Well when they finally came to clean my table and give me my bill one asked if I wanted coffee. I just pointed to the cortadito cup , and for the first time in awhile left barely a 15% tip. I really do wish them well, and that ownership continues the remodeling they did of the facade and interior with their service and food prep.

    Great portions!      Bistec de pollo, morro y maduros.

    Visited this restaurant for the first time and unfortunately I was not impressed by the hospitality…read moreneither the food. There were a variety of Spanish tablas, appetizers, platters, sandwiches and also a menu for lunch that included burgers. However I opted for the salmon bowl. The staff member who assisted me wasn't friendly at all. I asked for any fresh juices and she pointed to the juices on top the counter. I ordered a ginger ale. I also ordered fries and I wasn't even asked for the sauces, my ordered came with mayo-ketchup. As for the Salmon bowl, wild quinoa was served with lots of fresh lettuce and arugula with a couple of red onions and thin sliced amount of smoked salmon. Nothing special about this dish just very bland flavor of the salmon and the cheese didn't tasted like mozzarella. As for the dressing the salad was served with mustard vinaigrette. The restaurant looked clean and tidy but it needs to improve on customer service and also get rid of flies inside the venue.

    After a full day of work, the last thing I wanted to do was drive across Miami in search of dinner…read more Fortunately, Miami Lakes has its own surprises. One of them is 1910 Restaurant & Bar, a Spanish-inspired restaurant that blends premium steaks, seafood, and a little theatrical flair without losing sight of flavor. The meal opened with an order of Cheese Balls, crisp golden spheres that reminded me of pão de queijo, except they skipped most of the bread and focused almost entirely on the cheese. The exterior shattered pleasantly, giving way to a molten, creamy center. Paired with a pineapple sauce, each bite balanced sweet and salty in exactly the right proportions. My wife ordered the Australian Wagyu Flap Sirloin, a 12-ounce cut grilled over charcoal and served with house-made chimichurri. It was everything you hope Wagyu will be, deeply beefy, wonderfully tender, and rich without becoming overwhelming. The chimichurri added brightness without stealing the spotlight. Then came the dish that first caught my attention. The La Reina de la Casa, or "Queen of the House." At first glance, it almost feels designed for social media, a cheese pizza crowned with an enormous grilled octopus. I would be lying if I said that presentation didn't influence my order. Fortunately, this wasn't style over substance. The pizza itself stood on its own with a crisp crust and generous layer of bubbling cheese. The octopus, however, was the reason to order it. It was expertly grilled, tender without a hint of chewiness, and seasoned with a spice blend the server politely described as the chef's secret. Whatever was in that seasoning deserved to remain a secret, because it transformed an already well-cooked octopus into something memorable. Dessert brought things back to the classics with a crème brûlée. The sugar crust cracked cleanly beneath the spoon, revealing a silky vanilla custard underneath. Simple, elegant, and exactly the ending the meal needed. 1910 could have leaned heavily on flashy presentations and premium ingredients. Instead, it paired both with thoughtful execution. That's a far more difficult trick to pull off. Some restaurants earn attention because they're photogenic. The best ones earn repeat visits because the food is every bit as impressive as the photos.

    Found this gem of restaurant because who's got a $20 lunch where you can order picanha or filet…read moremignon skewers with two sides...in this economy? At Main Street in Miami Lakes? Unheard of. I found them on TikTok and decided to stop by today and I'm glad I did. When I saw the ad on TT I told myself that the quality was gonna be subpar and boy was I wrong. Perfectly cooked juice-oozing filet wrapped in bacon with chimichurri on the side. The moros(rice and beans) was also a pleasant surprise. I believe they use basmati rice which is different than most restaurants. Crunchy tostones made in house too, not the frozen stuff thank God. And the portions? I couldn't eat it all so there's that. The joint is nicely decorated and it has a full bar as well as a good wine selection. The service was exceptional and even the manager checks on the table periodically so kudos for that too. An 18% gratuity is already included but well deserved nevertheless.

I used to live down the street and would come here at least once a week , other days I would only stop by on my way to work for my favorite Cafe con Leche. There's something about your cafe con leche that makes me fall in love with it every single time. I moved to California where I'm originally from but everytime I have a chance to get on a flight my destination is Miami, this last time I came my sister which she also loved the cafe con leche... now we both GOT To make it to mayors cafe everytime we go Miami.

I will be back very soon! Thank you!

This was my first visit, and we tried a few of their dishes, and they were all decent. To start, I had their Cappuccino, which was delicious and straightforward. I had the Mayor's Skillet Breakfast. It was decent, but it felt like it was missing a sauce or aioli. The skillet was very dry and lacked seasoning. I also tried their French Toast, which was perfectly cooked and fluffy. My sister had the 2-2-2, a classic eggs, bacon, and pancake breakfast, and my brother had The Cid, one of their sandwich. He said it was good, but lacked seasoning. Overall, Mayor's Cafe was decent. The food was okay, but it lacked seasoning in my opinion. If I visit again, I will try different dishes to see if that can change my opinion.
