What a disappointment! In a time where the economy is struggling, every dollar counts. Most people will spend money going out for good food and service. This restaurant has neither. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is not worthy of the name.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was poorly cooked, served and both servers, Juan and Beatrice were rude and disrespectful. All the elements of a restaurant in its period of decline. read more

Detailed Sevice, quality food and unbeatable prices! Great traditional larin food for all!

4 beef empanadas are ok they are fresh but I wouldn't order again bc they tasted over fried not greasy , stuffed , very crunchy Do not get the lemonade bc it is very watered down , our server was very kind and without us asking she changed it and gave us a new lemonade which tasted much better Sobre barriga en salsa good very soft and juicy Bandeja paisa do not recommend . I got it with carne asada because you have the option to get it with carne molida .The Meat was dry and small compared to other bandeja paisas .one of the plantains was burnt , the arepa was not good it was stiff and dry . The beans ,rice and chicharrón were my favorite part. It did not come with avocado which is a need for me . Ajiaco was delicious probably the best plate of our table Calentado do not recommend , meat was dry [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is pretty tight, lots of seating but to get through it was pretty uncomfortable since there are a lot of people when I go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The staff was attentive and patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm glad we got to the restaurant when we did because the atmosphere was buzzing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is plentiful and flavorful. We started with empanadas, hefty and deep fried in corn meal. Then we got a platter with tostones, carne, blood sausage, smoked sausage and chicharrones. Then we had bowls of the traditional soup with either beef or chicken, which is the chicken and potato broth served tableside with a plate of rice and a chicken quarter. Needless to say, we left full and happy. 6 people including tip was less than $200. read more

The worst service ever. First waiter (Patricia) very slow didn't even came back to ask if we wanted anything else. The second waiter (Juan)Very disrespectful. The quality of food very poor. Never coming back read more

Horrible customer service! They close whenever they want despite it saying they close at 6. And very rude also. Take your business elsewhere read more

I love love love love their soup. I think it's a must order. It's a classic Columbian soup. So flavorful and hit it just right. The restaurant is usually pretty busy but not to a point where you need reservations. Me and my family always love coming here whenever we are craving for some good soup. read more

Bandeja paisa, empanadas, águila! Doesn't get any better than that, our server was very nice and the food was great. Highly recommend the batidos as I've loved them since I was a kid. read more

First time eating Colombian food. Delicious. Had the sampler, topica monserrate. Dessert is all good too!

Decent Colombian restaurant located in doral area. Small restaurant but cozy. Good for a quick lunch, pretty good prices. My top 3 things to get: Ajiaco - Colombian soup ( delicious flavor and full of protein, potato and corn. EMPANADA DE CARNE - beef turnover, ( fried, yellow corn dough stuffed with seasoned pork and beef mixed with cooked potatoes ). BANDEJA PAISA - ( Platter with chopped beef, grilled steak or chicken, rice, red beans, pork rinds, white corn tortilla, fried egg and sweet plantains ). The service was good and the waiter was pretty attentive, things came to the table pretty quickly. ( took long to bring the bill ). Cons: the place can be cleaner and neater. read more

Monserrate Restaurante - Colombian Empanada de Carne - Colombian Near Me - Doral, Florida

Awesome authentic Colombian restaurant in Doral. Today I started with meat empanadas and for the main plate had the Tipica Monserrate con Carne Molida (if you're familiar with Colombian dishes, it's a Bandeja Paisa on steroids... hahaha), a large platter overflowing with rice and a fried egg on top, chopped beef, red beans, pork sausage, blood sausage, pork rinds, fried green plantain, fried sweet plantain, boiled salted potato, and a white corn arepa... and wow, everything was beyond delicious. I also had a pitcher of refajo, a tipical beverage made up of one part Colombian beer and one part Colombian soda... yumm. Finished with a carmel flan that put a huge smile on my face. Service and prices are the best. read more

One of the best Colombian restaurants in my book. I have been coming here for years. A staple within my family. Everything from their soup and empanadas to their bandeja paisa. Just know that it is always packed and during lunch their is a wait list. read more

This place has been around since 1974 and they are STILL serving great dishes! -Interior is a Spaniard-feeling old school vibe. -Service is 9/10 times on top of everything. -COVID-19 restaurant measures are in place. -Food, So far, everything I've eaten has tasted really good. They make an amazing Mojarra Frita (Fried Fish) that has hints of butteriness and the crispy parts are so savory! The grilled flank steak is good, but I'd highly recommend the one in sauce, which is so tender and packed with great flavors. read more

Make sure you check when you place your orders. I asked the girl who helped me to please cook some fresh chicharrones to go. When I checked, my 1st order was good, and they looked new, my second order was under the first one, and I assumed it was the same when I got home. There were dry and old‍since I was traveling, I never got the chance to contact the restaurant. read more

Monserrate Restaurante - Chicharrones - Colombian Near Me - Doral, Florida

Very delicious and authentic! Best Colombian food I have tasted in Miami. Get the Chicharrón and arepa con queso.

Great Colombian cuisine in Doral. My dish was delicious, fresh ingredients in the steak was cooked to perfection. The only downside is the wait staff seem to be a bit disorganized. It seemed to take longer than necessary to get simple things like a water refill, more napkins, or even the check. Other than that a solid establishment none the less! read more

The best Authentic Colombian restaurant you will find in Miami. From the family ambience, to the warm welcome when you arrive, you will not be disappointed. On Saturday and Sunday my family always orders the soup on the menu. In which usually consist of I'm on ajiaco, soap de res, or mondogo. Arrival before 2 PM is highly suggested to get the soup since it does run out early. I have been going to this establishment for the passed 20 years and nothing seems to have changed. Can wait to go back with my family on the weekend. read more

This place is seemingly busy at all hours because the food is so authentic. So when you come in chances are you'll have wait to be seated. As soon as you enter, find an employee to get placed in the queue, and receive a beeper. Note that there is no dedicated hostess/host waiting for customers coming in, so you might need to hustle in order to find an employee to place you in the queue. Don't stand there in front of the door like a statue. Also, parking is always a chore. Or perhaps that's just a Dade county problem in general? read more

Chuleta valluna rare. We ordered through Postmates, never had a bad experience but this is just absurd. If you are planning to go to the restaurant do so. Delivery... nah. Don't wait your time, they don't take the time to do it right. Que desilusión este lugar lo visitamos mucho y siempre ha sido súper, el servicio y demás. Pero hoy no :Nos llego una chuleta de cerdo cruda. Lo pedimos por postmates, y la verdad nunca habíamos tenido una mala experiencia pero esto es absurdo, como si el cerdo se pudiera comer crudo. Si vas pal restaurante, está bien, si vas a pedir domicilio no perdás el tiempo. Que desilusión. Si supieran todas las ganas que teníamos de la chuleta. read more

Love, love their soups! SOO GOOD and tasty!! But come early bc they are not messing around.. usually they run out of their daily soups by 1-130 pm!! read more

I love Colombian food and this restaurant is one of my favourites. I had the Sancocho de res. It is a soup with meat, yucca, corn, potato and served with white rice on the side. Was delicious. Also the empanadas are really good. The only inconvenience from this place is that around 2 PM they are out of Sancocho. It is very popular! I usually call to make sure they still have. The location is in doral, very convenient for all of us who work in this area. They have a medium size place but it is always full and you are just 5 inches away from the other table. The service is a little slow because they have to attend so much people. Anyways, I really recommend this place! read more

Monserrate Restaurante - Sancocho de res! - Colombian Near Me - Doral, Florida

very sad to say i order lunch for me and my mom that it's been a while we ate from here. and i wish i could give it half a star ;( order bandeja with ground beef it was ok it was pretty chuncky and not the dusty way colombian do it. the beans lord all they taste was like maggie pills and yellow and mom order mondongo another disappointment also had no flavor just like maggie. the empanada was made from a different masa that don't taste like the traditional ones. i do have to say it's a shame how there food has changed i recall like 40yrs ago when they first open and my parents took me as a 6-7 yr old they were in the NW area a little shopping center than moved across to a stand alone corner place they were the bomb the owners owners knew my dad back then not that many Colombians back than but they sure knew how to cook in those two little places that they moved up from to the doral area read more

This place has an ambiance of a restaurant in another country (vacation feel). That's it for the compliment. I took my team out for our holiday lunch and to make a long story short a ROACH was in my teammate's salad. Diego the manager did not handle the situation correctly. I would never go back there and I recommend you do not either unless you like roachy food. read more

My sister wanted to celebrate her birthday here so we went last night. I can see why she would want to celebrate there! The food was amazing! I had something called un Calentado, which is a tiny bit smaller than the bandeja Monserrat but equally delicious! Had a pice of steak, rice and beans mixed with chicarron a fried egg and an arepa! It was definitely a great buy for $7.95! I even took half of it home with me Sotheby's serving was plenty for one and then some! I also tried a bit of the beef soup which was really tasty and cat wait to go back and try a big bowl of it! The service was amazing! Our server was very nice and had what sounded like an authentic Colombian accent. He even brought me some Guanabana juice to sample! I definitely will be coming back and hopefully more often! So happy my sister picked Monserrat as her restaurant of choice to celebrate her birthday! read more

From my last visit service and food improved majorly which is a plus. Price range from $5 - $17 dollars which is fine, they do offer lunch specials. Private parking available. I had the Mondongo Soup which it was delicious until apparently there was a hair (the hair is mainly because the Mondongo wasn't clean properly) on my Soup which couldn't finish it. Will not be ordering soup but my parents order Mojarra frita and they loved it! read more

Centrally located in Doral on the northeast corner of 41st Street and 97th Avenue right behind McDonald's. Parking spots are super tight and the lit is super crowded at lunch time. We went there at 6:30 PM and there were about 14 police finishing their dinner and leaving. The menu's daily specials are only for lunch .... not dinner. We had fish for dinner and it was very good. My side dishes were rice and beans. My wife had rice and tostones. We had two critical areas for our 1-star critique. 1 - service. It seemed like the waiter had been there since lunch and was tired. No smile. No cheerfulness. Just blah. 2 - food. The tostones were cold and hard. I think they were made that morning and were left on a shelf. Just nasty. read more

The meal was good but after we finished eating with a party of 8 we noticed a cockaroach crawling on the table. We informed the waiter and the waiter mentioned the day before they had fumigated the place! Why would they fumigate the place the day before they serve food? It won't be long before they shut this place down! I hope someone is inspecting the kitchen!! read more

My favorite Colombian restaurant in Miami. I've been coming here for over 10 years. It is consistently good and the prices are very affordable. They have the absolute BEST Colombian empanadas (you can also get them frozen to go). I always get an empanada... and then I want to order everything. I have probably tried every item on the menu! Their soups are spot on - always an amazing option. You just can't go wrong with anything here. Oh and the service. They're amazing. Super friendly and very attentive. They're always busy, and the service is always great. read more

Very nice restaurant, Colombian food is really nice. This restaurant offer three things that I love. 1. Fresh food from scratch I would say. I always order the sancocho de res very tasty recipe and hot as well as I like it! . The last time I visit them I change my mind and I ordered a chicken breast the rice on point the beans very hot and tasty and the chicken well, it was amazing experience. 2. Customer service it's really nice they are very careful with the orders and funny guys always smiling. 3. Prices are very good, not too expensive and very comfortable environment. There is something that I don't like. The space between the tables is quite short. If you fix that it would be a 5 star place in my opinion. See you next time sancocho. I will eat you. read more

It's a small place, nothing fancy but food there was really good, I had Mojarra frita, , another guest in my party had Bandeja paisa wich was really good and tasty, the chicharron was perfect, meaty and crusty, the Mondongo was really delicious,and the Chuleta de Cerdo was huge and tasty too. I felt like eating back in Colombia.service was good and fast read more
