For a while I was really worried we were going to end up eating at chain restaurants in Miami since…read morewe couldn't find decent food. This was just the closest thing to our hotel. They completely changed my mind and gave us hope for the rest of our stay. The staff were super friendly and patient with us. Which honestly a lot of places in town weren't in the past. Me and the midget had the Churrasco, and bistec de pollo empanizado. AMAZING! maybe just maybe, the score was high because of the disappointment in the food scene here, but it was still amazing to us. If I'm being honest, and hurts coming from Texas, this was one of the best cooked and flavored pieces of skirt steak I've ever had. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Easily cut and melted as we chewed. Yes, yes, and yes! The midgets chicken was also great. Not tough like we expected it to be. Breaded just right, and the breading was seasoned! The sides were ok to good. The white rice was different here. I couldn't pin point, it just wasn't a let down like every where else. The mashed potatoes were our least favorite. It wasn't very flavorful, and didn't really go with the dishes. Little confusing?!?. The fries were good. We also had the bistec de palomilla to go. Let's get to the slight let downs and gripes. When we drove to here, we were expecting a true cafeteria experience. You know you see the items, pick and they serve it to you. The name was a little deceiving. It's also small. The mashed potatoes make no sense, and they were severely lacking flavor. Also, even though it was great, the palomilla was a way smaller portion than the rest of the dishes we had. If it wasn't so affordable to eat here, I would have complained about overpaying. At least we have hope, and my Miami family promised to take us to some other places to show us that not all food sucks here! Heck we may just eat here the rest of our stay!

As I waited for my car to be serviced and it was getting close to lunchtime, I asked the shop owner…read moreif there was a place to eat nearby and she directed me to La Tinajita Cafeteria which is located in a warehouse district. It was the perfect place to grab a delicious and fresh lunch. Although located in a warehouse area, the area is clean and modern. The restaurant is small, clean (very well kept) and has a very cozy feeling to it. I was immediately greeted by a very sweet young lady who took my order and proceeded to to set a table for me. I decided to ask for one of the specials of the day (on a Thursday) and I asked for the baked chicken and sides. My food was served fresh and hot in less than five minutes. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked and the black beans and rice were equally delicious. As I was eating I noticed a lot of take out orders and I am not surprised as the food was outstanding. The location is clean and organized, the bathroom was clean and properly maintained and stocked and all the young ladies working there were outstanding in their customer service. Will definitely return to try other dishes at my next car service!!

Everything was delicious, most had the churrasco but i tried the chicken fajitas with rice and beans and platanitos, they were all delicious! My dad, who is a picky meat eater, enjoyed his steak. We also had my toddler at the table, their high chairs are SECURE. extremely heavy duty and my toddler is a pretty big kid. he ate off of my fajitas and although he can be picky with his food sometimes, he also liked it. They even printed out a fresh coloring page for him. It was a great experience for trying a new place. My family is quick to go to the same restaurants (mostly because of my dad's pickiness) but this was a nice change. at 4pm on a saturday, it's not too crowded or loud (aside from my toddler showing his love for the mango juice by screeching).

It's always so packed that we thought it was an expensive restaurant. So we decided to give it a try. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get a table so that wasn't bad at all. They had live music. We started of with some cafe con leche and waters. Our waiter was very quiet and didn't really speak to us too much h. Which is my only criticism, but I saw the other servers and they all looked very nice. So I won't deduct any points. We decided to do the $40 parilla with chicken. Steak, and sausage with two sides. Gallo pinto and maduros. I got the baked potatoe on the side. And it came with a big piece of queso frito. We spent $60 and couldn't even finish the chicken which was my favorite thing. The usage was great as well especially with the spicy sauce. There are so many good options. They have ribs that looked amazing when the family next to us orders them. They also have a lot of seafood options.

I had some French toast and a coffee, and even with just a few bites you can tell they care about what they're serving. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and you can tell they have a strong group of regulars. It's the kind of place where you don't feel like a customer, you feel like you're stepping into a family environment. There's a real sense of culture and community that you can't fake. A lot of people look for a vibe when choosing a restaurant. Here the vibe is family. Great food, good energy, and if you come at the right time you might leave with a clean car too.
