    Rabo encendido
    Alfredo R.

    What's good yelp back with another review the food really depends I've eaten here quite a few times this time around I went and got the Rabo encendido and it was okay I expected more of a blast of flavors wasn't it but it was at a good price for a lunch special. The service nice as always no complaints there at all. The area it's located in Calle 8 in a plaza specifically dedicated to the restaurant and the club it has on the side plus a shipping company dedicated to Colombia [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice restaurant though definitely shows its pride in cuisine dedicated the their country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sancocho De Res Con Arroz
    Kat R.

    The best local colombian food joint. And that says a lot for me! I say local because it's in my area so it's easy and convenient for me to just call in. The sancocho de res is delicious and perfect made. And the empanadas are fresh, the aji to top it off is super spicy and a perfect combination to the soup and empanadas

    Colombian restaurants rarely disappoint, San Pocho has been a go-to in Little Havana for years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside they have a cute mini market with Colombian products, plenty of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the most remarkable things about San Pocho is the speed of the service. Our waiter was attentive, the food comes out FAST. Faster than any restaurant I've been to in Miami. The food is delicious, the only reason I didn't give them five stars is they overcooked the chicharron on my Bandeja Paisa. Great place, check them out.

    Every now and then I get a hankering for Colombian food and San Pocho was the perfect spot to scratch that itch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located on southwest 8th street and 9th avenue,, this Colombian Restaurant has a pretty large size seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We showed up late and they were closing soon but that didn't stop from getting friendly service. We quickly ordered so as too not impose. We started with empanadas de carne which were nicely stuffed but unfortunate were over fried. They were nice enough to bring out new ones for us and they were delicious. I had a Bandeja Paisa which just has everything you need to get over a hangover. And no I wasn't hungover but it's one of my go to for after drinking meals and it works. So take that as a tip. From steak to arepa to chicharrones this plate has everything. And it was all delicious. And when in Rome, I had to wash it down with an Aguila (Colombian beer). The place also has a small market which instead of sticking around for dessert, we opted to grab a bunch of Colombian candies and desserts from the market. They had a great selection and the kids loved choosing all the candy options. Overall a great spot that I recommend for good Colombian food.

    After moving to the area, I was looking for a good place with good food that doesn't break the bank, San Pocho delivers. The service was spot on during the busy lunch hour. Most tables were taken in the big restaurant at about 2 in the afternoon on a weekday. Always a good sign. The clientele varied widely too. I ordered from the Daily Lunch specials and was very happy with my choice. The meal came with the main protein and three sides. The chicken was super moist and fell off the bone. Overall, this is a great choice for lunch and probably dinner. Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu.

    We're Colombian so we really know what we are talking about, the food was bad , service was good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there is no ambience at all[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    This is the owner many complaints against her check google review.
    Eddie G.

    The owner is the most disrespectful and arrogant person I have ever had to deal with I can't believe her attitude. I work very close to many family and friends that eat there they won't anymore. As I was leaving today the same owner was trying to kill some insects from the bar area.Visitors be careful homeless outside lock your vehicles and don't go after dark.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The moment I walked into this place is forgot that I was in miami. Wow it really looks like a bodega from another country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food here was delicious too. I want to go back and try their sancocho.

    Rocco D.

    Always good service, free parking if you go at the right time. The food is Authentic homemade Colombian food. The soup is very good, the chicken and beef stew are also very good along with the sweet plantains. The rice is good but a little too salty. They give good portions at reasonable prices. They also have authentic Colombian desserts, figs with caramel! They also sell imported Colombian candy and other food items to go. We are regulars there for a reason.

    Plato Montañero
    Marco R.

    My friend and I arrived at this recommended Colombian restaurant, for lunch, the reviews were nice too. The ambiance is simple but organized, the restaurant is spacious and is also a Colombian grocery store. We were immediately seated, service was friendly and welcoming. I never had Colombian food. Due to this, I basically ordered a Colombian food sampler, called Plato Montañero. It came with three proteins, your bread (arepa), and three side dishes. Being in Miami, I had to order Cuban coffee with milk. The dish included a big Colombian beef steak (thin cut), Colombian sausage link, and Colombian fried pork belly. The side dishes were beans, rice and fried ripe plantains. The meats were nicely seasoned, the pork belly was nicely fried and the skin was crispy (pretty much like filipino lechón). The rice was nicely cooked, the beans had pork belly in them, so they were very tasty, to top this off, the dish had two small pieces of ripe fried plantain. Everything was tasty, really like it!

    This is a place full of little treasures.

    We had an amazing dinner at Café La Trova last night with a group of friends who were visiting from…read moreout of town, and it was the perfect choice. We started with the grilled octopus, which was absolutely outstanding and one of our favorite dishes of the night. I also ordered their take on a Moscow Mule, and it was refreshing, well-balanced, and delicious. For the main course, we shared two of the specials--the red snapper and the meat platter. Both were excellent, and the portions were generous enough to comfortably feed our group of six. The atmosphere is what really makes this place special. The live Cuban music, energetic entertainment, and vibrant ambiance create such a fun and memorable experience. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helped make the evening even more enjoyable. A couple of things to know before you go: reservations are definitely recommended because the restaurant is very popular, and tables are limited to a two-hour seating. If you'd like to continue the night, you can always move over to the bar, which keeps the great energy going. If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, fantastic cocktails, and a lively night out, Café La Trova is absolutely worth visiting!

An older waitress served our table. She first brought us calamari that was undercooked, sticky, and raw. She replaced it with octopus, which was more expensive, and we agreed to keep it. We also asked for tap water, but she brought us bottled water instead, which cost $10. The restaurant was very dark, making it difficult to notice these things right away. Before we had a chance to review everything, the food was already served. When the check arrived, she pressured me to pay quickly, so I didn't have enough time to carefully review the bill. Later, I realized we had been charged for additional side dishes that we never ordered, which increased the total significantly. This restaurant is wonderful and doesn't need these kinds of tactics. I only wish they employed more honest waitstaff. My advice is to carefully check your order and your bill before paying so you don't end up spending extra money or dealing with unnecessary stress that could ruin an otherwise enjoyable evening. I truly loved the atmosphere and the food, but I was very disappointed by the service. For me, the ambiance and food deserve 5 stars, while the service deserves only 1 star. That averages out to a 3-star review.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

The bartenders here are artist. The menu appears like a vintage book with history about each drink. But listen honey when I tell you these cocktails are Amaze! Just try anything or ask.to be surprised. Remy was our server and he is freaking awesome and has skills. He helped us choose our cocktails cause everything was sounding like a vibe. The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!

I used to go to the club in my college years. After the hotel was sold, the club moved to the Rocky Horror venue in Coconut Grove. In 1999 after that closed too, the club became a roaming pop up at different South Florida venues. Which is how I came to be at Bar Nancy in Little Havana on a Saturday night. They host a monthly Kitchen Club night. Almost everything was closed in Little Havana by the time I arrived so it was surprisingly easy to find metered street parking only two blocks away. Bar Nancy did not have a cover charge which was nice. The bar is decorated like a pirate ship with many nautical touches. It is named for the brigantine Nancy, which transported war supplies during the American Revolution. The room the bar is located in was small, dark, hot, and crowded. Many people enjoyed themselves on the dance floor in front of the DJ. They also have a backyard area that was popular. My favorite room was the one between the two. It was decorated like the Captains quarters with a couch and comfortable chairs. I could still enjoy the music and more importantly, the air conditioning. During the night I had a delicious Amaretto Sour. Despite the dive bar surroundings, it was a hefty $15. While that is expensive for a cocktail, it was a small price to pay to relive my youth for one evening.
