Mi Fondita - Review - Hialeah - Miami - The Infatuation

"Do people in Miami work? We ask ourselves this when we walk into Hialeah's Mi Fondita, which is always packed at 2pm on any random weekday. But this casual Colombian spot is so much more comforting than your average nine-to-five. Servers call you “mi amor” and kindly guide you through their extensive menu. Sauces come in cafecito cups and the staff smiles at you with the same genuinity of a golden retriever. For a quick and filling meal, get the arepa rellena mi fondita. It's generously stuffed with steak, chicken, chicharron, and comes with a hefty side of fries for only about $13. All of the empanadas are good, but definitely order the beef ones—their filling is like an unexpected good morning text from a loved one. We understand why lunch here might lead you to ponder spending the rest of your weekday afternoons at Mi Fondita, jobless yet full of vim." - Mariana Trabanino
