Fonda Sabaneta - Review - Kendall - Miami - The Infatuation

"A school of fried fish occupies 70% of the tables at this Kendall restaurant. Take it as a sign to also order the mojarra frita. But before that, savor the complimentary cup of warm chicken broth, which they always give you even if it’s not February 17th (Random Acts of Kindness Day). Aside from the exquisite fried fish, the Colombian restaurant makes great tostones topped with guacamole and chicharron, beef and potato empanadas, and agua panela. It’s a place you can count on for a last-minute lunch or dinner. Show up in your Monday worst and you’ll still be referred to as “mi amor” by the sweet staff. Plus, they have a second location in West Flagler in case a free soup journey to Kendall is too far for you. photo credit: Tasty Planet Food Rundown Chicken Broth This small cup of broth is one of the warmest welcomes you’ll get in a Miami restaurant. It’s good as is, but if you add a spoonful of their house salsa, and a lime squeeze, it gives the soup a kick.

It’s crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and a great midday buffer that’ll mute the stress of an intense work week. photo credit: Tasty Planet Morcilla Y Arepita The morcilla has an even rice-to-sausage ratio and comes with a small arepa. Top the morcilla with a little house salsa and stack it atop a piece of arepa for the perfect bite. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino" - Mariana Trabanino
