"This classic Dominican restaurant and nightclub has been around since the ‘80s. From Monday to Thursday, El Típico functions as a restaurant and serves solid versions of Dominican staples. And while it definitely looks like you’re dining in a nightclub, weekdays here don’t feel clubby. It’s actually an ideal place to enjoy a quiet, casual meal. Even on weekends, when they may have a live music act straight from DR, the vibe feels more like being at a house party than a club—and you can still get something tasty to eat." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"This classic Dominican restaurant and nightclub has been around since the ‘80s. From Monday to Thursday, El Típico functions as a restaurant and serves solid versions of Dominican staples, including a great tripe soup with light, tender pieces of tripe. Other hits include one of our favorite versions of stewed oxtail in Miami, a generous serving of stewed goat, and one of the best chicken tamales we’ve tasted (that’s made even tastier with a dunk in their creamy pink sauce). There are plenty of tables to eat at, but we like to pull up to the bar, where it’s very easy to strike up a conversation with a stranger.

We had great drinks at the restaurant but the food was terrible and beyond over cooked. They were not clear on the prices once we ordered. We were charged 90.00$ USD for the two plates of food I provided in this review. We drove home and opened the food and realized how disgusting everything turned out and we took the food back because nobody should be eating food so over priced dog food. We will never go back ever AGAIN.

This is some of the best Dominican food I have ever had. As good as on the island! Fresh-flavorful and generous portions. VEN!

I order my lunch here once a week. Food is pretty good, pricing is reasonable. When the older Dominican lady worked there I never had a problem. Today I went to pick up my order and the people were clueless. Claimed they never received my order. I wasted my lunch break driving to and from here. If it happens again I won't be going back.

My coworkers and I wanted to give this restaurant another shot. We ordered 3 plates of Oxtail (Rabo) with rice & peas. Very disappointed as the food wasn't fresh. The meat wasn't tender, and the rice was overcooked.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tipico Dominicano to cater a lunch for a group of 5th graders, and they exceeded every expectation! The staff was incredibly organized, punctual, and made the entire process so easy. The real standout was the food!It's clear that they take pride in their ingredients and preparation. I couldn’t recommend Tipico Dominicano more highly for anyone looking for great catering, whether it's for an event like ours or something larger.

Took 40min or so to get the food. We ordered: chivo stew, the flavor was good but the portion was small and it was mostly bones and no meat at all. The churrasco was dry, and again, super small portion for the price ($34). We ordered it with a side of dominican salad, but it was only some lettuce and 2 tomato slices, very poor food quality. In terms of service, it was Halloween day so the waitresses were more focused on looking good on their costumes rather than giving a good service to the customers. I'm pretty sure there are better Dominican restaurants out there. It was overall a very bad experience.

Friday didn't have many patrons, and the ones that were present were there for the food. I only had one guava cocktail, and it was watered down, so I didn't finish it. The bartender was very pleasant, as well as the bouncer/security. I ordered the pastel and maduros, which were delicious. The music was great as I love merengue, which was generously played. I was there for a short while and left.

A good place to grab dominican food. The Chivo (goat meat) was good. The rice a bit cold. The only reason they don't get a 5 star is because of the service. When I went in there there were a few people already dining in and I was the only one to get an order from. The lady said she will be right with me but took 35 minutes to take my order when most people I saw eating when I came in left.

I've been coming here for over 13 years. I've always heard that the evening is fun for dancing and socializing, but I've always came for the food. If you can make it for the am, definitely try the Dominican breakfast. It's everything you need to survive a hangover & to get you going. I also love trying the daily specials, random appetizers, and drinks. The food is amazing & the closest you can get to Dominican than going to DR.

Food is very good, service was good too, I went for lunch and music was super loud... but , Hey!, is Dominican restaurant where the happy people coming from! See you soon !

Wow wow wow... literally a hidden gem! Old school Dominican restaurant so please don't be fooled by its looks. The food was nothing short of amazing! We ordered rabos with white rice and beans. The meat just came off the bone so easily, we also order a pastel en hoja and it was amazing. We added some refreshing county club drinks to our food. We will definitely be enjoying this place again! The waitress was a doll and very attentive. On certain days the restaurant turns into a little club, what better way to burn off all that delicious food!

I came here last Saturday to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was pretty empty around 10:00 pm. There were only 2 servers for the whole restaurant and it took forever to order food and drinks. Once the server dropped off the menu, it took her about 20-30 minutes to take our order. About another 20 minutes to receive the drinks. We ordered a apple martini, a passion fruit mojito and regular mojito. Saldy, we were all disappointed with the drinks. I'm not gonna lie, these have been the worst DRINKS I've ever had.DO NOT order any cocktail drinks, stick to beers and whiskey. The waitresses are the bartenders hence horrible drinks skills. However, you can't go wrong with Beer bucket for $20. I was craving mondongo and was so excited to eat some. The mondongo was old,dry and had no taste.This has been by far the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in Miami.I will not be coming back to this place ever again.

What a cultural place! I came here on a Sunday night around 11pm and it was jumping. The sampler platter was amazing! I really enjoyed the fried cheese. The waitresses were friendly and quick. The dj kept the evening going with great mixes of bachata and salsa. They have hookah but I didn't try it! The drinks were strong. There was a $10 cover. I'll definitely be returning .

If i can give this place a ZERO i would!! Food was horrible.. I feel bad for the waiters that do provide a good service.

So far one of the best dominican restaurant in South Florida. Cane to this location Sunday morning and glad we did. The food was amazing and the waiter was super nice. I will recommend if you want a real Dominican experience in food.

Amazing mi comida Dominicana, el sabor me transporto a mi bella tierra, deliciosa, les recomiendo este lugar, todavía no lo conozco en persona, siempre ha sido delivery, y muy buena la porción que me envian siempre.

The best spot in Miami to get some amazing, flavorful Dominican food made with love! Be sure to get the pollo guisado on mondays or the bacalao! It's pretty pricey. And you only get one side which is unfortunate but still delicious. Weekends get packed as it does turn into a lounge. Week days are a lot smoother not as packed.

This Spanish Dominican spot in around midtown is both a restaurant & night club. We were looking for some authentic food and they delivered. It was fairly empty late afternoon on a Saturday. There are no windows on the outside and when you walk in you hear the Spanish music going, we were seated quickly and our meals came out quickly. I had the stew beef with a side of Monfongo. My hubby had the chicharron chicken seasoned perfectly with rice, beans and a side of tostones. The meals were very good , everything had flavor. We were too stuffed from the large portions so I doggy bagged some home. The prices reasonable

Sabrina R.

Yelp
The quality and service was just not there, unfortunately. I ordered a Mangu con los tres golpes and it was super greasy, tasted like it was cooked in old oil and overall lacking flavor. It was also a long wait for the food, everything is served in styrofoam which is such a waste. Hoping this place might be able to turn things around seeing as there aren't enough Dominican spots in Miami.

I am dominican, so i in my daily basis i would eat my rice and beans, when i cant get it at home is either here or another place closed to my mom house. The place inside is not pretty, is just regular but they have an outdoor space pretty nice. And most important they always have good food.m and natural juices. Quick and good services and they also have parking, support the local business. Yup!

So on the same day I went to the upscale Dior Café in the Design District and shortly after we pigged out at Club Tipico Dominicano. Very odd, I would never think to eat at Club Tipico but hey it happened and it made my day much better after the huge let down at the Dior place. My friend spontaneously invited me to Club Tipico for lunch, I didn't even know they served food here. Well to my surprise, they do and it is real good. I've always thought of this place as a bit on the ratchet side and I've never stepped foot inside but it happened. It was mostly empty with a few families eating lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of tables available surrounding an empty dance floor. I haven't been there at night but I bet it gets full and I'm sure the turn up is real. There is a bar, DJ area, Vip area, regular tables that can be reserved and an outside sitting area as well as another smaller bar in case you want to smoke outside and get fresh air, that is possible. Food was delicious homestyle tipical Dominican food and portions are big and hearty so you can share with a friend. They have specials of the day and I would like to mention how affordable this place is, love it! Mofongo $5 - Mashed Green Plantain, with fried pork chunks (chicharron), garlic and a beef sauce on the side to pour over. Delicious and so filling, i can eat this by itself as a meal. Pastel en hoja $3.50 - Domincan-style tamale filled with lots of chicken. Served with a pink sauce. Cocido $4.80 - Beef and vegetable soup. This soup will wake up the dead. Yup, it's good and a bowl will fill you. Mondongo Tipico $4.80 - Tripe Soup (cow stomach). Ok so I got adventurous with this one. Takes a bit to like the flavor but it is a good soup. Tripe kind of taste like pig feet. Service was great, food was what we needed and as "ratchet" as this place is, I want to come back at night to dance Merengue and Salsa. The waitress told me there is no cover on Fridays and Saturdays after 8pm and it is 18 and over.

Do not ever order from this place its sad. A place that has good food but service for delivery is horrible and they just want to clean there hands and blame door-dash. I spoke to someone her number is 75427288** she was no help at all and said she can not and wont do anything to help even hung up the phone on me. Right about now I do not care how it looks on my end but best believe i will not order again from here. I do not feel bad by giving this review either. She had the nerves to say figure it out and dispute with your bank i will not give a refund and it is not my fault. Again do not order delivery from Tipico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to come here every Sunday about 5-6 years ago. It was always packed and a blast. The food was good. But service is very slow, you have to wait a long time for what you order and have to get lucky to catch your waitress. Very loud but lots of ambiance. At 11pm the DJ announced all children to get out:) and then the dance floor was popping until late night hours. They play a variety of latin music, also salsa etc. so not only the Dominican stuff. I think I was always about the only white chick in there. My friends were joking that people must think I was an American that married one of them to get papers. If only that was so lol. We had a blast but you have to come on Sundays as their other days were slow. Not sure how it is now but back then it was like that. Good memories!

The food here is excellent, nice vibe,DJ, and great service by Vanessa. They even have tres golpes for breakfast. Must try

Had to try this restaurant out since it is advertised as one of the oldest Dominican restaurants in South Florida. I decided to check it out of Dominican Republic Independence Day; they had a live band and Dj! What an amazing experience. I tried their whole red snapper with coconut sauce and "Aye Dios!" WOW! Great job chef on authentic cuisine perfect for a cold presidente. I was worried about parking at first but we got to the restaurant super early to avoid parking issues, we only paid $8 for parking. I will definitely be back on the next holiday or Independence Day. Dios bendiga

Update: This is one of those restaurants that turns into a party place at night time like every other Dominican restaurant. They offer Cubetazos, Hookahs and of course food. I've been coming here since I was a child, not only for the food but also the good ambiance. When I'm craving good homemade Dominican food but don't feel like cooking, this is my go to place. You can taste the freshness in the food. I've tried more or less about everything. My favorites are the Carne frita, pollo frito and every so often I let myself eat pork and this is where I come get it. The masitas de puerco are my absolute favorite. The beans are legit homemade Dominican beans so I always get rice and beans but the morro is delicious too. Might be one of the only restaurants who makes fresh tostones and maduros (not the frozen ones) which is a plus. And like any Dominican household, your food is served with a side of salad. The lemonade and jugo de chinola (passion fruit) is the best. Whether you want to eat good tipico Dominican food or you want to catch a vibe with some beers and a hookah, this gem in Allapattah is a must try!

I'm feeling a bit under the weather and needed something to help soothe my throat. The number #5 was a must try suggestion from several folks. Spicy beef soup- Sopa De Res. It was very hot with pieces of beef some potatoes and onions. Maybe this wasn't the best selection for me. This was ok I didn't finish it but , I'll be back for something again. The ice cold Corona was a different story!

If I could I would give it NEGATIVE stars. My family and I were very excited to go to this "nightclub" & we paid over $100+ dollars in just getting inside because they charge a $40 entry fee (which we were okay with). Once we go inside a lady in the front asks us if we want a table so I ask how much for a table and she says $400...um no thank you! So we go inside and we go straight to the bar area, so we are moving around because the people at the bar area are standing up and what not. This one server asks us if we have a table and we say no, and she tells us RUDELY that we cannot stand around so I get upset and walk out because then what the heck am I suppose to do? We go up front and tell them our experience and that we want our money back and the lady at the front tells us that they have a no refund policy & that the best she can do is give us a table for $200. No we don't want a table we want better service from y'all & for y'all to understand. We were in there for one minute & were basically kicked out. Smh sh*tty place and the tables looks like crap anyways. PLEASE AVOID

Do you know what it is to get out of work super hungry to look forward to eating at as good as restaurant and they give you this trash to go food man... I'm so disappointed my order was a carne guisada ... this meat has no type of sauce it usually has a lot of sauce when I order it and it's always so good ... this looks like carne con papa's ...they gave me the smallest Cup of frijoles with all these rice.... And I know the salad looks so dry no type of cheese no type of tomatoes and the type of nothing today is a chef didn't feel like cooking and I'm so mad that I payed with cash

Giovanna H.

Yelp
Pastel en hoja for the win here. The quipes are also good. Great service, la music on point. Not a fan of their spaghettis, I was expecting something more Dominican in taste like what my grandma makes to take to the beach back home in DR.

Victor R.

Yelp
While in Miami for Business decided to give a try to Club Tipico Dominicano and it did not disappoint. I had the Carne Guisada with White Rice, Beans and Salad for only $9. The taste, portion and hospitality was outstanding. My wife had the Cocido (Cow Feet Soup) it was bomb. If you are close to downtown, highly recommend this place for dinner.

Katy A.

Yelp
I wish i could put 0 stars this has to be the worst food i have ever tasted honestly dont know how this place is still open when i tell you i literally only took 1 bite of my food and couldn't stomach it ! This place has noooo business trying to represent DR because that food is a disgrace! The place is not bad and the service was decent the atmosphere is nice but the food is so awful that it makes the place horrible . After a long flight and an empty stomach and so excited to eat you can imagine the disappointment!

Ivan C.

Awesome place, had a great time. Excellent music and great service, love my bachatas...

Been coming here for years. Love the food and the ambiance. I always ask for Carmen to take care of us when we go. She's the best. Definitely recommend for some good Dominican food. Buen provecho!

This review is centered around the fact that I came here to dance and have a few cocktails and NOT eat. Be prepared to pay cover charge of $10 plus, even on Sundays, drinks are a bit over priced for their size and flavor, good and attentive service, plenty of seating as well as eating area and a reasonable dancing area. The music is perfect I enjoy listening/dancing to bachata, salsa and merengue and of course you can't leave out some reggaeton you got to add a bit of perreo in the mix , shutout to the DJ, great mixing KC djs could learn a thing or two. Now to my drink as the reason why I'm only giving ja three instead of a four, I ordered a mojito, granted I am in a Dominican venue and perhaps that influenced the lack of flavor but it should not be the cause of bad ingredients, the mint leaves were your many days left over leaves that had gone bad with black edges and less then desirable flavor.

Fabio L.

Yelp
The carne guisada is the absolute best. The beans are amazing. So delicious! Highly recommend them for food. Haven't been here at night yet but can imagine the party is lit. Carmen is the best waitress. Very attentive. I have become a regular for lunch.

Taylor B.

Yelp
My new favorite place!!! Been looking for a good Latin spot in Miami for a while.. yes. believe it or not, not too many good spots for Latin music. Food is amazing and cheap! Drink prices are typical, could be cheaper for the size, and ambiance is very chill. Very family friendly. The service was ok. The women had a bad attitude and I stood at the bar for about 3 minutes before the serves on their phones at the bar noticed me. Area is not the best But the music though!!! Omg a none stop cycle of salsa, bachata, merengue and more! Sundays starting about 5 are the best days. Don't plan to work Monday because you'll be dancing all night!

Lisa C.

Yelp
I LOVE this spot! It has such an authentic island vibe and the music brings everything together perfectly. PLUS all the food is really good and the dishes pack so much food that I can usually get two lunches out of them. I order here at least twice a week and it's consistently good.

Carmen is the best she always takes great care of me and is very attentive and always has a great attitude. Keep up the great work.I come in often since live near by and she always is on point.

Oliver J.

My first time coming here,my co worker and friend stopped here Sundawhen we got off from work. Walked inside and I already was in love with the atmosphere: Best of meringue,salsa and reggaeton plus a lot of sexy women there. Also have a lounge outside in the back with extra parking. Plus the food is the bomb !!!! You will not be disappointed with this place smack dabbed in the middle of Allapattah and you can come here and relax .

Terrible ambiance. This place needs an update: painting, lighting, furniture and decor; menu too.

Stephanie M.

Yelp
The food was mediocre, it wasn't terrible but wasn't good. The service was pretty rude, while serving us she was on the phone laughing. I am vegan and I wanted tostones and salad and asked what was on their Dominican salad and she said lettuce and tomatoes so I ordered it. When the salad came it had cheese on it and I told her I don't eat cheese and she said I didn't tell her, even though I specifically asked what the salad had to avoid that. I asked for the cheese to be replaced by onions and she said they couldn't, which to me is pretty bad customer service when onions are not an expensive ingredient.

Nicole Marie C.

Yelp
This place is like a restaurant during the day and club at night.. it was nice and super cold lol... the food was good but the Chivo didn't taste good at all. Our server kept disappearing! But the breakfast was delicious! I am gonna say tho $20 bucks for mangu, salami, huevo, queso and a passion fruit juice was like a lot... I might come back at night to see how it is..

Katalina K.

This quiet hidden gem is in the middle of Midtown Miami and I love it. I don't live in the neighborhood but it's definitely worth the drive. The food is freshly cooked and the staff is very friendly. Not only is the food tasty but it's also inexpensive. We also had the Stewed Beef with white rice....absolutely delicious! If you want home cooked meal then this place is for you. Awesome place to get authentic Dominican food!

This is a staple in Miami... not the greatest Dominican restaurant, but it's legacy has been around since I was a child. The food here is good, but not great. However, they do sell a tray of fried dishes (fritura) for $50 per tray ... great for parties. The night life is exactly what you'd expect at a Dominican club.

Angie P.

Yelp
We ordered mangu con los tres golpes. We were the only ones there so the service was fast. The music was excellent- 80s and 90s salsa. We found street parking right away. The food was very good! The only thing is that the portion of mangu they served us was unusually very small, especially for the price. The portion of the mangu was like what you would serve to a 5 year old. So I think they may have just ran out of plantains. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our authentic Dominican meal.

I went here a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend and were served with poor service. The food was served really late and cold. Although the food was good, tasted really good. The music and atmosphere was pretty good as well, I had good time here though, just had issues with the service.

Food was amazing, Carmen was excellent, she was super friendly. Thank you very much I'll be back!

I would not go there starving, since service was slow as expected. I went on a Sunday night and it was nice seeing families with kids, and music blaring while people danced the night away in the center. The middle of the "clubaurant" was like a boxing ring but instead of throwing punches , people were throwing their hips in a circle! Expect for no one to pay attention to you if you are the shy type because everyone is too busy having a goodtime to feel awkward, or self-aware. Once the food arrived (crab meat and another order of rice and fish), it was wonderful. I enjoyed the food a lot, so I will be back for sure.

Came here for lunch. Everything was great. Service was excellent and thank you Carmen for your recommendations and hospitality.
