El Patio 305 Restaurant

Inside dining closes sooner than the outside. Drinks have no free refills. The burgers though are second to none!

Georgina was absolutely wonderful! So sweet, attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our meal. Her service was seamless, and her kind energy made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Georgina!

very good service, our server Georgina was great. very clean and good ambiance.

Amazing service! Alexa is super nice and attentive. The burgers are delicious and nice portions. I tried the Mint Lemonade and it's very refreshing. I recommend 👌

Great ajiaco! Hot soup for when you’re feeling under the weather. Generous portion too. The waitress liye was very nice

I love this place!! I always come here for lunch after work!! I always get the same thing tbh…bandeja paisa jaja! I love the music and whenever there’s a soccer game they put it on the screen which is great! They have great lemonade as well! All the staff are great people & caring! Pablo was my server and he was very attentive and caring as well!! There are also plenty of other delicious food and desserts on the meñu too that I will definitely try my next visit !

Food was absolutely savory & delicious! I had the Bistec a la Colombiana & the Bandeja Paisa 305. Leydi was our server, she’s so nice and attentive. Would definitely come back again.

Tasty Colombian food and wonderful service from Liye the Agua Ardiente was my favorite part.

When I am at work and I am craving some good Colombian food this is my go to! I have never eaten at the restaurant, only ordered to go & whether a hearty sancocho or my personal favorite Típica el Patio 305- never disappoints. The plates are decent sized & priced. This last order I got Tipica el Patio 305 which is like the bandeja paisa but with more things such as tostones, morsilla, & chorizo. If you want some yummy Colombian food, I highly recommend.

We were looking for a burger place and google sent us to Burger Fusion 305 which ended up being el Patio 305. Looks like this is 2 restaurants in one because there are separate menus and the server even had two different devices to take the orders on. We were the only ones there, and the services was pretty quick although the food took a while to come out and came out at different times. We ended up ordering from the El Patio 305 menu which is Colombian food. My boyfriend had a Bandeja Paisa with churrasco El Patio 305 style which came giant tostones, papa asad, half an arepa, chorizo, and morcilla (which you can switch for a second serving of chorizo, and he was not impressed. He did have a lemonade that he said was really good. I had a bandeja paisa with chicken, and have to agree the meal was underwhelming. The chicken was pretty salty, so I cut a piece of maduro to eat with each bite and that helped. The pork rinds were hard as a rock. The one thing we both agreed was good were the red beans, they were thick and had a great flavor. All in all, we went for the burgers ended up having Colombian food, it was ok but not likely that we will be back.

Eminently respectable Colombian food. I ate well. * * * The rest of my party ordered various forms of steak or grilled meat plates. Steaks are the small thin marinated ones common to South American cooking. Most plates featured very good versions of chicarrones. My family was all pleased. * * * I went with a choripan which is a Colombian hot dog. Or more precisely a Colombian sausage in a hot dog bun with potato sticks on top plus melted cheese plus two different kinds of sauce. That was one fine fine fine fine hot dog. * * * Although it does not say so on the menu. Any hot dog like dish here will come with enough French fries to feed a second grade classroom. You will NOT go hungry. Me not knowing about the French fries ordered maduros and a salad. The waitress brought me their Caesar salad which is a family plate big enough to feed TWO second grade classrooms. (The amount of salad is about the same as the amount of French fries, but second graders eat more French fries than they do salad.) I had about six weeks of food there. For a minute, I thought I was in Havana Harry's. The side dishes were all pleasant enough but basic for what they were. With one exception. Caesar salads in Colombia have flat squares of a salty slightly bitter cheese and an alternative version of a Thousand Island dressing. The alt dressing and the alt cheese go together just fine. This is one good salad well worth having again. * * * The Choripan is a total destination dish. The side accompaniments are completely pleasant for what they are. I would eat here again happily. Note that just one dish will hold you even if they call it an antojo. White boxes exist for those who succumb to temptation.

This is a solid family restaurant! So much so that I went twice this weekend! Tucked into a corner of Coral Way and just off 22nd Avenue, I stopped in Saturday while on my morning jog. Around that time, I was one of maybe three other customers and stopped to watch the world cup. I sat down, almost in line with their very large screen TV and watched France beat Belgium while enjoying their timely water refills (I was working out), sweet fried plantains and a generously larged, well done pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken breast). Of course, I also enjoyed an espresso. Fast forward to taking mima to lunch Sunday. When I was there Saturday, I saw mostly families and mom prefers typical Latin comfort food dishes. Today, I did indulge! We were attended by the same friendly staff and got a nice corner table also with view of the TV. World Cup matches had finished, and they were nice enough to change the channel so that I could watch the NFL games (Go Dolphins!!) My Sunday supper was their Churrasco. A very large piece of smoky flavored meat that covered a lot of plate real estate (and had to take half as takeout), complemented with three large crispy tostones and their red bean soup (frijoles Colorado) all indulged my palate as the Dolphins win indulged my sports fandom. The egg on the steak ("a caballó") was nice and runny for extra flavor and protein. Why would I leave steak? Well their yuca fries were nice and crispy; put together with Papa Colombiana (a baked potato with a melted cheese sauce) was too good to skip. Besides, I had to leave some space for their creamy tree leche dessert (and another Cortadito).

Good food , rica comida , buen servicio. La bandeja paisa es mi favorita., recommendable

Un lugar con mucho potencial, ambiente familiar agradable. Pero muy mala administración, había una sola mesera para atender varias mesas, cobrar, atender la ventanilla y los pedidos online, la falta de personal es obvia, el servicio muy soso. La comida estaba bien, buena porción de comida. pero no es lo mejor que hay comido (hablando de comida colombiana en USA)

Wow a great find on Coral Way! Lunch is great and not expensive. The ambiance is quiet and unassuming but the food is great! We had the sobrebarriga with papa chorriada ( see pic) which was great the empanadas were as well the beer was cold and the fruit juices were fresh. I recommend El Patio 305.

I wanted some good Colombian food . I stumbled on El Patio 305. They are located conveniently off of US1 . Not too far from Coral Gables. We got there around 2 pm , you can sit anywhere . We were immediately attended too . Our food came out nice and hot . The food was delicious. I had the Chicken Milanese and we also order Bandeja Paisa. Which you can honestly never go wrong with either choices . I also ordered an extra side of tostones , which were so well cooked and crispy . The also had live music which honestly was so refreshing to hear . It really sets the mood for a relaxing moment with great food . The two ladies that played were amazing . I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone . If you are looking for authentic Colombian food with a relaxing mood then this is the place for you. I will definitely come back again.

Always great service and delicious Colombian food We love the sancocho de Res, they also offer lunch specials.

The only issue I have is a deal breaker for me regarding service. The food is excellent, but at lunch today I went in to pick up my to-go order with one person who had also done the same. There are 3 people seated at one table in the restaurant to eat. Before I got there I had a friend that wanted to go and order a meal here for the first time. When we arrived I was limited on time and wanted to begin eating my order and let my friend take his order to go. The three of us sat down at an open table and started to open our boxes (1 table out of 20 plus available tables) we were told we are not allowed to do that due to restaurant policy. The three of us went to sit outside and wait for our friend's order (two of us began to eat) and we were told we cannot eat outside because it's reserved for night. Again it's a Saturday at 12:15PM and there are 5 people at this restaurant including the two people with me. I do not understand why a policy exists for the restaurant that the manager chose to enforce which leads to a bad customer experience.

Very good and very reliable. Service is attentive. Food is a bit uneven with some dishes outstanding and others average. Still it represents good value for money and a comfortable, satisfying dining experience.

Excellent food and service. We had the ajiaco and the picana burger. Will definitely come back!!

We love el Patio 305 it used to be Monserrate before and it was such as good. Whenever we feel like having colombian food this is our place to order from. This time around we had mojarra frita with rice and beans, ajiaco which comes with white rice and an empanada colombiana same as the pescado frito, we also ordered una arepa com queso, two lulo juice and a guanabana one. Everyday was great the mojarra frita was huge and delicious , their ajiaco is always on point , its my husband favorite colombian dish and their empanadas are the besttt ... As per the juices i dont know what happened but they were as tasty as before but well it can happen. Love this place and well keep ordering to support the small business. As per the pictures i guess i was in a hurry to eat and took them very fast and well they did not come out as planned.

Please do not order form this place, management expects customers to magically know what each dish includes, ordered over uber eats and does not specified that sauces and cheese are toppings that they actually put on top prior to shipping your food. I am lactose intolerant. Called the restaurant and the manager said that I have to ask for a refund over the app. To complete the really poor customer service, he told me "there is no one's fault" I am sorry but lactose intolerance is more common than other allergies and as a restaurant you should disclose what kind of toppings you put on the food specially for deliveries. The manager is really rude.

We had the bandeja paisa con picaña. It was so good I forgot to take the before pic. The meat was tender, the chicharrones were good. We enjoyed the ambiance as well. We will be back.

I was there with my girlfriend because they have really good and authentic Colombian food, the service was excellent and the food was even better. In my picture I had an ajiaco santafereño and my girlfriend had a salmon with tostones and my mother in law had an amazing bandeja paisa con carne asada. The portion was perfect, not too big not too small, I would definitely keep coming to this place because is very good. On top of that it has free parking!!!

Travelled from Texas and decided to stop by this spot and give it a try. Everything was delicious! They did not disappoint. It was reasonably priced too. Highly recommend it!

The restaurant is centrally located. The beef soup was a little watery and the arepas were fresh.Excellent customer service. Bon appetite!

I've been here so many times since I was introduced earlier this year. It's good food at a good price, and you can usually be seated quickly. Make sure to try a classic Colombian drink called Refajo (half colombian beer mixed with half colombian soda). There is happy hour until 7pm, so make sure to take advantage of it :) For food, the following are very good: Beef Empanadas - have them with lime and the green sauce on the table Chicharron Picado Salchipapas Bandeja Paisa Calentado Snapper Huevos fritos, arroz, y maduros (my personal favorite!) My only complaint is that they rarely ever have avocado. Don't get your hopes up for it. :(

From the moment I arrived the food smell had me at hello! I ordered the El Patio305 Churrasco with a side of rice and beans and an arepa with cheese - incredibly good. The churrasco was tender and juicy, absolutely enjoyed every bite of my meal ! Definitely recommend ! I missed taking a picture of my plate; but I took a pic of my grandma's plate Pargo Frito - fantastic taste and good portion.

Amazing food. I loved it all. I tried the ajiaco and wow .... I was amazed by the delicious flavor and seasoning it had. Not too salty, just right. La sopa de carne was delicious as well and it honestly was my FAVORITE dish of all the ones I had. I also had their calentado that was great. The taste, the combination of the chicharron, beans and rice was very good and I've had calentado, but not like that before. It was good, not too overpacked and not soggy like in other restaurants. The sweet plantains were soft and at a delicious point. If you are coming here, try out the Ajiaco that blew me away. Also, try to look around the decor is very nice and if you are coming in large groups, no need to worry there is plenty of space!

I love it it was good food everything a good way experience at all I love Colombian restaurant everywhere at the United states

This place has a great potential, it has a good location, BUT needs valet parking since parking on Coralway is very limited. We got there and they had live music (which needed life itself) no hostess even though there's a sign that says wait to be seated. The employees were paying more attention to the soccer game to what was going on in the restaurant including the chef. We sat in a table, asked for tequeños for appetizer which we never got (again the chef was watching the game). We ordered a grilled chicken with rice and plantains and a fried fish with salad and fries... the chicken breast had a good size, the amount of rice even for me that I don't eat rice was little... the fish had no flavor and was dry.... Everything is served on cardboard plates, at least the silverware was not plastic... we got 2 beers that could've been colder, I had an espresso which was not dark but at least it had foam... With all this great description, they charge 18% gratuity! $75 later, I will no go back If you want Colombian food... this is not your place

They serve great authentic colombian food. My go to is the bandeja paisa. I typically order for pick up and they're very fast!

The best way to get the best service and the best food at this place is to walk in and drop a "Pues que?" or scream "Hola como estas". The waiting staff is definitely English language impaired, but if you say something in Spanish, they may want to take you under their wing in this Paisa adventure. If, on the other hand, you speak Spanish, or are smart enough to have someone who speaks Spanish with you, things turn out for the better. These people are the friendliest ones on earth. They will call you "hermano", and they will joke with you. They may also forget about you, but once you regain their attention, they will make you laugh some more. To anyone who has experienced the window of any Cuban cafeteria where people talk politics, sports, art, and smuggling someone illegally in the country, this is it. This location is one of many other Monserrate restaurants, and when it comes to the food, it is all the same. Exactly the same. The difference is in the location and the architecture. This particular one is lounge like, with a modern feel, Scandinavian styled walls covered in light colored wood, and a dark granite countertop bar. There are several TV screens showing sports most of the time. On the food side of things, well, it is on the decent side of things. The bandeja paisa is good, although the beans and the steak are just OK. The sancocho is good also, but memorable flavors are not all there. The empanada is good, the arepa is good, all the other dishes are good, but I feel that Monserrate kind of walks away from the simplicity and commonality of Paisa cuisine, and dilutes the flavors in an attempt to make things more mainstream. A few locations later, I think it's working for them. Bravo. The reason why I come here, and the reason for the four stars, is a dish called "Ajiaco Santaferreño", which is a potato based soup, with chicken, capers and heavy cream. It is served with a side of rice. That is one of the few dishes that gets me high and momentarily makes me trust strangers. It is specially delicious if you add the green hot sauce nestled in one of two pottery containers at every table. Before I finish, this place has another plus. It is kid friendly. Very kid friendly. Not only are kids happy with their meal, but they get the attention of waiters, whom magically communicate with the young ones. Also, if you like soccer, this spot most likely is showing a live game from some league around the world in one of the many TV screens. All in all, it comes down to getting Colombian culture and appreciating it. If you leave and you are not singing "Subete a la piragua" or "Oiga, mire, vea", well, you just didn't get it.

At first and second was worth the money, not anymore. Portions very small and flavor average.

The food and service is always good. We have been several times for lunch and find it to be a good neighborhood restaurant. However it's a pity in this day and age they serve drinks in styrofoam cups, food in disposable plates and plastic utensils. What's the point in using a paper liner over a paper plate? Beyond the carbon footprint it is really cumbersome to eat rice and beans off a wet wrinkled paper. Don't believe it's for Covid reasons because they are still using real plates and glasses sometimes. The place could be a gem if they became more eco friendly and improved the ambience a bit.

El Ajiaco está buenísimo!!! Laidi nos atendió muy bien y es súper chevere!!! Las porciones son abundantes

The food is below average and the restaurant itself not pleasing to the senses in the most basic sense. When we arrived we had to ask for for the floor and banquette seating to be cleaned. Then the food order arrived at different times and one of the orders was incorrect so we had to wait again. The dish I ordered was the mondongo soup, a traditional Colombian dish. It was the worst I ever had. It tasted stale and the mondongo was over cooked. My husband offered to switch meals but it was no better. The server was pleasant but did not get the order right and though I made my daughter try it anyway because we don't like to throw away food she still wouldn't eat it. I guess that's why I'm writing a review...so you don't end up throwing away your food.

I've been going here for over 15 years when it was still owned by it's original owners. The service has always been professional. The foos is always consistent in taste, quality and presentation. The recipes are home-like and typical to Colombia. Ana, our waitress for today, has always given me the best and most respectful service.

Ordered sancocho for takeout this weekend and it was amazing! Very generous size and so flavorful. Also saw they have a great happy hour every day will definitely be back soon.

More like a 2.5 star, the Empanadas were good but my Bandeja Paisa con Carne Asada wasn't as good as their Doral location. Flavor was a bit lacking. Fortunately the prices here aren't too bad, considering how nice the place looks, but looks just don't do it for me. I'd go back to try again, since this location is the only one sort of close to me, but if it's still meh, you bet I'll yelp all about it.

The food is average and the delivery is horrible. I always have to wait over 1 hour to get the food even though I am less than 15 minutes away from the restaurant. I only order from this place when I can go to pick up the food, but today I order a delivery because it was raining and it took 1 hour and 15 minutes for the delivery to arrive. Once my food arrived, the soup was spilled all over the bag. I called to complain no one answered. They have horrible customer service.

I have been coming here for awhile, it use to be good but now it has gotten horrible ! Last time I came the beans tasted all slimy for some reason yuck. The empanadas were cold. The eggs where slimy and not cooked well.The place was empty but they took like super long just to bring us the appetizer, I don't know what has been happening with them lately but they have just been a big fail for me. The only upside, that maybe they will go back to being as good as they once where . If you are in the mood for Colombian food I recommend mondongos they are great!!

Fantastic Colombian food, hits right at home, and the staff is ready to accommodate. Traditional cuisine straight from South America.

Food was ok, not bad but also not great. We got the bandeja paisa con picanha and it came with a tiny piece of picanha. Not worth the price if you as me. Also, service was not good. Not rude but not attentive at all like the waiter just didn't want to be there at all. I would've given it at least 3 stars but they impose an 18% tip por groups of 2 to 4 and 20% for groups of 6 or more. I guess this explained why the servers attitude was like that, they get a tip regardless of what kind of service they give you. I wouldn't come back.

The waitress was very friendly and explained all of our options, I ordered a cheese empanada as an appetizer which was really crunchy, cheesy and fresh, breakfast was very filling some good beans , plantains, arepa , scrambled eggs, the beef was bit bland but everything else was decent, coffee was good.

This is a great place, the food is delicious many varieties but the flavors are spot on . You must try the mango biche frozen drink is amazing!!!! Deserts are soooo good so are the natural juices on milk or water . The atmosphere is great , totally family friendly, kids menu is descent and service is great.

Exactly what I was craving , some good Cuban cuisine. This is a delayed review. I didn't take any photos because my phone was dead while I was there but you can trust me when I say just trust me on how good it is. My friend and I ended up in Miami yesterday and wanted some good grub. We drove up and down Coral way around coral gables and bayside looking for something that caught our eyes. What drew us in was the English writing on the boards and the welcoming entry way. The English was important because in Miami especially this area English honestly is a second language and at times it's hard to be serviced. We were immediately seated by our friendly waiter and waters to start. First off, I don't know exactly what we got. I don't know the name, nor did I pronounce it. I did one of those point at the menu things. For appetizers we had this friend plantain with shredded and ground beef (we did 2 shredded and 2 ground) with mozzarella cheese and a white sauce. Omgggg soooo good!!!! The beef had so much flavor, and the plantains so crispy. They have these fresh made sauces at the tables too. A red and a green. It went perfect with them. I also got a beef empanada which turned into 2. I had to ask for a second, couldn't stop at one. For the main meal, a hamburgesa de carne CUBAN style. Of course the traditional ltop along with a friend egg, pink sauce, potato strings, and pineapple jelly for a sweet and savory combo of amazing ness . The only thing I did not like and which is the reason this got 4 stars is how they cooked the burger. I asked for medium rare ( I figured it would be a little over cooked which is why I didn't ask for my regular medium) and it came out well well well done. I'm surprised the patty still had so much flavor. All in all, it was delicious. I loved the red sauce so much I asked to see if they sold it. He sent me on my way with a large container on the house. If you're in the area, I would definitely suggest stopping by here.

Terrible food!! Ordered the Calentado The rice was bad The arepa was paper thin The steak was rubber and cold The Monserrate in Doral is def worth 5 stars! Maybe because the old guy is there harassing the staff but he needs to pay a visit to the coral way location.

Just had a good lunch, Wiltmar served us and was very friendly and accommodating. Chicharrones were amazing !!!

Good food for the most part. we had Empanadas to start, those are pretty good, I added the red sauce for a little kick and of course some limon. The juices are nice, I got the Mora. We got sancocho con arroz for our main meal. It was really tasty, the rice could have been just a bit more moist. Do not order cafe Cubano here....I know it's a Columbian place, but it's on the menu...and it's watered down and just don't order it. Service.... they are attentive but seems like it's such an effort and task for them to smile. (small details...but make a big difference). Overall it's a pretty good restaurant with pretty good food. Good prices and great portion sizes.

Great Colombian spot, disclaimer: I am not Colombian. With that being said. The food is awesome. The portions are large. You are sure to leave on a full belly. The live music was a nice touch. Certainly a place I'll visit again.

This place is right by my work so I come here to grab takeout for lunch from time to time. I've learned to order ahead because if you don't, it'll take about 30/40 minutes for the food to be ready. Quality of food is always good, flavors are on point, plates are well-made overall. However the portions are smaller than other Colombian spots I've been to. Overall not a bad place, but I'd never go out of my way to come here. You can definitely find a much more quality meal at a better price point all along Coral Way.

For my first time coming to this restaurant I do not recommend it. The food was OK and they basically rush you to pay once it's 9 because they need to "close their box on time" definitely not coming again. I ordered a mini picada and it barely had any sausage, was over filled with chicharrón. Didn't enjoy at all.

Leydis Was polite and the food was delicious. Great customer service. We will definitely go back

I ate from this place thinking it would be rich in flavor like Colombian food typically is. First thing that disappointed me was the fact that Two of the dishes I ordered were not available. Thankfully the third one was. When I got the food, it was ok. Nothing wow. Their white rice lacks flavor and it's hard. Their pork was ok. I give them a 3 out of five. Will not go back.

Food is great, not AMAZING but very good. The yelp deal for checking in is worth grabbing too. So I love the bandeja paisa. Typically it should include a variety of meats and plantains, rice, egg, and avocado. I've had it in 2 places in Miami, and this was the better of the two. Though not as good as in Medellin. They have lots of good dishes, though miss a few that are only served certain days like ajiaco soup. On evenings when the neighboring church is closed you are also allowed to park for free in their lot. So save your meter money!

Ajiaco has a way of soothing the soul. This Colombian restaurant full with a varied menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner is a great way to satisfy your latín food craving without breaking the bank. The arepas are delicious and made with gooey yummy cheese nestled in between two corn masas griddled into hot and delicious yumminess ready for immediate consumption. The best known Colombian beer is Águila which is a light and easy to drink lager which is smooth a land refreshing and best served COLD. Speaking Spanish definitely helps but is not required of you to make your order. The eggs are flaky and perfectly cooked which is the best way to start your day. It's extremely inexpensive so you can come here with the whole family. I love their fresh juices and shakes which come served either with a milk or ice base. We have a huge Colombian population here in Miami and this restaurant is a perfect example of how delicious their food is.
