Fritanga Monimbo Kendall

I hadn’t been here in years, and unfortunately, the service didn’t impress. The staff didn’t seem very customer-oriented. I specifically asked to confirm I had sauce, was told yes—but got home and found none. While my food was being served, I watched the server deliberately avoid the larger pieces of meat, choosing the smallest ones instead. I’ll admit, the food was good—but for me, great service is just as important.

The food here is actually great, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the customer service completely ruins it. The employees seemed annoyed whenever we asked a simple question, and their attitude felt rude and unwelcoming. The worst part was at checkout—when my friend and I asked to split the check, the cashier looked visibly bothered and treated us like we were being an inconvenience. Splitting checks is a pretty normal request, and the attitude was unnecessary. Good food isn’t enough to make up for poor service. Until the staff learns how to treat customers with basic courtesy, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I had steak encebollado con gallo pinto y maduro the steak had this strong flavor like if it was liver Hidalgo I don't if it was the oil but tasted with a strong flavor.

This place is such a gem. I know it's been here forever but it keeps it great ALL the time. The food is always extremely well made, just made, and freaking delicious scrumptious. Thanks for being such outstanding professionals and feeding the community delicious healthy food. 💯 Recommended

Food was tasty and they give you large portions. Serving staff was polite and provided fast service. We had the Carne asada and nacatamal. I would return.

The food is great. However without exception, everytime i order the taquitos for delivery, it is soaked in coleslaw and disgusting. This happened 3 times in a row and im just not likely to repeat the mistake

I’ve been coming here for special meals for over 25 years! This place is a classic Miami institution. My favorite has always been the carne asada, rice and beans, ripe fried plantains and of course, the side of fried Nicaraguan white cheese. The decor is very “Latin America”—from the “telenovela” playing on the TV, so the old looking furnishing and decor (same as long as I can remember). But then again, people don’t come here for modern fancy decor—they come for food and ambiance that reminds them of Nicaragua (...or because the food is just darn good!). Portions are huge — I eat at least 2 meals out of one serving. For a couple bucks more, I get an extra strip of steak. They also stock Latin American sodas like Inca Cola and Jupiña. Parking can be crowded sometimes, so I like to drive in from Sunset Drive and park across from the bank ATM behind the restaurant. Expect lines if you arrive during dinner time 5-6pm. Totally worth it!!

Delicious Nicaraguan food . If you’re in Miami , they have different locations in the Kendall area . Food is always fresh and served right in front of you .
