La Hormiga Restaurante

I bought my plate from the stand of foods already pre-made (didn't order from the menu) which is usually cheaper than eating inside the restaurant. I got everything that would normally come on a plate, except I omitted the meat (because I only wanted it vegetarian). I was surprised when she charged me almost $13. So I asked her why it was so much for only what I received, without meat. She then asked someone else working in the back, and then I was told again that it costs close to $13. So I payed it, and left sad, because I know they overcharged me. I even asked her "If I had gotten this same exact meal with meat, how much would this have cost me?" To which she replied, "$13". Therefore this would mean that the meat portion costs like $1 and the rest of my plate was like $12. I told her this makes no sense. They don't seem vegetarian friendly in pricing this more appropriately. I'm glad that I could get this meal, but the price was too much.. I know that when I order food from another Nicaraguan restaurant (nearby here), they always cut me some slack when I ask for a meatless meal. So that's why I was so surprised that you over priced my portion, even after I asked about it before making my payment (you could've given a little grace). The food was good. I just won't desire to return here due to the over charge price payed for only a vegetarian plate. 🤔😥

We went on a Saturday noontime and the service was very slow and poor, not only that the main course took long but we ordered an entrée of fried pork that was served cold and it certainly was old. After informing the waitresses about the problem their answer was that "it is how we eat it" and you have to pay for it because you gave it a bite....All the staff were very rude. And the worst is that they included a $15 service charge to the invoice without asking nor informing..... very BAD PLACE.

Did not enjoy my experience whatsoever. Waitress took 15 minutes to get our drinks then another 20 minutes to take out order. THEN another 45 minutes for our food. I ordered and appetizer as my meal... my husband ordered another small simple dish. No checking in with us, another hour to get the check. Food was sub par, maybe 2 stars but they charge 5 star prices

Food was OK but expensive for what it is. Over $9 for a lemonade or orange juice, $6.50 for Toña beer, $16 for vigoron, which wasn’t great. Place was completely empty when we arrived on a Friday evening, we didn’t mind that at all. But then a single man came in, ordered a bucket of beers and started playing very loud music from his phone, awful music with obscene lyrics, not appropriate for my young daughters to listen to. The staff ignored it all and didn’t say a thing to this man. Probably won’t come back to this place.

There are so many plates to choose from, but Carne Asada (grill or charbroil steak) with Gallo pinto (rice and beans) and plantains is all I need. Well, you should also order some Queso frito (fried cheese). It is one of the closest restaurants for Nicaraguan food or fritanga to North Broward County and not bad at all.

Absolutely love this establishment. Very well seasoned, tasteful food. Super kind staff. Great price for the quantity and quality!!!! I didn't know Nicaraguan food was soooooo awesome!!!!

First time visiting, and I can safely say that food quality was great. I had the churrasco with gallo pinto and maduros. It also came with cabbage salad. Our party was given chips with frijoles y queso, which were also pretty good. The cacao was of pretty good quality. I wish the prices were listed on the menu, but that's about it. The staff was pretty attentive. We went on a Sunday close to 4pm. Will definitely be coming back.

What a delicious food and nice service. Ask for crab soup, shrimp or beef. Don't forget "gallo pinto". Plenty variety of plates and flavors for you to choose from. Service from staff will make you feel like you are a high class customer. Such a great culinary experience!. No doubt: I'm coming back.
