"Long before Brazilian rodizio steakhouses became ubiquitous in Miami, Nicaraguans held down the fort when it came to fancy Latino-style palaces of beef—and none more so than Los Ranchos, which has been a local institution since 1981. The original location on 107th Avenue in Sweetwater (now sadly closed) was not only a place where Miami’s Nicaraguan community could sample a taste of home, but also a community center where refugees displaced by the Sandinista regime discussed their homeland’s politics. Los Ranchos currently has two locations—one in Kendall and another in Coral Gables. The menu includes traditional favorites, like carne asada, as well as more creative dishes, like emerald fish, which is drenched in a creamy spinach sauce." - carlos c olaechea, virginia otazo

This restaurant is great! Right in the heart of Coral Gables in Ponce de Leon avenue. Food here is amazing and at a very affordable price. Lunch special portions are big, well cooked and super tasty. Great seevice as well! Whenever we have an office lunch with a lot of people we always go here, plenty of space to accomodate big groups. Highly recommended

Went on Sunday afternoon. Location offers great atmosphere in the Gables. Upon our entry we were greeted by an excellent hostess that seated us immediately. The staff were very professional and polite. The food was EXCELLENT! My wife and I ordered the Baby Presidential cut it was tender excellent cut! Our server Don Pete and Mildred made excellent recommendations for desserts. We ordered the Pop Quinto For wine, highly recommended Austin Hope excellent price for 1000 ML bottle.

We recently considered Los Ranchos Steakhouse in Coral Gables as a venue to host a business lunch for our company, with about 50 guests. Initially, we planned to dine in during our lunch hour but noticed that they also offer meeting room rentals with food service. Excited by the idea, we visited the restaurant to inquire further. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing. The manager, an older woman, greeted us with a rude and dismissive attitude. It felt as though she had no interest in helping us or even hearing us out. Perhaps it was because we were casually dressed, but her behavior gave the impression that she thought we were beneath her. When we asked about renting the meeting room, her blunt response was simply, "No, We can't give you that amount of time" We thanked her politely despite the cold reception, but as we left, she continued to speak with the front desk staff while staring at us, adding to the uncomfortable atmosphere. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily hostile and unprofessional. What’s most baffling is that this restaurant is often empty, especially on Mondays, which was the day we planned to host our meeting. We genuinely wanted to bring significant business to this establishment, but after this experience, we can see why it struggles with foot traffic. We hope the management reflects on this incident and reconsiders how they treat potential customers. A little respect and professionalism can go a long way in building a positive reputation.

Amazing overall experience. I used to be a regular at Los Ranchos The Falls but now living in the Gables it was too far for me. For my surprise they open this new superb location, the decor is awesome, the service was impeccable, the food as always amazing. Totally recommended!

I recently visited this establishment and, unfortunately, my experience fell far below expectations. 1. Warm Beer: The beer served was excessively warm, making it undrinkable. This was particularly disappointing as I had been looking forward to enjoying a cold beer and instead had to switch to wine, which was not my preference. 2. Gift Card Issues: I encountered multiple issues trying to use a gift card. The process was frustrating and detracted from the overall experience. 3. Lack of Communication: Although I expressed my concerns to our server, the manager was never informed or involved. This made me feel as though my concerns were not taken seriously. Overall, I was very disappointed with the lack of attention to detail and customer service. I hope these concerns can be addressed to ensure a better experience for future patrons.

Experience there is great, good value of food against price. Is a nice decorated restaurant with table service serving Central American food , of course, including rice and beans. Depending on the plate it could be shared for two people but normally portions are enough for one. Service staff is gentle and will assist with food suggestions.

First time back since they reopened. The interior remodel, which was much needed, was great! Food didn't disappoint either. My churrasco came with a little less char than I prefer but flavor of my steak and sides were on point. Our server was excellent and very accommodating to our group who had to split the bill into several checks making the service very nice. Glad to see them back in the Gables. Congrats

Los Ranchos in Coral Gables certainly knows how to create a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's decor is inviting and the service was impeccable. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the food. We were incredibly disappointed with our churrasco. It was bland, tough, and served rare when we ordered it medium. The accompanying Nicaraguan gallo pinto was equally underwhelming, lacking flavor and served lukewarm. It's a shame, as the potential for a great meal was clearly there. While the staff was attentive and friendly, the kitchen is in desperate need of a new chef. With such a promising setting and service, it's baffling how the food could be so lackluster.

Excited to have this classic in Coral Gables now! Though it hasn't been open long, you can't tell based on how great the service and overall experience are. The food is delicious as always - there's nothing more comforting than their baby churrasco with gallo pinto and maduros. The location is nice for a business lunch but also has a nice familial ambiance. Will definitely be a regular at this location.

Today Saturday 3:30 pm went back to Los Ranchos. We were greeted by the manager and seated immediately in the side section tables I believe are # 60 and 70. I was busy in conversation and did not hear our servers name when she greeted us I believe she said Yvonne. Her service was excellent and food was excellent. Once again we ordered the Austin Hope. However, this time I had to advise the manager that the wine temperature was above normal it was warm. The manager was kind enough to bring an ice bucket. Once the wine temperature dropped it was more pleasantly tasting. I noticed where the wine bottles are stored is more like an enclosed cabinet with lights that creates heat and the cabinet is not temperature controlled. We also go to Los Ranchos in the Falls. The wine there is stored in a temperature control store much better tasting there due to the wine served at an excellent temperature.

Food was excellent, Service was fabulous and Ambiance was lovely We had a separate area which gave us lots of privacy for our birthday party

This is my family's second time visiting this Los Ranchos location, and it was great once again! The service was amazing! The manager, owner, and our servers were super nice and attentive. The food came out fast, even though we were a party of six in total. For an appetizer, we got two orders of the Tostones Nicas, which were very tasty and cheesy. Also, the house salads that come with the entrees are soo good (they bring a pile of cheese!). Everyone ordered a Surf & Turf beside me; I got the Salmon Churrasco. They loved their steak; it was a good portion, and cooked to perfection. They also enjoyed the shrimp that came with it. And as for my salmon, it was very good, cooked perfectly, and very fresh. On top of that, even though the air conditioner was unfortunately broken, the experience was still great! The owner even went out of his way to apologize to us and give us a discount for the next time we come :) Overall an amazing experience and great service!

I was looking forward to enjoying dinner here with my parents. The restaurant's decor is great and the service was too but the food was quite disappointing. As an appetizer, we decided to share the queso fundido with chorizo. This was the most underwhelming queso fundido we've ever had. Apparently, they slid the ceramic dish under the broiler to brown the cheese on top but didn't fully melt the cheese. You could still see the unmelted strands of shredded cheese. No cheese pulls happening here and it was served with bread. No tortillas for queso fundido?! We ordered 3 signature churrascos which came with a house salad. The house salads came with a slice of tomato, raw onion, and lettuce. One salad was needing more salad dressing requiring us to order additional vinaigrette dressing. Then our steaks came out: two Baby Churrasco's medium well that were dry and unseasoned and one Churrasco Los Ranchos medium rare that was juicy but unseasoned. They came with gallo pinto and crispy and sweet plantains. The steaks were so dry that the chimichurri sauce was essential to enjoying them. The gallo pinto was also dry and flavorless. The most enjoyable part were the sweet plantains. After these terrible dishes, we did not want to risk ordering dessert so we skipped it.

This Los Ranchos location just recently "soft opened" within the past few days and according to the staff, they'll be having a grand opening sometime next month. I'm also told this restaurant is actually returning to this location just off the large Ponce de Leon roundabout in Coral Gables, as they used to be located in this same building years ago. After closing their location at Bayside Marketplace during the pandemic and their restaurant in Hialeah more recently, Los Ranchos now has 2 remaining restaurants - This new one in the Gables, and the other at The Falls. First impressions of this Coral Gables location are really good. I'd been to their Bayside location many times for both lunch and dinner (and have missed it since it closed) and we'd also gone to their restaurant at The Falls and in my opinion this new eatery beats both those others. It's nicely decorated and a bit fancier, yet not overdone. One can sit at the bar, at a number of tables with chairs or couch seating, or at outdoor tables on the patio in front. Two areas of the main dining space can be sectioned off for larger private events if necessary and they have 1/2 dozen TVs scattered throughout the place. Best of all, the food is exactly as I remembered - flavorful, plentiful yet also affordable. I had the baby churrasco which was an 8 ounce center cut grilled tenderloin, served with a salad, garlic bread, gallo pinto, sweet plantains and plantain chips; A really filling meal for $26. Los Ranchos has a lot of competition in Coral Gables for steak. Just from memory I can think of 1/2 dozen other steak places on or near Miracle Mile, yet I think this restaurant will do well considering both their name recognition and menu prices that few other steakhouses in this area can match - especially considering the quality and everything your meal here comes with (vs some other restaurants where salad and sides aren't included with the steak and need to be ordered separately for an additional price). I wish this newest Los Ranchos well; We'll definitely be back!

We love this place. We go here often. Food and service are amazing! Our favorite is the Surf and Turf. The kids menu is also great!

Went to have dinner there today around 4 pm and really wasn't to many people there maybe a couple and that's it, , lady brought me water and then i had to walk out as no one came to take my order after about 15 to 20 min, i usually go there as i work near by, but never again.

Not bad!. Food was great! The tres leche was to die for. What I didn't like is that after all the plate were finished there was always someone coming to clear the tables. Constantly coming to the table to ask if you need anything. It almost seem as they are trying to rush you out, to eat quick and get out and I was not a fan.

The restaurant is supposed to serve a "Nicaraguan" menu but I don't recall "French Onion Soup" being part of our cuisine. The white rice had a microwaved taste, the spinach sauce for the emerald fish was not good or tasty at all. Ordered a churrasco and was given to us rare even though we asked medium well. The ambience could have been better as we were seated next to a large group of people and was difficult to have a conversation within our table. Save your money and appetite for a better restaurant!

I have been going to Los Ranchos since it originally opened in the early 80's and they were always consistent with the quality and special flavor of their steaks. Today I tried this new location and I can honestly say that it should not bear the same name , we ordered 3 Presidente Churrascos ($55.00 ea) and not only were they overcooked they were not as tender and didn't have the same flavor. The Gallo Pinto was also flavorless and cold. The only thing that was ok was the queso fundido even though the flour tortillas were hard and obviously reheated. The place is very nice looking inside but the service is terrible and our waiter was pretty clueless about everything. Even though we expressed our disappointment to the waiter the manager didn't even bother to visit the table to ask us about our experience. This place is a NTR ( never to return ) restaurant.

The Coral Gables Los Ranchos location is a fantastic addition to our neighborhood. I have always enjoyed the food at Los Ranchos' various locations, from tenderloin churrascos and flavorful gallo pinto to properly textured, moist tres leches and the best chimichurri I've ever had. (When I moved away from Miami for a few years, I used to buy the chimichurri in bulk and freeze it). The Coral Gables location elevates the traditional Los Ranchos experience in several ways: 1. The restaurant boasts a modern design, using materials like backlit stone and bricks to create a sophisticated yet comfortable ambiance. 2. The service is excellent. My glass was refilled before it was ever empty, and any requests were promptly addressed. We had a wonderful conversation with Lisa, the operations supervisor and GM, who made us feel truly welcome. 3. The team pays attention to small details. Salad plates are chilled, condiments are served in attractive metal bowls instead of plastic containers, and bread refills are proactively offered. While I always go for the churrasco, I've sampled other items thanks to my dining companions, including the queso fundido and fajitas, all of which were excellent. Don't hesitate to visit this Los Ranchos location - it stands out in a neighborhood already known for great dining options!

Excellent tasting traditional varied Nicaraguan food, service & ambiance in a brand new building. The sangria is one of top 3 in area, meats are grilled we had the chicken churrasco it was slightly salty, desserts 3 leches is sweet & recommended. Parking is adequate. All entrees are served with salad, gallo pinto rice, fried green plantain (mariquitas) & sweet banana (maduros) you can also ask for seconds no charge.

Tried this new Los Ranchos location for dinner on a Friday. We were seated right away by the bar, and our server Zuleyma was very attentive, her customer service is excellent! Our order didn't take long, the food was tasty and the meat cooked as requested. The manager was also attentive, she came over twice and checked how the service was going. The restaurant decor is modern and it has an a nice ambiance, they had a DJ playing Spanish music and it wasn't loud so it allowed for comfortable conversation. They also offer outside seating and valet parking is available.Will be returning to this location.

We live in the Gables and have given this spot several tries but the service and food is subpar. We drive a bit out of the way to El Novillo on Bird Rd for the better food and service!!

Overpriced and not authentic Nica food, how do you have a Nicaraguan cuisine and not have any Cacao or typical drinks? Location is more interested and focused on selling you their extensive wine collection. The food in both selection and flavor has taken a back seat. If you are looking for cocktails and wine, this is the place for you.

Last week we had a graduation dinner party of 30 people in their semi private room. We had an excellent experience. Neri was attentive with the reservation and details. The room was ready when we arrived and the service staff professional and accommodating. The food is always delicious and portions are generous. Package included a variety of entrees as well as drinks and dessert. This Gables location has a modern design and elegant vibe. Highly recommend.

Great new location for a Miami classic. The food was great as all their locations with a very nice bar area. Our service was very efficient and professional.

Glad Los Ranchos reopened near us in Coral Gables. To be completely honest, it's not the best Nicaragüense food but it's good, nice ambiance and close by. Our server was a bit dry. If in the mood for Nicaragüense food and don't feel like driving far, we will return. I'm being slightly generous with a 4 star but 1/2 is not an option. 3 1/2 stars would be more accurate. Hopefully they will earn the other half or better yet complete star the next time we go. Stay tuned.

One star because I am comparing to Los ranchos at The Falls. The food was not good and cold I asked for medium rare and got well done churrasco and tasteless. The rice tasted like box rice specifically the white rice. The drinks we had to send them back. The location is great the restaurant is beautiful and well decorated but sadly I don't recommend it

I have been going to every Los Ranchos in town since the 80s, the best service ever, I have been to many fine restaurants in my life and I can tell you I have never seen the service that Los Ranchos provides to every customer in any other restaurant. The food is great, I am so happy they have re-opened this restaurant in the Gables again. I remember going to the Los Ranchos in Bayside for every celebration we had in our family, I also would go during the weekdays with my best friend and my sister for lunch, loved the music with Mr. Mata singing and playing the guitar. I remember several waiters like Anibal, Rafael, Marco, Miguel, and Alex at the bar, and Abraham who I found out passed away. I am meeting my best friend Sonia at Los Ranchos in two weeks to reminisce and have a good time. I am sure I will not be disappointed.
