Mi Fondita Colombian Restaurant

"Do people in Miami work? We ask ourselves this when we walk into Mi Fondita, which is always packed at 2pm on any random weekday. But this casual spot is so much more comforting than your average nine-to-five. Servers kindly guide you through their extensive menu. Sauces come in cafecito cups and the staff smiles at you with the same genuinity of a golden retriever. For a quick and filling meal, get the arepa rellena mi fondita. It's generously stuffed with steak, chicken, chicharron, and comes with a hefty side of fries for only about $13. All of the empanadas are good, but definitely order the beef ones—their filling is like an unexpected good morning text from a loved one. " - mariana trabanino

"The Meal: Arepa Rellena Mi Fondita, $13 Do people in Miami work? We ask ourselves this when we walk into Hialeah's Mi Fondita Colombiana, which is always packed at 2pm on any random weekday. But their delicious arepa rellena mi fondita is such a deal that you could probably quit your job and just eat here every day (we are not advising you do this). It's generously stuffed with steak, chicken, chicharron, and comes with a hefty side of fries for only $13. The empanadas are also delicious and only $1.75." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
