This place has the best traditional Nicaraguan quesillos I have ever tasted in Miami, sweet pico, and subpar chicha. But let me warn you, the insides of this place are not like a five-star restaurant. However, it will make you feel like you are back at any traditional food place in Nicaragua.
First off, I was a bit surprised because when I went to eat a quesillo previously, I ate it on a plate, so when they handed me the quesillo in the bag, I thought they confused my order for to-go. But my friend assured me that this is how they traditionally serve it. The cheese in this quesillo was chewy and delicious. The cream was sweet. It just had the perfect portion of ingredients. When you finish your quesillo, there is a lot of fluid left over, so I recommend to just drink it from the bag. It does taste good after all!
With the pico, it was the first I ever had, and I enjoyed the crunch and sweetness of my Nicaraguan dessert. I would order it again.
The chicha was also good, but I need to point out that I have had better at different fritangas and at Yambo. It was sweet, but it was missing all the maize extract pieces I enjoy in this drink. I think they just did not mix it better than they should have. It was also a bit sweeter than all the other ones I have ever had-- somewhat overpowering.
Overall, my meal cost me $9. It made me reminisce about my vacation last December to Nicaragua. I will definitely come here again to grab another quesillo or pico if I ever feel the urge. They were just delicious and tasted as authentic as possible.
HUGE PLUSSES: The owner speaks English, so you don't have to struggle if you don't know Spanish.
RANDOMNESS: They have a vending machine that sells miniature cans of nuts. Very interesting.
