Little place.... Big flavor!!!! Hidden gem in Miramar, a variety of Latin American cuisine. I can't help but be a regular. My fav is the chop-chop, you can't go wrong with the menu. The Chivo (goat stew) was fall-off-the-bone good! I usually have yellow rice and plantains. I've been looking for a good rotisserie chicken in SoFl and this IS the place!

I got a Groupon to this place a while ago... Yup, my Groupon expired but I finally got around to go use my paid value. The restaurant is clean and the people that work there are friendly. It was close to 6pm on a weekday when I went and there was one occupied table. I orders the Lomo Saltado, and was disappointed. I really wanted to like this place for its food. As soon as I saw my plate, my first thought was that I would need a to-go box (it's huge!!!) and the second thought was that it wouldn't be good. The color was off, too dark = too much soy sauce. Just by color, you couldn't tell the difference between the steak, onions, tomato or cilantro. Everything was stir fried together and this was a quite terrible Lomo Saltado. But I did eat it, because I was taught to eat everything I'm given. As I was eating, the place got busy and filled up pretty quickly. About half the people got carry out and the other half dined in. I'm thinking locals come here & the prices are decent. Or maybe I ordered the wrong dish.

Wow! I'm not kidding when I say this but I think I found my favorite restaurant! This place has all the food I love under one roof. All kinds of foods. Whatever you are in the mood for. I had the Arroz Chaufawhich is basically a Peruvian fried rice with seafood. It was delicious. My wife had the fries snapper, and I'm telling you, this was the best fried fish I've ever had. I cant wait to go back. By the way, I found them through a groupon.

This place was a refreshing variety of Hispanic food in the area. Their menu carries food from all corners of the latin cuisine. This is like a La Granja, if you are a local, but with a lot mote options. The goods: Variety, friendliness and speed.The bad: The food was not fantastic, it was ok (I had the fried snapper) and it was very very greasy. You can tell when the food has been fried in the same oil, over and over, because the thickness and the coloration of the food becomes a lot darker and thicker. The fish also looked a lot different and a lot bigger in the picture they have as a display. Not a bad experience. A place I could probably grab a bite from again.

Was excited to try a new lunch spot near my office. Was craving some latin so I ended up here. There was a big line which ususally means I wont make it back to work in time but that was not the case, was in and out in under an hour. so why the 2 star review? well the food while ok priced, was underseasoned and well underwellming. It had no flavor. Ended up having to dip everthing in their mayo dressing to taste something. And on top of that I just hate casheres that belive they own the universe. They have a combo of half a chichken with two sides and a soda. So when my friend ordered that and asked for an extra side of french fries the guy charged him everthing seperate. My friend ended up paying $2 extra because of this. when he asked why had his bill gone from 7 to 10 to 12 he said oh cause u ordered something that wasnt on the menu... wait what?? yeah sorry, wont be going back anytime soon.

Good selection of Latin American dishes,mostly Peruvian. Good prices friendly service on the counter. The only thing you should keep in mind is that the food takes a little while to be served. If you're in a rush,forget it.

Cane here today with my girlfriend since we were craving some spanish food and happened to find a good groupon deal. So the guy recommended to me the churasscoand at first it looked good. A few bites in I couldnt tell if it was good or disgusting. I kept eating and offered my girlfriend a piece and she almost threw up because it was so bad. My girlfriend also said her pasta tasted funky. I would not reccommend this place to anyone.

It seems that my experience here does not correlate to those previous of me. First getting there you realize it's like a food chain restaurant like La Granja, which I love. The guy recommended my boyfriend and I to get churrasco steak and tallarines verdes, green spaghetti. We were pretty excited and starving, wait time for the food was not long. Once we started eating, it seemed my spaghetti had a relatively weird taste to it then what I'm use to tasting when eating this dish but I figured maybe they used different spices for the sauce. Then my boyfriend said his steak tasted weird, I tried it and was immediately disgusted. Seemed to me like an old steak. I'm more than likely never going back, just sticking to La Granja.

First time visiting. I really like the atmosphere. I felt I was at a family get together with all the families and the good Spanish music playing, instantly got me in a good mood. The cashier was very sweet and funny. The food came out quickly too. I thought it had good flavor but Nothing out of this world if you are use to carribean/Spanish food. it was good and again it reminded me of something I would eat at my moms. The establishment is more of a upscale fast food joint because they do have better quality food than lets say Burger King. Prices are very reasonable and they have family deals and the portions are big. I might come back if I was in the neighborhood and craving Spanish food but I would probably Yelp another local restaurant just to try something new.

I got to the restaurant because I was near the area and Groupon had a deal of $15 for $30 When I got there on a Saturday night the place was relatively empty. The place itself is similar to La Granja chain restaurants with a patio for outside seating. I was pleasantly greeted and the menu with big pictures on the wall is clever for people who have no clue of Latin dishes. I ordered the ceviche mixto and my wife the mofongo with pork. Right there 2 countries on the same restaurant, awesome. Big portions, good taste and plenty of menu choices makes this a great little spot. :)

I was really hoping this place was good....but is not. Food is not authentic, too much seasoning, sauces lack flavor. Not going back. Staff is friendly and place is clean

The food is so good! We have been multiple times, and every time we go, all you hear is say is "mmmm" and "this is so good!" Everything is so delicious and you have to try one of the Peruvian sodas they serve! We tried the fried plaintains and the fried yuca, which weren't what we were expecting and not very good, but I would recommend them to try if you have never had them before because they taste very different! The service is fast, even during busy lunch hours. I can definitely say this is one place we will be returning to!

Great little spot. Not much in the way of ambience but the variety is very good and the prices are fair. The Carmonfongo which I Shrimp in a delicious garlic sauce served inside of a bowl of monfongo. Everything we had was excellent and domestic beers are only $2.50

It does not worth, roasted chicken does not have any flavor. Is incredible but is the first restaurant that do not have a trash can to deposit the garbage. I asked for chicken tenders for my daughters and was worse than the roasted chicken, greasy and too condimented. Maybe is good for the people who likes more quantity than quality. Definitely horrible.

They have mofongo with carne frita. Also ropa vieja. Good Latin cuisine. Good prices. If you work near the Miramar area, this is the place to go.

Oooohhhh eeemmm gggeeeee!!! I love this place and trust me, I'm not just any ole loose yelper throwing my 5 stars around freely. This place deserves it. Thank God for Groupon bringing us together. This is not just another Latin chicken grill. The ambiance? Cafe style, but served on real plates like this food deserves. You order at the counter, and save yourself the cost of a tip. Yah! You can sit inside or eat in the central atrium shared by the other restaurant next door. The food? A mix of Dominican, Peruvian and just darn yum yum, lick your fingers, DELICIOUS. No matter what time of day I come everything is consistently fresh, super fast, flavorful and perfect. I love their little bar that has sauces and seasoned onions, spicy and regular. There's some kind of green sauce there that is so tasty, if you don't mind the heat make sure you try it. I want to say it's a Peruvian Aji sauce but I don't know for sure. Anyway, all of the food is seasoned well and the bar just adds another layer of great flavor on top. My husband and I have tried the grilled chicken, the tostones, the papa fritas, the chop chop with beef (think of your choice of grilled meat and pico de gallo mixed together), and thanks to another yelpers review I dared to try the arroz chaufa (Peruvian fried rice) with seafood (to go). WWhhhatttt???!!! Even after ordering it over the phone and driving it home it was still AMAZING. My husband almost wrestled me to the ground to finish that rice off. I had never had Peruvian fried rice before. It reminded me of the best Chinese fried rice I ever had but fresher, no MSG, with LARGE chunks of seafood like shrimp, calamari and scallops. The chop chop reminded me of a lighter kind of Asian stir fry also, different and more flavorful than the chicken or beef chops I've gotten at other Latin grills in south Florida. No sauce needed. Their menu is extensive enough that it seems like there's something for everyone. I also like how you can mix their sides without an up-charge. Don't want fries? Get tostones? Don't want rice and beans? Get something else? In the end, the next time you're in the mood for Latin grill, give this place a try and you won't be disappointed.

Just opened here in Miramar. Latin food with a variable Latin flair - food from Peru to Puerto Rico. Can't go wrong here. The service was good - no complaints there. I ordered the churrasco steak. Was done well. This place lives up to the expectation the chain has set. They are running an awesome lunch special right now $4.99 1/4 chicken and fries. Not bad. The restaurant is clean, spacious, clear view of the grill at the back. The staff were friendly. I'll definitely be coming back....

I've eaten here several times. And it's decent. Today, the tostones and empanadas taste like they came out of a box. It has that freezer taste. We used a groupon $17 worth $30. It was basically like one free meal. So decent spanish food, will probably come back. Probably just an off day.
