  The food came out at a lightning piece which indicates to me it had been pre-prepared in the extreme, but what I had was really tasty. The Plantains are a bit pricey at eight dollars, but the shrimp and the octopus starters were great. Had a main of the fish from Cartegena which I can't remember the name of. That was really good. Very friendly and efficient service.

  Fabulous food. Hidden gem in South Beach. We walked over from Joe's Stone Crab after being told we had t wait 2 hours for a table. We were surprised to see the place quite empty after seeing good reviews. We ordered the choice 7 tapas platter and were surprised by the generous amount and the waiter recommended the Pescadores Margarita and a bowl of Creamy Shrimp and corn chowder. The dishes were absolutely delicious. The corn chowder was an experience different from new England clam chowder and is a must to start. The tapas platter gave you a chance to try a good selection of their extensive tapas. The pork belly and garlic shrimp was good. The fish came in a creamy sauce which was delicious. Highly recommended and off the over crowded and over rated restaurant on Ocean Drive.

  Our experience here was great! The food and entree portions are generous. Food is very flavourful and rich. The servers were nice and made great suggestions. Would visit again next time we visit!!

  Cute place. We paid $100 for 3 salads, a glass of wine, a beer and 3 empanadas. The food tasted great but the portions were a bit small. The service was not amazing. The tip was already included in the bill which is something that I tend to regard as a bit very polite practice.

  We went here after all the great reviews and we were disappointed in the food. Nothing special in the menu or in the food/flavor. Turned out to be an average meal with a high price tag.
  Amazing service, though! The staff didn't stop smiling and checking in on us.

  The ambiance is amazing. I would definitely go back for that reason alone. The food was good. The bandeja paisa is very tasty and complete, I did not like that you have to pay extra for sausage. It would be amazing if they gave you the option to choose between ground beef or steak. The pork rinds were on point. The drinks were really good and not so expensive. Great place to eat and party.

  What an amazing place! Went in search of chicharrons and found so much more! The food was wonderful, the staff super friendly and attentive. We were in Miami for 2 nights and this was "the Best" dining experience by far. We had a tapas platter with 7 items and each one was phenomenal! Thanks Susan for making our visit a great one!

  I thought this is for grown up or couples only but it's for the whe family too. The place is fun for everyone, the karaoke, the lady (lead singer) is amazing. Tbe food is really authentic Colombian and Peruvian, they are delicious. The staff is very knowledgeable. They make good recommendation on both drinks and food. Definitely coming back.

  If your bar for Miami service is low, Bolivar will help you raise it. This was the best service I had in Miami. Granted, it was my birthday and there was a surprise drum routine. But pair that with an attentive waited and triple-dip chips to start the show, and I'm hooked. Did I mention the food was amazing? I rolled out of that place with a grin.

  Understaffed service, slow, and bland. We were told they only had one cook for a weekend brunch. Took over an hour for our food to come and the order was wrong. One dish was ok, the other was flavorless. Only good part was the drinks were excellent. Waiters never checked on us, we had to actively flag them for anything we needed, including drinks. Way better and service at other places on the beach.

  Just a few blocks off of the main path but so well worth it. Great selection of Guatemalan, Peruvian and Venezuelan dishes. Prepared fresh and so tasty. Staff was very attentive. Being off the main tourist area made for better pricing to!

  Went here for a bachelor party dinner. Amazing place. Our waitress Louisa was extremely attentive, friendly and accommodating to our group and the food is authentic and delicious. The music is awesome and dancing between meal courses is a must! A+, 5 stars!

  Absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I came here on our first night in the city and man it did not disappoint! The drinks are amazing, service so friendly and accommodating, and the food is incredible! He's Honduran and I spent many years in Latin America, so we know good Latino food. Absolutely delicious food. Make sure you come here on your next visit!

  The food here is delicious! It's hard finding menus with vegetarian options but I was able to find something to eat and enjoy it! My husband is a meat eater and thoroughly enjoyed his food as well. I definitely recommend. The atmosphere is fun and has a Latin flavor to it. The drinks are very good too.
