Very nice South American restaurant/lounge in South Beach. We had the Mazorca (spicy/cheesy corn) and beef empanadas as well as the steak tips and they were tasty. They do a very tasty mojito too

The lunch special is definitely the best bang for your buck! Wonderful, flavorful and fresh food here. The sangria is fantastic with fresh fruit and real sugar cane stalk as a garnish. It's a must-go!

The second stop in the South Beach Food Tour is Taverna Bolivar. You will have a refreshing refajo, an empanada paired with a spicy ahi sauce and a 'patacon con carne'.

This place far exceeded my expectations. The food was so amazing that we came back the next night for dinner as well. The arepas, patacones, & empanadas were awesome!

The Baneja Paisa is the dish to try here. The Pollo Saltado was salty. The Patacones con carne appetizer was very good. The Sangria was generous. The Crema Catalana was quite tasty.

You can't miss Refajo likes a drink, corn cake with creole sauce like appetizer. Try the Bandeja paisa ( colombian dish) and Shot of ceviche.. You don't regretted. :) ;)

A perfect place with super tasty food and one of the best ceviche i have ever tried, close to the ocean's drive yet surprisingly without crowds of tourists.
