- Food is absolutely amazing and they have greatly improved the service!!!! Get the mussels, the enrollada and definitely order a bottle of the house wine - best wine on the menu!!Upvote5Downvote
Melissa RiveraOctober 12, 2013Food was very good, I recommend the muscles as an appetizer, sharing and entrée and a few sides is the most economical way to go. Portions are LARGE!Upvote1Downvote
Petra F.December 12, 2017Two years ago, the same choice of steak and others for two was for 1/2 of the current price! It becames too much expansive for the value you get.Upvote1Downvote
In unfortunate that a restaurant with such great food, would have such crappy service. It happens every single time we come, no matter the day or time. Wish they would get it together.UpvoteDownvote
Miami New TimesAugust 15, 2014As soon as you hop out of your car in the parking lot next to Las Vacas Gordas (translation: the fat cows), you'll smell the hot grill. Read more

- Been coming here for 5 years, and food is always amazing. As everyone has said, La enrollada is amazing. House wine is very good as well.UpvoteDownvote
Olivia MoganDecember 21, 2016The ny steak was huge, sides are shareable! Overall good but our steak was undercooked, even after we sent it back again. It was still mooingUpvoteDownvote
Flip ModeNovember 8, 2016The best steak ever order the tomahawk steak or the rolled skirt steakUpvoteDownvote- Awesome food, nice atmosphere... small, but quaint and pleasant.UpvoteDownvote
JCAugust 28, 2010Good beef empanadas. Consider sharing the main course as every steak is over 16 oz. The service is legendary bad. Still good steaks. Go during lunch. Laugh off at the bad service ;)Upvote3Downvote
BashayerMay 2, 2012Awesome food. Horrible rude server cuz gratuity is included. Get the enrollado medium! &the provençal fries you'll die &go to heaven!!
UpvoteDownvote- Olivia MoganDecember 21, 2016Side- about 10 a piece, and steak is $30 and up for most. It was $150 for twoUpvoteDownvote
Felix LSeptember 6, 2014The portions are incredibly big, one is enough for two, but they will charge you extraUpvoteDownvote- Petra F.December 13, 2015When I think about it, it was my worst experience at Miami North Beach. If you want an argue with your partner because of table, choice, bill etc., so go there.UpvoteDownvote
- CarolynOctober 15, 2011Try the Parrillada For 2 - Beautifully seasoned but chewy steak, perfectly cooked.UpvoteDownvote
- Petra F.December 13, 2015The steak rib eye was really tasty but the staff is unhelpful and cold.UpvoteDownvote
NVS StylesFebruary 19, 2012I suggest u bring a personal little fan for your table, was humid as hell in there in the daytimeUpvoteDownvote
LaurensDecember 21, 2013Loved the old place prior to remodel. They seemed to have doubled the prices and now it's just overpriced.UpvoteDownvote
Sergii SynelnykOctober 31, 2014The food is excellent here, very big portion. But service is too expensive:( tips 18% were included. As for me it is too muchUpvoteDownvote
Ivan AlvarezMarch 14, 2010This is a great place but they not only encourage over-ordering but overtipping as well. Bill includes tip then cc slip says Tip (not add. Tip) so most people will tip twice. Not cool.UpvoteDownvote- CarolynOctober 15, 2011Try the Chimi Churri - Table chimi churri. Spicy and addictive.UpvoteDownvote
- Call your waiter/waitress a "vaca gorda" in exchange for a special treat!Upvote2Downvote
F-Factor NutritionAugust 23, 2012Filet mignon, always safe, always good. #FFactorApprovedUpvoteDownvote
David FriedmanAugust 6, 2011If you're hungry , order away. Otherwise, be careful as the plates are HUGE!UpvoteDownvote- The food is great but service is soooo slow! Come with patience, a lot of it!Upvote1Downvote
Christine DevaronaJune 15, 2011Enrollada is the only way to go. I definitely recommend.Upvote2Downvote
Dylan RobertsJanuary 30, 2011Service was slow, but nice. Food was excellent, though. Don't come here if you're not a patient person, but the food is waaayyyyy better than the service!Upvote3Downvote
Paul SpradlingJune 1, 2012We were 3 at a table for 4, waitress came & moved us to a super crowded table for 2 even though the place was empty! "Company Policy" BS!!!UpvoteDownvote
- Staff is not very friendly, but if you ever sit down and get your food, it's delish.... Worth the obnoxious attitudeUpvote2Downvote
- Garlic hanging from beam is not to scare off vampires, but to keep bad influences awayUpvote1Downvote
Alexander Campos SarzalejoOctober 20, 2014I definitely DO NOT recommend this restaurant. They're stealing people's money trying to be SLICK. And I know I'm not the only person who's gone through this. Shame on you.UpvoteDownvote
RonaldoMarch 8, 2010Any dish can be shared up to 3 people but the waiters don't disclose when taking orders. That isn't cool but food is good.Upvote1Downvote
YotamJanuary 18, 2015Meh. Very slow service (40 minutes), cold steak and not worth the price.
