Metropol Restaurant Bar - Miami

I give this restaurant three stars. I decided to check it out last Sunday to see what all the buzz was about. While I’m still on the hunt for the best mofongo in Miami, I wasn’t impressed enough to return anytime soon. However, I might consider going back to try some different items from the menu. The food was decent; we ordered alcapurias, tostones rellenos, mofongo with carne frita, and mofongo mar y tierra. The place was quite busy, and we opted to sit inside since it was noisy outside with mall-goers passing by. The service was good but a bit slow, possibly due to being slightly understaffed.

Fantastic food with a wide variety of options. The customer service was outstanding, and our waiter Jualian was exceptional. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return!

Excellent food and service! The drinks were well-made. We ordered the breaded chicken, and it was cooked to perfection.

It's in the mall, but when you eat inside, it's a real restaurant experience. Not many places you can go to find authentic Puerto Rican food. Was very excited to eat here and introduce my son to the food. We had great service and prices were reasonable.

I had a pleasant meal, though I found it a bit overpriced. Overall, the food was very good. We started with calamari and fried cheese as appetizers, both of which were nice. For my main, I ordered vaca frita, and there was definitely plenty of meat alongside some delicious rice. Our total bill for four people, including tip and a few drinks, came to $244. The waiter informed us that the tip would be shared among the staff and almost insisted that we give an extra tip just for him. While we did end up giving an additional tip because he was excellent, it felt a bit pushy regarding the gratuity. I don’t want to sound overly critical, especially since times are tough; we originally tipped 20%. Overall, it’s a nice place. We opted to eat indoors, but sitting outside, you can hear the nearby music, which adds a lively atmosphere (especially on weekends).
