Steak was dry. Gallo pinto had no flavor. Very disappointing.

It is open until late at night, the food is excellent and it is a place where you can get very picturesque and colorful photos.

Frankly, this location is not as bustling as the Pinolandia 24/7 Fritanga down the street. With that being said, Yambo is a Nicoya staple. The indoor seating area and bar feel like you are in a fritanga back home. The prices are unbeatable, buckets of 6 Toñas for $30, a sampler plate that feeds a whole table. Where else can you say Selena Quintanilla and Hulk Hogan enjoyed some central American food? I like stopping in with family or out of town guests for the ambiance and colorful decor. If you are looking for faster service, try Pinolandia, but if you want an authentic sit-down experience, come to Yambo.

Wow... the carne asada is cooked for perfection and well seasoned. The rice is perfect, the curtains were perfect, the salad picante is sooo good with it! It reminds me of Haitian Pikliz! Definitely my new last night's place will be!

Reliable food available for all hours. They have parking in front and back. You can go and order your food to go without having to board. You have a small bakery on the side for coffee and pastries. You also have an indoor restaurant. Interesting decoration that I was sure was a lot of fun before the pandemic

When I tell you, this is one of the best spots I found in MIA, I'm not lying. The steak was full of taste, the rice was top animal, and the plantains were super sweet! I will be back when I visit again also the place is 24 hours and cheap! You can't beat that!

Food is ok if you walk in to eat. Don’t Uber eat, or delivery. They will intentionally send the worst meat with all the fat and burnt rice it’s happened a couple times already.

Great food , horrible service from the people in the windows inside of the restaurant is different). But if you’re taking to go food , they have bad attitude, it’s feel like you’re bothering them , and it is not that they are having a bad day,because this has happened every time I go there with my friends

The food was ok. Nothing to brag about. We seat outdoors in the evening. I was bitten by bugs and the creme was completely water and had to ask for a new one. The tres leches was really watery as well.

It was a fun experience. This place is nuts. I’m not talking about the food, but the decorations: Crazy fun. I spent my visit being absorbed by all the stuff on display here. It’s very distracting, but in a good way. Pure maximalism. This is aNicaraguan joint, so carne asada is what I wanted. The food was tasty, as expected. And the plate was HUGE. My plate was acombination of carne asada, sweet plantains, rice, salad fried cheese and a piece of avocado. I was not able to finish it, butit was good. The meat was a little dry but tender, good flavor. I liked it. A big letdown was the servers. Maybe I went there ona slow, day but the server was not very helpful. She was interested but lazy. She wasn’t letting me order what I wanted, andit was right there. This thing aside, I see why people get very fond of this place. I’ll try it again soon, to see if anythingchanges.

Probably the best rolled tacos(taquitos) that I’ve had. I live in TX on the border of Mexico so I’m well accustomed to Hispanic food. I ordered 2 servings of chicken tacos, it was well seasoned, perfect temperature, and ready before the pick up time! It’s a cute little restaurant in downtown Miami, parking was free at the restaurant. The only potential downside is I’m not sure if they speak English you have the option for indoor or outdoor seating. My Oder was thru Uber eats with self pick up.
