Great fritanga! We've been going to Yambo for years when a friend told us to try Pinolandia. We had to give it a try! Pinolandia has a couple locations and we tried the one in the Riverside area! There is plenty of street parking but beware the street in front of it get busy! Inside there's the food bar which you order from then there's a room to the right with plenty of seating if you decide to eat there. There is also a little market inside with yummy drinks, snacks and food. We ordered the carne asada, gallo pinto, queso frito and platano. We also ordered a side order of chicharron. The chicharron was a little dry but the portion was big! The food was great. Once portion is enough to share. I also really like the vinegar sauce we got, it's very tasty! Highly recommend Pinolandia for an affordable meal with large portions! Don't forget to try a juice at the market inside!

I forgot to snap a picture!! Anyways, the smell of bbq on the street was very inviting. It's cafeteria style so you choose just what you want. The black beans and rice had so much flavor!! The shredded beef and carne asada were delicious. The side of plantains pulled it all together. There's a bakery inside with fresh juice and baked goods! It was so hard to choose! We got the melon and tamarind juice. My fav!!! The pineapple empanada was sweet and satisfying. I'd love to come back and try the chicken and fried fish. At least, I think it was fish. I don't speak Spanish, and there is no posted menu, so I just pointed out what I wanted. Lol They were all very nice!

Hands down the best Nicaraguan Fritanga in the area. The gallo pinto and the carne asada is unparalleled. The price of the food is still good and the amount of food they serve is still a whole lot. This is definitely one of those guilty pleasure place we like to go to when we are starving and don't want to spend a lot on good food.

I enjoyed the food here. They have your classic gallo pinto and carne asada. The meat was delicious! I was upset my ensalada was store bought slaw mix but everything else was good. Not sure if they speak English there so if you aren't fluent in Spanish be patient.

When we go to a new city, we like to find interesting places to eat with amazing food. While in Little Havana, we found such a restaurant! We read other reviews so we were prepared on what we needed to do. We got on line and waited our turn. This is a place that the neighborhood comes to eat, we might have been the only tourists, which I loved. Everyone was so nice and kind. We don't speak Spanish and the staff doesn't speak English but we ordered the Carne Asada, Gallo pinto, and Queso Frito. We were astonished at the large portions and the reasonable price-$16 per platter! There is a little shop at the back of the restaurant where you can buy drinks. All food is packaged to go and many people did take out their food, but we ate in the adjacent dining room. We couldn't find a bathroom, so be forewarned. Now, the food! The Steak was tender and perfectly seasoned. Very delicious! The rice and beans were very good. And the fried cheese was yummy. My husband ate every drop of food, but I just couldn't finish the rice. I would definitely come back again when in the area.

Pinolandia is the go to fritanga in Miami. With several locations throughout the city, there's bound to be one close to you. The food is ALWAYS consistent. The carne asada is tender and flavorful. The gallo pinto is fluffy and never dry. I love the combination of sweet and salty between the sweet plantains and the queso frito. The team here is always quick to serve you and they do it with a smile. The place lacks in terms of decor but this isn't a spot to come and take IG worthy photos, let's be honest , it's about how great this food is and the portion sizes which are AMAZING!

Whenever I visit Miami, I always make a point to stop by Pinolandia. It's hands down the best fritanga in the city! The flavors are just out of this world, and the portion sizes are so generous that my husband and I can easily share a plate. It's impressive how much it's changed over the years. What used to be a little hole in the wall has transformed beautifully. They've added a seating area, making the ambiance really nice and inviting. My go-to order is their carne asada, gallo pinto, tajadas, fried cheese, and the Cole salad. Every bite is just heavenly. Omg, so delicious!

I love it here and they love you back They are the frikkin best especially after a club or party or whatever late night run in Miami. This is at 3AM!!!! And you can see her digging for the perfect seasoned up hot delicious peace of meat ! They don't do that at chipotle my guy. I hate telling ppl about this place because not everyone deserves allll my secret restaurants but I do anywaysss The pictures give it no justice JUST GO! And you wait in line too, shut up and wait your dang turn you not gonna eat nothin better than them anways! Open 24/7 & don't forget the cocoa milk!
