“ I love coming here. The food is great and large portions. Hector is the best. Such good service and attention. Uma brasileira q adora comida Colombiana Highly recommend ”
“ ⭐ Review ⭐ Caution/Heads Up: Before visiting, be aware that this restaurant automatically applies an 18% service charge to all checks, regardless of party size. Also, since this is Miami-Dade, expect that most of the staff primarily speak Spanish. If you’re not fluent, bring a friend who is or be ready to use Google Translate. Parking: The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of free parking available, which makes things very convenient. Wait Time: I visited on a Sunday evening. Despite the restaurant being near full capacity, there was no wait to be seated. Food service took about 20–25 minutes, which felt reasonable considering the quality and freshness of the dishes. Service: Although there’s a language barrier for non-Spanish speakers, the service was still excellent. My waiter, Héctor, was extremely friendly and attentive. One unique touch: they serve a small complimentary soup as a starter—it’s light, flavorful, and sets the tone nicely. From being seated to receiving the check, the service was smooth and enjoyable. Food Ordered: Mango Juice (5/5): Absolutely fantastic. Thick, cold, and smoothie-like. I loved it so much I ordered two—and would’ve gone for a third if I had the room! Yuca Fries (4/5): Good, but different from the Cuban-style yuca fries I’m used to in Miami. I missed the cilantro-garlic-lime dipping sauce you’d typically find at places like Versailles or Havana Harry’s. Still enjoyable, but not my favorite of the night. Tostones con Aguacate y Crema (6/5 ): My surprise favorite. Perfectly crispy tostones topped with creamy avocado and meat (seafood is also available). Adding a squeeze of lime elevated it to a whole new level. I only got three, but could’ve easily eaten nine. Bandeja Paisa (4/5): A hearty Colombian classic for $22. It came with steak, avocado, refried beans, rice topped with an egg, and chicharrón. Flavor was excellent, but the dish leaned a bit oily for my taste. Still delicious and worth ordering—just a little heavy if you plan to finish in one sitting. Presentation: All entrées are served on what appears to be a banana leaf. It’s a small detail, but it really enhances the overall presentation and dining experience. Final Thoughts: Between the friendly service, hearty dishes, and flavorful juices, this place delivers a memorable experience. Come prepared for the automatic service charge and potential language barrier, but don’t let that stop you. The food and hospitality are well worth it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.8/5 stars rounded up to 5 for Google) ”
“ I had the pleasure of dining at this Colombian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the bandeja paisa and cazuela de frijoles—both dishes were outstanding. The bandeja paisa was rich and flavorful, with perfectly cooked meats and traditional sides that hit every nostalgic note. The cazuela de frijoles was hearty, comforting, and seasoned just right. What truly elevated the experience was the excellent service provided by Santiago. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Colombian cuisine with warm, welcoming service. ”

“ I had an amazing dining experience at Fonda Sabaneta in West Flagler! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors. However, what truly stood out was the exceptional service we received. Our waiter, Carolina, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Her attentiveness, friendliness, and knowledge of the menu made our meal even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find such outstanding customer service, and Carolina truly made us feel like valued guests. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend Fonda Sabaneta to anyone looking for great food and service! Five stars all the way!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”
