I found this place by chance because I was going to the bank across the street and the “carne asada” smell was so enticing. The steak was delicious and tender despite not being expensive, just $14 for a meal big enough for two people. It is a little humble place with great Nicaraguan food and prices!
Amazing food! The place was packed. I speak 0 Spanish so I just pointed at what I wanted and it was incredible. The flavor was amazing and everyone was really friendly.
Great flavors and very authentic Nicaraguan food! I love their Carne Asada and gallo pinto. It came with Maduro and cabbage salad. Price is is reasonable! Their Cacao was the best!
Like being back in Nicaragua - so good!Food was perfect and the staff were friendly. Only issue is the Latin America norm of using styrofoam and plastic.
Delicious food. The long lines are worth the wait because it’s difficult to get authentic food like this.
We went at around 4pm on a Saturday and the line was not too long. The carne asada was bursting with flavor despite the meat not being a prime cut. The carne asada is best eaten while fresh, once we brought it home and ate it later in the day it was tough. The queso frito was also a surprisingly tasty addition to the meal that I never thought possible. The plantains and beans were also very good. Overall, this place is good for some cheap eats.
Food was incredible with many options that I hadn’t tried before such as deep fried cheese. Fortunately I know how to order in Spanish as the cooks did not speak much Spanish, but they were friendly anyways. Food was appropriately priced for how much you get and then some! Definitely recommend
This place is packed at all hours of the day, every day. It's for very good reason though, the food here is incredible. I didn't even really specify what I wanted because I am a little shy in places that speak primarily Spanish so I just told her to make me the popular box. Great decision as everything was incredible from the plantain, the beans and rice, the cheese, to the meat. And the amount of food you get for $15, can't beat it. Definitely good reason for this place always being busy.
Food is way too salty and rice gave me a stomach ache. Not many vegetarian options and the business constantly spreads smog that sticks to the surrounding areas residents balconies/roofs and seeps into the air vents 24/7. I have a friend who has tried to grow plants on their balcony many times but were killed due to the constant heavy meat smoke that comes from this business. The 24/7 smoke is probably why the area looks so dirty…
Pinolandia is pinolandia okay? You know this place is banging and since they've decided to cut the carne a little thicker they get the full 5 stars. Had I rated it a year or so ago it would have been 4 cause they were cutting the beef pretty small. Fire fire fire, one of the best Fritanga along with Monimbo
