Best South American Restaurants in Miami Gardens

Miami has become an incredibly expensive city in recent years, and dining out has gotten much pricier. Since I discovered Chimba, it's a definite yes during the week! Thanks to their many promotions throughout the week, I can visit more than once a week. The lunch specials, amazing happy hour, delicious and reasonably priced drinks, and the best part: the Sound and Tasting experience. Not only is it an amazing experience, but they also have a fantastic vinyl DJ, which gives you the chance to meet a lot of people! My new spot in Miami is definitely CHIMBA.

Expensive. Nice ambiance. Service ok. My meat I had to send back but the new one was ok.

Traveling from San Francisco…on Christmas Eve…. We didn’t even expect to find a restaurant open let alone serving with joy and enthusiasm! Not sure which shined harder…the food or the service! Both were extraordinarily exceptional! We got the tasting menu for a price we would never had expected in an SF restaurant! It was a steal! But our wonderful server informed us we didn’t pick from each course…we got ALL the plates in each course. We were like: uhm…I know we are two decent sized guys but we are not a small army. She said the plates were small! And that is the only complaint I have. She said the plates were small! She lied! Virtually every plate was an entire meal! Sooooo much food. And all of it so good, we couldn’t stop eating! It was crazy! And it was all for a fraction of the cost of a comparable meal in San Francisco! One of the top 3 restaurants of my life!

Dinner after intercontinental flight with some small bites

all of the most amazing meals we’ve had in a long time. The crabcake is highly recommended is a giant lump of blue crab with some Panko breadcrumbs. lobster mac & cheese is amazing with giant chunks of lobster. The 8 ounce fillet was cooked exactly the way it should be as a medium with plenty of flavor and juice in the middle. oysters were nice and tasty. Did not taste old or have a stinky smell to them . ambience was perfect and the staff was extremely attentive. Met the owner, the GM and the AGM all good dudes. Excellent service highly recommend recommend
