This place really surprise me, we were looking for a good carne en vara o a la llanera Venezuelan or Colombian restaurant since I’m Venezuelan and my husband is Colombian, we being trying different places that were not bad but somehow were missing something but this place has it all. The place is big and decoration was very Colombian, everything was clean and tables has enough space between each other, everybody was in uniforms making it feel like a well prepared workers. Great attention staring from the hosted that she was very nice, then our server Sebastian (the receipt said that was his name) was very patience and was recommending things without putting pressure, he came to the table a couple time to check on our food and make sure we didn’t need anything while we were eating but still gave us our space and time to eat and relax in our own time, he offered dessert and broad our check in very nice timing. We started with a large Refajo, it was a bit big for two but at the end we drank it all (I don’t have a picture for this) but was perfect for the food we got. We didn’t got an appetizer because we want it to eat a lot of meat, so we started with the “Carne llanera” (medium) that comes with cole slaw (Colombian style) steam potatoes and fried sweet plantain, the meat was tender and had that particular charcoal Smokey flavor very características of this type of preparation, the salad was a little citric very Colombian style and match perfect with the meat and of course potatoes and plantains were perfect, the portion was big, it was a lot of meat. We also got an “Entraña Marinera” (medium) that was a skirt steak perfectly grilled súper extra tender that was melting as soon as got in my mouth topped with huge shrimps on a White House sauce, the combination of flavor for this meat was amazing didn’t need anything else the border of the meat was little crispy but the middle was medium, you can pick two sides and we picked rice and French fries, the rice was perfectly loose and fries were crispy and flavorful too. And we finished with a “Tres leches Natas” that we shared, this is a tres leches cake mixed with postre de natas and it was fantastic, really creamy and actually it wasn’t that sweet, it was perfect. Oh prices were very good for the quality of food they served. Pictures will not make justice for the great flavors and textures we ate.

Feliz Cumpleanos! We celebrated with our Miami family like there's no tomorrow at Rancho Mateo! What a fantastic place to celebrate a birthday! They had a live band singing Cumpleanos Feliz multiple times for all the birthday people. Everyone in the place sang in their loudest voices, including yours truly! It was so much fun, so loud, so crazy and I loved it!! Adriana, our birthday girl, was having a blast! Columbian food is their specialty. We ordered several Carne a la Llaneras and they arrived in a huge stack on a big platter for everyone at our table! They were delicious and seasoned perfectly. They came with roasted potatoes, onions and everyone dug in. Soon we needed a second platter! Our lovely birthday girl was given a very special birthday drink that was in the largest cocktail glass I've ever seen! She loved it. Then a pitcher of beer arrived and we all tried it. The most delicious I have ever tasted! It's called Refajo....aguila beer and Colombiana champagne soda. Wow! I was glad that I was not driving that night. The singers came along and we clapped and sang Feliz Cumpleanos!! We had a great time! Our server was Javier and he was outstanding! We were never ignored. He made sure we had water, drinks, and were happy. We sure were happy!! We had the best time!! I felt rejuvenated when it was time to leave. The place was packed. I heard that if you don't arrive before 7:00pm on a Saturday, there will be no tables left. When we left, there was a long line of people waiting for a table. They have outdoor dining as well as indoor. There is a large parking lot there. Put this wonderful restaurant on your list asap. You won't regret it.

I’m letting you know right now, do not go to El Toro Churrascaría in Tamiami. We wanted to try something different for our 5 year anniversary, maybe get something small but we waited over 15 mins and no one even passed by to give us water. We just got side eyes. We even called out to one and they tapped someone else, who only took a few steps towards us before turning back around. How nice… Meanwhile… at Rancho Mateo, they are open till late, the food and drinks are fire. The vibe is much more lively too with Latino music. The minute we sat down, our server attended us almost immediately. We got our water, drinks and sauces about 5 minutes later. Then our appetizers 10 minutes later, we ordered the empanadas as the appetizer, 5 pieces were chicken and the other 5 pieces were meat. Thehe main course 15 minutes after. We ended up getting churrascos because our mood got so lit. Our server even took the time to explain the types of churrasco, which they cook in three different ways; Argentinian, Colombian and Cuban. Cuban has no fat so we ordered that well done and medium with rice and beans. Both were so delicious. We sadly can’t remember our server’s name, can’t recall him wearing a name tag but his excellent service earned himself a good tip. Hope to see him again next time we go! Highly recommend this place! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

During my recent visit to Rancho Mateo Restaurante in Miami, I was thoroughly impressed by the authentic Colombian ambiance and cuisine. The restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere, complemented by live music performances, made for an engaging dining experience.  Food Quality: The menu offers a wide array of traditional Colombian dishes. I particularly enjoyed the picadas, generous platters featuring pork ribs, steak, chicharrón, morcilla, fried yuca, and roasted potatoes. Despite being labeled for two, these portions are ample enough to satisfy a family of four.  Service: The staff was attentive and ensured our dining experience was pleasant. Our server frequently checked on us and promptly addressed any requests.  Atmosphere: The lively environment, enhanced by live music, adds to the restaurant’s appeal. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking both quality food and entertainment. Value: Considering the portion sizes and quality, the pricing is reasonable. The picadas, in particular, offer great value for groups.   Overall Experience: Rancho Mateo Restaurante provides an authentic Colombian dining experience in Miami. From the flavorful dishes to the vibrant atmosphere, it’s a place I’d highly recommend to anyone seeking traditional Colombian cuisine.

My mom went out innocently to have a nice time with my sister and our family friend. Unbeknownst to her she was going to have to pay an exorbitant amount for a margarita. The food here is good, I am not referring to that. I am referring to the fact that when asked if she wanted a margarita with a certain type of liquor there was no mention of the cost. Not only that but there were no listed prices for the cost of the drinks on any menu. My mom had no idea for one small margarita she would have to pay $85. My mom is not a connoisseur of alcohol so she had no idea that that brand would cost so much. And the waiter made NO MENTION that the upgrade would lead to such a cost. When I’ve upgraded drinks I’ve ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THE ADDITIONAL COST UPFRONT. My mother is not a rich woman by any means and was close to tears when the bill came. It is a COMPLETE RIP OFF because a bottle is $154 and they paid $170 for two small drinks more than the cost of the bottle itself. It is completely unacceptable from the restaurant. And they have done this to customers before if you check other reviews. This is not Colombian hospitality in the slightest and this restaurant should be ashamed to take advantage of hardworking Americans.

@ranchomateomiami is truly a Gem, located in Tamiami, Florida. This Colombian steakhouse has so much to offer and has such an authentic vibe to it. The food portions are huge so I definitely recommend sharing a plate. Here you can see I ordered their popular Bandeja Paisa which consists of white rice , beans , plantains , sausage , fried eggs , steak , chicharron and avocado. What I loved the most from this place is that on weekends they have Paso Fino horses trotting around while there is live Spanish music. The Paso Fino horses are a naturally gaited light horse breed. Pasos are prized for their smooth four beat steps, they are used in many disciplines, but are especially popular for trail riding. I’d recommend sitting in the outside area if you want to see the horses but they do have karaoke and entertainment in the beautifully decorated inside restaurant and bar area if you’d prefer not to sit outside. 🇨🇴 🐎 #tamiami
