El Sarten Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Hialeah

I want to share my observations regarding El Sartén Restaurant and Lounge, which I believe could benefit from slightly adjusting its name on Google to "El Sartén Buffet & Lounge." A more accurate title would enhance search visibility on Google Maps, potentially attracting a larger clientele to the buffet in Pembroke Pines, especially since the establishment is identified as a "buffet" on the map after searching.

Upon arrival, I noted that the atmosphere could be enhanced. The restaurant's facade appears uninviting, and more vibrant advertising could improve its external appearance and representation of the offerings inside. The owners may want to consider introducing more colorful elements to the exterior and ensuring that the entrance is clearly defined for easy identification by customers and their families.

The quality of the food at the restaurant is exceptional. However, the variety of dishes offered at the Latin buffet is limited. The quality remains high, complemented by warm and friendly customer service. The pricing is reasonable given the level of quality, particularly in preparing traditional Latin dishes, with a notable emphasis on Cuban cuisine.

Additionally, I suggest a thoughtful analysis of the interior layout of the dining area. A revised arrangement could enhance the dining experience by ensuring that food collection areas are more isolated from the dining spaces where customers enjoy their meals.

In conclusion, I emphasize the outstanding quality of the dishes available at this establishment. I recommend El Sartén Restaurant and Lounge to anyone seeking delightful options within traditional Latin and Cuban Creole cuisine, whether dining with a partner or family member.

Wishing everyone a wonderful...

I flew to Miami for a quick business trip and had seen a lot of chatter about El Sartén in Hialeah. Influencers, reviews all talking about how awesome this place is. Well they were right on the money!! Nothing short of GREAT! Called ahead and spoke to Carla, she is the nicest host. She remembered me as I walked in and came over to greet me and my party of 3. We were sat at a comfortable table and shown around the buffet. At first glance EVERYTHING looked super clean, organized, and best of all delicious! Felt like home. I had a pork cutlet with white cream mushroom sauce, Imperial Rice, Picadillo, Malanga cream soup😍🤤. Salad, fresh Garlic rolls. Fruit salad. I could not get over how many amazing options they had! Daian our server was the best. Our water glasses were never empty and plates were cleared immediately after we finished the meal on them. Malu the manager is the sweetest and most considerate person. She could not stop offering us more options to try, wanting to please us. She personally went to every table greeting her guests/diners. I will be back, for sure. Probably go on weekend (Saturday!) for Live Kareoki, entertainment and dancing. Highly recommend El Sartén! The value for money is out of the park. Paid 18.95 per Adult plus tax/tip and was shocked at how reasonable it is. Easily could pay up to 25.00 at other places and it's not a Buffet, All...
