Fritanga Airport — Restaurant in Miami Springs

Cafeteria style food place near the Miami airport. Order from the picture menu, or order individual items. You get a large plate of food for about 9 dollars or so. There are dishes like grilled chicken with rice, or more traditional Nicaraguan dishes like cerdo {pork} with yuca. Is it the best Nicaraguan food in Miami? Maybe not, but a good place to explore if you want to try something new  that is not Cuban food and you're close to the airport. The other restaurants near the airport are always crowded with a wait, while  here, you can walk in and order immediatley. I like the "tajadas con queso" or the "maduro con queso" as side dishes.

Hope they improve for their...

I used to love this place when it was called Monimbo. I guess there’s new management in place and the carne asada I had today was not good. The are lots of other choices in the menu but carne asada is my favorite. I was very disappointed as it tasted like old meat that was reheated. The gallo pinto was good but the plantain chips were cold and grease showed through the brown paper bag it was served in so it is not fresh either. service was fast and friendly. Not a great experience for sure and I probably won’t try this place again in a...
