Marytierra Restaurant — Restaurant in Miami

This mom and pop Peruvian restaurant was highly recommended by my good friends. It's not fancy nor big. It's also not the easiest place to find in downtown because it's along a busy strip plaza. I can't call this a hole in the wall because it's clean and organized. But one thing I can honestly say, it just simply blew my expectations.

Since this was my first time here, I just let my friends order whatever they normally get here because I trust their judgment. They ordered the Ceviche De Pescado, Lomo Saltado, and Anticuchos De Corazon. First thing I noticed was the portion. They were not stingy at all. Each entrée was enough to share between the four us. Secondly, the quality and taste were superb. Ceviche was fresh and had a nice spicy kick. The Lomo Saltado marinade was on point and not too salty. Plus the steak wasn't drowning with sauce. The grilled beef hearts were also delicious. Meat was tender with nice char from the grill and it came with a side of tasty steak potatoes. The best part of this feast was the price. Each entrée that we got was less than $15. Sweet! I also would like to praise the service. The servers were super nice and will gladly accommodate any special requests.

So lucky to be able to join my friends for dinner here. It was a good 1st experience and not sure why it took me so long to review this place. Maybe I didn't want this hidden gem to be overexposed...lol :) But then again, this place deserves the attention because your wallet will be happy for the quality and portion you get. Will...

My mom and I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special meal together. The food was exceptional—every dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and clearly made with care. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our waitress, Kecelis. She was an absolute gem! Kecelis was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her genuine enthusiasm for the menu added such a delightful touch to our meal. The service was prompt yet never rushed, allowing us to savor every moment. We can’t wait to return and hope to have Kecelis as our server again. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! more...

Found this restaurant via Google map review and tried it out due to curiosity. I was skeptical as the neighbourhood is a bit sketchy at dark.

But oh boy what a surprise. Food was beyond my expectation. Since it’s Peruvian restaurant, gotta try the ceviche. Ordered the fish ceviche and it tasted so fresh. Properly seasoned and well balanced. Probably one of the best ceviches I’ve had. This is made very classic tradiotional ceviche with fried corn for texture, some boiled Peruvian corn and a sweet potato to balance the spice. Too bad I was already too fool that I can’t order the chef specialties. The servings are huge. Maybe it can be good for 2.

Place is clean. Servers are nice. Paid street parking. Definitely try them if you’re in the area.

I’ll be back next time. This is a hidden...
