I took a gamble ordering from a place I never heard of in Miami on Grubhub called Quinoa Connection, and it paid off BIG TIME!
1st of all, I never use Grubhub, but now as an Amazon prime member, I get free delivery.
2nd reason why I don’t order from Grubhub is that I am always so suspect that these restaurants I never heard of are ghosts kitchens making vegan food, who might not care about vegans, and I was wrong to assume that about Quinoa Connection. Not only do they have a location at 134 Hialeah Drive in Hilaleah (which I intend to visit soon), the owner, Donald, called and texted to verify my order, my allergies and to confirm my satisfaction as well, (plus he gave me a little extra treat too).
I order the “Pecandillo” which is essentially a Picadillo made with pecans instead of meat, tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, olives, raisins, and spices, served on top of quinoa and I added black beans for an extra charge. The portion was very satisfying and the taste and flavors were incredible.
As a surprise for a dessert, I was given an house made dessert empanada aka The Nada Empanada tm Key Lime, A Frozen Date, Almond, Orange Zest Pocket, filled with Key Lime Pie filling: lime juice, avocado, raw organic agave, coconut cream, vanilla, sea salt, and it was out of the world delicious! Literally the best variation of an ice cream sandwich I have ever had.
10 of out 10 for me on this one! The price was right, the portions were perfect, the owner was courteous and super kind, and the food was delicious and nutritious!
Vegetarian options: So many great whole food options!

Donald, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you, your passion in what you do is contagious and REALLY enjoyed the Pecandillo, just what I was needing, something healthy, comforting, filling and delicious. Can't say enough good things to express how pleasant and great my visit was. Will be back and recommended 1000%. A must if you're into a healthy lifestyle!!!

Not gonna lie at first this place looked sketch but the owner was so incredibly kind. He explained all the foods he made, gave us some delicious samples and we ate the best food. I'm not even vegan or a health food person but this was so delicious. I highly recommend.

It looks like an unassuming hole in the wall but we were so happy we stopped in! The owner absolutely charmed us and told us all about the food he makes and brought us so many samples. We had the “pecandillo” shepherds pie and my omnivorous friend was blown away by the meatiness.
Can’t recommend this place enough!

What a hidden gem in Hialeah , food is top notch, and the owner friendly and knowledgeable about vegan and organic food , a must
Food was clean and holistic. I was more than satisfied by making this my stop during my lunch break. My body feels good after eating the food here. Instead of the greasy and slouchy after effect that I get from most fast food options I can honestly say I feel energized.
Vegetarian options: Definitely honest and open about ingredients used.

Wowzers, what a delicious restaurant featuring lovely homemade, healthy food. We were greeted by Donald, the mastermind behind converting traditional Cuban fare to healthy replicas. We got the Pecan-dillo, which was jaw dropping, and the dessert Empan-Nadas, which were also fantastic. It was a cute and cozy spot, and we'll happily be back.
