A staple Chilean restaurant that is a must try in Miami. The service was top notch, the food was amazing and the wine flowed. Love this spot and you will too. Recently shared my bday with my twin sister, our group was 14 people and they accommodated us wonderfully.

Update for September 2025:
We visited a few weeks ago and were delighted with our food. I had the corn soufflé that has beef, chicken and egg inside. This is one of my favorite dishes there. My mom always orders their congri fish which is absolutely flaky and delicious. The servers are always on point and very attentive.
Absolutely delicious Chilean food. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The service was on point and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!
This is one of our favorite restaurants to visit with my parents. The cuisine is authentic Chilean delights. I’ve tried a lot of items in their menu throughout the years but I’ve narrowed my order in the past two years to their meat empanada for appetizer (I share half with my husband because they are huge), and I always order the corn casserole. These two menu Items are my absolute favorite. My parents love their congrio fish which of the most delicious fish I’ve ever had. The service is always perfect and it is a family atmosphere. We visit about one a month and have always enjoyed our meal.

Authentic Chilean Gem in a Strip Mall Setting
Don’t let the location fool you—Pamela’s Restaurante Chileno is a hidden treasure. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Absolutely excellent. I had the ceviche, which was fresh, plentiful, and bursting with flavor. The cazuela was comforting and rich, and the seafood empanada hit all the right notes. To top it off, the Chilean beer was crisp and delicious—perfectly paired with the meal. OMG and the dessert, milhojas was to live for!! A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chilean cuisine! Would definitely go again and highly recommend.

I had an incredibly upsetting and humiliating experience at this establishment. I came in with my service dog to quickly pick up takeout empanadas, and was immediately confronted and refused service because I didn’t have a physical license for my dog. I calmly explained that under federal law (ADA), individuals with disabilities are not required to carry documentation or a license for their service animals. Despite this, the staff (or owner) insisted I leave, showing a complete lack of understanding of the law, and basic human decency.
This type of discrimination is not only wrong, it’s illegal. It is extremely disappointing to be treated this way, especially when simply trying to support a local business. Instead of de-escalating or listening, they doubled down on their ignorance and made me feel like a criminal for having a disability.
I urge this restaurant to immediately educate themselves on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and train their staff accordingly. Turning away people with service animals is discriminatory and unacceptable.
I won’t be returning, and I hope no one else has to experience what I did
