About Yambo

Yambo is a well-known restaurant that serves good food with a focus on comfort rather than gourmet cuisine. It is a classic spot in the Miami food scene, famous for its plentiful and flavorful dishes. Options like Yambo Fritangas, featuring fried cheese, are very popular among diners. The portions are massive and generous, making it easy to share a meal with someone, and the prices are economical given the large amount of food served. The restaurant has two dining areas: one outdoor and one air-conditioned, creating a cool, unique vibe that adds to the experience. Customers often enjoy dishes like carne asada and pollo guisado, highlighting the delicious flavors and good quality for the price. Many visitors find the food hearty and satisfying, appreciating the extras like fried plantains, pickled veggies, and slaw that make each meal special. The place is considered an institution, with a casual atmosphere where guests pick their items from the counter, grab a beer, and find a seat. Despite some minor quirks like limited parking and occasional language barriers, Yambo remains a Miami staple, loved for its consistent good food and unique character. It is especially appreciated by those seeking a relaxed, satisfying meal in a lively environment.

This place will 100% rip you off. They have no prices on the menu - purposefully, it feels like. The prices that they charged us were more than double the ones online.

They charged us $7 for juices that are $2.50 on the website. The nacatamal is $6 online, they charged us $9. The “empanada de maduro” that they gave us is $5 online and charged us $8. It was also literally just empanadas and cheese… the waitress swore that that’s how its served, but the picture online...read full review
