I don’t care if the place looks like this, I’m very supportive with local food, but one thing I can’t handle is bad customer service, I’ll never come back to this place.

Food is ok not great but there is people that hang around asking for money and i wich it was food but is not .

Today is September 8 5:30pm so I came this one's more. I try gallo pinto and cane asada with tajadas. Carne asada was good gallo pinto wasn't hot like it should be. La tajadas was all broke in a paper bag . I just wish ,I should took a picture of all. Anyway . I sat down to enjoy my food. Got the table . And got bird shot on it. She for got gave my folk and condiments. Anyway all finished went to bathroom there was no paper so I went ask the said that manager wasn't in yet , so you can use the women bathroom. So I dis all I wanted is to was my hands and gest what there wasn't any soap to wash my hands. Just water thanks.

I spend hours doing Uber eats to go buy me a Carne Asada. I went to YAMBO when i taste it was garbage the gallopinto was hard ,and the carne asada did not have any seasoning , I regret buying it from this place because the others fritangas were closed late at night . This place eas everyone favor back in the days years ago , no wonder is always empty.

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 is totally different. When we called they said they just serve plaintains when they’re out of the actual empanadas. Overall, huge ripoff. Do not come here unless you want to get scammed. - Este lugar te va a estafar al 100%. No tienen precios en el menú — a propósito, se siente así. Los precios que nos cobraron fueron más del doble de los que aparecen en línea. Nos cobraron $7 por jugos que en la página web cuestan $2.50. El nacatamal cuesta $6 en línea, y nos cobraron $9. La “empanada de maduro” que nos dieron cuesta $5 en línea y nos cobraron $8. Además, literalmente eran solo empanadas con queso… la mesera juró que así se sirve, pero la foto en línea es totalmente distinta. Cuando llamamos, dijeron que simplemente sirven plátanos cuando se les acaban las empanadas de verdad. En resumen, una gran estafa. No vengas aquí a menos que quieras que te roben.

I’ve been coming to Yambo for years whenever I’m in Miami visiting family, and I usually look forward to the food. Last night, I ordered carne asada, some drinks, and nacatamales before driving back home to Jupiter (about 90 miles north).

When I got home, I was so disappointed to find that while I received the gallo pinto, plantains, and salad, there was no meat in my order. Of course, it’s partly my fault for not checking before leaving, but really—customers shouldn’t have to worry about whether their main dish is missing. And this isn’t the first time this has happened.

To make things worse, I tried calling the restaurant and the phone number didn’t work. The nacatamales were also a huge letdown this time around.

I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves organization and quality control. I will be back next time I’m in Miami, but I plan to speak with a manager directly. This type of mistake is unacceptable, especially for loyal customers who drive a long way to enjoy the food.

Everyone here had an attitude and didn’t want to work. It felt like we were there during closing time when I asked at what time they closed they said 24hrs. Will never come back.

I love Yambos. I am a Miami native been coming here for over 3 decades when plates were 7-8 bucks. Yesterday Sunday we made our usual stop when around the area. I was very disappointed with the service upfront . I always ask for French fries due to histamine issues and the lady upfront advice they weren’t any fries mind you I been coming here for 30 years and they never have them ready as they are always cooked when ordered . It was very annoying since first time in 30 years I get denied fries. Secondly when we received the slaw salad which is always on point it was not well seasoned it was missing vinegar ans salt when we asked the lady upfront (same lady that refused the fries) said that they stopped adding too much vinegar because of the many complaints … same salad that has us coming back for 30 decades … I feel it’s important for long time customers to give their reviews to management because sometimes an employee lack of customer service skills will cost u customers specially those that have been loyal to your business ..this is why I’m giving you 1 star … as I read some
Of the other reviews and it seems most of the review is advising and complaining about the employees.

Portions have shrunk and cost has gone up. Not the same yambos as years past
