“We love everything about Miti Miti!“

“I had an amazing experience at this authentic Costa Rican restaurant! The service was excellent, and the main dishes were delicious, especially the famous "Gallo Pinto" (I'm addicted). I highly recommend trying their Tacos Ticos or their Casado. They also have great drink options, including traditional coffee and natural juices.“

“I went here two weeks ago, very good food, I enjoyed my steak a lot, but there are couple things that I will point out, the music definitely must be more loud, you could barely hear anything it created the weird atmosphere since I could hear all what others around me are talking about, second thing they should inform you that the food will take a while go get ready, it definitely was worth it but just the server should be aware to inform us that it will be an hour wait for the food, also you can bring your own bottle of wine which is great!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Awesome first time here! Chef Jason and staff were extremely helpful. I tried their Lomo Saltado bowl. He gave me a sample of their pulled pork, carne asada, and chicken. They are slow cooked for a few hours. Everything was delicious and top tier! I will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Great tasting food, filling portions, friendly and fast service!!!“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but this place truly deserves it.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant, warm, and full of life—it instantly brought me back to Colombia. The energy, the music, the vibe… everything felt authentic and welcoming.

The food was absolutely incredible. This isn’t just your typical spot—it’s a true gastrobar experience, with delicious Colombian flavors elevated in such a creative and flavorful way. Every dish was packed with taste, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. You can tell there’s passion behind the menu.

And the service? Top-tier. Mauricio, our server, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find service that genuinely stands out like that.

Overall, I loved everything about this place. If you’re looking for a spot that brings together great atmosphere, incredible food, and outstanding service, this is it. I’ll definitely be back—and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true taste of Colombia with a modern twist. 🇨🇴✨“

“great service,just grest in venetal.👍“

“Drove by this place the other day and decided to check it out today, I was not disappointed. I had the rabo (ox tails) with arroz con gandules (rice and pigeon peas) along with a green salad with avocado and a chicken soup that slaps. The rabo was delicious, I had them pour a little of the sauce on the rice and it was incredible. The portions were perfect for what the prices are like today. I don’t know how long this place has been around but it’ll definitely be a go to spot for me if I want some good Latin food.“

“It actually met my food expectations and when I entered it made me feel at home, especially because of my Chapina people at heart. The only thing I didn't like and this goes to the owner, we ordered some chuchitos and with a plastic fork, the soft drinks in plastic and with a plastic straw, please compatriots, let's cut down on plastic, we are not comfortable and even less lazy, let's help the planet and Reduce plastic, it helps the restaurant look a little taller and more sustainable.“

“The food at this restaurant is definitely always a delight! It is a journey to many memories of what it is to eat homemade food made with love. For people who miss our countries this is the place where you can feel at home. Excellent service.“

“Tienen rica comida y batidos a cualquier hora pero la picada no está buena. Tiene muchas papas francesas no tiene chicharrón. No tiene rellena. Y esta muy cara por unos pocos pedazos de pollo y carne!! They have good food and drinks at any time. However la picada is over price for some pieces of meat and chicken and lots of French fries. It’s missing pork (chicharrón) and Colombian sushi (rellena).“

“Delicious food. Quick service.“

“I love just about every empanada I've tried.
I live in Pennsylvania and my family lives a few blocks from the restaurant.
Every time I'm in town I bring a dozen home with me.
I even pick up some for my friends at home.
The Cuban seems like their favorite. Mine also.
Keep up the great work.“

“A beautiful experience. The staff are welcoming and provided wonderful service. The food was absolutely delicious - the owner, Diana took the time to share the make-up of each dish; so many lovely flavours and wholesome ingredients. The atmosphere was also lovely. Warm, fresh and stylish. I am from Australia and I am so glad I chose to eat here. Grant“

“ARUBA LOUNGE 🤘🏻 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍺🍾“

“It is a very nice restaurant, clean, not so big, with plenty of parking. The music is varied, on Thursday they had Karaoke in English and Spanish. They have Hooka service, the staff in general is very friendly. The prices at Happy Hour are high.“

“The food here is amazing and the price is decent. My favorite is the soup and the fried fish. There is not much parking outside because it’s on the avenue. There is space to eat inside for a small group of 4. The service in taking orders could be better, sometimes the server takes long to get the food out to customers even if you called ahead of time.“

“Good place Naom !!!!!!!!!“

“I eat there frequently and I am never disappointed. I ate there during Covid, they delivered to my apt hot and ready to eat. Since she expanded I enjoy eating in now, also I bring other's to enjoy a meal and atmosphere.“
