One of my biggest pet peeves is when a restaurant has a lunch menu and the waiter gives you a regular menu. I asked my waiter if there was a smaller portion of tacos, and he said no - that I had to get four tacos. After several questions back and forth, he finally told me there was a lunch portion, after I asked for it. We also ordered two kids meals, which were Tiny and pricey ($7.99). I guess their baby burger would work for a four year old, but my 11 year old left hungry. Bottom line: this place serves good food, but it's quite pricey for what it is.

Maybe it's me, but it sure seems like the waitstaff has a lot of down time. The restaurant is full, but the staff seems largely inattentive. The bartender has a "why am I working here" attitude, and another bartender, she doesn't know if she should drink behind the bar or in front of it. It was food that I complained about when I ate at the truck so very long time ago, now it was service. It was not that the I was never served, I was it's just that bartenders are the ambassadors of the industry, a bad bartender, and it's like going to the dentist, you'd rather be some place else. From appearance management was as bad as employee's and they didn't have a grip on standards. I did come across a friendly bartender, he used words like "Good Choice" and "Can I Help You" positive words, asking me if I liked my meal. I was happy my pretty little bartender was away even if it was temporary. The food was exceptional, five "fu%$en" stars. I ordered the Masitas, they sure did look like Tostadas, but what ever you name it, they were excellent. I wanted to order more, but since the bar was the gathering point for the employee's, I burned out and needed to go. Now would I go back............... The food was good, but I'd sit at a table, the bar lacks professionalism.

Is there a way to give less than 1 star? I haven't left a review in a while, nor have I felt more compelled to do so this time... I consider myself a burger junkie and make sure to hit some of the top rated burgers in every city I go. I decided to try this place out and boy was a blown away. About how bad it was. Atmosphere was average, service was average, but all of that was overlooked by just how awful the food was. I decided to get their classic "award-winning" burger and one bite in I realized it was the worst mistake of my life. It was, without exaggeration, the absolute worst burger and meal that I have ordered in any eating institution. I mean, honestly, ever. As my wife was saying how terrible her meal was, I asked her to try my burger. It took just 1 bite for her to realize exactly was I was experiencing, sheer straight terribleness. I don't know if the cook was having a bad night and demolished both of our dishes, but I can safely say I'll never step foot near this place again. The sangria was good.

Visited this place last week while vacationing in Miami. My family and I thought we'd give the place a try after watching it on diners drive-ins and dives since the food looked so delicious. We were not disappointed! We ordered the mango habanero wings for starters which were quite spicy but very flavorful. For mains we got the chimi burrito, which was good but a little bland, the rice bowl with chicken which was amazing, some of the best rice I've had, the Cuban burger which had a sweet kick to it and the nachos which were by far the best thing we ordered! It was layered with lots of cheese and chicken, simply delicious! By the time dessert came around we were way too stuffed to order anything else since the portions were quite big. I would give this place 5 stars if the service wasn't so slow but regardless was a place worth trying. Make sure to order all your food and drinks at once so you don't have to keep asking the waiter to come around, and then waiting for them to help you out. I'll be sure to visit if I'm in the Miami area again!

I decided to try this place after purchasing a groupon. I am glad I didn't read the reviews prior to doing so, or I might have not done so due to comments on the service. Our service started out a little slow, but overall was decent. Our waitress, who had only been working there a few weeks, was awesome! She made great recommendations, and checked on us a few times after the meal was served. Our groupon was $28 and included 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 2 glasses of wine or beer. We started out with a cheesy fondue that had huge chunks of Carne Asada in it! OMG..it was heavenly! If I were at home, I would have licked the bowl clean! This appetizer was huge (lots of meat) and could easily serve 3 people! We also ordered two glasses of Moscato. The portion was generous and it was chilled to perfection. This Moscato was very tasty! For our entrees, we ordered the tacos (4) and the chimi burrito with carne asada. Our waitress let us know we could order different types of tacos if we wanted to, so we got 2 fish, 1 shrimp, and 1 steak. When the food arrived I was in shock! The portions were huge and the presentation fabulous! The fish and steak tacos were my favorite. The burrito was so big, I could barely finish one half of it. I ended up taking home the other half. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and wanted to try dessert, but didn't have any room for it. Next time, I plan to share an entree so I can save space for dessert! For those complaining about the price, I don't think they are overpriced at all. They use good quality ingredients and are generous with their portions. Everything we ordered had lots of "protein". With the groupon, we spent $40 (tip included). Without the groupon, we would have spent $58+$12 for tip. I don't think $35 per person is unreasonable for a complete meal and alcohol. I definitely plan to return.

My mouth was having a party of it's own here. Starting with the sangria... OMG, so good that you begin to chug it like it's juice, 3 glasses down and I had the famous vacafrita burrito, holy Jesus so good, deff enough for 2 to share, if your nice, then ended the meal with balls to the wall.... Let's just say my mouth, tummy, and mind rolled out if the place like it just visited the food gods. This was my first time coming to the restaurant, I'll be coming back FORSURE!

I'm more in the 4.5 range for Latin House. Went for the first time last weekend, and it was absolutely delicious. The selection of beers is really good as well as their sangria. We had the nachos with chicken as our choice of protein and they were phenomenal. Definitely recommend them as an appetizer. Though I warn you, they are HUGE! I had their burger (American-style). Loved the juiciness in the meat and veggies added. The bacon was alright, however. The "fries" that come with the burger are really good, I think I got a salty batch though. Overall, the meal was very satisfying.

Food is good which is what really counts. The burgers are really good and the fish tacos are just as good. Now for the service. The servers are grata but the kitchen is real SLOW!! Last 2 times I have been here we waited anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. That's just along of time for a burger. Even then they got the order wrong. Pretty crazy. Overall not a bad place.

Latin House is great but my only complaint is that they masked the food to big but whatever u don't have to eat the whole entire thing I love the burgers
This place is so fantastic, I can't believe anyone gave it less than five stars! I couldn't believe how fast the food came, the sangria was the bomb! And so was out server Kevin! Kevin has a great sense of humor and great taste in wine. My daughter said they were The best quesadillas she ever had and she has had a lot(I'm not even exaggerating. She almost always orders them if an option.) Our new favorite restaurant! The place has a great atmosphere and such delicious food. And The deserts!! The deserts!! You can't leave here without trying one! So happy to have some new Awesome restaurants in west kendall! Open Mondays and we'll be here every one!

I was so excited to eat at Latin House, from the moment I saw the menu. We decided to finally go on Friday night. As we arrived we were seated promptly by the hostess, that was the highlight of the evening. Actually, the food wasn't bad but, it is really hard to say positive things about the food, when so many other terrible things over shadow it. The waiter was inexperienced, unfamiliar with the menu and specials which we knew about bc of Facebook, and was clueless in general about everything else. When inquiring about the specials, I asked the waiter about the "tomahawk steak", the waiter looked at me like I was crazy, it is actually a special that they offer,very often. I don't know about you, but don't use the word "tomahawk" often in everyday conversation, so it is extremely puzzling to me that our waiter would be so unfamiliar with the menu, and the special. After all the "tomahawk" shenanigans, our waiter finally brought us the specials menu. Yes, he brought us a whopping 1 menu to be shared among 4 adults. Our waiter had no idea how many "pig wings" come to an order or how they were prepared. "4 to 6" he said, there were 3 pig wings. When our food arrived, we asked for ketchup. CRAZY RIGHT??!!?? I know, what we're thinking asking for ketchup at a burger and taco bar!!!! Yeah, bottom line, no ketchup. I understand stand to certain extent that the chef would want to maintain the integrity of the recipes that he puts together but, this is a business, and he is in the business to make money. How can you have a children's menu, serve burgers and fries, and not have ketchup. It's just weird!!!! Chef M, apparently, doesn't provide ketchup bc it has "preservatives". But don't worry, they will provide for your dipping pleasure if you would like, 2 spoons full of BBQ sauce served on a very large appetizer plate. Our table was very cluttered so I asked our waiter if he could just bring a small bowl and he responded by saying "chef m is very particular about the way he serves things, this is the way he wants to serve his BBQ sauce". So, apparently there is this whole plan on how BBQ sauce is going to be served, not ketchup, at a burger place. OK, makes perfect sense. We were never asked about wanting refills or more beers. Our waiter was always lost and never to be found. There are only 2 desserts! Alright, not that big of a deal but, the problem is that the 2 desserts they do have,are practically the same thing. They are both cleverly named deep fried dough, with sweetened condensed milk, one has chocolate in the middle and one doesn't. Yes, I agree, sound delicious, and they were but, how about some diversity. When are dessert arrived we were given forks....?!?!? I asked for a spoon and was told that they had run out. I wonder why they ran out of spoons. Maybe if Chef M wasn't so ridiculous about the way he wants his inexperienced staff to serve, weird BBQ sauce, instead of preservative filled ketchup, even though there are organic alternatives, at a burger place, maybe, there would have been enough spoons for their two deep fried dough desserts. Yes, I know that sentence went on forever but, I want you to know that this negativity is all stemming from the fact that I had such high hopes for Latin House. Last and final nail in the coffin, is when our bill arrived. There was an automatic 18% gratuity added. There were 4 adults and 2 children that didn't eat. Completely, ridiculous!!! I really hope that Chef M gets it together. Apparently he is putting way to much thought on how he is going to present BBQ and not enough time on what is going to keep his business thriving. I love how there is such a discrepancy in the reviews, either people hate this place, or 5 star love it. Maybe they should put more time and effort into making the service better, then begging for good reviews from their friends. Went back in, after a few years, and was still disappointed. Positive was the food was pretty good but, the service was still horrible, and I restaurant was so stuffy and hot, and it wasn't even full. We asked multiple times if they could lower the air and was told it was at its lowest. Food took forever, yes I know everything is made to order not frozen ..... But still way too long. Ordered sweet petals to come with my meal, were finally brought to the table, when I was practically finished with my burger. You would think that maybe they would have taken it off the bill but, nope....

Excellent!! Red sangria was addicting, it's do delicious that you just want to chug it. 3 glasses down and I ordered the vaca Frita burrito and it was delicious in every way possible. Deff big enough to spit with your loved one. Dad had the popular burger and said it was 1 of the best he's ever had. Mom had the.... I forgot but it was some taco and she loved it. Finished the meal off with balls to the wall dessert.... Do not leave the place without ordering this dessert!!!

I have been craving Mexican food since I left San Diego this past April. After reading all the raving reviews, I came here to give it a shot. I have driven by here plenty of times, but for some reason never realized it was here. The restaurant has an open layout with a sizeable bar area and a few TVs spread out evenly across the bar. Place was lively with a few large parties having a good time. I waited to be seated but after seeing no hostess I just went to the bar. Took a while before I was noticed, even though the bar only had 2 people. I got a menu and it had a lot of great items that I would normally consider, but today I was on a mission for tacos. They had a pretty wide variety of meats you could choose for your 4 tacos (I think about 10 choices). I went with chicken, carne asada, carnitas, and vaca frita. Then I waited, and waited, and waited some more. It took about 40 minutes to bring out 4 tacos, and my server never came around to check on me. Another waitress came by after awhile and asked if I had ordered, then refilled my water. When I finally got my food, I was ready to dig in. The presentation was nice, as each taco had lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and a cilantro cream sauce that was decoratively setup. I tried the chicken taco first, then the vaca frita, next the carnitas, and finally the carne asada. All of the tacos were delicious. My favorites were the chicken and carnitas tacos. They tasted fresh and clean - not like something that was reheated or using substandard ingredients. However, I wouldn't consider this Mexican food. It is a good interpretation and tasty, but it doesn't have the authentic feel or taste. I have been searching for that taste of Mexico I had in San Diego that every taco shop over there has, to no avail. I will have to keep looking. No knock on this place though. I will come back to try some of more of the menu, I would have given 4 stars, but the service was too slow.

Amazing food, and although busy the service was good. Our server informed us the kitchen was busy but we got all our food fairly quickly. Tried the fried cheese squares with yummy guava sauce, the nachos with carne asada and the wings! Definitely a must try.

It's pretty rare for a Food Truck to make it to Brick & Mortar status especially in Miami where you can be the hottest place one day & yesterdays news the next. I was genuinely happy to hear someone succesfully made the leap. I decided to give this place a try after hearing people talk about it & due to a fairly decent Yelp rep. We went on a Friday evening so there was a wait of about 30 mins which is completely understandable & expected when a place is popular. We gave our name to the nice hostess outside & took a seat outside until our name was called. About 25 mins later I heard my name so with empty stomachs & high hopes we went inside. The restaurant has a style of it's own but unfortunately we were seated in the one spot which set the tone for the rest of the evening. If you walk in to the right there are two booths up against the glass, they are super dark as they are the only spots void of any light & pretty far from anything. It almost leaves you feeling like you are an outsider within the restaurant. Our server came by & dropped off some menus & took our drink order. She told me they had Coke but later on I found on the menu that it's a special in house type soda with real sugar instead of HFCS which should be an awesome selling point worth mentioning. No harm done as it was pretty good when I could track my server down & actually get refills. We went with the Asian Pig Ribs app I believe they were called. 2 of them were fall off the bone great as described but one was super tough & overcooked. We mentioned this to our server (when she was around) & she sort of apologized but that was about it. We both ordered our main courses shortly after placing the appetizer order but for some reason the food was taking forever! I understand it's a busy evening but as we watched the other tables being served their dishes in a timely manner it seemed as if ours was forgotten. We couldn't get our servers attention as she was giving all of said attention to a party of 8 nearby who's food was served & completely eaten before ours even came out. Our server stopped by to tell us the app had been comped & the main course should be out any minute now... (15 mins later) we had reached our breaking point. We walked up to the bar counter & asked to speak to a manager & were given a real blah attitude with a lack of urgency. Just then, our server walks out with our food but it's way too late at this point we just want to pay our check, speak to the manager & leave. A manager did eventually come to speak to us & we voiced our reasons for being upset but he too wasn't really that interested. This is where our bad experience was redeemed. The Chef/Owner stepped out from the kitchen area to come see what happened. We explained to him how long we were waiting, how we barely ever saw our server, & he was shocked to hear the manager didn't stop by to apologize for the bad appetizer. He gave his sincere apologies & explained how the staff is going through some growing pains & that he is working on it. I voiced my unhappiness with the area we were sat in & he genuinely appeared to care about improving that section. I can understand his situation where he was always face to face with his customers in the food truck. Now, he is in the back cooking & has to trust his staff to give the level of customer service he would offer. He was very generous with us comping our food & offered us to come back & give his place another shot. He insisted we give the food a try so we took our orders to go. After eating them, we both agreed the food was flavorful & cooked with quality ingredients. I think this place deserves a second chance but I might just go with take out next time so I can avoid the staff until the owner can iron out the kinks in the level of service. What started off as a nice night went bad then was redeemed thanks to an owner who genuinely cares about giving his customers a great dining experience.

After arriving at the restaurant and placing our order we waited more than 45 minutes to have the food brought to the table. When speaking to the manager she advised that the reason for the delay was A: There was a "large" party (party of 8) and B: She has a small kitchen. Yet the restaurant was nowhere near full capacity.The staff looks lost and the manager extremely disrespectful. The food items are not adequately priced; truth be told the food is sub par. I give this restaurant two thumbs down and don't plan going back.

I saw the report that a local tv station gave on this guys and was impressed enough to make the drive from the beach. Yelped it and thanks to Gaby B. I took the chance and confirmed that they are worth it. Tuesday tacos is the best way to introduce yourself into this joint! I had the carnitas, Cabo Wabo fish, Chicken and had to settle for the veggie since they ran out of ribeye, but still delicious. Had the red Sangria, despite not having traditional fruits, it still was impressive enough for two glasses!!Finished it off with their signature balls to the walls dessert. I'm not a sweets person, especially when I had to only settle for four tacos and could have killed four more, but wow for this dessert!!! Oh yes Tuesday tacos are $2 ea. so will be heading back for the savings, cool fun environment. Staff and management were friends and attentive. Buen provecho!!!

I love this place, only been there twice, had the black and blue burger once and the burrito another time, loved it both times! The portions are huge!!! Almost forgot the nachos are fantastic! Only thing I didn't like my first time there was the di they had, I felt the music was way to loud I like it better when they have a chill laid back day.

Really Really enjpyed this place. Been waiting forever to pass by and try the burgers and tacos, and finally tried it yesterday. Saw the chef/owner greating and talking to guest and to burgerbeast's family. Looked real friendly and inviting. The restaurant design is decorated as if it should belong in the wynwood area with hanging lights and art painted on the walls. But so glad this is a Kendall gem. I went on Taco Tuesday $2 tacos. I wish I had room to try the mini burgers or an actual burger, but there is always next time. The tacos of chicken lime and carne asada were my favorite. My friend had the fish and said it was great (see pics). One of my favorite taco places now in Miami, if not my favorite! We started off with timba. YUMMMM I wish they served more, but anyways its fried queso blanco with guava sauce for those who don't know. So good and the texture and taste delish! As stated, we had the tacos which were devine! Also had their "award winning" sangria (few glasses) which was also great. And we ended with balls to the wall cake batter covered brownies with sugar powder and leche condesada dipping sauce. AMAZINGBALLS! Will definitely come back and try other menus items like the famous chimi burrito and award winning burgers. A little overpriced fr appetizers/burgers/and tacos but def try to go on a specials night like Tuesdays or Wednesdays (half off apps,wine,etc oh and pork sliders)

Holy Burrito Batman!! So, like many people, we saw the episode of DDD that featured Latin House and since we were going to be in Miami for the day, we knew this was the place we had to try for dinner. Many times you will see food on a show like this or even just a commercial and then you order at the restaurant only to find it looks or tastes nothing like you expected. LUCKILY, that was NOT the case with Latin House. We ordered the Chimi Burrito, the Pig Wings and the Original Burger. Each of them were equally delicious. The Chimi Burrito was ridiculously big! My husband, who can usually eat a small farm animal, had trouble finishing it. Of course that didn't stop us from diving into the Sweedos, which were like little Thai donuts, but with much more flavor. We had ours with ice cream, of course, which made them even more insanely good. Our waiter, who super friendly and helped us make decisions, recommended the "Balls to the Wall" which was the same dessert, only with little chocolate brownies inside. We were afraid that would just put us over the edge. All in all, fantastic food, really great service and nice atmosphere. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the location. But, truly worth the drive!!

Tried this place due to reviews and seeing on Diners Drive in & DivesArrivef at 5:15 PM ordered the special burgers. Burgers finally got to our tsble st 6:13PM barely warm, my burger didn't have the grilled onions or mushrooms that I ordered. Manager deducted the price of my burger, but that still doesn't rescue a horrible experience. I won't be back!!'

Awesome burgers but have to agree with everyone else horrible service. Oh...and don't bother ordering online to avoid waiting an hour for 2 burgers because when you get there you come to find out that they don't check for online orders incoming...hire people that focus on there job -_-

So far everything here is amazing. The lettuce wraps are the best in the world, carne asada and chicken ones yummy. The burgers are phenomenal. This place cooks with amazing flavor and the staff is great. Great lunch spot with a menu that has variety. Beware though the service is a little slow which is why the 4 stars instead of 5

Ivonne D.
By far one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The burgers are the best burgers you will ever have!! Its all in the flavor of the meat. Delicious!! The sangria is awesome too sometimes we buy it in a gallon to drink at home. The nachos and the fondue cheese appetizer is to die for. It's definently not the place to go on a diet but it's the best place for the most delicious burger you will ever have.

There is nothing i dont like about this place.. honestl.y, the Mad Love burger is one of the best buirgers ive ever had... their specials are on point - especially on Thursdays when they have the $3 sliders.. its a nice respite from the wallet drain of other local eating spots.. I honetsly have never tried a dish i didnt like.. there were a few service hiccups the first few times i visited (shiortly after opening) but those seem to have been fixed.

Food was really good, well presented as described. Only thing is that you will need to eat it so fast due to the AC blowing over 2k CFM's causing your food to get cold within minutes. Besides that it's good

Burgers were great but took an hour and 15 minutes to get them! Waiter kept saying "Customers don't understand that they're made to order and we get a little backed up during weekends." We don't want to hear that! Burgers were great, customer service and wait times with make me think twice about coming here again.

We used to be regulars back in the pre-baby days. We haven't been back in a while due to the constantly crappy service, particularly the eternal wait for food which doesn't really pair well when dining out with a little one. We decided to try our luck today during lunch and sadly, nothing has changed. We ordered my daughter's food the minute we sat down along with water. Her food came out pretty fast (praise the heavens!), however, the calamari appetizer took about 30 minutes. Side note: calamari appetizer was inedibly horrible. Skimpy, teeny pieces of calamari hidden in thick nuggets of super salty breading... It was pretty disgusting to be completely honest. After not finishing that disastrous joke of a dish we waited another 30 min (an hour total now) for a burrito and 4 measly tacos. It's not like I asked them to bake me a cake. An hour for this kind of dish is unacceptable. There were maybe 10 occupied tables in the whole place and plenty of staff standing around. I have no idea what these people are thinking but it's been what, 2 years since they have been open and they can't get their service game in order? Ridiculous. Get your sh*t together, Latin House. Stamping Guy Fieri's ugly ass face on your door and menus may bring the crowds in but having service that's as good as your food (minus the calamari) is what will keep people coming back.

This is my second visit. First visit was amazing and I brought the rest of the family this time. I ordered the American with the 3 cheese and mushrooms the first time. That is what had me coming back to try more. This visit I had the Original with lettuce and was about to revisit the American, when Jayson (waiter) suggested the Elvis (PB&J and bananas burger). I was a little worried at first but................. OMGoodness!!!!!!! Burgers are juicy, fries are amazing. Walked in and was seated immediately both times. Food is a little pricey but I would do it again because it is worth it. I like the 1/4 burger (slider-like) option because it affords me the ability to try more than one burger. Ask for Jayson when you go. Love him (very knowledgeable and attentive). Will be going back soon.

Alright I've eaten at this place since before they had a restaurant (food trucks) they have best chicken quesadillas & awesome muffin tops (sliders) if your in the mood for chicken or beef and you don't want to spend to much this is the place to be.. Oh the service is great and they also have TVs to watch the game.. It's a great place to go with your friends and family and have a good meal. Oh don't forget to try the nachos they're great

Alain M.
I love this place! Best and I do mean the BEST lettuce wraps I've ever had with Carne asada. Guy Fieri had this place on diners drives dives so you know it has to be good. I've heard the burgers are out of this world too even though I've never tried one. If you're in the area you can't go wrong stopping for lunch or dinner. The decor is very cool with artistic tattoo looking designs on the walls. Service is slow at least during lunch hours.

Over rated...DDD finally let me down! The service was horrible and not only did our food not come out together, it took way too long! The burrito everyone raves about is nothing special, it's more like an overstuffed empanada. You add sweet plantains to anything and it will taste good so I wasn't impressed. Also ordered a burger medium and it came out dry and they forgot the avocado that comes with it. I'd rather go to 5 Guys for a good burger than give this place another chance. hear the tacos are good but after my subpar experience I am certain to never try it as I have many better options where I can expect good service and an efficient kitchen where I won't have to watch my wife eat while I wait for my food. They also need to hire a designer to decorate. I was very excited to finally venture from Brickell to Kendall after watching DDD and was utterly disappointed.

Still looking for really good Mexican in this city, this place is pretty good but I'm going to keep looking. Had the sneaky nachos which had chorizo and they were pretty good. I also had a chimi burrito with ribeye, which was good but it sounded amazing and was just good so I was a little disappointed. Anyway its yummy but a bit on the pricey side for what you get.

Daniella S.
I've been to Latin House a total of four times now and my verdict is always the same - Slightly overpriced, mediocre service and good, not great, food. Your best bet is to go on a week day during happy hour. The place is pretty empty at this time, so you don't have to worry about the endless wait for your check and prices are a little more reasonable. Food wise, I definitely recommend the nachos because whatever protein you decide to add always comes out fresh off the grill, and their muffin top burgers are not only available with a variety of creative toppings, but are also the perfect size. The French comes with brie and honey, and is my personal favorite! Their fries are also worth trying.

I had several of my Broward friends ask if I had ever been to this place since it's been featured on the food network and other tv shows. I finally tried it and it was great. The only small disappointment was the waiter who wasn't very informed. We ordered a sangria and loved it. It seemed like it had guava so we asked the waiter but he didn't know nor did he inquire. There were a couple of other things we asked that he wasn't sure about either. It was not a big deal breaker since he was nice, but I just expected him to have a little more knowledge about the food. This place is definitely worth a try the food is SPECTACULAR!

Queso Fundido was amazing. And I tried their shrimp tacos - they were seriously delicious! The sauce, the batter... I wouldn't order anything else! So why the drop to three stars, you ask? The service. It's so slow! They really need to work on that. I was hoping that with time the service would improve, but we were just as dissatisfied as we were the first time we came here. It took like 20 minutes to get a side of fries. Seriously? My little one was about the have a meltdown! I also think the prices are a little steep. Other than that, though, the food is good. A little on the heavy side (couldn't eat here too often), but definitely tasty.

Driving past this restaurant, I thought I need to try it. Guy Fiery came and ate here. It must be good. Boy was I wrong. Hostess insisted that we wait at the bar. There were 8 booths open. I threatened to leave, and we got seated. Waiter came fast. We order two quarter pound burgers. It took 50 mins to get our food. The tangles were soggy and disgusting. I asked for fresh ones and the waiter made feel uncomfortable. Questioning my palette. Burger was cold and not juicy for medium. Over all I have had better. If Gordan Ramsey still had his show, this place would be visited and featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Head over to McDonalds. It is cheaper, faster, and tastier.

Tried going back to Latin House after about a year or so. After seeing them on DDD on Food Network I figured it was worth another shot. Latin House Grill did not disappoint. A little warning however, if you are on a diet or looking to eat healthy try avoiding this place. The temptation for the fattier and more delicious foods is rampant! To start we ordered as an appetizer the Pig Wings. They were delicious and seasoned well. And the meat fell right off the bone. I don't normally eat a lot of red meat but couldn't pass up the chance for one of their famous burgers. The best way to go is definitely the muffin top which allows you to select "mini" 1/4 burgers from their selection. I picked the Mexican and French. Both although very different in taste flavor profiles were delicious. The meat was seasoned well and cooked perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh. My boyfriend ordered the Chimi Burrito with the vaca frita. He loved it! The meat (which I had tried on my last visit on top of Nachos) was tender, seasoned well and went perfectly with the ingredients in the burrito. It was a large portion which he was able to take home and heat the next day. He said it was still delicious. For dessert we took the recommendations of other Yelpers and ordered the Balls to the Wall. While great in concept, the whole execution fell flat. The fried dough we burnt in certain places and the chocolate inside so hot you couldn't eat it right away. I also felt that because it was burnt and dry it should have brought more leche condensada on the side. Overall not a bad experience and definitely a place I will add more to the rotation on "cheat meal" days.

I have given this place two chances. Make that three if you count the one time I ordered take out. The first time, the service was slow and the food was average. It had just opened for business and the transition from food truck to restaurant has to be daunting. About two months later, I ordered take out. When I got home, the order was missing all the sides that come with it. Essentially, they forgot to give me half the food I paid for. A call to the manager yielded a promise to "make it up" to me next time if I reminded him. Today, its been over a year. Service is still horrible. There are plenty of employees but most seem to be running around aimlessly. Although there were seven empty tables, we were asked to wait because they did not have sufficient menus to meet the demand. At some point in time, two employees walked into each other resulting in the spillage of a glass of water all over a patron and its subsequent shattering as it hit the floor. The young man who was asked to clean the mess, watched the football game and listened to music through headphones as he attempted to mop the floor. (Note: It is not good business practice to allow employees to wear earphones while working in the service industry.) While our server was quite attentive, she was the exception. She, herself, seemed frustrated with the turn of events. As for the food, I have to agree with other reviews. There seems to be one key spice or ingredient that is used in most of the dishes; thus, the result is the same basic flavor regardless of what you order. And, while I am not positive, I have a suspicion that it contains lots of MSG. This review is not meant to disparage the restaurant but to state facts that may lead constructive changes.
Got the most expensive thing on the menu. burger beast 18.99 for 1 pound burger.If you cant even cook a burger to medium rare as i requested then your cook sucks nothing more to it. Mentioned it to the waiter he said sorry and thats that. They suck and the kitchen food sucks...

Honestly was very suprised, been here when they first opened and the food was much better. The burgers sounded much better in the menu then what they tasted. Ordered a desert and took about 1 1/2 to come out. Very disappointed, used to love their food truck

Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. Chips and guac were on point. My chimi burrito was huge, had it with the ribeye and it was excellent. Didn't have to wait longer either which was a huge plus.

LHG is located in a little shopping plaza on Sunset and 94th, right next to my 2nd love after Misha's cupcakes, Sweetness Bake Shop. So, if you come here, expect to have a very gluttonous dinner/dessert combo (unless, you're the kind of person who can say NO to cupcakes - I'm just not that strong willed.) Anywho, my friend suggested we come here after she saw it featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." I can dig that. Guy F. seems to know what he's talking about. He likes things with a lot of cheese on them, and so do I. He is trustworthy in my book. I ordered the chicken Taqueria Calle Tacos before they let me know that I could mix-n-match em', so I ended up with the chicken, carne asada, pulled pork and breaded fish. Each and every taco was very flavorful and topped with an awesome avocado cream sauce (seemed like a kind of avocado/garlic mayo - YUM). The servers were very attentive and there were a bunch of TV's to catch the Heat game on during dinner.

My boyfriend and I decided to come here because we were craving burgers. We had heard it was good and we knew food network had been there. We began our meal with red sangria... Which was very good!!! Then we moved on to have the queso app which our server suggested. After waiting at least 20mins it came out. It was not what we had expected at all. It was a little bit of ground chorizo covered in a thick blob of cheese. The cheese had no flavor and we couldn't even cut it with a knife it was so thick and solid. Finally we got three mini burgers the original, american and the western. This were less than mediocre coming from a place known for its burgers. The service was ok but we were past up multiple times by our sever to fill our water up. All in all I would not go back. It was quite underwhelming.

My favorite place to go eat and have a few drinks. The Elvis burger is my favorite. Perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly. And the sweet plantain sets it off. All their food is great. Chef M knows what he's doing. The biggest problem is the amount of money I spend since I always end up eating and drinking so much! Keep up the good work guys!

This restaurant actually deserves no stars , so disappointed with the service , came here with a party of 20 for my birthday , the hostess was very rude and asked us to leave . At the bar we asked to be served drinks while we wait and no one wanted to help us , This is very sad because the food in this restaurant is the best , but their customer service by the hostess was a nightmare . Our server was actually nice , the food was as always delicious . Overall I'm gonna think twice before visiting this restaurant again !

Second time I have been here and the service speed is terrible! This place needs to hire someone who knows how to run a restaurant. Food is good but the hour wait for my meal is crazy. Watched two tables that showed up 20 mins after I ordered get their food before we did. Sorry but no more of my business for Latin house.

I usually would have given this place a 4 stars because the food is remarkable. But the service isn't so great. And the guy manager (on two occasions) were not paying attention to our needs. 5 minutes before being greeted but the food was great !!!!!

The food here was pretty good. I like that you can order taco with different proteins to be able to try more variety. The food took a little longer than I would have liked. The waiter kept coming back to tell us it will be out shortly. My friend asked for a lemon for his water at least 3 times... The lemon never came.

Love this place and their nachos! They have amazing food and a great waiter named Steven Mandri--he's the nicest most attentive staff member, I definitely recommend asking to be sat in his section.

Joaquin R.
Food was okay. The Original Burger was okay as well as the Chimi Burrito. The Balls to the Walls Dessert was good. Pricing: The food was absolutely overpriced. My wife and I ordered two main dish and a dessert and it came out to $47. We didn't even order appetizers or drinks. Service: The server was great. However, the wait time for the food was horrendous. My wife and I sat down and ordered at 515pm. We didn't leave LHG until 640pm. I was shocked it took that long since we only ordered 3 menu items. Decor was nice If LHG truly wants to have success long term, they will need to solve their food pricing and the wait time for your food orders.

Straight fire! First time here. I had the Chimi burrito with fire shrimp. It was amazing! We also ordered the chicken Sneaky nachos for appetizer. These were also amazing. We tried several main events. They have a great selection of draft beers. Now for dessert, we had Balls to the wall, and we also had these little balls filled with condensed milk and cheese, they weren't the cheesecake bites, but I can't remember... These were also amazing!

What a Shame!!! Amazing food, amazingly BAD service! To start, we waited for over 30 minutes with empty tables everywhere. When we finally got seated, there were uncleared tables all around us...so gross...that stayed uncleared for most of our meal, while tons of people were waiting! Three different times servers brought food that wasn't ours to the table...three times...we thought we were getting punked. The floors are sticky and slippery at the same time (how is that possible?), and the tables are shorter than the booths....uh...what?? So wierd. To top it all off, it was Fathers Day, I was with my wife and daughters, and not one employee said Happy Fathers Day??!!?? The entire front of house staff were kids with absolutely no clue. If ever a restaurant needed a FOH Manager, its this one. Such a shame, the chef has chops, but theres just too many great eats in Miami (that actually care about service) to waste your time and money here. Great food, I mean, really great, but I will never go back.

Daniel R.
Wow what can i say, chimi burrito is the best burrito in miami, the ambiance is nice and service is great. Everything on the menu looks so good, my dads sangria was the bomb, the chicken and pork have a unique taste to it, really recommend for dinner, awesome experience and will be coming back

OMG is an understatement! Best burgers in town! The original burger with an egg on top was delish as so was the French burger. My little one had the chicken chuncks which were so yummy!

Aldo G.
My taste buds had forgotten just how good the food was at this place. I had the two sliders for the price of one burger. I choose to do the cuban and the traditional. Both were good but the Original was phenomenal. One of the best burgers I have ever had. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anybody else.

DISCLAIMER: when I wrote my last review for Latin House I was pregnant. So I may have been a little moodier than usual, BUT, I still stand by my sauce on a spoon issue. Anyway, this visit was just what I needed to bump them back up to the 5 stars I KNOW they deserve. Let me make one thing clear, the food here NEVER lacks anything. That being said, the sneaky nachos were DELICIOUS. The muffin tops, as per usual, were also DELICIOUS. They seem to have worked out the quirks on the service end, which is great. P.S. Once a stalker, always a stalker!

Not only was the food delish, the service was excellent at Latin House. We had the sneaky nachos with vaca frita. YUM! I had the Original Mad Love burger which had three cheeses, bacon and avocado-lime sauce...OMG. So good! I couldn't even finish it, it was huge! Decor was cool but I will say though, the place is a little pricey. Aside from that, no complaints.

Jessica P.
I would give them 4 stars but their service is terrible and the good prices have gone up like crazy!! I've been their a few times and I absolutely love their appetizer for quesadilla's and the chimiburrito! The lettuce tacos are amazing as well but the service their is horrible! They take for ever to sit you, then forever to attend you. I even tried pick up and there was one employee (I think she was even a manager) just on the computer. She didn't acknowledge me or even try to help when I said "excuse me" she just ignored me. I really felt like leaving but my food was paid for.

I've been here a few times for lunch with coworkers and I'd have to say this restaurant is completely overrated. The food is good but not great... I always order the skinny nachos with chicken but it's never consistent. Some times the condiments are not even so I end up with only nacho cheese, chips and some chicken the other time the portion was a lot smaller. The service here is not great. I can't say it's bad because there has been a time that I've had good service but for the most part the servers are uninterested in the customers. They take ages to take your order and are generally not pleasant. Once, I had a waiter just throw the menus on the table and walk away. I don't ever choose to come here... I'm usually dragged by a coworker. I'd probably be more inclined to come if the service was better.

First time, the food is good, the sangria of the chart, and the service was excellent, economical enough to make it a most visit. The only improvement I would suggest is the tables need replacement.

Nice new place for lunch. Sangria is a must! (It's award winning). Sneaky nachos were my favorite. Anything with vaca frita is amazing!!!! Service was on point!

LHG adore your food but the service has to improve :-( Hostess needs to do a better job at accommodating guests and servers don't seem to last which doesn't seem to be a good sign on the management. Service has been slower than I'd expect on numerous occasions but the food and sangria keep me coming back. Five stars when service changes :)

Jesse L.
Never fails. All visits to LHG are always excellent. Had the nachos with vaca frita. Deeeeeeelicious. Tried the Mad Love burger with avocados and it was awesome. I did notice that they have a bigger craft beer selection. Had 3 different kinds that were pretty good. As for desert. Its a must you try Balls to the Walls with condense milk. Yuuuuuuummy. Would defenitely recommend.

Nydia M.
After hearing about this place for about a year, I finally decided to give it a try. The biggest complaint i heard about Latin House is the slow service. I figured coming in on a Wednesday afternoon would help me avoid that problem...boy was I wrong! We ordered tacos since Wednesday is all - you - can - eat taco day for $12. I had 3 carnitas tacos and 3 of some other meat I can't remember right now. They were delicious! Very good flavor and texture. I could have had a dozen of each. Well, not really, but they were great. The problem? They took about an hour to arrive at our table while the restaurant was 95% empty. And then when someone at my table ordered another bunch of tacos, those were served in under 5 minutes. It made no sense. It feels like they make you wait on purpose. Problem is, people like me only wait like that once. Sorry, Latin House. Miami is full of restaurants with food just as good, but with much better service. I really hope they fix this HUGE problem before it's too late.

While vacationing in Miami I wanted to try the restaurant because of Guy Fieri's show and it was great! We all shared the sneaky nachos with crane asada and were licking our fingers clean! I had the chuchi bowl of rice which was full of flavor and spiciness! Everyone else with me got the chimi burritos with different proteins in it. A great feature of this place is that u can choose your meat/fish/shrimp that u want added to your dish. We then tried the balls to the wall dessert which was fried brownies in funnel cake. I would recommend everything we had and I would go back soon! Our waiter was excellent and made helpful suggestions!

We first went to Latin House because it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Our first time there was good - burgers were delicious and cooked well. We have been back there twice since and will not go again. The second and third visits, our burgers simply didn't taste as good and they were overcooked. The last visit, the servers broke one of our cardinal rules - they served the main course before we finished our appetizer. On top of that, my wife's burger, ordered medium rare, came out well done. A restaurant that prides itself on its burgers shouldn't make that mistake. Not worth it, especially if you don't live in Kendall.

Perfect burgers and Fries and comfortable tables and chairs:) and this is what i cant tell about the personnel! they deserve no stars at all. This is a reason I am giving three stars instead of four ;(

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Food is to die for! Such a fresh and great taste to every dish. As soon as you step foot inside you can tell you will be in for a treat. From the smell to the taste, everything was great. AND, our experience in the restaurant Saturday put the icing on the cake! Our server Jonathan was a very nice young man. He was very polite and patient yet very quick. My family and I were able to understand the menu thoroughly due to the time he took to explain the dishes and history of the restaurant. His suggestions were phenomenal, never did I have to ask for refill or napkin. Once a waitress, it is very rare for me to come across young people who care. If I could recommend my top 3 things about Latin House they would be: Chimmi burrito Red sangria Jonathan Again food was great. Service was great. Will be back soon.

This place has some of the best food in Miami. Every time I visit I order something different. I've made my way through a little over half the menu and everything so far has been above average or the best I've ever had. Balls to the Wall is the best dessert I've ever had vouched by a few friends on separate visits. Other stand out items is the Pig Wings and Burrito. Haven't had Lobster lollipops since the seem to be out every time I visit. I'm not happy about some the reviews some people give this place simply cause they weren't treated like Queen Elizabeth when they walked in. Fuck them..
(5)
Dianne T.
Went there because Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives went there. Decided to splurge and get the lobster appetizer. It was awful. Chewy, tasteless and way overpriced for four pieces of fried lobster. My friends however, had a great lunch with the Cuban burger and the grilled burrito. The service was excellent.

Julie M.
I am a fan of this place because their shrimp tacos are AH-MAZING! MY NOTES: The guacamole is always fresh. On a few occasions, the chips have been stale. Happy hour specials are your best bet, as most dishes are priced above $10.00, even appetizers. The burgers are delicious! The menu is VERY creative. The staff is friendly. They have a private area that you can rent.

Outstanding !! Another Guy Fieri food network joint yes he was here !! I see it on the tv show. I go try it out for myself but this place of the Hook !! Interesting decor , decent service, reasonable prices and food like no other place that I have been too before. We had for appetizer the Fire Roasted Shrimp very different and I had for my main course "The Chimi Burrito, as shown on Triple D... I have no idea how they make it but I could not stop eating and it was Huge but I still could not get enough !! All their plates is topped off with a little homemade lime avocado sauce, that just seems to put the icing on the cake. I will return to the Latin House Grill very soon to dive my taste buds into one of their Triple D off the hook Burgers. Don't forget to order a plate of their Tangled Love Fries you will get hooked !! This place is Hot and on Fire !!

All I have to say is it lived up to all the hype. The food was amazing...the nachos with vaca frita, the chimi burrito, topped off with balls to the wall. Well definitely be back. Owner was super welcoming, came by or take twice to ensure everything was going well. The server was great. To sum it up it was a great experience.

Where have you been all my life? So i guess this place was a food truck and they finally opened up a restaurant on Sunset. Let me start off by saying that the two times ive come here the restaurant has been busy. Great service and there hasnt really been a wait time or any issues the times that ive been here. The firecracker shrimp appetizer is delicious. Shrimp is a little on the spicy side but complemented very well with marinated lime shredded lettuce and carrots. I havent tried the burgers (will update when i do) but the chimi burrito is out of this world. Even the meat inside is marinated very well and cooked to perfection, its really big so split with a friend if you'd like!

Tiffanie M.
Let me start off by saying the food at Latin house is very good. Unfortunately, the service is awful. I went to Latin house when they first opened as I was a fan of the food truck. The food was very good, but it took my wife and I about an hour and a half to get our food. I overlooked the horrible service on this occasion because the restaurant had just opened and probably needed some time to iron out some issues. My husband and I returned two months later. Again, the food was good. Again we waited close to two hours after being seated to get our food. We hoped that it was just a bad day. Perhaps one...or four cooks called out sick that day. We returned again today with our ten month old son. We arrived at 7:45...we're seated at 8:15.. and we're finally served at 10:00. Our son had given up on the night long ago. On a separate note, this was after we ordered sweet potato peels which appetizer was served to another table that had been seated 10 minutes after our table of five. We were told twenty minutes later that there were no sweet potato peels left. The same table was served their meal prior to us. We were told by our waitress that the smaller tables are often served first. After complaining of the service, we were "gratiously" offered a complementary round of drinks. However, not the drinks we already ordered for the last two hours.. but a future round of drinks. Obviously we declined and left. This place could have a bright future if they ever get their act together; however, service like this will only serve to push even the most passionate of fans away. Three strikes was enough for us and I I know we aren't the only ones.

Ordered the burrito for pick-up. Took 55 minutes to fulfill the order and the restaurant was not even at half capacity. I mean, staff on their phones as customers wait to pick up their orders. The wait would have been tolerable if the burrito actually lived up to the description and contained all the ingredients stated within the menu. Very disappointed in both the service and product.

Very upset the fact it was advertised that Latin house grill was cooking up ostrich burgers from thurs - mon but when I asked the chef and waitress looked at me as if I was crazy. The only good thing there was the service the waitress gave me and tipped her greatly. Over all poor/ misleading advertisement not even the pines one had it. I will not be coming back here again anytime soon.

This place may be one of the most overrated restaurants in Miami. I mean, the burgers are delicious and they serve wine and everything, but the service leaves sooo much to be desired. I loved this place when it was a food truck and I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for a glass of water. So we waited 15 minutes for a glass of water (I hate that. Is it obvious?) and that was ok. I mean it sucks but whatever. I asked the waiter if they serve sliders, and he said yes. They do serve sliders (the Frita I had was amaze), but they serve ONE slider. Note to self and others reading this: order a 1/4 pound burger next time instead. The server was talking to a lady at the table next to us and instead of putting his carafe of water on that table, he plopped it right in the middle of ours and turned to help her. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's being attentive, but really? We're eating, bub. Sometimes, no matter how great the food is somewhere, if the service sucks, that's all you remember.

Alex C.
Let me start by saying... I've followed LHG for a long time now, dating back to when their food truck first started, and as much as it pains me to say it... It sucks now. No, not the food. The food is great... but there is no food that is above service and this place undoubtedly has the worst service in Miami. I wish I could say it's a one time thing but it's not. I have given them 4 different chances and have gone back every time, thinking that maybe they were having an off day. Every time i have gone back the service has been worse than the last time... and i know at least 10 people that have told me that they will not be going back because their service is so bad. And it's not just the kitchen, which is amazingly slow. It's everything. Every time I have gone and ordered any drink that isnt water, it's taken them 10-15 minutes to put the drink in a glass and bring it to me. I can handle waiting for food all day if I have a nice, cold beer in front of me but they cannot even make that happen. Really sad to see this place go to where it's gotten but it is what it is and i wont be going back. There's too much good food to be wasting time with this poorly run restaurant.

Visited the Pembroke Pines location, it's always pretty empty when I go but the food is always good and tastes fresh. Only complaint I have is that they took the chips off from the menu and replaced them with regular fries and I think their menu is a little over priced for the portions and type of food they serve.

Rinel Alexander L.
Best food around and if you pick the right time!! No waiting!! Try the mango habanero sauce! But it's not for the faint of heart!!! The burghers are absolutely amazing and the burrito also! And for the big boys... That tomahawk!!!!

Karla S.
My husband had been asking for a while to go to this place and I finally caved (I don't much care for burgers or overly unhealthy foods) Much to my surprise they had a healthy menu option, which I was thrilled about. I chose the $15 carne asada, which turned out to be the worst idea ever. It was 3 strips of pure rubber with some green leafs on the side. It was beyond awful. I asked if they had some hot sauce, or something I could dip it in.. and they said "sure! but we have to charge you extra for it" You serve me garbage and then you charge me for your mango-habanero sauce? I flat out hate this place. Unless you are looking for strictly fried and over the top unhealthy food, do not come here. Do NOT offer a healthy menu if you will massacre the whole thing. La Fogata does carne asada for significantly less and much better. Seriously, even Fritanga Monimbo's carne asada beats the crap out of that disgustingly charred flap of meat. Give me a break. My husband ate his burger just fine. However, he eats most burgers just fine. Says nothing about this atrocity of a restaurant. PS: Felt the need to add that this place is REALLY overpriced for the type of food it is and to make matters worse they charge you for anything and everything!!! If they could charge you for the air you breathe inside their establishment they would. For that money, I rather hit up Shake Shack.

AMAZING!!!!! Chimi burrito is to die for and the sheer size and portion is... Well it's huge. I can never eat it all, which is great because I can take the rest home to enjoy it again as leftovers ;) great service and speedy. They have a nice vibe on their menu of tex mex but with a flare. Try it.

Food is awesome! So much to chose from. There sauces are to die! I've gone a few times and sometimes service is good and others not so good. I always return for their balls to the wall desert! Thumbs up!

It's aite. No fries but more like house chips. Not bad. They're freshly made but nothing outstanding. Burger was supposed to be beef but tasted like chorizo. The grilled flatton was ok With decor and good flavor it feels like you're eating at a food truck. Not worth the restaurant prices or restaurant wait. Both times that we've been here we have been told that the kitchen was behind/running out of food. The place isn't large enough for that. Spend your money somewhere else. Best thing there is the chimi burrito. It's actually very good but not something id have regularly. Service isn't bad but it's not very professional. We were told by the hostess who looked like she was just hanging out that we'd wait 20-25. It was closer to an hour. There were several empty tables but they say the kitchen is too behind. The place is still being run like a food truck.

Food is very good. Burgers are delicious. Street tacos are real good. Services lacks though and get ready to wait if you go on a weekend.

I went to Latin House at lunch time on a Saturday, and left with mixed feelings about the place. When I walked in, I noticed a sign reading, "Wait to be seated." The restaurant was almost empty, so I expected to be seated right away. I waited, and waited.... There were three staff members fooling with something at the cash register, and I waited... fooled with my phone, and waited... finally someone walked over with a menu. After being seated, I ordered an iced tea and perused the menu. Some of the classics from the Latin House Grill food truck were on the menu, but since I was familiar with them I elected to order "new" items. I ordered Crab and Corn Chowder in a bread bowl, Pig Wings and a combination appetizer that was "[something] shrimp and chunks." The iced tea arrived, and I gave the waiter my order, "checked in" and sipped some tea. Oops! Evidently "iced tea" here meant some sweetened concoction. I wish I'd been so informed ahead of time. I read numerous complaints online about the wait time for food, and indeed read a notice in the restaurant that all food was cooked to order and that takes time, but my food came out in a reasonable time. In fact, I asked for the chowder to come first, which it did, but the other items piled up before I got far into the chowder. The first flavor note on the chowder was the cilantro sprinkled on top. It was creamy, spicy and tasty, but didn't have much crab or corn noticeable in it. There was perhap a total of two tablespoons of solids. Perhaps a novice in the kitchen did not ladle it from the bottom of the pot? The shrimp and "chunks" was next. The chunks were tidbits of very tender grilled steak, with some accents of grilled threads of onion. This is a pretty mild dish, so if there is a spice-phobe in the group, it would be a good choice. The shrimp were either steamed or lightly sauteed, and were covered with a sauce reminiscent of Chinese restaurant sweet and sour sauce. It was reddish with bits of what I think was sweet red pepper. Pleasant, but not exciting. Separating the shrimp and steak was some lightly pickled shredded cabbage, and some slices of carrot and onion that were also pickled. A clean, fresh foil to the sauced and meaty tastes. Next were the pig wings! I've been seeing this cut of pork showing up around town. It's a new promotion of the rear-leg shank. It's a single bone about 4-5 inches long. The Latin House take on this is very tender on the inside (perhaps braised first?), and very crispy on the outside and sauced with an asian-style sauce that mostly tastes like hoisin sauce. I liked them, and my wife LOVED them. One order is three of them on top of a mountain of the house "Tangled Potatos" which are deep-fried spiral-cut potatoes. The potatos stayed crispy for a long time, surprisingly. The two appetizers plus soup and iced tea came to $37.50 with tax. Add a tip, and you're at $45.00. This was more food than I wanted for lunch, because a big dinner was in the offing, so I asked the waiter to pack up the two wings and the leftover shrimp to go. What I got for that request was a styrofoam box dumped on the table. That was a first for me. Maneuvering stuff into the box without serving utensils was annoying. I'll return to try some other menu items, but I left annoyed at the delay to be seated in an empty house, the sequencing of the food, the take-home incident, and either stinginess in the chowder or incompetent serving of it. Not to mention the iced tea. Every one of these was, or might have been, due to the wait staff.

Delicious Cuban burger. Beef tastes high quality. Good beer selection and the coca cola is excellent

I totally retract what I had said about Latin House before. I went back because it's close and convenient. We were seated in the right hand side of the restaurant toward the back where they have nice booths, which is a nice little spot. This time, I ordered one Western muffin top and the lobster bisque. The burger was a lot better this time around. Just like I remembered it being from the food truck. It was juicy, flavorful and just excellent. Nothing like the experience I had last time. The tangled potatoes were good. Not my style usually but still very good. The lobster bisque was BOMB. It comes in a bread bowl and it was just great. We ended up getting dessert, too. We ordered the fried donuts with the condensed milk inside and they were great. One thing I loved was that we had been drinking beer and wine with our meal (Yeah, I had a beer and a soup. Don't judge me.) and when we ordered dessert, our server brought us all waters. That was really thoughtful and I wish it was done at more restaurants. The dessert was great. My friend ordered the Original burger and ate half of it, because that thing is the size of a plate and I took the other half home. Now, burgers and fries are the kind of thing that really don't keep very well as leftovers, but I microwaved it for a minute or 2 and that thing was DELICIOUS. I usually get the muffin tops because the burger is just so big, but it is so worth it. The cheeses, the bacon, the juicy meat. It might be one of the best burgers in Miami and this was a day old, refrigerated, and microwaved. I will definitely order that next time.

I just visited the restaurant for the first time for lunch today. Things were so delicious back when there was a food truck, but wowie wow. The place looks great! I can definitely see myself coming back, possibly for $2 tacos on Tuesdays with some friends...... and also because I want to try all the beers! I had the puffly flatton with cabo wabo fish. Grilled onions, mushrooms, melty CHEEEEEESE... Oh. mah. gah. The reason why I didn't write my review immediately after eating there is because I was basically comatose when I got home. Siesta to the max. I was so deliciously stuffed that I just HAD to take a nap. Oooh! As per the server's suggestion, I also had their guacamole. Delicious! It tasted so fresh! Hints of lime, lots of cilantro, chunks of tomato and onion.... it was honestly the best guac ever, and I thank the server endlessly for suggesting it as an appetizer. Man. I'm having flashbacks to the yumminess now. I may have to make this flatton-and-guac-induced nap a regular thing. Excellent, extremely friendly service with lots of spot-on suggestions.... I'll be back again and again and again, no doubt!
Went with a large group and was impressed by all the food. The servings are huge and packed with flavor. The Vaca frita nachos are certainly a must have and the beer selection was pretty strong. This is a worthy stop if you're hungry in the southwest Miami area.

Burger topped with egg? Yes please!!! It was super good. Balls to the walls dessert?? O.M.G!!! Seriously it's worth a visit to Latin House just for this dessert. The food does kind of take a while to come out but that's how you know it's fresh. The employees are a hit or miss. First time we had a female server...she was not very pleasant. The other time we came we had a male server...kinda chubby guy. He was great and super nice. Latin house..you rock.

SO EFFIN' GOOD! One of the most amazing burgers I have tried yet. I tried the MadLove Original Burger and talk about an orgasm in your mouth! Big, juicy, flavorful burger and that bacon- oh that bacon was do delicious! The combination of everything together made it something to be remembered and desired over and over again. Their Tangled Love Fries, super cute name but not the biggest fan. I think it's something to get used to...? I love to be able to dip my fries in ketchup or something other dip and with Tangled Love, you can't do that. It's a shame but it still adds something to the plating. The service was wonderful and even on a weekday lunch hour this place was pretty packed. Any single ladies out there? Do yourself a favor and come here for lunch hour. It seems that the fellas (In packs...think Jacob and his pack from Twilight... only I can't guarantee that level of hotness) like to get their burger on and I assume there's a whole lot more where that came from!

We came here on a Sunday because my boyfriend was craving a burger, although I am not your absolute burger lover, I decided to have a burger today. The menus is pretty detailed and we both got the 'Original Burger' we went with the half pound because the waiter advised that the quarter pound would've been the size of a kids burger. I asked the waiter who was very nice if it came with "Fries", and she said yes. Well, the burger was HUGE my boyfriend and I could've shared it, we only ate half. The burgers were delicious but too big, and too greasy for my choice. The burgers do not come with FRENCH FRIES, they come with potato chips and that was very disappointing because I love french fries, and I believe all good burgers should be paired with delicious fries. If you want a nice, huge, juicy burger then this is your place. I only gave 4 stars because I felt that I didn't get informed well enough on what I was getting and too big of a burger. All around pretty good and nice place.

I tried this place out with my wife and kids on a Saturday afternoon (8/22/15) for lunch and we literally could not wait to get out of there. The first thing that struck us about the menu were the elevated prices. I wouldn't call it expensive, but definitely more than you would expect for this type of food. Maybe the prices are OK for South Beach or Brickell, but this is the middle of Kendall. We ordered four soft drinks and the tortilla chips with pico (chopped tomatoes & onions) while we decided on our food and accepted the server's offer of melted cheese (extra charge). When they arrived, it was not only obvious that the chips had come out of a bag (surely a cheap, generic brand from a big-box store), but that they were beyond stale. The "cheese sauce" was disgusting and made the crap they give you with movie theater nachos seem like a delicacy. We quickly decided not to take a chance with any of the main dishes, especially at these prices, and politely let our server know what we thought and asked for our check. You'd think she would only charge us for the soft drinks and leave the chips off the bill (especially since we left the basket untouched, except for the two chips we tasted) but were instead presented with an $18 check. I dropped a $20 on the table and left, greatful that the experience didn't run up to more than $100, which would've been the case if we had ordered four full meals. I would definitely not recommend this place.

So you like comfort food from all over Latin America? This is your place! Great ambiance to hang with buddies and like I said its comfort food so prepare to pig out. On my recent visits I've had the nachos to start and later the original burger. These two items definitely sent me feeling 20 lbs heavier but well worth it. lol Some folks have room for dessert, if so the Timba is absolutely delicious (a must!) Interesting menu lineup, great concept hope this place sticks around for a long time.

I gotta say, this place is the best if you have no eaten anything all day. The portions are gigantic! Wasnt too happy with the chimi burrito since it just was over stuffed with soo much ingredients that i couldnt really enjoy the flavor for what it worth..its almost like "too much" food to the point that it grosses you out a bit. Ill have to try something else next time since this place does offer a variety of foods. On a good note, the Calamari was great! Perfect portion for 2 people and the taste was delicious. Loved the 2 homemade sauces that came with it. Be prepared to wait since there is limited number of seating and the food also takes a while since everything is made from scratch.

The good: Ordered the Muffin Top 1/4 burgers all burgers were delicious , the Frita was the $&@! And best we tried, the Mexican was , we also got the western and the champ which were good as well, everything we was great. Our server was great, not complaints anywhere. Can't wait to come back The bad: I got too full too quickly and couldn't keep eating

Been here so many times might as well tell you why I've been here so many times. There's a reason Latin House won last year's Burger Brawl. I always order the French burger. It brings melted Brie cheese, sliced almonds, and organic honey. One time I ordered the quarter pounder because I was watching my weight but it was the biggest mistake of my life and I've made up for it by now. At first I wasn't a fan of the chips for fries but eventually they grew on me and now I don't leave a single one behind.

came here because of a friends birthday and probably would have never ever found it or decided to stop by if it was not for that. They gave the table some nachos that were very very good, but the burrito we ordered looked good on the menu but in reality, it really needed some vegetables, actually every plate really needed some greens or reds or something fresh because everything was quite overpowered by salty and fried flavors. You just get that feeling like you consumed really fatty stuff and i personally don like that feeling. The service was alright and they kind of rushed us out at the end. so meh

I have been wanting go eat here ever since I moved into the neighborhood and wow is this place absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 3pm on a weekday so it was pretty empty. Our server, Blaze, was really friendly and helpful when explaining the menu, he really knew his stuff. My bf went for the chimi burrito which had so much stuff but all I remember is seeing sweet plantains in there! So yummy and well made. I got the Puffy Flatton which was like an XL Chalupa but way better tasting with fresher ingredients. He had vaca frita in his meal and I had carnitas and both were cooked to perfection. The prices are fine for what you're getting, a delicious and well crafted meal! My bf is difficult when it comes to leaving servers a tip but he was more than generous this time around, such excellent service! We both left stuffed and will definitely return.

This restaurant is confused. It doesn't know if it's Mexican, American, Caribbean, or what. I wish they'd pick one and do it well, instead of trying to do them all and failing miserably. Whatever you do don't get anything with cheese. There's a queso fundido that hardens 5 minutes after it arrives at the table, looking like something I'd use to plug a flat tire. The only way you can get at the cheese rubber is by putting your tortilla chip through a one inch layer of grease floating on the top like an ominous warning of what's about to happen to your intestines. My husband always gets the burgers, and having tried them I can confidently say that there are many other tastier burgers in South Florida. So I order some chicken tacos thinking that it's simple enough. Again, the cheese. It glued all the chicken together to make a mass of chicken that was inedible. The service is great, atmosphere lively with the street art and graffiti murals painted everywhere. Also not that loud, which I appreciate. I really don't see what the big deal is about this restaurant. There are better places to eat and while it's convenient I will avoid it in the future.

I LOVE the food here, BUT... The hostess at the door will tell you that its a 45 minute wait when its actually more lime 20mins. And then when you get inside yoi notice a ridiculous amount of empty booths! They tell you that they make you wait outside because the kitchen is backed up. Honestly...as a paying customer who thoroughly enjoys rhe food here, I would much rather wait the 20-45mins INDOORS! Its summertime in Florida. Mosquitos and heat do not do not make for a happy customers. I still LOVE the food tho!!

One of those nicest place here in Miami that serves great great food. The one that appealed to me the most was the Queso Fondue. The taste was one of the kind, I've never tried anything like this before. And I am very surprised that I like the taste of it after the first bite. They also got massively good tasting Elvis Burgers, one of the most tasty burger that I had in my life. This is a burger that you can only have here in Miami so I would never miss this one if I were you. Great fun place. Will dine again.

This place has been open for about a year, and they already won The Burger Brawl !!!!! ***Beating top restaurants like Swine OTC Pincho Factory blah blah blah!!!! That is an incredible feat in itself ! ! ! Anyways, I came here for dinner with a friend yesterday and had one of their burgers (not sure of the name-- it was the one that won the Burger Brawl) it had crystallized jalapenos on it and was meaty-- completely delicious. It could have been more savory, but the combination of topping was delicious. Aside from this, it came with a side of French fries that were shaped like ribbons, and although they could have had more crunch, the silky texture of it was divine. Next time I come here (and yes, I am planning my next visit) I will order a burger. You can get two 1/4 pound patties for the price of 1/2 burger. I heard the Elvis is pretty good, although I am not sure about the peanut butter and jelly toppings. Can't wait till my next visit. Thank you servers for your hospitality!

Pack your patience. You'll need a ton of it. For once, I did not Yelp the reviews beforehand. My kid invited me, and I was not about to say no to free food! We arrived at about 2:30pm for lunch. After a short wait, we were seated at a picnic style table where the waiting area usually is. No back support is not good. We noticed an empty booth and asked if we could move. As we are moving, we notice that there were 3 other booths available. Note, our original table was removed and set up as a waiting area again. The hostess was friendly and our server seemed nice enough. Our drinks were brought out promptly and we placed our order. Then the wait started. We must have waited for a good 45 minutes for our appetizer, if not more. Our entrees arrived a little later. The food was good. Everything we had was tasty and well prepared. I really like their fries. The sangria is really nice too. My husband really enjoyed the guava ketchup. No complaints on the food whatsoever. But that is just part of the dining experience. We made the mistake of ordering dessert. We ordered the Balls to the Wall with ice cream. Actually, we ordered just one ball. Ladies & gentlemen, our one fried ball took 40 minutes to get to our table. And only because I had to get up and ask about it. The excuse given by the server was that the food runner was looking for the table at the entrance. Well, um. If the table is not there, shouldn't they ask the server who it belongs to? And shouldn't the server have checked back on us at some point in those 40 minutes? Plus the rest of our food got to our table. Seriously,I could have walked over to Sweetness and grabbed some dessert there. We placed our payment down and played the waiting game again. We finally walked out the door at 5:55 PM. Prices are a bit on the high side for the most part. Nothing too unreasonable, but still. $14 for a vaca frita chimi with a tiny bit of fries on top for decoration. I can get a full on vaca frita steak with rice, beans and fries for about $10. But again, not too unreasonable. Our total came out to $72 for 1 cheese dip appetizer, 2 chimis, one burger, one beer, one sangria, one soda and one ball with ice cream. We totally understand that it is not fast food. We know that it is prepared when ordered. But I have yet to sit and wait that long in a casual restaurant. I don't think I ever have, actually. Even at high end restaurants. And we eat out a lot. One other nit pick note to make. They calculate their suggested tips on the total amount including taxes. Although we usually do tip on the full amount, that is not customary. So if I ever get a hankering for the chimi, I will call ahead and pick up. That is, if they offer take out. But I do no foresee myself dining in any time soon.

Very nice place to come eat. Was a bit disappointed in the tacos. I saw them on TV actually and thought i'd try it while I was down here but not all that great, honestly. Other then that, the service was excellent.

Honestly, the service was okay. Nothing spectacular. BUT THE FOOD WAS SO YUMMY!!!!!! I had nachos and the burrito. Nachos were okay. But that burrito ...oh my god was so delicious. I was so full but my taste buds did not care at all! I ate the whole HUGE burrito. 5/5 for the burrito. I wish I tried the desserts which were very tempting to order.

The food was fine. The reason behind the 2 stars was the wait time. Our party waited 30 minutes when clearly seating was not a problem even though it was Mother's Day. The restaurant was half empty with over 15 booths available however we were not seated. Service took even longer. Even after bringing it to the attention of an employee we still had to wait... And wait... And wait. The restaurant was not understaffed either. There was no logical explanation for the lack of timely service in being seated and served. We were a party of 5 adults and 4 small children who were not having the waiting after hour two of sitting down and waiting at the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and extremely apologetic. Probably the only employee on the clock that actually cared to work. We arrived at 6:30 pm - seated at 7pm and left the restaurant at 9:25. NEVER AGAIN.

We went here back in December after visiting family . I saw this restaurant on Diners drive in and dives with Guy Fieri. I asked the waitress what he ate when he video taped the show here. She told us 2 entrees. One is no longer on menu. My wife tried the one that is on menu and I tried something else. The restaurant only had 4 other patrons in it. So I was afraid of that when I saw that there wasn't many people eating there. That should have been the first clue to get up and leave. We decided to give it a try anyway. Big mistake. Food was horrible. Don't waste your money eating here. Very disappointed

Back in 2010 I had given LHG a 5 star review. That was for the food truck, not the restaurant. This restaurant is around the corner from my house, so I have been to it numerous times. Not only because of its convenient location, but because for the most part (what I order) is usually always good. I can't say the same for the service. 9 out of 10 times the service sucks ass. What should be a 1-1.5 hour dinner turns into a 2.5-3 hour dinner because the server disappears, or things come out wrong.. forget about drink refills. The tacos, spicy carrots and mango habanero sauce are addictive though, so even still I would return, and of course the balls to the wall desert. But come on, how could you possibly mess up a deep fried brownie topped with ice cream? ..you cant. As of lately they started changing the topping from my beloved carnitas tacos from what they used to put on them (coleslaw, tomatoes, sour cream & guacamole) to just onions and cilantro. - So that sucks. Also, the place is looking dirtier and less clean every time I return. I had a bite of 1/2 a Mad love burger that my cousin didnt want to eat and the meat was so soggy and mushy, I didnt take another bite -- and that should say something because I LOVE burgers (and have no problem taking one to the face). The "pig wings" i tried were not good at all either. In conclusion my last visit which was this tuesday left a bad taste in my mouth (literally), and like usual the service sucked too. I don't think I will be back for a while.

We came here last night, the day after Halloween. We were told there was a 20-25 minute wait which we though was reasonable so we decided to wait. After 30 minutes I went to the hostess to ask how much longer it would be and she told us another 15 minutes. 25 minutes after that we were finally seated. So we waited about 50-55 minutes just to be seated. Then we ordered our food.....the food took about another 45 minutes before it came out. Besides the awful service they were out of so many items that we wanted to order (including beer and food). The food was good, but was not worth the nearly two hour wait. Had I not been with friends I hadn't seen in a while, I easily would have left. The service is poor and I would suggest not going on a busy night, as you will probably easily wait an hour (and more for food).

I went there with my Dad and my 7 year old twins. It took a while for the waitress to get to us, they were obviously understaffed. Later she confessed to us that someone had called in sick and they had "thrown a bunch of tables at her". I ordered the Queso Fondue and was told that they oven they use for that appetizer was broken. I decided to pass on the appetizer. I ordered my kids burgers from the kids menu. My son likes his with cheese, ketchup and mustard. The waitress told me they didn't have mustard. I asked if they ran out and she said that it's because their chef is "very particular" about what goes on their burgers. My answer was that I am too. I would have just left if it wasn't for the fact I was with my father. I understand if Mr. Chef doesn't like the idea of people putting certain condiments on his works of "art" but we're talking about a kids burger and it's a hamburger joint. I ordered the Bulgarian burger, whose name is terrible, but was actually very, very delicious. The red sangria was also very tasty. For dessert I ordered the "Timba" which is described as queso blanco injected with Guava. When it came it was chunks of queso blanco which had been fried to the point they were dry and the guava marmalade came in a little ramekin on the side. The sweetness of the guava couldn't overpower the saltiness of the cheese. Not a good dessert at all. So in sum, 1 star for the dictator chef who doesn't stock mustard. 1 star for having a broken oven. Waitress was nice and apologetic as was the busboy, so they bring up the score a bit. Burger was 4 stars. Dessert was terrible. If you like a big burger with some different ingredients give them a try. Don't expect fast service or go there if you are with picky eaters.

Food is ok but it's a bit overpriced in my opinion. They don't offer regular fries, they just offer some greasy boring thin fries that don't really taste like much. The appetizers are good just be careful what order because the more expensive the appetizer the less food you get. As far as dessert make sure to stop by sweetness bake shop on your way out.

Don't believe the bad-mouthing. I've been to this place over 50 times since they converted the truck to a full-blown restaurant a few years ago. (Not the easiest of tasks.) And in those fifty visits I have experienced what the Yelp regulars refer to as "bad service" maybe once or twice, an average amount for any service establishment. That leaves only one explanation for why this place gets a bad rep for the quality of its service: perpetuation of "hate". The early reviews that came in during the first few weeks, when they were a work-in-progress, may have been authentic. But what you see now are customers, regular "yelpers", who come in and expect bad service. When you are expecting something due to third-party predisposition, you will see it at every step of the way. Could the server have taken your order a bit faster? Could the busboy have refilled your water with better timing? Perhaps. But this happens at every restaurant, and it is only because of their perception and willingness to join in on the tune of negative reviews that they echo the trash talk. It is easier to say something nasty than to say something nice. When you dine at Latin House Burger & Taco Bar, walk in with an open mind. Expect to be impressed by the food, which is not ready-made. Give the staff a chance, because it's worth the wait. As for the food... The burgers: With over ten different types of burgers, ranging from the Original Mad Love with its three different cuts of beef and three cheeses, to the Juicy Bella, a chorizo stuffed affair, and even to the Elvis, a PB&J + banana burger, there's something for everyone, including a premium version of the regular, ordinary cheeseburger. The chimi: The last time I went to LHG (this is what the truck era people call it), I was accompanying a first-timer. As he read through the menu, he stumbled upon the chimi burrito. He repeated the quote printed on the menu to me, "this is a life-changer." Without hesitation he ordered the burrito and when it arrived, what confronted him was a large, fried burrito filled with their famous yellow chuchi rice, three cheeses, plantains, and meat topped with pico, mexican crema and avocado-lime sauce. I then looked down at my plate to sort out my meal, and a few minutes later when I looked back up to check what his reaction was... it was gone. Addictive personalities should stay far, far away from LHG. The balls to the wall: Remember when you were a kid and would hear the ice-cream truck pass within a 1-mile radius of your house? And you could still hear it because as a child your ears were tuned to pick up their very special frequency, and you would flip out? The balls to the wall dessert summons that feeling every time the server walks out of the kitchen with them in hand. Then you realize it's too much, and too good. But you regret nothing. Tacos, nachos, and everything else: Around a dozen protein options (including veggie soy) are available for a number of dishes made with their own hybrid style of Latin flavoring. To this day I've had almost every single option on the menu, and am yet to be disappointed. The reality is I haven't tried many of the soups and salads on the menu, because I can never resist ordering one of the aforementioned items first. 5/5 stars. All the way. Don't listen to the angry mob.

This restaurant has ok food but they have a major logistical problem. We waited over an hour for a table. That didn't really upset is though, because we were a large group. Once we sat down it took a long time for our server to come around. We ordered right away. We waited another hour and 15 minutes to get our food. At one point we looked around and only 1 table in the whole place had food on it. Something is not going right in that kitchen. For some reason our server just wasn't coming around much either to see about drinks and appetizers. I had the chimi burrito and once it came it was actually really really good. I enjoyed the different flavors of the rice, maduros, and the ribeye meat. Everyone else at my table had burgers. They all said they were just average. The balls to the walls dessert was excellent though. Yummy. I just wish they put more thought into getting people sat and getting the food out to them. I would like to try this place again to see if they can get this fixed because my entree was actually great.

I have been hearing great things about LatinHouseGrill and had been looking forward to trying it. We had tried to come here once before as a family but the wait was too long which reinforced in our mind how great it must be. We were seated as soon as we arrived around 7:15pm. The restaurant was full but still several tables available. The football game was on so were immediately accommodated when my husband asked to be switched to a booth where he had the perfect view of one of the many big screen tvs. The hostess asked us to be patient with our server since she had just been slammed with three tables all at once. But she quickly came and took our order. Our appetizer, two cups of lobster bisque arrived quickly and were perfect. Not to thick, just the right amount of cream and sherry. After awhile my husband started complaining about how long the food was taking. Our dinner arrived 40 minutes after we ordered it. Not at all what we expected after we had so quickly received our appetizers. Although the dinner did not lack in taste, as a matter of fact it was quite tasty, it was not as described in the menu. I ordered the taco lettuce wraps which claim to have hard, crisp lettuce. What I got were four wilted lettuce leaves with my taco fixings on top. I had to cut through the wilted lettuce unlike any other lettuce wrap I've ever had which you are able to hold in your hand like a taco. My husband's quarter pound burger was a slider. When the server saw my husbands shocked face she stated "I told you the quarter pound burger was small and the half pound burger was huge." She never stated any such thing....not to us anyhow. We were so disillusioned we didn't stay to try any of the delicious sounding desserts.

I've been here three times. The chimis were really delicious. Depending on who is working, there are different sauces available. Staff is always friendly, despite the fact they work in a people oven. I tried the muffin tops during the Wynwood Art Walk and frankly, was disappointed. It didn't live up to my previous food experiences. If I go back and it's great, I'll upgrade to a five. Otherwise, for lack of consistency a three and I will continue trying other food trucks. The food is not as cheap as you'd expect from a food truck, but they seem to use really good quality ingredients. And the other food trucks I've tried have had the same price ranges.

I've been driving by this place for probably over a year and the name had always caught my attention, who doesn't love burgers, tacos, and a bar, LOL. My wife met me and the kids when she got off of work on a Thursday evening. Out of pure coincidence we found out after we sat down, Kids eat free all Summer!!!! That's great for me b/c we have 3 kids!!! The two little one had a chicken rice bowl and a steak rice bowl, which came with their homemade onion fries. Zak and Vivi loved their food and ate it all! Gaby had the kids tacos, one steak and one chicken. After we got the kids orders in, we ordered as an appetized their pico de gallo. It was delicious and very very fresh! Highly recommended. Oh I think I forget to mention they had $2 Dos Equis and Heineken's........ The Mrs. ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (4 tacos) 2 carne asada, 1 chicken, 1 vaca frita. She loved them, I took a bite of the Carne Asada and the the vaca frita and they were great! I ordered the "Mad Love" burger, a 1/2 lb burger with all the fixins!!!! The waitress asked if I wanted a fried egg on it and I asked her if it's worth it and her response was, "Go big or Go home". So I had to man up and get it with the egg. This was the first time I've had a fried egg on a burger and i'm a changed man. The burger had maple glazed bacon and cheese, the egg brought it to the next level. I have been dreaming about this burger!!!!!

Shame about this place. Great product but the service is a bit suspect. I've tried the food from back when they were, not even a food truck, but a small trailer in tow. Excellent burgers and fries. Like I said: great product. I'd never gone to the brick-and-mortar but decided to go on a Friday. They told my party (of 3) the wait was gonna be 30-45 minutes. Okay I get it... It's a Friday. Though there were seats outside, and the hostess said inside and outside: still 30-45. Fine. We go inside in the place to get a drink at the bar, and there's even tables open. With a full staff working. However I saw a bunch of servers kind of twiddling their thumbs. Also, our bartender, who must've never poured a beer in his life had no idea what beers were available. Kinda wonky. It had been 25 minutes at the bar, and nothing yet. There were 3 tables open. Very confusing. Me and my party just decided to leave, but before we left I wanted to ask what was up. I asked the hostess, hey, how much longer because I clearly see tables open? She said they just got a party of 14 show up. Bush league, in my opinion. I've seen restaurants deal with more and still function normally. The place doesn't stop for that, especially when you have servers chillin' by the bar. Unacceptable, and kind of a lame excuse. Hope the service/management gets better than that.

We both had the four tacos meal. I had mine with shrimp and my boyfriend had two with steak and two with carnitas. These were seriously the best tacos I've ever had and there were so many items on the menu I wanted to try!! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing from the chips to sliders to tacos. Don't miss this place. We'd be regulars if we lived here!

Great place in south Miami. Loved. Gray service and great food and great craft. Try the masitas with grilled mahi mahi or original burger. Super good. Pair with a nice drink special which they have everyday or a nice craft beer (like a funky budda Floridian). Great place to try. All good here.

We had seen the TV segments a few times, and finally made it out there! Fantastic. We had the small nacho platter with the carne asada and it was great. The lime avocado sauce and pico on top of the rainbow tortilla chips- finger licking good. It was huge for a small platter. Meals: Burger, Lettuce Tacos, MadLove wings and chicken kids tacos. ALL of it was good. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chef. We were too full for desert so we will be going back for that and dying to try the frita. The server was very attentive and really knew his menu. The food takes a little bit to come out but not a long crazy wait, and they cook to order so it's fresh. I can honestly say the portions were huge and sooo good.

I heard a lot of good things about this place from family and friends and decided to finally come and try it. I have to day I am a burger joint owner so I have become very critical with the places I visit who serve burgers. I have to say that after trying the mad love burger I have become a new fan. My wife had the chimi burrito which was awesome as well. I will recommend this place to all my friends and will continue to come and try new thing.

Went to the new restaurant for lunch time. They were pretty busy but it's not the best place for that 1hr lunch. Parking lot was a big pain, there wasn't enough spots for everyone. I witnessed a customer back up into another customers car in the parking lot. I had to drive around a few times to park. Service was good at first and everyone was tentative except my actual waiter. I waited 20min for my check, and noticed the party at the table next to me also had the same problem. Prices are pretty steep at $23 for one person w/ an app. The food was good at least. I suggest a lunch menu that won't take so long and can make this a daily lunch destination. A lot of potential, just got to work out the kinks and the bad apples.

Love this place! I loved their food truck and now I love the restaurant. I go pretty often and the food is always so good! My favorites are the French mad love burgers and the tacos! My boyfriend loves the lobster bisque and the chiming burrito. The staff is very nice and I always have a good experience. I highly recommend this place.

Review #400!! Going back to Miami for this one... Absolutely Loved this place! Food truck favorites right in Kendall! Latin House is a food truck that has now developed their own brick and mortar right in the heart of Kendall on Sunset. The menu includes all your favorite food truck staples like burgers and tacos but with a latin twist. The menu also includes various other items from various other cuisines. The restaurant is a modern style place that is really nice and has a huge bar with TV's everywhere as well. The service is stellar when I was there, but there really wasn't many people there around 4 in the afternoon. The place seems to always be busy when I'm driving by around night time, so be ready to wait. We wanted to try a variety of things, so we skipped out on getting the Mad Love Burger and went about ordering a variety of different sliders and tacos. We ordered 4 different International muffin tops (which are mini versions of the Mad Love burger), the American, Western, Bulgarian, and Cuban. We also ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (order of 4) and you're given the choice of choosing 4 different options. Sounds great. Let's get 2 orders of those (8 in total). We ordered a combination of Fire House Shrimp, Ribeye Steak, Carne Asada, Calamari, and Cabo Wabo (fish). The International Muffin Tops (the burgers) were incredible. I loved every hint of distinction stemming from the different burgers. The American burger is your typical burger coming with Maple smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an avocado lime sauce. The most basic if you're looking to keep it simple. The Western Burger antes it up a bit with Pepperjack Cheese and a Large Fried Onion Ring. The BBQ sauce on top makes it another favorite amongst people, but I really enjoyed the more unique ones. Like the Cuban, which had Guaya marmalade and Queso Blanco. It was a wonderful bite because it seemed as though two different "patties" of flavors were tasted and the guaya and cheese were great. The Bulgarian came with Jalapeno Havarti Cheese with french fried onions. The Havarti Cheese is a very creamy slice of cheese and worked as a glue for the fried onions and burger as well. Each one was good and worth a shot. The tacos were even better though, in my opinion. The Fire House Shrimp had to be one of the best tacos I've had in a long time. The shrimp were massive!! I was expecting small shrimp and probably would have been satisfied with such...but not at Latin House. They really impress with how large the shrimp was. They're flash fried and tossed with Thai chili sauce which was more sweet than spicy, but equally incredible. The Cabo Wabo was great too! The fish was real crispy and clean and made for a wonderful bite. The Calamari taco was ok. Nothing spectacular, while the Ribeye steak was just alright as well. I was hoping for more of a different taste than others, but it was still decent enough. The carne asada was very good but nothing compares to those Fire House Shrimp Tacos. Wonderful place to go if you haven't yet. The place it occupies used to be a sushi place and the decor kind of looks like that. Regardless, the food is wonderful, and the service (during non-peak hours) was stellar. Waitress understood our gluttonous needs and attended to them well. Definitely worth multiple visits.

5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. not even close to 5 stars, but not the worst on the planet, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and I must say it was amazing. The music was not loud and the atmosphere was great (contrary to what I've read in other reviews). We had a male waiter who came around very often and was very friendly. This place has a full bar with a very large variety of different beers, which is nice since we don't have many places like that around this area. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Tangled Love as an appetizer and the Chimi Burrito and the Masita for lunch. The Masita seemed on the healthier side than the burrito, but was still very good. The Chimi Burrito was definitely my favorite thing we ordered. We will definitely be visiting this place again, but maybe for dinner with a few friends. Overall, the service was great, food was out of this world, and atmosphere was cool and enjoyable!

We visited Latin House a couple times right when they opened and despite some opening week glitches, the food was good enough and the employees all so nice, that we've kept coming back. I'm happy we have because they've found their footing, fixed the problems they had with the food taking forever, and everyone really knows what they're doing now. I feel like the appetizers are a little over-priced, but they are all good. I've tried different burgers - the original, the cuban, the french - all delicious. The fries are amazing. The veggie protein option for the Mexican dishes is really good and can fool a carnivore. My absolute favorite thing is the chimi burrito though and it's big enough to split between two people. Also great is their beer selection. I love places that serve out-of-the-ordinary brews. There's a table for domino and I've heard they started doing karaoke on Thursdays!

We went for Cinco De Mayo which was nice and different from the crowded streets of Brickell & South Miami, the food was good and they had beer specials. The $2 tacos are a bit misleading considering they come in sets of 4 (you can mix and match the meats) so in reality they ar $8 not $2. But they are good. We also had the nachos which were very tasty. I wouldn't mind coming back.

Love this place! I have tried the mad love burger, nachos (appetizer), chimi (fried), bowl of rice with chicken and ribeye, tacos, and carne asada dish with rice and maduros. I have also tried the flatton, and not a big fan. The wait staff (most) should be swapped around. Not all 5 stars due to mediocre service, sneaky wording on "nachos with carne asada?" When it is $2 extra and it just catch me off guard because at first I said ribeye, and extra charge (with zero notice) on the extra garlic aioli sauce that came with the madlove burger.

Lows:... It's slow. It's pricey for what you get. It's slow. The tables wobble. It's slow. The bench seats slide instead of staying put. It's slow. The music is way too loud and annoying. Highs:...( There really isn't a high per se ). The burger had a good taste, but not compared to the competition. The fries are spiral cut. Some may enjoy that, for the sake of something different. I think the spiral shape means a sort of flat, tongue-adhering shape that takes away the sensation of something crispy. Highs and lows aside, clearly the conversation topic about the place was the TIME it took for everything. It's a good thing we arrived at this place sooner than we had planned. We were lucky to be seated quickly. Others that arrived after us were asked to wait even though tables were empty. It became obvious why they were told to wait. The kitchen can't keep up with even a sparsely populated dining room. After ordering and getting drinks, tens upon tens of minutes will go by. You'll look at the bar, you'll look at other guests waiting to be seated. You'll look at the poor folks waiting to be seated. You'll hope and wish that someone would turn down the music to something more condusive to a nice time at a restaurant. You'll get hungrier by the second wondering if your food was even started. Is the cook on break? Did some staff not show up to work? Are they trying to be slow to make the room seem more full? Should we keep on waiting? Should we ask the waiter how much longer? It's hard to have a nice time at this place. I won't give it a 1 because the food isn't horrible, but definitely no more than 2.

amazing food, creative/original menu, great decor, great beer selection with a bunch of rare beers (UFO, Brooklyn Lager, etc), great presentation with the food, amazing tasting food, super clean, super friendly staff, the bartender let me sample some of the rare beers. I eat out everyday and its really hard for a restaurant to really impress me, I finally found a place which truly blew me away! I'll be a customer for life!!! Thank you Michell for opening something different yet so amazing from everyone else!

I ordered something that I had saw on the show Eat Street I believe, and I was not impressed at all. The menu seems very confusing as you have to "add" meat into your dish for extra money. They actually charged me $2.00 to add meat to my taco. How else would you eat a taco??? Sneaky, not good and will not be coming back!

Ok I loooooved their food truck burger but what I had here sucked. The service was awesome but the food was really bad. The carne asado tacos were a rip off. Flavors eeww & price was even more disappointing. The famous burrito tasted like a mouthful of 3 year old grease. Ugh vomit ! I should've had a burger but with all the ranting and raving about the tacos & the burrito I wanted to try it. What a disappointment :( I really wanted to like it.

I got a chance to catch these guys on sw 89th ave and bird road. It is a good spot for them because this area is restaurant lacking!!! The MAD LOVE burger was really good. They are drawing big crowds. The Mad love burger has some kind of special sauce, 2 types of meat in the patty, avocado, onions, curly fries, a nice bread, huge size. Size has to be between 3 quarter pound burger to a full pound. Several types of cheeses inside. The meat they grind together gives it good texture and taste. It is a really good burger. The prices are not cheap, for a food truck, but the food is not food truck taste. Its not healthy food, but it is so freaking good, I wish I could have it every day; too bad my cholesterol may not agree with that decision. I tried the chicken taco and the rib eye taco. Both were good, I prefer the rib eye. If they are out of MAD LOVE, these tacos may not be a bad option. It is amazing the crowds these people are getting. I hope we get more food trucks in town like NYC/LA. Give the place a try you wont regret it. I was told that on busy nights the quality is not as good, but I cant confirm this yet.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My buddy was raving and raving about trying the food, so I finally decided to go. Walking into the place feels like it definitely does not belong in Kendall. In a strip mall but has plenty of parking. walked in and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. It was a little busy. It has a more of a mid-town / wynwood feel to it. Love the hanging lights and all the art on the wall. They have a bar in the middle which is pretty sweet and serve many beers that you will not traditionally not find in most places such as Chimay. One complaint I do have is the actual seating arrangements. The booths are a bit small and the tables are just not set up right. Non the less what's up with the food.? Started out by ordering a Chimay then the waiter went off to ask me if I have ever tried the red bottle of Chimay. Told him no and took a chance on trying it. Comes in a large bottle that will probably give you 3.5 - 4.5 regular sized beers. So it's perfect for sharing and pouring a couple beers if your eating with another person. The recommendation was perfect. Moved on to the food. First order was an appetizer. Pig wings. They were AWESOME. At my table the original burger was ordered, the Carne Asada burrito and I ordered the Yellow Tail fish tacos. Everything was absolutely AMAZING! The burger is juicy, plump & delicious with the Latin fusion twist. The burrito is not what your thinking and has a twist to it. It's fused with sweet plantains, some other things and that delicious green sauce that they drizzle on top.. And it is huge! Absolutely awesome! Definitely something you can share. But OMG those fish tacos have to be the best fish tacos I have ever had. They are just out of this world. Its three tacos and once I devoured them I ordered another plate. Don't forget and just go try them now! Yellow Tail fish tacos.. Just wow! Definitely returning. I can't wait to have a Chimay & my Yellow Tail fish tacos and pick off whoever I'm with and force them to have the burrito so I can pick. :-)) Pros- 1. Mid-town/WynWood feel in Kendall 2. Friendly staff 3. Price 4. Beer Selection 5. The Fish Tacos! Cons- 1. The seating. Please fix this!

Finally had a chance to get to the restaurant today. Definitely not disappointed. The same taste and quality that got me hooked from the food truck was not lost in translation to the physical location. You do have to give it some time in terms of interior looks as they are still putting some finishing touches (like paint and better seating for the booths), but you go to a restaurant to eat and be served, am I right? The service was great and again the food was spot on! Quick in and out service and attentive. For those previous reviews that complained about the service I saw no signs of that anywhere here. Again with a new staff you have to give it some time if you have had a bad service experience, but Chef M. has definitely started something great and hope this will be the first of many locations! Got yourself a new LHG stalker here.

My wife and I have always seen this place every time we drive down Sunset Dr. and we finally decided to stop by and all I can say is why did I not stop by like 3 months ago. lol This place is amazing, really nice decor, great food, and an awesome bar. The service was a little slow, but I think they will improve with time. So the concept of the Latin House is a combo of casual bar food and tex mex. Their appetizers all looked wonderful; we had their "Mad love" wings, which they pride themselves on, and they are pretty good, not the" best in town" but a solid 8 out of 10. Their house "mad love" sauce is very flavorful and has a great kick of spice to it. My wife of course like always got the most expensive thing on the menu which was the Carne Asada which was some of the best I have ever had and was only $16.99; yes that is the most expensive thing on the menu. I had their famous classic burger, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was very juicy and the bread and cheese you can tell were of high quality. I highly recommend this place to anybody in the area; I am already taking my brother and sister in law next week to introduce them to this new little gem. This place is great for groups because the food is made with quality ingredients and they serve you very well, I swear their loaded nachos can feed a small country. Enjoy!!!

I thought this place was decent, but nothing overly amazing and a little pricey for what the food is. We came here for lunch and got an appetizer and 2 entrees. The appetizer was the "sneaky nachos" with chorizo. They were pretty good, but as my wife said, "how good can nachos really be?" I answered, "for $10 they better be pretty damn good." These were perfectly fine nachos, but $10 nachos? Humph. For our entrees we had the vaca frita masita and the chimi burrito with ribeye. The masitas were really tasty. The meat was really good and the tortillas were light and tasted good. By far the best things we had here. The burrito was decent, but it was a little heavy and I felt like there was too much rice in it. I am not opposed to the rice being in there, but in my mind a $12 burrito should not be primarily rice. Ultimately, it was a solid, if unspectacular, meal. $36 (pre tip) for this type of meal is pretty pricey though (unless the food is blow me away good), and this was good not great food.

My boyfriend and i came here with a gift certificate I recieved. I order the lobster bisque as my appetizer. It tasted like they had melted a stick of butter and put it in a bowl. There was absolutely no lobster in it. I tried to be polite and take a few more sips.....but I felt like I was going to puke. My boyfriend ordered something as well, it was loaded with grease. I decided to maybe try something else, some kind of fried shrimp. The sauce that it came with was amazing, i was shocked. Then the bill came. There were only 2 other tables. We had been done with our food, 90 % of which was horrible. It took them almost 20 minutes to close out our bill. Both my boyfriend and i also ended up getting sick by the end of the night as well. Coincidence?This place has potential, but I was extremely disappointed with our food and service. Will not recommend to anyone. And will never go back.

what is up with LHG charging a "gratuitiy" and a "service fee" for take out orders?? As if their food wasnt expensive enough? I understand you use the "best" ingredients and yes your food is abosulutely delicious (hence why i spend 65$ for 2 burgers and 2 beers) but why on God's green earth am i being charged extra for getting in MY CAR DRIVING to YOUR RESTAURANT TO PICK UP FOOD???? although it is only a couple of dollars, its the moral behind it. I seriously dont think ill be getting take out anymore if they are just looking for ways to get all they can out of my pocket.

Hands down the BEST food truck out there! I honestly cannot get enough of their food! Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that I have tried is absolutely delicious! My absolute favorite would have to be the sliders! these damn burgers are small and delicious! last week I had an American and Cuban slider and loved both. Another fav would have to be the chicken flatton, the sauces are amaze-balls! What else makes this food truck amazing? the friendly staff! no matter how hectic they are, they always take the time to ask me how's my food and if I need anything else (sauces, napkins etc) I once waited over an hour in line for these guys, so yeah, it's that serious! Follow them on Twitter and/or FB to find out where they'll be during the week and get ready for some serious deliciousness. If you happen to be at a food truck rally, LHG will fill you up, so you might want to share the food with someone. Prices are reasonable and they accept cash and credit cards. Oh and they have Mexican coke, WIN!

My only regret is that I didn't try the heavenly food truck earlier... Everything these people make is amazing...the chimis are the most delicious, scrumptious things I have ever had. Their portions are humongous, they're super affordable and everyone is super friendly! Do yourself a favor a try these guys...soon!!! I am an official LHG STALKER!!!

Oh gosh, where to begin with Latin House? This place is an obsession for my family... any excuse to eat there is capitalized on immediately (Heat game? Mother's Day? Got out of work early?). On my most recent trip was happy to see they've actually gotten real menus (laminated, how fancy of them) and have added some wine to their already fantastic beer selection. Not many beers to choose from, but I appreciate a beer list with microbrews or harder-to-find beers. Don't worry, they also have Sam Adams, etc. for those of you who don't like to venture out of the box too often. The food? There are no words. Apps: The sneaky nachos LITERALLY take my breath away. I prefer them with carne asada or vaca frita. I'm not a big shrimp fan but my family has gotten the fire house shrimp a few times and each time it has been devoured with raves. I think the queso fondu is a little too thick (breaks all my chips... I'm not about that), but it is still tasty. For entrees, there really is nothing like the chimi burrito. I prefer it with carne asada, my cousin loves it with vaca frita. It's large enough to feed two, or one very hungry human (or, conversely, one growing 16 year old boy). Tacos are also stellar. The muffin tops are great; I'm particularly a fan of the Western. The French sounds strange, but we tried it upon the recommendation of the waitress and I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, I think we've had every entree on the menu and they've all been great. Reason for only four stars? The service. It's getting better, but it still isn't great. Half the time the restaurant is empty and I still feel like I'm searching desperately for someone to refill my water. We've had a few other service issues but the drink refills is my biggest bother. Regardless, this place is a can't miss. Do yourself a favor - come hungry, bring friends, and indulge in sneaky nachos, a chimi burrito, and a (or many) nice cold glass of beer. You'll thank yourself.

Can I say WOW! The burgers, appetizers, and staff were wonderful. I say come hungry( I say to that to almost all restaurants) but this one takes the cake!!! Brace yourselfs into Euphoria!!! I went with my parents, son and we were starving. Ordered the nachos with vaca frita and the regular size portion we were unable to finish. Then can the burgers...need I say more.. We all ordered the International Muffin Tops 2@ 10.99. The initial thought; these burgers will not fill us up. We were wrong. I had the Cuban and the French, if you like sweet stuff then these are your burgers. While the rest of my family had the Swiss and the Original. We were all in burger heaven. I will definately return- next time I wont order the appetizer so I can eat the tasy burgers!

Fantastic food! This place looks like a high end swanky NY restaurant. The servers are extremely helpful and the menu is filled with delicious items that range from Calamari to a French Brie burger, and a butt load of Mexican dishes. Great beer selection, try the Angry Orchid Hard Cider, goes great with the food. The food won't let you down!

Food was typical bar/pub food except way over priced. Service was very slow. Had to request sides that were supposed to come with my meal. Asked waitress for my side and she was like "0h you wanted that." Took 2 times to finally get it. Our server was almost on automatic. Thankfully no attitude. Thankfully we had a coupon, but there will be no next time. Just to expensive for what they are offering.

These new age, eclectic takes on ethnic cuisines are confounding. These trendy hipster places, indicating mass gentrification, are spreading all over Miami and it's both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand, they're a complete bastardization of true original delights. They're not real food in the ethnic sense of the word. For instance, real Mexican food is on a whole other tier of deliciousness beyond this food. However, these places are undeniably tasty and it's good to have some creative variety: even if the whole thing feels overly artsy and fake. What concerns me is how many naive people will come in here thinking that this is real Mexican food, or worse, what if they think it's BETTER than real Mexican food without even having tried real Mexican food? I've seen examples of both cases and those people are irritating and naive. This place mixes Mexican concepts with American ones, Cuban, and European. It's really a hodgepodge mix of everything a hipster would want to throw into a meal. Is it spectacular? Hardly. Real tacos al pastor from Mexico are spectacular. Is it good? Certainly. The best thing I tried here was definitely the taqueria calle tacos. It's a selection of 4 different tacos from the following choices of "protein" as these hipsters call it: Cilantro-Lime Chicken, Veggie, Chorizo, Cabo Wabo, Ribeye Steak, Calamari, Carne Asada, Vaca Frita, and Fire House Shrimp. These are definitely not authentic Mexican choices, but they are all tasty nonetheless. I decided to try 1 with lime chicken, 1 with chorizo, 1 with ribeye steak, and 1 with vaca frita. They were all extremely tasty. They are each adorned with pico de gallo, a hipster inspired "avocado lime sauce", and crema fresca. Tortilla quality was above reproach and the presentation was beautiful. This 11.99 assortment of tacos will not fill the average grown man, however. They're tiny. I also tried a bite of the Chimi burrito which was bigger than any burrito I've seen and with a completely new age tortilla that defies description. It's definitely crunchy and fried, yet not as heavy and greasy as it looks. The stuff inside the vegetarian burrito was out of this world good. That may be the other best thing I've had there. I also tried 2 different sliders: the french one with bleu cheese, almonds, and honey and the western with jalepeno pepper jack cheese, beer battered onion rings, and BBQ sauce. The western was far better than the French, which was too sweet and heavy for my taste.

I need some Pepto. I went over hoping to try the much loved Mad Love Burger and to my dismay it wasn't on the menu so settled for a Muffin Top Italian Style. It was a 1/4lb burger on a itty bun topped with LOTS of Italian cold cuts, provolone, tomato and lettuce as well as a little sauce that I'm not too certain of. The burger felt like it was way bigger than the 1/4 promised which I never mind and the meat was fresh and tasty but a little too "tasty". It felt over seasoned and the entire combo (which would not stay in the way too small bun) was difficult to get down even if shared. The price was just right at $6 for a combo which included a burger, nachos topped with meat and cheese and a soda. The nachos were REALLY GOOD! But, alas, just a side so we'll have to go back in hopes that they have some MAD LOVE for me.

yummy! appetizer: $12 calamari. pretty good. best were accompanying sauces. we housed it. hubby had carne asada steak meal for $9.99 and comes with 3 nice sized strips of meat, 3 plantains, and rice. I had the lobster and filet mignon tacos for $14.99. 2 tacos: 1 with lobster and other with meat. delicious but should be accompanied by chips for that price. 20 beers on draft! didn't have dessert but will definitely return to indulge on extra calories. service was excellent. ambiance is chill and good music. i don't give it a 5 b/c we ordered above with a $5 light corona and bill was $50...really?...a bit much, but we will return. they have a great menu and those burgers are amazeballs if I remember correctly from truck visits.

Hi my name is Vanessa and I am a Latin House Grill Stalker! It started innocently enough, another truck popped up on the scene with their signature dishes and elusive parking tactics. But it is now officially an addictions. Tonight I craved the cheesy yumminess that is a Latin House Chimi and when I opted to have it grilled instead of fried my trying to be healthy fat kid eyes lit up at first bite. I fought hard to resist the chocolatey balls even though the aroma and look of them was taunting me. Alas, I have left them - they will be devoured on another day because I will definitely be eating here again.

I absolutely love the food here. Great selection and quality. The only downside for me is their version of curly fries. I find that they are too thin, get cold and unpleasant to eat very quickly. I just prefer to have actual fries with my burger. That being said, the muffin tops are to die for. If you haven't tried this place out, GO

I went to a mini food truck gathering at the Alpha & Omega church and the aroma from this truck was calling my name. Wow, those burgers were good. I had the little mini version of their Madlove burger and it was insanely yummy. They have some SUPER spicy dipping sauces for those who want to add some extra heat. I wanted to try the Flaton but since I was sharing with someone we agreed on these, and I wasn't disappointed. If you're faced with several food trucks and can't choose, you won't go wrong here.

I've been dying to come here ever since I read the review on burgerbeast.com . Burger beast never lets us down! This place was delicious! We had the sneaky nachos, which were great however I fell in in love with my Puffy Flatton! It was so perfect I wanted to marry it! My boyfriend had the Chimi Burrito. At first I was envious of his choice but mine was so good I got over it really quick! Bottom line... DELICIOUS!

I didn't know about this place until I saw a Groupon for it. So before buying it I read the reviews and looked at their menu. Everything looked appealing so I went ahead and purchased 1 voucher. We went on Sunday evening for dinner and I must say for a Sunday night it had a lot of people in it. Surprisingly enough one of the parties that was there just so happens to be one of our close friends. He was there with his wife and two kids, he quickly said he loved Latin House.... "good tasting food." So after hearing that from him we were both excited to try it out. For our appetizer we ordered the Fire House Shrimp & Steak; it was an A+. For our entrees we ordered a Spinach Chicken / Calamari Salad and a Fish/FireHouseShrimp Salad. The Spinach salad had good taste BUT it was drenched in their special dressing. Grossed me out really so I just ate the chicken and calamari. I would've told the staff to fix it but I didn't want to wait because I was pretty hungry. The other salad was actually pretty good except that it could have used more protein. I would go back but next time I'll go for lunch and try one of their famous burgers or tacos. On another note, since I see there are some complaints about the staff, we were fortunate enough that the staff that night was great with us. Very friendly and attentive, can't say one negative thing about them.

I won't reiterate everything everyone has already said regarding the food, my review is for the actual restaurant opening up soon. I attended a soft opening/charity event for friends and family last weekend and even though I didn't try much of the food, my rating is strictly for customer service. I have been to all kinds of pricey 5* restaurants in Miami and the service in this place was seriously impeccable and flawless. For a minute I felt like I was not in Miami at all. Did Chef Ramsey himself train these freaking people? It was almost like they had been on a reality show called "Server Survivor Bootcamp" where if they weren't on point or attentive they were voted off the restaurant. From the moment you hit the door, the hostess opened it, and the service never dropped from there. It seemed like there had to be at least 50 staff members dedicated to this event and they all ran around like they were waiting on the president of the United States. No request was too big, annoying, or couldn't be answered after a quick run to management. A server was even super kind when he had to kick us out for overstaying our welcome at a much needed table when others were waiting to be served (everything was tips and donations that night). We were glad to leave and allow others to experience great service. I hope they keep it up. The burger I had was awesome and delicious of course (you can read all the other reviews for that) but I'm definitely coming back to try all of the other items on the menu. I had never tried their food truck before so they definitely have a new fan (especially since I just read the description of that filthy named dessert, I'll be back just to try that!).

After experiencing the quality of their food via their food trucks, I was really excited to be able to sit down in their restaurant and see what they could do with all that kitchen space. Unfortunately for it's fans, the restaurant is a huge let down... I'm a firm believer in first impressions and thus was probably the case with my experience when I first entered on Mothers Day. I walk in with a party of 3, and was actually pleased to see that we had beat the lunch rush because the restaurant was probably at 50% capacity. We were greeted by the host, only to be informed that we would have to wait about 30-45 minutes to be seated. He explained that there were reservations already made (understandable) and the available tables were for those reservations. So I took a seat by the front door and took a look at the special "Mothers Day Menu". I understand the reasoning for this, but when you're a fresh restaurant, people are still coming in to experience what it is that you offer. By limiting patrons choices, you're not really showing what you're all about. *Strike 1* As my party and I were waiting (probably about 15 minutes by now) I couldn't help but to notice that every time someone opened the main door, it would slam shut with a really awful bang. It may sound menial to you at first, but after waiting for 15 minutes with that repetitive sound right next to your ear(bang! bang! bang!) it becomes really bothersome. Twenty minutes had passed now and I had yet to see any of these "reservations" arrive, so I made mention to the host. He said, "We'll seat you in about 5-10 minutes." Those 5-10 minutes quickly turned into 15-20 and it took us about 35-40 minutes to be seated at a restaurant that was at 50% capacity. (By the way, during the time we were waiting, not ONE of those reservations arrived....????) *Strike 2* We sat down, quickly ordered (because we had 30+ minutes to stew over the menu) and waited for our order to come out... this is what put me over the top with this place. A waiter came out with one of the plates (Taco Trio) and placed it down on the table. After 5 minutes with NO OTHER PLATES from our order coming out, I decided to point out to the waitress that took our order that we were still missing 2/3rds of our order. Ten minutes after the first plate was brought out, the remainder of our order arrived.... when the first plate was already cold. *Strike 3* The actually quality of the plates were ordered were average at best. The dessert; however, (a brownie covered in dough) was pretty good. By the way, forgot to make mention that our waitress actually spilled half of my plate on my jeans when she was picking up the finished plates. Did I get an apology or a napkin even?? NOPE! In conclusion, my recommendation is to go elsewhere with your business until they have this whole "restaraunt" thing figured out.

This is one of the first food trucks I tried when before the craze started and I just keep going back for more. My only complaint is that now that they've gotten so popular there is usually a long wait. But I can't say that will stop me from going. I'm a big fan of the French Slider with brie, honey, and almonds. It's a total foodgasm. The sneaky nachos and the chimiburrito are among my other faves. And if you like spicy stuff Chef Michele always has a few of his own special sauces like a mango-habanero and a spicy chutney.

I don't understand the recent negative reviews. I went today with my groupon and I had an excellent experience, yet again. We were told there would be a 30-45 minute wait and we were seated in less than that. Our waiter was awesome! He even brought me a sample of the Angry Orchard hard cider to try..which I loved! Our appetizers came out quick and so did our food. Everything was delicious and the fries were definitely not as salty as the last time we went. Some yelpers say they couldn't get ketchup. I asked for ketchup and got it. In a little condiment cup, not in a spoon. As far as the price, I do not think it is expensive as some other reviews state. It's average pricing for a restaurant. I would say its the same price range as a large chain like Red Lobster or Fridays and the food is MUCH better. I don't see how someone can complain about the price. Try getting a large meal at Mcdonalds...its close to $10 for poison disguised as crappy food! If you don't like the prices on the menu just follow them on facebook..they post specials all the time.

This place is great. I had the Steak Chimi and let me tell you it was fantastic. It has fried plantains inside. Hello! I went with the family and two of us had Mexican while the other two had burgers. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. The service is also great and the place is really nice inside. Looks like a great local spot to have some beers with friends on the weekend. We went on a Sunday and they had the Dolphins game on. Need I say more? Next time I go I'm having a burger. They look sooooo good. Oh yeah, and their beer selection is excellent.

Chimi Burrito Wednesday night at Cigar Lover's on 83rd and bird was amazing!! I was so looking forward to having one and finally a night dedicated to the Chimi! Now you can pick what you want in it and oh I did, ribeye, rice, cheese, grilled mushrooms/onions and plantains. All the good stuff rolled up then fried to perfection. Great crowd of people the service was excellent as always. It was a little slow but it was cause someone ordered 10 Chimi's before us so we had to wait but so worth it. See ya next Chimi Burrito Wednesday @ Cigar Lovers!

The place was cool but the leather in the booths was broken and the table had a leg shorter than the rest and the glass was held togethet by a piece of tape. The food was really oily and practically laying in a soup of oil and grease. The staff was rushing me the whole time. Will never go back. HORRIBLE!!

The guava & cheese burger was great ! The Mexican to die for! The tostadas delish! The big burger 1/2 was awesome! They took a little long to bring out the food. They can use a little ambiance like sheer shades on the windows do you don't see the shipping plaza parking lot. The bar is beautiful , the music nice and the art on the wall is amazing!the tostadas were fantastic too! I had Carne adada and shrimp

Let me start off by saying our server named Junior was awesome. We were greeted right away. and he made some awesome suggestion. My boyfriend and I went there originally wanting to try their tacos. However, on my first visit with the help of Junior's suggestions, we started off with the regular sneaky nachos and a lobster bisque served in a bread bowl. The nachos were huge for a regular size so I can't imagine how big the large would be. Its a meal by itself. For the main course, I had the international muffin tops (which are pretty much a little bigger than a slider_ 1 for 5.99 or 2 for 10.99) I wanted one sweet and one savory burger so I chose the American[cheese and bacon] and French [brie cheese, sliced almond and honey]. If you are one to like it rare or medium be sure to let the server know because all burgers are cooked medium well. My kids had the chicken rice bowl from the kids menu. It was served with the tangled love and yellow rice. I must say that it was very tasty. We were so full, we didn't have room for dessert. so....... We came back two days later to eat there again. We had Junior again as our server. I wanted to save room for dessert this time. So I didn't order any appetizer. Junior suggested that I try the Masitas. Delicious. It's pretty much a puffy shell with whatever choice of protein you desire. I chose the ribeye and carna asada. I didn't care too much for the ribeye, but the carna asada was flavorful and juicy. My boyfriend had the unlimited taco special for 17.99 per person. (no sharing, no doggy bag, dine in only) This time I had enough room for the dessert. I originally wanted to try the "balls to the wall" but my boyfriend don't care for chocolate so I ordered the cheesecake ball. So I didn't enjoy the dessert as much as I wanted to because I don't really care for cheesecake. so next time, I will try the "balls to the wall" As far as I know on Tuesday are Kids night, Wednesdays are Wine-It-Down, and Thursdays are Karaoke Night. SO FAR, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOOD HERE. Junior hasn't steered us wrong yet. By the way, ask for him. You won't regret it. =)

I moved back 1yr ago from San Francisco where the food truck craze is worlds ahead of what we have here in Miami. But if Food trucks taste this damn good then we have a bright future on our hands!! I've been following another food truck in town that has some delicious fish tacos but I finally stumbled across these guys through twitter. We ordered the Rib-eye Flatton and the chicken tacos! As it was my first time there I let the owner suggest what I should eat and he suggested this bad boy! filled with 3 cheeses, grilled onion and mushrooms, rib-eye and pico de gallo this thing is like a giant food orgasm of flavor! And to top of off they had about 5 different sauces to pour on but they were bit spicy for my taste buds except for the avocado lime sauce and the traditional "crema" sauce. The chicken tacos were good but not excellent! Maybe its because that Flatton threw me in for a spin! The owner was nice enough to let me try the coconut shrimp taco which was topped with fresh pico de gallo and that was phenomenal!! Like someone said in another review the stuff is like crack!! I cant wait to "stalk" them some more. Oh and they take credit-debit cards which is AWESOME!!

My first thought about Latin House Grill was immediately that it's the best burger from a food truck I've had in Miami so far (I've frequented Latin Burger and Yellow Submarine, and tried Gastropod once.) The patty was the best part - chuck and brisket. The chefs say they grind it themselves, and I'm inclined to believe it - it's an incredibly juicy patty and full of flavor. The toppings are nothing to be sneezed at either - the potato comfit and the mango habanero sauce are especially delicious. The burger was just as delicious the second time I tried it. The only thing sort of lacking is the bun - it doesn't hold up well to all the sauces, and gets kind of soggy. Other great things are the sneaky nachos - although next time I'll order them without meat because it made them too heavy -- and the PUFFY TACOS. Definitely a must-try; "puffy" because they deep fry the tortillas, making them puff up but still stay soft. This is NOT a gross chalupa, it's much much better.

Ok so I will try to keep this one simple. 1) Best burger in Miami! 2) Several micro beers on tap! Full bar also. 3) A desert with chocolate, wrapped in cookie dough, deep fried, topped off with condensed milk and powdered sugar. 4) A personal plus - seconds from home! Latin House is a must.

Food: Delicious. Service: So-So. Time it took to bring food: Too Long. Things I didn't like: No Ketchup for fries and Pricey. MAD LOVE burger was awesome. I will still go, but they better have their A-game, plus I'm a LHG Stalker.

Excellent food, You need to try the Steak ChimiBurrito which is a Burrito slightly fried with a lot of flavor. Also the Burgers are excellent. The only thing i don't like its that every time i get utensils they don't give you a knive, i don't understand the logic behind it but when you are using a fork you need a Knive.

As far as food i would give them four stars. BUT if you are hungry or in a hurry do NOT come here. Service was terrible and the owners wife was extremely unprofessional! Never going back there again. We waited 2 HOURS for our food. When we complained we weretold we were not the main priority that evening because there was a larger party obviously giving them more business. The owners wife (beba) or whatever her name is came over and said it was normal for customers to wait 30 min for their food on a busy night. When we told her we had been waiting almost two hours she said she was going to check to see what time we actually placed our order according to the ticket. I guess we looked like liars. She never came back or even acknowledged that we were right. She never appologized. NOTHING. I will never be eting here again. We took our father out to dinner here. Had reservations at 8pm and left the restaurant at 11pm! Im sorry to say, no matter how good your food is, there are way better places with much friendlier service. This is why start up restaurants like this dont last. I'll spend my money elsewhere

Gotta preface this review by saying that I went to school in Philly where there was a very developed food cart/truck network, so I have been really excited by seeing businesses like LHG and Jefe's. So I went to LHG on 89th and Bird on Tuesday night with my mom - I've been facebook stalking these guys for quite a while now and was pretty excited to try their grub. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience but was disappointed with the food. That said, LHG definitely has potential. We tried three things: the burger, a chicken flatton, and carne asada tacos. The burger was probably my least favorite of the three. We ordered it medium rare (mistake?) and the meat was kind of mushy. Nice toppings, but felt too heavy and greasy. Came with seasoned fries because they were having issues with their cooking oil and couldn't get the curly fries right - the fries had good flavor but lacked crunch (see aforementioned oil issue). The chicken flatton was tasty, but didn't knock my socks off. It also felt heavy and greasy...could have used more pico de gallo to offset the chicken and cheese. My mom also complained that the flatton and the burger were too salty. The carne asada tacos were delicious. Very fresh and simple flavors. Tasty. The two sauces, cilantro jalapeno and habanero mango, were excellent. Especially liked the mango sauce - had plenty of heat too! I have to say....a lot of the pictures I see on here look like glamor shots compared to the food I received. Not that mine was unappetizing...but it definitely didn't look as good as these pictures would indicate. We didn't get any avocado, either, although the menu said most items come with it - so that was also disappointing. All that negativity aside, LHG has potential. I want to go back and try their cabo wabo fish tacos - they sound great. The man who operates the truck (unfortunately I didn't get his name) has a lot of love and passion for his business and that definitely comes through (and is much appreciated!!! keep it up, bro!). He was super attentive and answered our many questions with contagious enthusiasm. I think that with more practice and finesse, LHG could be a cornerstone of the Miami mobile culinary scene.

Sorry Latin house, I'm done with the love affair. It seems like each time I go, the service and wait time is getting worst. On this last visit we walk in and there was About 7 empty tables and we had to wait over 20 minutes to sit down. We were the only ones waiting. Next another 20 minutes for waiter to take order. After he takes order he informs us the kitchen is backed up over 40 minutes. At this point we are over 45 minutes in so we decided to stick it out. Well the food easily took about an hour to come out. Like always the food was great. But the bad service, or lack there of service and the horrible wait time has brought you down to one star.

We loved this place. We wanted to find a place where we could bring our 2 dogs while visiting my mom in Kendall. Found this place using my Yelp app on my smartphone. And we are glad we did. Sitting outside at a table on the covered sidewalk a young biy walked up to pet our dogs. We started talking to the boy and found out his parents were the owners. He sat with us and kept us entertained throughout our dinner. What an incredible little ambassador thi young man was. Not olny did we enjoy his company, but when the food came, it was nothing short of a true culinary treat. We will definitely be back.

everything on the menu sounds amazing, but it isn't. it all tastes and smells the same, which is terrible. bonus points for having some veggie options. negative bonus points for that scam noodles and shredded potato cop out they give you instead of making real fries. at least they have a few decent beers.

I remember the first time I ate at their food truck over a year ago. Ever since I've been hooked and loyal to the death. The Chimi burrito is my personal favorite, I get it probably 99% of the time. That's how amazing it is and how willing am I to show up often just for one item on the menu, that says a lot about them. Staff is really nice and they do care about their guests. It's always my first choice when I go out to eat and I would consider it my "hang out" spot. I will go there until the day I die.....too good to resist.

I love, love the food at Latin House, we live very close to the restaurant and eat there often. The quality of the food is high and so delicious. However, the service is hit or miss, sometimes faster than others. The staff is very friendly but the place definately could use some organization in the kitchen and the speed of the food comming out to the tables. PLEASE BE NICE TO THE HOSTESS SHE IS MY DAUGHTER !!!! Thank you, and BTW, i love the weird fries that come with the burgers, the chuchi bowl is the BEST !!!

Really good food, but poor service...not sure if I'll be back with my husband and family. We were there on a Sunday and the restaurant was not even packed. There were tables unseated, but yet we had to wait 10 minutes to sit down. Our order for appetizers took 15 mins to come out, and our meals took about 45 minutes. The manager never approached our table to apologize. We also saw several people leave after wating too long for a waiter.

This place is delicious! Everything was good. If you get the tacos make sure one of them is fish. Our waiter Willie recommended we try the frita burger and it was really good, especially if you like a little sweet flavor in your burger. I would definitely check this place out if you haven't already.

My boyfriend recommended this place. I was a little weary because it was in a strip mall. No biggie since there are many great dives to be found. :) The decor here is slightly tacky. But then again these owners come from a food truck business so why worry about decor! The service was a tad slow but again they just have to get their act together. We had the sangria which was refreshing and tasty! Ok good start. We had the famous burgers with the fried egg on top! Served with home made fries. OMG is all I can say! The burger was juicy, savory, scrumptious, yummy. So many more adjectives I can use. We then had dessert! The heavenly Balls to the Wall. Oreos wrapped in a glazed donut and deep fried in dough! With a sauce on top! FOODGASM ALERT! This is one of the best desserts that I have ever tasted. Lets just say that we left stuffed but satisfied! If you don't care about great decor and ambiance but want really good, delicious food, this is the place for you! We will be going back! I can't wait to try their stuffed burritos! YUM

I was a bit hesitant to visit this place because they are primarily known for their good food truck food. However, I took the advice of my cousin and went this past Saturday. I made the crucial mistake of ordering the mushroom topper burger because I thought it was the regular size. So I ordered the Italian burger which was on point except for the size. I spent 10 minutes looking at the guy next to me devour a regular sized burger while my mouth watered. Much to my displeasure I was quickly brought to reality when the burger I was given was proportioned well if you are the size of an ant. Other than that I believe they need to have a larger selection and some unsweet tea...Everyone has that! I will visit this place again and I will make sure I order the burger according to size!

Beyond disappointed!! Came to eat here today with my family because of race reviews from my father. I was excited to hear that this place was once. Food truck because honestly as a chef myself some if the. Best and most creative food comes from food trucks. We got to the restaurant around 3:40 and w were told that there was a 30 minute wait. Being a Sunday afternoon I wasn't surprised. We gladly waited to the side for our party of 7 to be sat. After 15 mins I went inside to escape the mosquito's and heat and saw that several tables were empty and the outside was full of patrons waiting. This did not sit well but I decided to assume that maybe they were short staffed. While we were waiting we looked at the menus and determined what we were eating as we were in a time crunch since we had a birthday party to attend at 5. We finally sat down a little after 4 and were greeted kindly by our waitress. She took our drink order and food order and since we had 2 small kids I asked that their food be brought out first since they were starving. Our order was simple... 3 orders of the tacos with steak and no avocados, to puffy burgers as they come and a kids chicken nuggets and a kids rice and chicken. Our drinks came pretty promptly, but that was about it. We finally got our food at 5:47, after watching every other table be sat, order, eat and leave. At this point I was beyond upset and our waitress wouldn't even look at us. As a matter of fact the manager (a husky woman counting drawers who I assumed was the manager) standing only a few feet away wouldn't even look at us. After the first 30 mins we watched several confused servers bring the wrong food from Table to table and patron to patron Asking whether they ordered it. I assume after a plate of nachos was declined by every table as we saw (clearly a mishap by the kitchen) the cold nachos were brought to our table and offered as complimentary. We accepted because we were starving, and I'm happy because our food took an additional 40 mins. Finally my father walked up to the manager and told her we've been waiting over and hour and were starving, to which she shrugged and said it was coming out soon. At no point did she even go in the kitchen. Even for a food truck this is poor etiquette. Finally our food arrived and my tacos were too salty and cold. At this point the waiter my dad previously had and raved about, Willy, came over and we expressed our dismay. He arrogantly replied, "but the food is really good so it makes up for everything" I'm sure that's real cute, but not when I've been waiting over an hour for tacos! He then gave us the excuse that they got a new fryer that takes longer to cook, and that the place is always busy and something about Guy Fieri.... I told him Yes, the food is good but not good enough for me to wait all that time and that we should have been told from the beginning. I told him I'm a chef and went to school for hospitality and culinary and have worked in all sorts of establishments and the manager at least comes to speak with the guests. His smart ass response was "well if you went to school then you know it's not the servers fault it's the kitchen !" Sorry, I don't see how you can be so rude to a disgruntled guest and honestly to think the food will make up for the HORRIBLE experience then he is sadly mistaken! And to top it all off the place is OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED!!!!!! $14 for steak tacos that are too salty and cold!!! If I could give this place no stars I would have! I will never go back and I will discourage as many people as possible to not bother with this headache. To get to a restaurant at 3:40 and leave at 6 is ridiculous.

Great spot. The queso fondue was delicious and the tacos superb. We sat at the bar for dinner and craft beers, Yani the bartender was very friendly and made good beer recommendations. We'll be back!

Food trucks are all the rage, but this one takes the cake! Visited Latin House Grill last night and was very pleasantly surprised. The "flatton" was wonderful, the meat tender and best of all where the string fries. The sauces are fantastic, if you are in the mood for a bit of spice try the habanero sauce. We also tried the chicken tacos and they were very good.

I went yesterday and thought the food was good, not great BUT was completely shocked at their "10 % gratuity on take out and to-go orders" are you kidding me? Gratuity for what-cooking the food? Thats an insult and I'll never go back again.

Give it up to LHG for taking an old idea, the roach coach and turning it into the standard for today's food truck craze. I had the Madlove Burger with all the toppings and their new Habanero Mango sauce...Awesome! The burger was big and juicy, even though I asked for it medium-rare and it came medium. I guess since we were the first one's to order, Chef M was prepping the kitchen and left the burger on just a little too long. No worries, it was still amazing. It came with Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, caramelized onions, avocado and homemade Brioche buns made that morning. Of course, it was topped with the best crispy string fries ever. The Habanero Mango sauce had a nice kick to it but not too hot to over power the other flavors of the burger. My wife had the ChimiBurrito. It came with yellow rice, maduros, fried egg, carne asada with the flakiest crust on a burrito I've ever seen. Although my wife liked it, half way through she noticed that it was the wrong order. She asked for no egg and it came with an egg. Also, she asked for the sauce on the inside and there was no sauce. She also noticed that there was a pool of grease at the bottom of the plate that looked like a mixture from the oil of the cheeses had filtered through the yellow rice. Again, we think because we were the first ones to order, either she got someone else's ChimiBurrito or the order was misread. She also thought it could have had a little more carne asada. Either way, it was still very tasty. Next time my wife isn't going to play around, she's ordering the Madlove! About LHG - Friendly service, great prices, clean and organized kitchen. And to Chef M and the rest of the gang, keep doing what you're doing! Add two more "Food Stalkers" to your list!!!

I've seen Latin House Grill around a lot, but didn't try them until Thursday night at Tropical Park. My friend and I both ordered the Shrimp Taco box which came with 3 shrimp tacos and tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese. It cost $13, but let me tell you, the flavor was amazing on those tacos! It must be the sauces they use; I think there were two different kinds. There was this creamy lime flavor that just hit the spot, every time. I would have loved if they did something more with their "nachos" though. I'm not a fan of nacho cheese. If they sprinkled a little bit of cheddar on warm baked chips and maybe included some salsa, I'd be a happy camper.

I was so excited to try this place as the reviews made it sound amazing. I was in town with my family for a cruise. We got to the restaurant around 8:45 pm on a Friday night. Miami Heat game was on so I expected a little wait. We only waited for about 10 minutes for a table. So took our drink order which was just a few waters. After we finally decided what we wanted the waiter took our appetizer, and main dish order. After about 20 to 30 minutes the waiter came out and told us they were out of the appetizer we ordered. So we decided on another and he said OK. We waited another 20 minutes and the waiter came back and said it would be right out because were were the next in line so to speak. Mind you we saw many other people getting food in the meantime. So finally he came back again and said they were really backed up and it would be another half a hour for the appetizer. So the manager or part-owner came and got us the appetizer out right away and "on the house". We asked for our burgers to be made to-go, because we had somewhere to go. After eating about half of the appetizer, which was quite tasty, the waiter came out and asked us if we wanted our burgers to-go and we said yes we all ready told the other lady this. We also mentioned we did not want to wait another hour for them. The part-owner was in the area and she said she would go check. She then came and said it would be probably more then 15 minutes. We just told them no and up and left. How would this food take another 15 minutes to get to us after we had all ready been in there about a hour and a half since we put the food order in and other people were getting their food. I understand this restaurant was only open 3 weeks, but they should think of going back to the truck. I was so excited to try this place, but waited all most 2 hours to get some nachos for free, because we all ready waited too long. No food is this good where you have to wait that long. If we are ever back in town we will not come back to this place. The place we tried the night before was a 100 times better and faster. It was called Pincho Factory Inc.

New Year's Day boredom and hunger led me to this food truck. They were serving a new menu item, the Thick W, which is "a Jumbo Thick Kosher Hot Dog on brioche bun, topped w lots of LOVE, fries and a drink" ($10). Also the muffin top burgers which are "mini" burgers. I put the mini in quotations because biting these burgers took quite an effort from how tall they are. Both of these items were extremely delicious although I felt that they were a bit expensive. I would make this a regular lunch spot were it not for the price but this will not stop me from coming. I just won't come on a regular basis though. More like a once a month thing. If you have never come to a food truck, this is a really relax and chill atmosphere. You order your food, sit down and talk while you wait for it and get to meet new people if you want. Its a change from the constant sit down restaurants that I really enjoy. My favorite part of the meal was the Balls to the Walls which is brownie dipped in funnel cake and fried dipped in condensed milk. This was probably top 3 in desserts for me. I wish I could explain how good it is but words escape me. I plan to return and try some more menu items next time. I just wish they would lower the prices a bit.

This was my second time there. First time, I was only able to have mashed potatoes and lobster bisque and both were great. Went back only to be disappointed by the greasy food. Their signature Mad Love Burger was oozing with oil and the chorizo flutton not spectacular. I must admit, the waiter did recommend the flutton with rib eye but I thought it was more like a pizza with chorizo sprinkled on top and it is more like a chalupa. The desert took forever to get to the table although it was delicious. The waiter was too efficient...border line rude...when filling my daughter's water glass he literally pulled it out of her hand while she was drinking the water!!!! I agree with a previous comment, that they seem somewhat unorganized. When we went the first time, they had run out of ice cream by 7:00PM on a Friday evening. The carne asada tacos, the lobster lollipops, lobster bisque and mashed potatoes were outstanding.

This is one of the best. I have been a fan since they had their food truck. I use to drive all around miami to eat from them. Now that they have their own place i can go any time. You can't go wronf with anything on the menu. The Burgers are fantastic (Cuban favorite & mad lov). The chimi is also great and of course the fish tacos.

Just had my first food truck experience and it was a GREAT one, I'm happy to report. Both the fish taco & carne asada taco were to die for ... Absolutely delicious!! Just say YES to the pico de gallo and insane hot sauce... you won't regret it. Guess I'm officially a "stalker"!!!!

We ordered a burger (original) & the vaca Frita burrito. The burger was awesome & juicy! The burrito tasted great too. For dessert, ordered the "elephant ears/ice cream/cheese cake" it was delicious! It is actually called something else but I forgot.

Ok here it is ... first off come hungry the portions are plentiful. Now the trick is to follow them on Facebook so you can keep up with location and menu items. Chef M is a great guy with a real heart of gold ... he's always smiling.. I would recommend them any chance I get!

Theres nothing better than this truck!!!!! One of the owners and head chef, Michelle, is a very nice, honest and genuine individual. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and interested in how his customers experience their food. He works there with his wife. We went on a Friday night and ordered Sneaky Nachos and the special of any 3 mini-burgers with fries and a drink. Omg, best mini-burgers of my LIFE. Burger options are Mexican, Italian, French, American, Swiss, Bulgarian, and I think one more. The French comes with honey, almonds and brie. (The best one!!) The Italian has some sun dried tomatoes and the Bulgarian has jalapenos. FYI: for the hot sauce lovers out there, they have a habanero-mango hot sauce that will knock your socks off it's so hot (seriously, be careful.) Excellent customer service. Amazing food. Enjoyable experience. My favorite food truck. PERIOD. Totally worth tracking on twitter.

I had read the review for LHG on Burger Beasts site, and luckily they were in my area for lunch. Drove out, and there was a small crowd when I arrived. Took about 10 minutes to order and get food. I ordered the puffy ribeye flatton with extra pico de gallo. It was spectacular! I slathered that bad boy with the mango habañero and crema sauce. It was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. The gourmet sliders looked delicious. I will try those next time. On a side note, there was some entertainment provided free of charge by the sauce area. Some yuppie was not using the proper technique to apply the mango habañero sauce to his meal. He was squeezing the bottle when the nozzle was clogged with a piece of habañero. He squeezed so hard the whole thing exploded, taking him and an innocent bystander out in a wave of habañero fury! They were both drenched and looked in pain from the sauce getting in their eyes! It was classic!

Coming from the best food truck, it is now one of the best restaurants in Miami. I went to the food truck for the first time in September of 2010 and became an avid stalker since then. Now with the restaurant, which is 5 minutes away from my house, I am able to go any day I want. I have been to this restaurant at least 30 times without exaggeration. It is incredible. Love everything they have on the menu. They serve the best burgers you will ever eat anywhere. Each Mad Love burger is made with, you guessed it... Mad Love, along with anything else on the menu. One of my favorite things to eat is the Chimi Burrito, stuffed with jumbo flour tortilla, rice, three types of cheeses, and maduros, which you can have with the protein of your choice (vaca frita, ribeye, carne asada, chicken, shrimp, etc). The Chimi is huge and always gets me full. Sometimes I even save the other half for later. For dessert, I always get the Balls to the Wall that come in two and are chocolate filled with condensed milk. Amazing. Even better if you get it with ice cream. They have a great selection of beer and wine also. The service has been great every time I go. Always receive my food in good time. At the busiest hour with a full house (like during a heat game), I have waited at the most about an hour to get my food, which is understandable. During quieter times, I usually receive my food in around 15 minutes. Also, they are still under their SOFT opening. When they finally have their GRAND opening, it is going to be even better. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
Was hesitant to try this place but I'm glad I did. We got seated right away. The food came fast and it was delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I had the Carne asada tacos and they were amazing! I will definitely come back.

My fiance and I tried LHG after reading such great reviews and we are happy we did! It was very tasty, delicious and you can tell the food is made with love.

can not find the true words to describe this wonderful experience my palate has had!!! you can not go wrong with anything from this food truck... lets start with the service:: amazing with a smile and quick - everyone is wonderful - from the young lady who took our order, to the cook when told to cook mines a bit more (like it well done) to the Magic Hand Man in window who threw on the final touches on my sliders.... tonite hubby & i were on a mission to final try their actual food. in the past we have had the churros with teasers and we knew we had to try food!! we went with the special being offered of the 2 sliders (any one from their off the wall menu - The Cuban a burger with Guava & cheese?? really?next time for sure!) tonite we went with the French - a muffin top burger topped with BRIE MELTED CHEESE, HONEY (YES THE DELICIOUS SWEET STUFF) and ALMONDS!! lets say my mouth went into a blast of happiness, mouthwatering, finger licking frenzy!!! once i bit into this slider it felt like walking on a culinary cloud nine!!! you could taste each individual flavor and then how each made each other be a movie star!!! the melted brie cheese hugged the hole burger patty like a warm gooey blanket, drizzled with sweet honey which was an amazing enhancement for the cheese and the almonds on top was the crunchy finally to wrap this small wonder into a scrupcious delicacy!! we then chose the Italian slider as our second. this too was on a muffin top bun topped with provolone cheese melted and then delicious toppings went on such as pepperoni sliced thin fresh julienned basil and a sauce!!! VIVA ITALIA! it was just as amazing as the first!!! the deal provides for various options. we had 2 sliders, fries (which were also good) and 1 coke for $10. - not bad at all. we will be keeping up with the food truck and look forward to the new and upcoming combinations we were told about - like a Greek slider!!!!! all food is done with not only amazing ingredients, but with care and love!!!! how the continue to do as well as they are and continue to provide us with amazing goodies!!

So I ended up going last night to try the Fish Tacos. I went there with a rather large order for the fam, and one specific request from my wife: She wanted to try the Fish Taco too. So I ordered two of them. The cook insisted we try the Fish taco there so he could see our reaction. Needless to say, we had to order another two, the first two weren't leaving that parking area! Amazing flavor, and extremely fresh, but then again so is all of the food there! The mini sliders and chimiburrito were sublime! And the deserts.. WOW!!! I'm not a big sweets person, but the "balls to the wall" were out of hand!!! This was my second visit to LHG, but definitely not my last! Keep up the fantastic work!

Great Truck great variety of food and yummy! highly recommed them. other trucks were good too, except one friend got bad diarrhea from eating at Havana Rice truck ,which was "arroz con Pollo a la chorrera" why he ate that is beyond me, why would anyone eat that from a food truck .so many other better choices, why get full on a cheap food, I only eat this at home or when someone invites me over to their home. all the other trucks we tried were awsome and worth the trip!

Showed up excited to pig out on my 1st cheat day for my new diet. A 20 minute wait on a Friday night seemed reasonable. What I DIDN'T understand, however, was why we weren't seated even though there were well over 8 empty tables in my immediate eye sight. The hostess awkwardly asked us to get out of the way (mind you, we had a 1 year old with us and all the accoutrements that a 1 year old requires for a "peaceful" dinner to occur), asking us to wait outside (under cover, although there was a monsoon in full swing) or at the bar (with a 1 year old, on a stool). Management didn't want the entrance "blocked" she said. She then proceeded to explain that her manager had asked her not to seat any additional parties because she had previously sat too many people back to back and it was slowing down the kitchen. TRANSLATION: "I have no idea what I'm doing, and neither does the rest of the staff. These tables and chairs are just decorations. Don't mind them. Oh yeah, and my manager, my manager, my manager, blah blah blah ..." You get the picture. Was finally seated, ordered (2 sliders + the grilled chimiburrito, which has changed my life in the past, might I'd add...) The food came out quickly and was warm (hence, 1 of the 2 stars). The Burgers and homemade chips were fantastic (the 2nd star), but the chimi was an unedible disaster of salt, salt, and more salt with dried, day-old meat mixed with cheese and little to no rice. I was beyond confused and convinced that my taste buds were betraying me. I couldn't muster a third bite and was saved by my husband's willingness to be a good catholic and share his plate with me. After speaking to the manager (cause duh, Homegirl came around to ask how everything was), and explaining the disaster that had ensued on my plate, she offered dessert (no thanks, I filled up on my husbands slider and chips). She then offered to discount the burrito after assuring me that she'd go back to taste "the batch" (code for god knows what). Let's just say that I was pretty amazed to see that $2.40 had been discounted from my check and I was still being charged for the salt - I mean, burrito. OOOOHH RREEEAAAALLLYY ?!? No. After some back and forth, she finally removed the full charge, but it took way more work than it should have. I left feeling sad, cheated, and very, very thirsty. So disappointing because this place is literally 5 minutes away from my home and there's really nothing like it in the area.

I have been to their location twice and multiple times to the food truck a few years ago. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The tiger shrimp ceviche which I'm having today is absolutely delicious. The shrimp is chunky and the kick they give it is just right. It's not spicy but with a kick. A definite must have. The white sangria is very good too. Do NOT get me started on the Elvis. They have taken the pb and j to another level. However.. That is a meal I will probably have once a quarter. Fried plantains, cheese, patty and pb and j. It is the perfect mix! The service both times I've been has been great. So DELICIOUS!!! The location is very hip. However, the booths are a little awkward. Towards the right, the booths are too spaced out. I had to switch booths because there was too much space between me and and the table. They have tvs, the artwork on the walls is amazing. We will definitely be coming here to catch some heat games. Everything is delicious!

The food here is good and so is the service but there was nothing out of this world about this restaurant. I do remember the food being very greasy which was a negative. Not wowed but no complaints either. It was just a meh experience. I like greasy just like everyone else but not when it gives me heart burn. I give it three stars.

The food used to be great when they first opened and we used to go often...service was great and the convenient location close to home was an added bonus. Last time I went, my heart broke. Service was slow...so slow I left without eating after 45 minutes of waiting. I had actually considered not going based on the time before this visit when the food was just...not worth the wait! But again, convenience drew me back. We had kids in our party and I think 45 mins for food is insulting for an adult, let alone a child!!! Nothing was offered!!!!! And lord knows I wouldn't have ordered anything after 30 mins of waiting cause I don't know of I would've ever gotten it. Needless to say, the original greatness of the muffin tops shall remain a memory...with a sad feeling!

Food was tasty, service was so-so. First time here, met up with some old friends to catch up. This restaurant is very spacious, a lot of seating, and the type of restaurant where it's a ok to be little loud because the seating is spread out. All of my friends and I got something different to eat and we pretty much killed our plates. I got the Puffy Flatton: puffy flat bread with your choice of protein (ribeye all the way!), tomatoes, lettuce, and this delish avocado cilantro sauce. One of my friends got the same thing but just on a grilled flatbread. Both dishes get served with tortilla chips on the side. No sauces, so we asked for guacamole (which is an extra $2) but worth it! Their guac is awesomeeee! Every dish comes with your choice of protein, so there's a lot of options. Beef, chicken, pork, etc. And please try the dessert Balls to the Walls! UH-MAH-ZING. It's similar to a molten lava cake. Now on to the service, I'm not sure if our waitress was new or.. Idk. She was nice but clueless. We ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer and we never got it. By the time we mentioned it to our waitress our entrees were already coming out, and she seemed shocked to know we didn't get it, but we just ended up canceling it. She took forever and a day with ringing up our bill and the restaurant wasn't that busy.. So I can't really give her that. Besides the whatever service, I would go back there to try the other foods. Hopefully the service will be better tho.

We ordered from here tonight a take out order. The girl on the phone told me it would be 30 min.! My husband went to pick it up and had to wait another THIRTY MINUTES! I've recommended Latin House to so many of my friends and family but after tonight I'm done! There was no apology from a manager ... NOTHING!

I really wanted to like this place, so it pains me to write this review. I was so excited to come here after following the business on FB and seeing all the pictures of their yummy looking food. We arrived on a Sunday night around 8:30pm. There were patrons there but the place was not full. We wanted to sit at a booth and there were several available, but all needed to be cleaned. Waited for a bit for staff to clean the area. It shouldn't take that long to wipe down a table and sweep. We were finally seated after 10 minutes. Then we just waited and waited. No one came to take a drink order. There were a couple of employees that looked like servers just standing around and talking. There was a server near us that never looked our way. We eventually decided to walk out. No one stopped us and asked how they could help. It was a miserable experience. Good food is important but service is just as well. I realize that making a transition from a food truck to a restaurant may not be easy, but the lack of attention to this very important detail (service) is baffling. Maybe I will give them a shot one more time once the taste of that experience has worn off.

kids quesadilla was much better than adult food. had a juicy burger, but so plain. the avocado lime crema is so minimal, a few lines on the tomatoes. they don't have pickles, even if you ask. they don't have mustard, even if you ask. the fries aren't really fries, they're somewhere between string fries and potato chips and very very greasy. just not good enough to go back.

My boyfriend and I have been to this restaurant 3 times in the past few months and the food has always been really good. The services is nothing to brag about, but it is not horrible either. The place is clean and we have been seated and served within reasonable time even though we have arrived all three times during busy dinner hours. Our overall experiences has been good, but the food is definitely the reason why we have come back.

The food is über-fresh, it's incredible. Creative spins on traditional everyday foods is what makes this joint unique. I come here at least twice per month and each item on the menu is prepared as if it were the only item. Top-notch quality food, delicious flavors & textures, great service....awesome sangria....and Balls to the Wall desert? Lets just say I have hot dreams about them Balls! This his my top 5 favorite restaurant in Miami by far....

I've been a long term follower since their food truck days. They've got one of the best burgers and that's what I mainly go for. On peak nights(Fri-Sun) expect to wait quite some time to be seated (20-30 min) and get your food delivered (45-60min). In the past you would be able to sit at the bar and order from the menu but this has now changed that you can only order drinks and appetizers. Any who the food quality is great and fresh.

This place is so good! When I'm here I wish my stomach was bigger (just kidding) I have been here several times and ordered different things and have liked everything so far! You can tell the chef takes pride in his craft. I have never had to wait to be seated. I have also ordered to go and it's been great. There is always parking available. I am here at least once a month. I just forget to check in

My husband and I treated his parents for lunch on Father's Day. They were first-timers and loved the food. I got my usual chimi, which as always, was amazing to the very last bite. I went with carne asada instead of rib eye this time. I felt the carne asada was full of flavor, much better than the rib eye, in my opinion. Our waiter today was great. He was on top of things, by always coming over and checking on us and making sure we had refills. I will keep coming!

I ate here last night for the first time with three other people and was pretty unimpressed (the other three in my party agreed). The service really was pretty good. The hostess and server were friendly, things came out in a pretty reasonable time. The nachos were very good (we had them with vaca frita). But if this place is about the burgers, it really did fall short. Our table had 4 burgers: two fritas, one Elvis and a fourth that I forget. The best word I can think of for the fries: obnoxious. They don't taste like much and, more importantly, are not fries. It's more of a heaping mound of potato chip crumbs. These might make a decent burger topping, but a side item they are not. This was an absolute consensus at our table, and from the look of the reviews here, we're not alone. We all also agreed that this place goes way over the top with the toppings. The frita burger had too much of that guava ketchup (which was also too sweet for our liking), and they went about 3 times too heavy on the peanut butter and jelly in the elvis burger. I'm all about going to a place for something overindulgent, but if I'm ordering a burger, I want to taste the meat first. When you have a layer of peanut butter almost as thick as the burger and there are globs of jelly coming out of your burger, it's just not fun anymore. Why is there jelly in an "Elvis" to begin with? I should have asked they leave it off. I wouldn't refuse to come back here if a friend wanted to go, but it would never occur to me to go back. There are too many other great options in the area.

OMFG this place is not Latin Burger (@latinburger) the locally famous burger and taco truck! This is @latinhousegrill - totally different. I feel like a freakin' fool. We went here thinking that it was that Latin Burger and Taco everyone keeps talking about and were really confused when we were so disappointed with our experience. To make matters more confusing this restaurant had a food truck at one point. Other yelpers talked about how their truck food was so amazing on this page. So I thought, "Hey, the restaurant is probably just as good as the truck." Well, let me tell you it's not going to be "just as good" if it's the WRONG freaking company! This review is for Latin House and NOT Latin Burger and Taco, which I will seek out in the near future. I was disappointed by the burger and chimi. My friend was pleased with the burger. I had half of the burger and found a extremely weird texture to the beef. It had big, chewy chunks throughout the patty. At times, I felt like they had used that weird meat glue stuff to assemble their patties. It didn't even taste like beef. It was spongy and strange. I had half of the chimi (fried burrito) which was alright. It looked very impressive coming to the table. It was cut beautifully in half at a diagonal, unfortunately there was a substantial pool of oil at the bottom of the plate and there was much fried beef to be found in the chimi. It was mainly rice. Otherwise, it was tasty. A little pricey but much better than the burger. Service was attentive but our table was a little too close to the area where all the servers gather and gossip. Seeing the windex bottle on the bar placed an inch away from several water pitchers (pitchers that refill your water glasses) was not too appetizing. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is nice. I really like all the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.

My siblings and I came here around 8pm on a Sunday night with a sweet tooth craving. I have had their burgers and the famous balls to the wall ( which is a deep fried brownie) so that is what we were desperately needing. The restaurant was fairly empty with less than a dozen patrons scattered throughout. We were seated promptly which was good, but we waited about 15 minutes before our server first came to see us. When he did arrive though, he was very helpful and friendly. And now for the food. We ordered the taqueria calle tacos ( one carne asada, one chicharrone, one bbq and one ribeye), balls to the wall, and the fried madagascar vanilla dough. The balls to the wall and fried madagascar vanilla dough were outstanding, perfect "sweet tooth craving" food. Make sure to get it with vanilla ice cream to balance out the chocolatey gooiness. Just writing about it makes me want to sink my teeth into fried chocolate heaven. Unfortunately, this is not where the review ends. The tacos that came were extremely sub-par. The pico de gallo was fresh, the tortillas were not bad and the sauces were okay, but each of the meats tasted like they were cooked in the morning. All the meats were dry, lacking flavor and chewy, except for the bbq one which I think was because the massive amount of bbq sauce masked the meat. I had better tacos at taco bell. So it took a long time to place our orders and the tacos were something I would serve my dog, but our waiter was nice (once he showed up) and the desserts were excellent. I have had their burgers from the food truck before and they were delicious, so next time I come here I will order what they are known for. I will be updating this review once I go back. *Best Dish - Balls to the wall*

Ok. So I was kind of hesitant to go back, but I gotta say we all ad a great time this time around. It was a co worker's birthday and we went on a Wednesday during lunch time. The service was pretty great and the food was nothing less than AWESOME (Like always)!! Me & the birthday girl shared a rib eye chimi burrito and it was sooo good! :) We got our food within a timely manner and the owner even came by to say hello and introduce himself. We had a great time! They even comped the Birthday Balls!! I wouldn't hesitate to go back again, maybe this time during dinner. If you've had a bad experience before, give it another shot. I did and I WILL be coming back again!! Thanks LHG!!

Terrible service . I asked for a burger with no cheese , onions or mushrooms . Everything was still on there . I ask to remove the onions and mushrooms. The server has every single one of the toppings removed . We ask what happened to the toppings . He says I took it all off. We ask for the toppings back. He brings out bacon laid on a napkin and sets in on the table , we ask to bring the rest of them too, and he dashed away and wouldn't listen. Terrible.

Worst service in Miami. No joke; I called the other day 26 times to order pickup and no one picked up. So I ordered through Delivery Wow and they called me back and told me that no one was picking up, so they had to cancel my order. This was last Saturday afternoon. This weekend, i bit again. This time, they picked up and I placed my order. When I got there, there was a lady with her kid that was waiting to be seated. Despite half of the restaurant being empty, they told her, she'd have to wait because the other side of the restaurant was closed. Really? On a weekend, in the afternoon, you have a section of your restaurant closed? And you can't sit down a woman with a small child in one of the empty tables? Ridiculous. So, back to my order; when I placed my order, they told me it would be 35 minutes, tops. True to Latin House Grill form, my food was finally ready for pick up an hour and a half after I ordered it. Can you imagine why a half empty restaurant took an hour and a half to put together 2 meals? Me neither. Anyways, so when I was waiting for my food, i got to observe why their service is so bad... they constantly have drink orders from the servers and the servers then have to wait for someone else to put together those drink orders. Problem is that there is no full time bar tender. I don't understand why the servers cant just pour the drinks themselves or at least have a full time bar tender. The girlt that they had behind the bar that day was completely out of it. Someone ordered as espresso, and she literally, read order, pressed the button, and stood in front of it as the coffee brewed, instead of pouring a coke or a beer or something else. Amazingly horrible. While I was waiting for my order, there were people sending their food back, people who got the wrong orders, one lady's burger was overcooked and when they offered to make her another one, she said, there's no way I'm waiting another hour for a burger. This place has gone downhill fast. Horrible service by an incompetent staff. Food takes forever, drinks take forever. If you want to go spend a few hours at a place and wait forever for everything, go here. You wont see me there.

What a horrible experience!! 1- they were out of most of their beers. I ended up having to order water because they just didn't have any of their menu's beers that I Would like 2- they were out of the "mad love" How can a restaurant be out of their menu's main item? 3- the kitchen was so backed up that my simple order (a frita) took a whole hour. 4- considering my severe state of hunger, I ordered an item called "pig wings" which ended up being en epic fail! The Asian flavor just didn't mesh well with the type of rib cut they used. I took it back, just as I would at any other restaurant yet ended up having to pay for half of it.

Waiting an hour for tacos is absurd when Tuesday night is their Taco Tuesday Special. What made the whole experience worse was when we called over the manger to point out that we had waited that long, instead of apologizing and offering us something, she made a poor excuse. And then I almost fell out of my seat when our waiter asked if we would like to see the desert menu. "Hell no" I wanted to get out of there... Tacos are not exactly fine dining and an hour and a half dinner for mediocre at best tacos is not my idea of grabbing a bite.

Went yesterday (Friday, March 7th) to this establishment. I arrived with my boyfriend at approximately 9p. We were greeted by the hostess at the door. One thing that sort of soured my first impression is that it smells like grease as soon as you walk in. I guess that can be a good thing (they're cooking the food fresh) or bad thing (who wants to smell grease upon walking in). We sat and looked over the menu to see what we wanted to try. I decided on the four taco entree (Taqueria Calle Tacos). I ordered 2 with fish tempura and 2 with the chicken. My boyfriend ordered the Masitas one with the rib eye and one with chicken. The service was on the slow side but I chalked it up to it being packed on a Friday night.The food arrived and it looked delicious. We dug in and enjoyed every bite. The protein was well prepared and was packed with flavor. Also, the other flavors blended well together. Also, the beer and wine selection was extensive for a restaurant of this kind. I can easily say someone can find something they like from the beer and wine menu. I will for sure return to try other things on the menu. Other notes -Our waiter, Kevin, was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was also very attentive.

This is my 3rd time here and the Luster and quality has gone down. I talked up this place before taking a good friend this weekend, but it didn't live up to the Hype I gave it...we ordered the Chunks and Butterflies on the waiters recommendation and the Butterflies were the shrimp which where ehhh. The Shrimp were in that chili sweet sauce(like McDonalds), the Chunks were ripe-eye little pieces, but you can tell they have been sitting a while and were not fresh. Expensive too for an apprizer at $12. Our Waiter seemed to bit pushy with the Frita burger that he was pushing. My wife ordered one, and a guava one, but the waiter kept pushing the Frita burger and also most made her order two of the Frita instead of the Guava one she really wanted. Even at the end of the night, when we said it was good, he was like "see I told you, next time listen to me". My friend and I ordered the Taqueria Calle which is a choice of 4 tacos. I ordered 2 ribeyes, 1 carneasada, and 1 vacafrita, and boy did they disppoint for both of us. I ordered them last time and they were fresh, delious, and memorable. But this time they were dry, not fresh, and something you can get from a taco stand.

Discovered these guys back when they use to be a food truck and fell in love with it. The only hip place in the Westchester / Kendall area where you can get a quality beer along with a great burger or taco! The food is awesome from people that really care about their product. Whatever you order order it with a side of the mango habanero spread on the side or if you think you got the balls for it ask for the Ghost pepper tacos!! Talking about balls their "Balls to the wall" dessert is a must! Love the food, love the atmosphere, honestly it is my personal happy place!! Thank you guys for opening this awesome place near my house!! Now I don't have to drive to Brickell to go to a nice, casual place!!
So...don't ask me why but I gave LHG a 3rd shot...if you want TERRIBLE service give them a visit. Similar to many other reviews, the food tasted great but the service was terrible. My wife and I stood at the bar (which was a mess) we were greeted by multiple people none of which could take our order all of which assured we would be helped in a moment...it was a long moment. We should have got the hint and left then. Instead we ordered drinks followed by food. The drinks came quickly, the food took an hour...mind you, the restaurant was busy but not overflowing...there was a party of 4 that were seated before us and had just started their dinner as we were leaving...I can just imagine how long their food took. Clearly they don't discriminate at LHG...EVERYONE's food takes forever! Sorry LHG but there are far too many other options in Miami for great food accompanied by great service. Practice makes perfect!

Stopped by Latin House this past weekend & can't wait to go back! Everything was so fresh! For starters we ordered the Queso Fondue & Nachos; both delicious! Then I ordered the Chimi Burrito w/ Vaca frita and that was just AMAZING! Hubby had the muffin tops which he raved about. This place is great and so are the prices! Will definitely be back!

I have mixed feelings about this place. While my burger was delicious I am not sure if I will be back. Here is the breakdown: Food: My burger was delicious but what killed it for me were their "fries". Can't believe none of the other reviewers have talked about this. They are not fries at all, hence the quotation marks. They are soggy, greasy, tasteless potato chips. Since when did potato chips start being called fries? They were gross and we did not eat them. I cannot eat a burger without fries to go with it, it is like eating a chocolate chip cookie without milk. Just wrong! The burger was also smaller than I expected and I ordered a second one because I was still hungry. Wait time: While I do appreciate that everything is made to order, we waited about 25 minutes to get our food after we ordered. That seems like 2 hours when you are hungry. Decor: I am not fond of the decor/ atmosphere of this place. While not everyone may care about this point some (like me) do. It seems to me the owners just bought a bunch of random used furniture or some of it was left from a previous tenant and they threw it in there without any kind of thought into the design and flow of the restaurant. The bar is huge and takes up most of the space but was empty. There is a god awful gigantic mural that covers 2 entire walls. What were they thinking with that?! It was distracting me from enjoying my burger b/c it was so ugly. Went to the bathroom and it is old and beat looking, not a thing has been touched since the 80's/ 90's. You can do budget bathroom renovations without spending a lot so there are no excuses for this. Empty old gumball machines outside of the bathroom hallway don't add to the appeal. Bottom line I did really like my burger but if I do eat here again it would probably be takeout and when I am not in any kind of a hurry.

It is a good meal in an area that doesn't have many good restaurants. I like their lettuce wrap tacos. Their soups are also delicious. Their service has been inconsistent. Sometimes it has been average and other times it has been terrible.

Service sucks. Enough to not order dessert and leave in a hurry. It's too bad, honestly the food is great. Our waitress however was acting like she was ignoring our table. Parties seated after us where attended to faster. Hopefully, service is improved. If not there is always takeout. Very disappointed.

Horrible service, waitress came up to our table maybe twice. Food took forever, burger was over cooked, asked if my burger came with French fries they said yes, came with potato chips... Had a horrible experience, wouldn't recommend this place at all!

I get so excited when I see a food truck serving vegetarian food, and lo and behold, Latin House Grill has a wonderful portabella burger for the mushroom lover and anti-meat eater. Not only is it a huge juicy mushroom sauteed and just as unhealthy as a real burger, it's coated in cheeses and caramelized onions. And they serve it up to avoid any messes, neatly wrapped in foil and sliced in half. Perfect for sharing and eating on the go. The wait was a little long, people were complaining. However, I asked in advance how long to expect and it took just about 10 minutes like she said it would. Prices were reasonable, a good $7 for a huge mushroom burger is what I'd expect at a nice burger joint, so nothing to complain about. Definitely will be keeping my eye on this food truck.

Wow we went here about a year ago and I've been bugging my boyfriend to return since but, boy, was I ever disappointed! First things first, the chuchi bowl of rice is as good as ever but hello we're in Miami, I should expect no less! A good bowl of rice isn't particularly hard to find in Miami and Latin House's bowl of rice sure isn't making a lifelong customer out of me - certainly not with their customer service! So my boyfriend finally took me back - for my birthday lunch - after what I can only describe as a decent first time there albeit with excellent food. So we get there at 11-ish am, turns out they don't open until noon - which we didn't know. Well, as I'm pulling on the door handle before realizing this, there is an employee staring right at me just beyond the door who wasn't even kind enough to open the door and let me know or, at the very least, gesture something that would clue me in. So we sat outside and waited for little less than an hour - by far the most highly anticipated letdown of the year. At some point, a young guy clearly dressed as a server walks up to the restaurant so I ask "excuse me, do you work here?" And wouldn't you know it, he just kept walking right past me as if no one said anything at all - and, no, he didn't have headphones on or any other excuse. When we eventually got in the restaurant for lunch, there was the very same server sitting down ever so comfortably waiting for his first table so it wasn't even as if he was in a rush to go do something productive with his time. As soon as we sat down, pumped about my birthday, I started looking over the drink menu. Well, that didn't last long because no sooner than I had picked it up off the table our "server" LITERALLY snatched it out of my hand. Dumbfounded, I looked up only to be told "we don't have anything on that menu." Uhm, excuse me?!?!? What? Come again??? What do you mean you "don't have anything on that menu"? And how do you explain the fact that your hostess JUST sat me down and handed it to me? Nope, no explanations were given, just that they didn't have ANYTHING on that menu. Politely, I say something along the lines of "well, that was also the drink menu did you realize that?" at which point this dimwit of a server (not the same guy who ignored me outside) - whose name I never got because he was never polite enough to tell us, shocker! - said oh yea sorry and gave back the very same menu he had snatched out of my hands a minute earlier. So we order our food and it EASILY took us an hour to receive a chimiburrito, a chuchi bowl of rice, and an order of tacos. I understand that this isn't fast food and it's clearly stated on their menu but I'm sorry the wait is simply not worth it, especially when your server is nowhere to be found the entire hour. Alas, the food FINALLY arrives. Clearly starved, we go to work and are finished eating in roughly 15 minutes. Well, it would be about another 20 before we got our check and 20 more before the server picked up the bill and rang us up. I would love to say that the restaurant was busy but, in fact, it wasn't. Actually, once we set our credit card on the little receipt tray, in plain sight, our server walked by our table about 6-8 times on the way to the table immediately next to us without ever bothering to pick it up and charge us. If we were any other customers, we very well could have walked out the door - and with the amount of time we were waiting to close out our check, let me tell you, I would NOT have been remorseful if we had. It's not like one goes out PLANNING to dine and dash but when your server is not only not interested in charging you but clearly not at all concerned about his tip, there's only so much the customer - and in this case, birthday girl - can put up with. Like I said, we won't be back because the food here simply isn't good enough to justify a 2-hour lunch break or waiting 40 minutes to close out your check. Good riddance, Latin House.

I like Ingrid Hoffman on Food Network and have had wonderful hamburgers all over Latin America so I had high hopes for this restaurant. But hat a disappointment. It was very jarring to be in a restaurant that has Food Network shows going on three tvs in and endless loop while this crap is served up. First, the portions the muffinburger served at lunch for for eight bucks are not burgers they are sliders. Second, I ordered the "Mexican" because I look fresh bold flavors. I got no heat but just a greasy melted mess. Instead of fries you get tasteless chips whose only identifying feature is they curl. The atmosphere is more grunge bar/nightclub then Miami restaurant. Maybe that works at night but during the day, it has a hellish feel. Prices are also very hight for what it is. Place was empty except at lunchtime except for one screaming baby who on his own managed to make the restaurant noisy. I like to write positive or a least balanced reviews. But this place had no redeeming features. I am amazed that Ms. Hoffman would squander her reputation on this place. Not going back!!!!!

I have been to Latin House twice and each time loved the food! Apparently word has been getting around about this place cause it was packed! I absolutely love the funky art work they have all over the walls. It sets a Wynwood feel inside the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. If you are a fan of spicy, order the mango habanero sauce! Its Fire!! I will definitely be back to visit soon.

If you are looking for a light bite... Keep driving. This place serves big food. Perhaps a little too big! The French burger with the unexpected toppings of Brie cheese, almonds and honey is fantastic. It's sweet/salty/crunchy and beefy! I also ordered the pig wings appetizer which was entree sized. The pork was very tender and the glaze was an unusual mix of BBQ and Asian flavors. I would surely come back but need a few friends to help eat everything!

Oh, Latin House. I have hope for you yet. Really, I do. I get it - it's a challenging transition to go from food truck to an actual brick-and-mortar location. The logistics are crazy different. It's a tough gig, my friend. So this review will be without my usual cutting sarcasm (I know, I know...I'm getting soft in my old age) and just focus on some of the bright spots...and well, some areas that could use some polishing up. Now, just to get it on record, I've stopped by LH a total of four times - enough to write a fair review of what's doin' here. Latin House, you could be my go-to neighborhood...almost everything, really. Bar, late night munchies, casual lunch on the go - but you're not quite there. Yet. The food: Fat kid heaven. Just amazing. The succulently meaty pig wings. The juicy Mad Love brimming with a generous heaps of tangled potatoes. Even the health(ier) lettuce wrap tacos with chorizo are chock full of savory, greasy flavor. That is, when you actually have the food in stock. 3 out of my 4 visits, notable items were missing from the menu. And I'm not talking just one or two. We're talking closer to four dishes that we were told "sorry, no can do" on one particular visit. JG: "We'll have the pig wings" LH: "Sorry, we're out." JG: "Ok, well...let's go with the Queso." LH: "Um, we don't have that either." JG: "So....what about the shrimp?" LH: "No, I'm sorry." JG: "Ok, *what* do you have?" LH: "Chips and pico." JG: "Fine. We'll take it." On another visit, they were out of lettuce for the lettuce wraps. Also, chorizo and carne asada options for fillings. Note: this was at 7pm. Still pretty early on in the evening. Service: Spotty, at best. Front of house is what really needs the work here. On two occasions we've had waiters completely save the day for us (one waiter comped us 4 glasses of cider because our order of 1 taco dish and 1 tostada dish had failed to come out after a 50 minute wait - come to find out, the kitchen had "forgotten" our order). On another visit, a waiter went above and beyond to adjust some dishes for us due to food allergies. Good stuff. However, twice we've taken a seat at the bar to wait for our table and on both occasions noticed that hostess had forgotten about us and had started to seat new patrons in available booths. The hubs had to remind her on each occasion that we had been waiting patiently at the bar for her. Beer selection: Strong. Some nice craft selections on draft and a particular big-ups for carrying some amazing cider choices (Fox Barrel!). Also, while the wine list is limited, they're well-chosen bottles that are quite delicious and complex. Look, I'm not looking for any hate mail here. I truly love the food and decor and think you have a potentially amazing thing going here. Just need a couple of tweaks to get this set-up running like the well-oiled machine it deserves to be.

Suck on my chocolate salty balls. A warm fudgy/brownnie style center, surrounded by a warm doughnut layer and then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. See, they even included the delicious money shot for you! These are so ridiculously good, I don't care how ridiculous I look eating it.

It's been 4 months since my initial review. I found myself in the area about lunch time and the place was pretty empty, so I decided to give it another shot. I ordered the smoked Gouda roasted red pepper soup and the fish tacos. The soup was good not great. The fish in the fish tacos were fried not grilled. It's possible the menu said it was fried, but I didn't see that. However, I liked the fish tacos enough to eat 3 of the 4 served. The menu though does make it seem, like you're about to eat something with a lot of different flavors and I didn't exactly get that. Despite all the toppings, it was a little bland. Problem fixed by adding mango habanero hot sauce which was delicious ( I don't know if they make it in house). The service was great. On the whole, the food here isn't bad; it's also not worth the hype. If I were eating it off a food truck, I'd probably think its the best thing in the world, but for a sit down restaurant it's alright. Wouldn't be opposed to going back if I were in the area again.

I had high hopes for this restaurant.. i used to like getting their food truck fare like everyone else. But again like I've been seeing in more and more reviews... it's definitely gone downhill. Where to begin... So I brought my hubby in to finally try them out since I had a great time on Cinco de Mayo there with a friend. Plus, he loves beer and I do have to give them, they have a good draft selection. They also have a nice decor, the whole lighting situation they've got going on is neat.But that's about it.. again back to the review... So we walked in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We walk in and we are the only ones there. sign said to wait to be seated. Servers and staff walked by, chatted with other staff and we just stood there pretty idiotically when we literally could have sat anywhere, and of coarse was what was told to us by the server once he got around to it. Here's another big issue which ticks me off, the server didn't know a lick of English. yea yea, I'm Cuban and I love the cultural hub that is Miami, but my husband doesn't know Spanish and this guy barely understood me when I was talking Spanish... i didn't know what his deal was but anywho... We ordered the calamari "blossoms" b/c it looked so cool from one of many pictures that chef M posts on Facebook. Let me just say... the most disappointing plate of calamari I've ever seen. Such a small serving, we ate it in 3 minutes.. for I think it was $14 dollars! What a rip. Chef M, please go to ANY other restaurant..Town, City Hall, Yard House, hell, even Redfish Grill which is a fine dining restaurant, serves awesome calamari and NOT for so much $$. Please people, pass on the calamari, you'll be sorely underwhelmed. Next we decided to share the chimiburrito with vacafrita. Apparently my half of this greasy thing barely had any shreds of meat.. lots of cheese and lots of rice. NOT Happy, I yearned for more meat, sad even.. But the biggest insult... the bill. Mind you, we had 2 beers, SHARED an app and SHARED the burrito. Over $40?! Yea, they even charged EXTRA for using vaca frita instead of whatever other meat. A burrito for $14? Your out of your mind "chef M". FYI, you can get a big plate of vacafita at _____________ (insert any cuban restaurant) for $9-$12 including rice, beans, maduros... pft! I feel bad for the negative review, but it is what it is... If I ever go again, I'll stick to the burger.. just make sure you ask for the temp, cuz they'll give you an overcooked medium well if you leave it to them.

As I sit here waiting almost 1 hour for my 4 tacos I wonder how this place is even surviving. We questioned the waiter why it was taking so long and we were informed that since there are 2 tables with more than 4 people that got here ahead of us, their food has priority (I was with 1 other person). Apparently the chef or cook cannot concentrate on more than 1 table order at a time. To make it worse there is a lady at the bar ALONE that has been waiting even LONGER than we have for her food. Really? Plus no manager no duty to apologize for the ridiculous wait time. It's my first time here, and even if those tacos make me orgasm I will probably never come back.... That is if I even get served my tacos!!!!

After being a huge fan of the food truck, I was excited to try LHBTB's new Sunset locale, and it did not disappoint. So much so that I came twice in one week! The first time was for a lunch date with the boo. We shared the chips and pico as an appy and the grilled chimi burrito (stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, vaca frita and topped with guacamole and crema). This thing was HUGE - I got to talk half of my half home to have for lunch the next day! The second time I came, my fam and I ordered the queso with chorizo dip. I would have preferred that it was more queso-y and creamy and not as chock full of chorizo, but it was delicious nonetheless. For my main entree I opted for the Mad Love Cuban burger (topped with guava and queso blanco) and the tangled fries. So much noms in this plate, I could hardly contain myself.. so I didn't. My family and I shared the balls to the wall for dessert (fried brownie balls drizzled with condensed milk and powdered sugar). It was awesome, but they weren't fried all the way (still some gooey batter left over). The service both times was great, albeit a bit slow the second time around; however, it WAS a Saturday and burgers do take longer to cook, so there were no complaints from me. The parking is easy as pie, as there's a HUGE lot to accommodate guests. WIll definitely come back!

5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. definitely not 5 stars, but not terrible, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait. It's always tempting to order a burger (they are delicious), but it's probably best to go with the Chimi Burrito or a Chuchi Bowl of Rice with carne asada. You can't go wrong with either one.

There were a couple of things deterring me from Latin House Burger. 1. It says "Latin". I hate that term. I'm not even going to get into it. Also, apart from the dude that's preparing your food, and about 90% of the patrons, I don't think there's anything Latin about this place. Their menu offers a variety of cultural flavors and is not limited to spickiness. They should rename the restaurant and call it International House of Burgers and Tacos. They should also relocate next to the International House of Pancakes and piss them off. Then when you tell people you're going to IHOB, they think you have a speech impediment. 2. It's in Kendall. 3. It's a food truck, and food trucks travel to you. Thanks to Groupon, I took my culinary explorations down south, and west, and now that I've tried it, I'd definitely come back for some burgerdome -- IF I'm in the area.

I have been here once and had purchased from the food truck previously. This is one of those controversial reviews for me. My wife likes it and other people I know love the place but I really feel its a bit hype. Having gone to many places in MIami and abroad, this place and its food is average to above average. Most of what I ate was greasy and the prices are too high for the kind of food they serve. Did I like the food, yes. A 3 out of 5 for me. Did I think it was worthy of a revisit? Not really. The staff is nice but there are too many of them and they "stumble" over each other. The interior is loud, and even though everything is relatively new in regards to decor, it does not have a well thought out theme or vibe. Its a mish mash of style. Its one of those places that you'll like or won't. Would I recommend it... sure give it a try there are a lot of people who love it. I think they will be more successful if they lower their prices, find their identity.

You know that saying "curiousity killed the cat," well my husband and I drive west on Bird Rd often and kept seeing LHG's food truck. Like typical Miamians, we were curious/nosey and wanted to see if this truck was any good. Unbeknownst to us, this was the first day to a new way of living. (And so curiousity did NOT kill us :) We were immediately LHG fans 'fo lyfe' after our first taste of their Ribeye Flatton. It was bursting with latin flavor!!! Everything from the soft flatbread to the flavorful ribeye to the delicious sauces, soooooo good. From that moment on I made it my duty to share this food truck with EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE. My personal favorites are the Ribeye puffy flatton (Flatbread stuffed with Ribeye topped with pico de gallo and their yummy sauces), the french muffin top (slider topped with slivered almonds, honey and brie!), the coconut shrimp tacos (the balance of sweetness, crunchy texture and latin flavor is absolutely divine), the chimiburrito (A deep fried burrito stuffed with Chuchi's famous yellow rice, your choice of protein, sweet plantains, three types of cheeses), and of course their balls to the wall (rich brownie battered, deep fried then served with a drizzle of condensed milk). My husband and I have been faithful LHG stalkers since the beginning and I am so thankful for Chuchi, Michell and Bella for sharing their flavors with the streets of South Florida! Not only do you experience great food but you experience top notch customer service! :) LHG FTW!!!!!!!

Ok the food is amazing! Those chimichanga burritos (carne asada) are insane with the lime avocado sauce. Aged gouda red pepper soup, enough said! And well the muffin tops are a must (try all the mini versions). And everything is available in light version (but if not an every week stop then go for the full fat plate). Only thing is they are stingy with everything ie. charge for any sauce, fries on side of your plate instead of on plate they charge as a side?!? And they do not believe in mustard! and yes, staff/seating/host, subpar- but hey itsa food truck gone stripmall! Good tuesday taco specials and locals kareoke specials! and cant forget, the balls to the wall! Caution, so good!

I drive by this place almost every day and I've been meaning to check it out since it opened. Finally I did. Not all spin-offs are as successful as the original and many are not successful at all. Take Joey from Friends, After M*A*S*H or Joanie loves Chachi, all awful spin-offs of very successful shows. Then there are The Simpsons, Frasier, and now the Latin House Grill. A spin-off of the original food truck, this is probably the best new restaurant in the Kendall area. As soon as I entered the place I liked it. The decor is very modern and I'm a sucker for uncovered roof, exposed air ducts and hanging light bulbs. Makes me feel like I'm hanging out in a loft in midtown Manhattan. The place was a little busy but we were seated within 5 minutes. The menu is intense. Not large but full of great choices. Everything looked delicious. Also the beer selection is pretty good. We started with the Carne con queso. Spicy but not overly, creamy, and with a subtle hint of lime, it was delicious and the tri-colored tortilla chips were a nice touch. As entrees I had the Chimi-Burrito with carne asada, a pile of deliciously season rice, tons of carne asada, lathered on crema mexicana, guacamole and cheese all wrapped up in a corn tortilla and the......(drum roll).... flash fried. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! First of all, the thing is huge (I know....THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID). I saved half for lunch next day plus you need space for desert, believe; you want dessert. The burrito is delicious, and the flash fry makes the tortilla crisp to the bite but dissolves in your mouth. I have never tried a burrito like this but from now on my burritos must be flash fried. My girlfriend had the Grilled Flatton with rib-eye. The tenderness of the meat, the taste, and boy that avocado-lime sauce is incredible. For dessert we had the Balls to the Wall with Ice cream, of course. Two perfectly round balls of sugary fried dough filled with a mixture of chocolate and condensed milk, with a ball of creamy vanilla ice cream all surrounded by more condensed milk, now that is a way to finish the meal. Now here is the one negative thing and I have to talk about it because a lot of reviewers seemed to have had the same issue. SERVICE!!! Eventhough our server was very helpful and took our order pretty quick, our drinks and our appetizer came out pretty quick, our dinner took a bit long. It could have been a kitchen problem because around that time started to get busy but our server did not help much. He was a bit slow and at times he look like a chicken running with his head cut off. Even the group next to us asked us if our food had taken too long. I do like the fact that the owners came around a few times but please understand that good food is only going to take so far. Eventually the service must be improved. Especially when so many people seemed to agree. This still a great place even with the spotty service. My suggestion is, be patient.

Ordered take out from here with the girls from work a few months back and it was fantastic! I got the puffy flatton with cilantro lime chicken, and while the chicken tasted like neither, the entree itself was sinfully delicious. Came to eat in for the first time this past Thursday, which happened to be karaoke night, but I digress. When we arrived, the dining room was pretty empty. Our party of five was seated at a table in the middle, but we were asked to move just as our drinks arrived as they had a party of twenty (eek) about to arrive. Of course I happened to be reading the yelp reviews at the same moment I hear about the monstrously-sized party, and quite the handful of people have bemoaned the service while having a large party being served at the same time, citing the larger parties taking precedence over the smaller. My first thought was "oh sh@!", naturally. However, I was pleasantly surprised - we didn't seem to take the backseat to anyone, our food arrived fast and the order correct. We did, however, have to flag down a waiter for refills, but not a huge deal. The food in house was absolutely fantastic. My sons (4 & 5) both demolished and obliterated two sliders a piece. They stated they were the best burgers they'd ever had. I had my same puffy flatton, and my husband had the same except with carne asada. We usually have leftovers wherever we go. But not here! Between my boys and husband, everyones plates were cleaned. All in all, a great experience. We'll definitely be back! For those who say it is pricey, it is no more expensive than your typical chain (Chili's/Fridays) and the food is WAY better.

Delish food! I have even there several times since opening...ad everything has improved, so give them another chance. The food is amazing. Everything from burgers to tacos to my new favorite the carne asada flatton. And make sure you save room for dessert--balls to the wall!!! If they have the appy special of guacamole--get it! Great flavor. Chef M and his team are doing a great job and Lov having another food option in the area

I was at a festival and came across this place. I didn't actually order anything myself, but had a taco and a bit of burger from Ginas plate. yep... i'm a pig and don't dare dangle food in my face, i'll bite your fingers! But it wasn't the burger or taco that was anything special... but the mango habanero sauce. it was out of this world!!!!! I'm in desperate need of a recipe... or can you buy this stuff in store. I WANT MORE!!!

I will never go anywhere near this place ever again. I'd been there before and had sketchy service, but tonite took things to a whole other level. My friend arrives before me with her special-needs son. When I walk in the door, there is water spilled all over their table, dripping onto her son and the floor. When I asked what happened, my friend said they put the water down in front of her son, and he accidentally knocked it over...5 minutes before. There were managers and staff standing around and no one was helping her clean it up....and there were no napkins anywhere to help her. A young man who works there comes over with a bottle of spray and a rag, puts them on the table and walks away, cleaning NOTHING. And the water continues to drip everywhere. I grabbed a napkin from the hostess stand and try to stem the tide. Not one person came to help me. The other customers were staring in disbelief. We got up, gathered her very hungry son and walked out. No one approached us or apologized. Let me not forget to mention there were a bunch of empty tables, and people waiting at the door. I have NEVER seen anything like that in my life. This was my birthday dinner. This is where I picked to go. The funny(?) part is, right before i left my house, I was reading the YELP reviews about the service and thought to myself "no place can be THAT bad". I was wrong. It was WORSE. They need to go back to what they did right..the food truck. THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER!!! ***Just an update~ The owner did reach out to me and we spoke at length about what happened and she asked how she could make it right. I asked if she could call my friend and apologize, which she did. That was classy. She did offer to buy us dinner. We have not yet been back. I'll keep you posted.***

Dear owner of Latin House, I had a terrible experience here last night! When we first got there they told us 30-45 minute wait when clearly there were several available tables (i guess this place is understaffed and can't keep up with the volume of people? I don't know) but we waited and we were sat around the 35 minute mark. We then placed our drink order and our appetizer order and main meal order. We got our drinks in a timely matter (decent selection of craft beers) but the app did not come out for almost an hour. The waitress constantly assured us our main food would be out soon...soon turned out to be, after patiently waiting for a total of TWO HOURS, "I'm sorry but the kitchen seems to have lost your order...." WHAT?!?!? lost our order?! Why did the app come out then? The waitress then re-took our order and promised to comp our drinks. 25 minutes later, we get our food which was mediocre at best, a little salty and then to be absolutely critical the fries were cold. (which means they have a dysfunctional kitchen with major timing problems) To top it off, the waitress couldn't comp our drinks but did comp our app which was also a huge disappointment due to the price difference! I was a really patient and understanding customer and when mistakes happen, you, "Latin House", needs to make the negative experience into a positive one and yet you failed on every chance to make it right. I don't even know how express what a total letdown this was. It's sad because i really try to support local business and avoid chain restaurants but when it all boils down to quality control and getting it right. My group at the end wished we had gone to Beer & Burger Joint (chain) . You lost, what could have been a loyal customer. PS. Hire more people please, i think you have enough volume to afford it. At least bring out chips or something (you are a taco bar) to keep the customer entertained until the food arrives 2 hours later.

Omg, this is a dangerous place to have right next door to where I work. They have such a great menu with different foods! I always end up getting the "chimi burrito" which always ends up being way to much food. It's basically a big burrito stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, protein of choice, and cheese and then fried.....basically a heart attack in a plate. I've also tried the clam chowder and lobster bisque bread bowl soups.... Both were awesome! They have a pretty good beer selection as well. My favorite is the Andygator, strong beer with a light taste! I've also tried the purple haze which is way lighter but still good. I love the industrial look to it and the staff is always so friendly! During one of my many visits (lol) the owner came to our table to make sure everything was good. This makes me feel good about spending my money on such unhealthy food!

All I can say is: nom, nom, nom nom nom! I hate to admit this but I had never tried their food truck when they drove around. But came here one day to catch up with my cousin. We both ordered the burrito and omg it is HUGE! Yes Luis S. may be on to something about the gigantic portions but it is up to the customer if they want to eat the whole thing. Personally, it was too much for me so I took some home so I can have lunch for work the next day. Our burrito was out of this world! Defienitely something I have never tried before with plantains inside the burrito. The beer selection is awesome! And service is the best. They always came around to make sure that we were doing good.

Beautiful decor!! But worst customer service!!! Went last night the waitress sit us down, we wait like 10 minutes abd then another waitress ask us who gave you the menu??? We are close you dont see the open sign is off?? I think that was very rude basically she kick us out ... So dissapointed!!! The food looks yummi but i think latin burger needs to hire more respectful staff :(

Should be 5 stars except for the service. I have been to the Latin House around 6 times since it opened. As for the food, everything has been great - Burgers - awsome - Tacos - 4 tacos with your choice of protein including vaca frita, shrimp and the usuals - Soups - Big and great tasting. Lobster bisque in a bread bowl. - Great beer selection on tap (Blue moon in a fresh cold glass with an orange slice every serving) The only issue is the service. I can't say why it is hit or miss every time I go. It is worth the trouble, since the service can be much worse and the food is way too good.

Fries... Curly and tangled. Taste like savory morsels of crispy deliciousness. Libation... over 20 non-traditional brews to choose from. If you're lady doesn't like beer (like mine), try the Angry Orchard apple, it's a yummer! The original burger... was on point! Mushrooms were soft, but the star of the show were the caramelized onions. Shout out to John F. (our server) for an excellent virgin experience!

Wow! Can not believe it took me a few weeks to finally get to try Latin House, but I'm so excited I did because it is by far the best new restaurant in the Kendall area...I'd even list it as one of Miami's best newest restaurants. We ordered the following: -Appetizer: Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. Between the two of us, we ate about half of the dish and that's cause we were stuffing our faces. It's plenty for 4 people and it only costs $8.99 -Entrees: 1) Chimi Burrito w/Carne Asada @ 13.99 and 2) 2 Muffin Tops (French and Western @ 10.99) Okay, let me just say that we decided to get 2 entrees so that we could get a taste of the food and plus, our waitress recommended it. She was very friendly and offered many suggestions...and dang she was right b/c we didn't try anything we didn't love. So first, the Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. OMG! I'm not sure if all the loads of Chorizo meat gave these loaded skinny fries the "it" factor, but the whole dish, including the pico de gallo, and avocado-lime were to-die-for. I could eat this everyday. This hands-down beats any "loaded" nachos anywhere else that lack meat, cheese etc.. Next, we took one look at the Chimi Burrito and our jaws dropped. Because we had the other 2 burgers, we decided to only eat half the burrito, which was just enough. (Heck once we finished the 2 Muffin Tops, we were stuffed). Anyways, the burrito, which also came with skinny string fries, was very flavorful. The tortilla was very crunchy (maybe fried?) and the filling was just so full of carne asada, queso, rice, and plantains! Loved the flavor on this dish as well... And finally, we made it to the 2 Muffin Tops, which are basically small burgers. NO - not sliders, bigger! The beef patty is a 1/4 pounder so 2 Muffin Tops between 2 people is perfect. The French was just so yummy. We love brie cheese and almonds so this burger was just perfect. And the Western was well, your typical juicy burger with a good amount of BBQ sauce on top of an onion ring. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert...Next time... OH did I mention they have a very good selection of craft beers. A+ And to top it off, a waiter came after us (once we had left the restaurant) to return a $10 bill we had inadvertently dropped at our booth. We were so happy with everything & this kind of honestly that we told him to keep the bill & split it w/the waitress. Good job guys! Keep it up!

Came into the restaurant with big expectations. What a disappointment! Starting w/ the overpriced chips and pico de gallo and moving right along to the Calle tacos. Imagine the disappointment when my hubby was served 4 tiny (3 inch) tacos that looked like a meal for my 10 year old son. The shrimp quesadilla appetizer was Overflowing with cheese, perhaps 2 large shrimp, and a few of the tiniest shrimps I have ever seen! Oh and by the way if you choose Carne asada as your "protein" of choice just be aware that you will be charged an extra $2. If you decide to visit, you better hope they do not have a party because if they do you will have to wait until the party group gets their food before you are served. Even if you arrived BEFORE the party! What a disappointing $85 meal... And that's without dessert or drinks!!! Will not return.

With the sudden proliferation of food trucks in Miami, LHG still holds a dear place in my heart and tummy. It still remains as one of the better food trucks out there and one of the best when it comes to burgers. When I saw their menu they had several items that were teasing me but alas, I went with their recommendation of the sliders- and I was glad I did! I went with their recommendation of their best sellers: French, Mexican, and Italian. They are small but they pack a ton of meat, and more importantly, flavor. The French is by far the BEST one on that menu. At first I thought: "Honey and almonds in my burger? Are they crazy!" One bite and I thought they were indeed crazy...crazy good!!! The subtle sweetness from the honey is the perfect compliment to the meat and the almonds give it the perfect crunchy texture. The Mexican was another favorite of mine. The wonderful taste of the cilantro came through perfectly and wasn't masked by anything else. On the other hand, the Italian was the least of my favorites when compared with the rest- it didn't have the same flavor profiles the other ones did. All in all, LHG delivered and has been consistently doing so. Just one bite is all it'll take to make you become a lifetime stalker...it did for me!

AMAZING. Food was filling and delicious for a reasonable price. The service was great and very respectful. Appetizer, entree, or dessert, you will not be disappointed here. Best nachos ever, chips weren't too salty and they packed it with meat and extras. Then the chimichanga was my favorite and would go back in a heartbeat! I hope this restaurant is here to stay and grows! Good luck and support this place. One of the best in a while!

Now the truck has grown up and become a full blown restaurant. Was there with both my older kids a few weeks ago. The place ROCKS! The look is like the love child of sleek sexy Scan Design and Bad Ass Cholo. When you walk in the front door you HAVE to look at the incredible mural to your right - sugar skull feme fetal! The food has gotten even better. What was once in limited quantity now is plentiful and all you need to do is ask! The service was great, the place is beautiful and the food incredible. We ordered a Puffy Flatton with vaca frita, Mad Love burger and Taqueria Calle Tacos (fish, chicken, vaca frita). I had trouble choosing a beer - there are so many that I must return to try them all! Still great food but now a great place to take the family, watch a game or sample chef's specials like the Tomahawk Steak that the thought of is making me drool.
I think my expectations were just entirely too high for this place. I realize they had just opened a couple of weeks before I visited, but it was kind of a mess. We were told we would have a 20 minute wait to be seated, yet the place was half empty. During our meal, staff made continual errors with our orders and drinks would take eons to get to us. In fact, one of them never made it and we had to tell them to remove it from our bill. The food itself was great - just like the truck. However, I found it to be a little overpriced - especially the appetizers. The decor was really nice and it had a cool vibe, I just don't really think I'll be going back as frequently as I anticipated.

They may have been a wonderful food truck, but the restaurant SUCKS! Save your money. Taco Bell and Burger King taste better. Inexperienced wait staff - Deer in the Headlights! No liquor - they just got their license so the kegs were warm. WONDERFUL! BUT, Hey! There was no shortage of water. Great ,if you are trekking through the desert. I won't be giving them a second chance at my hard earned money.

We came on Food Truck Night, Which I can remember which night it was (I want to say Monday?) After sitting down we were given the menus and our server let us know of the Food Truck Sampler that had all their food truck options as samples. We went ahead and orders those. We waiting a little while not too long at all. Once the food came out it was Great! 1st thing i grabbed and bit into was the carnitas taco wow the flavor was on point! then I tried the half cut burrito that came in the box and it was to my sweet surprise, sweet and salty! they had a fried sweet plantain in my fried burrito!? Hold the phone "Amazing" I loved the flavor combination! I'd come back to this place any time but saving it for "Cheat night" the Food is Heavy Awesome! Oh and about the service, we had no issues at all everything was fast and great even spoke with the owner who was behind the bar. Great food, service and decor. As I said will definitely come back.

All I gotta say is I'm in a love with a food truck she poppin, she rollin, she rollin. I've pretty much tried everything on the menu. I like them all. I got a soft spot for the sneaky chicken nachos. Its so good, so I always order them with a mad love. The tacos and flatons are good. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Lastly , their "balls to the wall" will get you balls to the wall. Seriously this little concoction (deepfried battered brownie) is heavenly. The taste reminds me of tempura ice-cream, the ice cream being substituted by a brownie. Next time I get the "balls to the wall" I will make sure to bring some ice-cream because "balls to the wall" + ice cream (cookies and cream for me) = Epic mouth explosion.

Today was my second visit here. It was not at all like my first visit. The first time we came, we sat at the bar and was greated by a server Jose. He was great. We asked what he recommended. Being our first time here and all. He said "Do not eat the tacos. Have a burger. They are all great". So we orderd The Originial and The Western. Both were great it was awsome. Jose was social. We had a great time. Now today. Not so good. We sat at the bar again. It took about ten minutes for somene to take our order. We asked for Dos Equis. It was flat. It took another 10 minutes for our appetizer, Sneaky Nachos. Which were really good by the way. Then another 15 minutes for food to arrive. We ordered the French Burger and a LHG Torta. So good. The food is great here, do not get me wrong. But the service today was just awful. I will come back to taste another burger. I just hope that the service will be different.

This has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had! Not only are they slow, but dirty, and have no regard for customer service what so ever. Lets start from the beginning... 3 couples at the door...waiters walking by...bartendar looking at us and no one even greeted any of us...finally 10 min into it a very slow hostess appears. She walks us to a table that was still dirty and literally brushes off the table with her hand unto the floor. The guy "sweeping" walked by the trash over and over again. The food took forever, they ran out of string fries and started inventing another type. So we had two different fries on the plate. My glass of water was empty for I dont know how long when I asked the waiter for water and hot sauce...he took over 10 minutes where my fiance had to get up and get it for me, and again no one wondered why we were literally serving ourselves. The food got cold waiting for the hot sauce. And when again we got up to get boxes to go...eventually the waiter asked if everything was ok. When we mentioned everything all he said was yes I understand very bad service, you dont have to tip me if you dont want. Really?! No apology, let me bring the manager. I so wish yelp had half star ratings! The food is definitely not worth the hassle. I wouldn't bother giving them another try.

The service is terrible and the owner is a dick. Food taste good but extremely over priced and they don't serve enough on a plate. If your the type of person who eats more than a mouse and don't like to be talked down to, then stay away from this restaurant.

I reeeeaalllllyyy liked this place. I have only visited once so far, but I will definitely be back. The Sneaky Nachos with Carne Asada were wonderful, not too heavy with the toppings (I hate it when nachos are so smothered with crap that you can't even see the tortilla chips). I had a Bulgarian Burger- mouth watering good. Drinks are limited to beer and wine. When we asked if sangria was available, our server said she would make some for us, which was actually very nice and refreshing. Beer selection was solid. We will definitely be back. Great service, great food.

I Like.... a LOT I was already a fan of the truck and the food at the restaurant is also really good! Sweet shrimp and carnitas appetizer was very tasty. The day we went they had some cocktail shrimp swimming in a tangy, limey pico de gallo which was pretty darn good... one complaint: The picture on the flyer had avocado and our dish had none, not that it mattered much since we ate every bite of that thing like it was our last meal before Armageddon, but I'm sure it would've been even better with a little aguacate in there... The tacos had this amazing avocado lime sauce....and the little muffin top burgers really hit the mark, not overly dressed, but just enough to impress... My favorite: French... brie and almonds = Awesome! And lastly but not leastly, the tap beer selection is pretty vast.... can't wait to go back and try them all.... We showed up at an off time and the place was rather quiet, everything was served quickly and and our server was awesome... I'll be back - many, many times

Once you try LHG goodness,.. you WILL become a "food stalker"... you'll join their facebook,. their twitter and follow every blog that mentions their name... I realized their food was Gold that when waiting for the Mad Love Burger, 2 City of Miami Paramedic Trucks and a Fire Engine pulled up to order... these guys have their own posse! Mad Love Burger. Layered w/Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, mushrooms, caramelized onions, I opted for the habanero mango sauce and was topped with these amazing crispy po-ta-toes confetti..... it looked so beautiful...(happy tears)... Held together nicely throughout the meal. The Chimi Burrito was Gianormous!... I opted for the ribeye but minus the egg. This one might get messy, so grab a fork and dive in. Im a big guy with a ferocious appetite, but with this burrito I did not stand a chance. I recommend as an order for 2... Much lighter if ordered w/ chicken. I will next try the Puffy Flatton, Chicken Soft Taco or Cabo Wabo Fish Tacos and CHUCHI RICE!!!! Currently, their International sliders are what's popping. Great people & food.

This is simply where it's at. After trying the perfection know as the "MadLove" Burger and their "Sneaky" Nachos, I've come to the conclusion that Latin House Grill is the best food stand/truck in Miami. The burger is cooked to order, topped with grilled onions and mushrooms, plus fresh avocado, made to order. It is then topped with three different cheeses, and a bundle of crispy string fries. The bun is warmed up on the grill, and only adds to the amazing-ness of the whole ordeal. On top of all those delicious add-ons, you have a huge selection of sauces, ranging from mango-habanero, to jalapeño-cilantro. This huge burger runs about $7.00, but it surely gets the job done. They also offer tacos, nachos, burritos, and "flatton" (not sure what that is). I tried the nachos and they were excellent. The meat on them is hot off the grill, and then topped with two (or three?!) types of cheese. Great stuff here, too, with all the fixings you need/want. If Latin House Grill is in your area, be sure to give them a call, or follow them on Twitter/Facebook, for one of the best lunch/dinners of your life. The only downside is that it is cash only, so bring dollars and cents before you head out (they are working on putting out a credit card system soon). The owners/employees are super nice, and the service is always extremely fast. I don't know what else I could ask for. Maybe if the truck came with a beer dispenser? Just kidding, Latin House Grill is one of my favorite spots at the moment. Mango-habanero sauce ftw (for the win)!

Came here for lunch to try somewhere new. All around it was a good experience. Our waiter was excellent. Regrettably I don't remember his name but I was impressed with his service. Very knowledgeable on the menu. Made recommendations when we were unsure about the meat option for the food ordered. Always had a new drink brought to the table when he saw it starting to get low. Checked up on us during our meal. Just fabulous. Haven't had service this good from a server in a while and we eat out A LOT! The menu was interesting. There is a variety of appetizers to chose from. We had their nachos with Vaca Frita as our meat. Fire! They were delicious. The cheese had a little zing to it too. The waiter said it was one of their best appetizers and I really liked it. I had the tacos. 4 come in one order so I had 2 carne asada and 2 chicken. Very delicious. My hubby ordered from the burger menu which was interesting. You can order 2 burgers and it comes out to the same price as the big burger they have. One of the burgers he ordered (was modeled after Elvis) and had the meat patty, pb and j and platano maduro. He says it was delicious! The one thing on the menu we didn't have was dessert. However the dessert I want to try is called balls to the wall. If you go and you like sweets try this. The description alone will make your mouth water! Another thing I liked was that it is spacious. The tables aren't one on top of the other like most places. We have a little one and a stroller sometimes does not fit well in some establishments. It feels uncomfortable or its in the way. That wasn't a problem here. This really added to our experience because comfort is a big deal. We will definitely be coming back!

My boyfriend and I recently tried Latin House Grill and we loved it. I had the chimi burrito, which has chimi flavored rice, sweet plantains, and a choice of meat (I chose chicken). My boyfriend had the Cuban burger, which is topped with white cheese and guayaba marmalade. We wanted to try other items on the menu because they look so interesting, but we just became too full. We definitely will return!

I cannot express how amazing the food was! For starters believe it or not I'm not a huge fan of burgers. You'll find me having one possibly once a month (when i'm craving it). It had been a week that I had been craving one and really wanted to make it count. Boy did I make the right choice! As you walk in the ambiance is casual and hipster. I loved that all the TV's had the food network on! Our waiter was so friendly and helpful with everything on the menus and as i started to read it i automatically realized I needed to come back! Everything sounded so good and I was determined to have a burger, but the burritos.... i need to come back. First, they have a wonderful selection of beer and local beer. I love restaurants that support what is happening in the community. One of my favorites is Funky Buddha Miami. We ordered for appetizer these fried cheese bites that are dipped in guava whoa! the flavors and texture explodes in your mouth. I realized afterwards that we had desert before the meal! it was perfect though. As for my burgers... i decided I couldn't pick one so you can order two sliders (which are quite big and definitely filling). The French (with honey glazed almonds!) and a traditional American (my craving). The thickness and juiciness was out of this world! It was perfectly cooked and all the flavors were spectacular. I highly recommend that you try this place believe me it's amazing! And I'll make sure to update my review on my next trip.

Spent $20 with tip and left hungry. My friend and I had the calamari platter and shrimp to share. The service was not bad, but not great. I saw some people with larger portions, but ours was small and not worth the price. We were not offered the lunch special (just saw that they have this on their site). The $13 calamari was a bit chewy. The more disappointing part was the shrimp, possibly 5 shrimps with garnish and was $13. NOTE: I also just saw on "tips" that kids eat free(Called to confirm and they said this is true) I took my child - three year old, and I was not offered this deal. My daughter had already eaten, so no big, but still, not worth a mention?

Finally was able to try this place out with my wife. After seeing it on the triple d's show and it was well worth it. The waiter Jorge was very good waiter and knew the menu really good and was very helpful and informative about the items he told us that they only use fresh items all the time that is why they run out of items at times. Which sucks but is really good too. The madlove shrimp was delicious. My wife has the masitas which look really good and were amazing and my self I had the chimi burrito which was incredible and huge, I was able to have the other half for dinner. Definitely glad we checked this place out and can't wait to return.

This place is or was just "hype". I've been a few times and each experience isn't too pleasant. The service is horrible, both times, and the food is nothing special. It looks like a cool funky menu, but it's not great food. AND they give you these LAME chips as your side, like really?

Good service, nice bright atmosphere and not to mention the burgers are fantastic. The food is priced fairly also. Triple win for in my book for Latin house!

My husband, daughter and I went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm. We walked in and there were a few tables' worth of people sitting outside waiting for tables. We asked how long it would take to get a table for two adults and one child and the hostess told us it would take 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, we saw approximately 8 unoccupied tables. We decided to wait a while and get a beer from the bar during the wait. The bar is more of a food bar than one for alcohol in the way that it is set up, including that it seems that the bar serves beer and wine only. The beer includes local brews from Wynwood Brewery. After standing at the bar for a few minutes, we decided to order chicken nachos to eat while we waited. We watched as more tables opened and sat empty while people, including us, continued waiting for tables. We saw two seats open at the bar and sat down to eat our nachos. We were not impressed by the nachos, including that we thought it was pretty gross that the cheese seemed like some type of premade yellow cheese like Velveeta. After we watched tables sit open for about 30 minutes and still had not been told a table was available for us, we decided to order our meals at the bar. Incredibly, about 15 minutes later the hostess came up and said a table was ready for us. At that point we had been there about 45 minutes and had watched as many tables sat open and available for the duration of our wait. We were so glad we had decided to stay at the bar to eat. I ordered the lettuce wraps with shrimp, which were very tasty, although I wasn't really sure why they came with a few slices of carrot in the middle of the plate - they seemed kind of out of place. We ordered the taco kids meal for my daughter with beef and chicken. The tacos literally consisted of tortilla, cheese and meat - no vegetables whatsoever, which was disappointing since she would probably have eaten any veggie inside of her tacos. They came with rice. The service in the bar area was fine and we found that most of the service staff were friendly. Overall, though, we were not impressed. While some of the food was really good, most of it was nothing great. The really big disappointment in our experience was the issue with people waiting for tables while tons of tables sat open and available, coupled with the fact that the hostesses underestimated by 15 minutes how long they would make us wait for a table (despite the fact that many sat open that entire time). If the restaurant was short staffed then the hostesses should have told us that we could sit at a table but it may take a while to be attended to, but just making us wait for a table for 45 minutes with a two year old while plenty of tables sat empty was totally ridiculous.

Delicious! Had the special of the day as an appetizer, $3 Pork Slider with French Fries. The pulled bbq pork is very tender, juicy and flavorful. Quite the hit! I ordered: 4 soft tacos: 2 lime chicken and 2 carnitas. All delicious and very flavorful. They don't skimp out on the protein either. They go very heavy on the raw onions FYI. OK service! Our girl could have been better at explaining their $3 Pork Slider special that already comes with fries and how easily one can get stuffed with that alone! Well at least for me. We had ordered one for each person at the table. SMH! Portions are generous and great for family casual dining.
Been to Latin House twice now..... First time.....came here for lunch They had a special for $3 sliders.. I ordered: -vaca frita and pulled pork sliders: The sliders were amazing! I was very surprised by how good they were..... very.... I was even more pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat in the sliders. Sliders are obviously smaller than actual burgers, but they were jam packed with meat. Very dense little guys. I will order these again next time I go and definitely recommend them. Awesome value! -ribeye tacos- These were decent. I would rate these 3 or 4 stars. -1/2 pound madlove The Original. The burger was awesome... can't describe it any better than that. - balls to the wall (dessert)- damnn these were frickin good... brownie balls covered in funnel cake batter with the little side of condensed milk... Highly recommend these! Second time at Latin House... - Timba: Fried cheese squares with a guava sauce. It's fried cheese, it can only taste awesome. The guava sauce is sweet and complements the salty fried cheese. This was a good dish, I'd order it again, no doubt. -Carne Con Queso: This one I wasn't as impressed with. I'd rate a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's melted cheese with a couple chunks of carne asada in the bottom. You dip with nachos. Wouldn't order them again. -** The Elvis Burger: Damn this burger was amazing... starts off with a super flavorful burger patty... it has a 3 cheese blend on top, and what I like is that they put plenty of cheese!! I love that they load up their burgers. On the bottom of the burger they layer grape jelly, peanut butter, and sweet plantains. Easily 5 out 5. -Champ & Mexican: Also had a bite of these burgers. The people who I came with ate them and they were also very satisfied with the quality of the burgers. **I have ONE COMPLAINT about Latin House. I ordered the balls to wall again, this time with ice cream. As I was eating the ice cream I thought to myself, this tastes like cheap ice cream, it kinda sucks... Something you'd get from a quicky mart. It added nothing to the dessert. When I see the check, I see that the ice cream has a $5 up charge! $5 for that crappy ass ice cream is ridiculous! Either change the ice cream, change the price, or better yet change BOTH! **The burgers at Latin House.... up to this point are the BEST I've tried in Miami... There are still many big players I haven't tried yet... and I also LOVE OTC burgers, but with Latin House you get larger portions (if you read my reviews you know I'm huge on portions) and I feel like you get your moneys worth. They don't cheapen out on portions and ingredients which is why I am giving them such high praise with their burgers.

My cousins raved about this place and made me watch a segment on tv about it so my bf and I decided to visit it for our date night. I'll have to call him up tomorrow and inform them on my disappointment. We arrived at 9:30 and waited about 35 minutes for a table that had been open since we had gotten there. The place closed in an hour and there was a line of people waiting at the bar to get a table so that can be understandable if they're under staffed. We were then seated on a sticky booth with no silverware or napkins. We didn't receive any our entire visit, but I could tell that our server, Jessika, was just very busy and that's understandable too. We ordered 3 1/4lb burgers: the champ, the Cuban, and the French with an egg on top. It took about 30-40 minutes for our food to arrive but it is made to order according the the menu. I was really disappointed because our burger orders actually came out wrong. The French burger had no egg and they also forgot to add the honey so it just tasted like a plain burger with Brie cheese. The champ was a let down as well. The Cuban was the only one we really enjoyed and my bf just thought it was okay. I didn't ask to have the burger corrected because it already took so long and I didn't want to bug our nice server. I had ordered a glass of sangria (red) and that was pretty tasty. I am a very light drinker and would usually get a buzz from half a glass of sangria anywhere, but this was practically sprite. Our server brought me a second sangria on the house because of the wait which was really nice but honestly I just wanted to go home. Jessika was very sweet from beginning to end and I think she's an excellent employee. I sincerely think the place was understaffed for a Friday night. The food was sub-par, maybe 1.5/5 stars. I must have come on a bad night. I'm even a little nauseous as I type. :(

Great casual night out!! Comfort food at its finest... Vaca frita on everything! Latin spice to sure put a smile on your face...great service and lively ambiance...Chimiburrito is my go-to dish!... Or go for the vaca frita burger with a fried egg!...PS: leave room for dessert

I am obsessed with this place!!! We order the muffin top burgers (1/4 lb. patties) so we can enjoy different yummy variations. My all-time favorites are the Cuban (queso blanco and guava jelly) and the Elvis (3 cheeses, peanut butter & jelly and plantains). TRUST ME! The fries on the side are curly and thinly sliced. I haven't had a chance to try anything else on the menu because they are that good!!! Jorge is the BEST waiter there - fast and friendly! He made a huge difference in our meal last night and we go there all the time! Just a note, they make their own soda Latin House Cola which resembles a Ritz cola and isn't that good in my opinion. I always ask for a Mexican Coke which is a Coke in the glass bottle and always hits the spot! Overall BEST BURGERS in town!

I have passed by this restaurant several times and never made it a point to dine her until I saw them on Diners drive ins and dives which got me craving it. When we arrived we were seated within 5 minutes even though the restaurant was not completely full I assume they had us wait because they didn't have many servers that being said I didn't mind the wait because the service ended up being great. The menu is large and had a lot of options. As an appetizer we ordered the chunks and butterflies which was good but the shrimp was def the star of the plate. I ordered a glass of the white sangria and it was refreshing a great drink to go along with my order of the tostadas which to my surprise was large and tasted amazing! My boyfriend ordered the taqueria calle tacos and said they were great, I honetly didn't even try his because I was so busy enjoying every last bite of my plate. Great restaurant Isee myself returning very soon just sad it took me so long to try this place out.

To quote that famous Diana Ross track, Latin House Grill is the spiciest hangover. I thought I had a good grip on spicy food, but I hadn't tried their mango habanero wings! Finding myself in Kendall and starving on a Friday night, I decided to check out Latin House Grill. Besides, I figured that spicy food would help me beat the freezing 60s. The hostess was friendly, letting me browse the menu and pointing me toward the bar so I wouldn't have to wait the 20 minutes average. Besides, there were a couple of TV's where I saw the Miami Heat own the Knicks! Since I had skipped lunch, I went with a double order: the Chimi Burrito and a small order of wings. The burrito had a decent meat to rice ratio, and the queso and Pico de Gallo gave it a yummy kick. The sweet surprise was the chopped up sweet plantains ("maduros") inside, playing well with the spice. Next up were the wings: half BBQ and half mango habanero. While the BBQ ones had a strong smokey taste, the spicy mango kicked me. I got smoothed over by the slightly sweet mango then the habanero chili hit me. I felt the full effect (numb lips and fire in my belly) but left happy. The wings could have been a little meatier, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The bar crew was also timely in getting my soda refills.

Not horrible, but definitely not great. Our food was boring, and the flavors just seemed really off. We'd heard a ton of good things about this place, but we had a really disappointing experience. We left feeling a little nauseous. Maybe there was something wrong with their kitchen staff that night. We won't be coming back.

What a HORRENDOUS experience! Service was slow, food was charged with "extras" never told... Food was cold, hamburguer not cooked to what was asked! Espresso machine broken, so no coffee--- as told by the server! Very disappointed. Never coming back nor recommending it!!! Terrible!

I'm not a big foodie, but when something lands on my taste bud and makes an explosion of excitement I HAVE TO talk about it. Let's start from the beginning, walked in and it's super hippy, stylish, sleek, up beat all in one. Sitting around me is all walks of life. I have a family with a loud son, next to them are two handicap senior citizens, myself and family with a 3 month. Several couples near by. So the kind of people it attracts is many of different backgrounds. I take it these people know GREAT food since I've just experienced the BEST burger EVER. The waiter (Jonathan) was on POINT with everything. Attention to detail. Never had less then half a cup of soda. Once we were done with our Calamari that had this sauce that was made in heaven and dripped off of a cloud and landed at Latin House Grill..lol. Sauce was insane!!!! My order was The Champ and the French Slider. WOW!!! The Champ burger was so juicy and perfectly cooked. The sauce that was in it had a hint of spice. Guacamole I believe, I only say I Believe cause I ate it with my eyes closed; that's how awesome it was. I didn't think the French Burger could be better then that and I was absolutely Wrong. I really wanted to give it a bad critique but I couldn't. I just couldn't believe how awesome BOTH of these burgers were. The French was the opposite in taste. It had a more sweeter approach. Perfect mix and combo!! Sweet and Spicy!!! The sweet potato slices NOM NOM NOM!!! The end!! I can't believe this place has been rated anything less then 4 stars. Gotta go!! Dessert just got here....I'm not gonna write about it because if u aren't coming here based on what I just finished saying then u don't deserve to hear about this dessert. Peace!!

I asked my client where the best burgers were in the area and he did not hesitate to say that Latin House was it. So we went for lunch and I had a great experience. The menu has a lot of inventive burgers and several options for ordering. I think it is genius that they have a slider option where you can order two different types of burgers. I ordered the Elvis (peanut butter, plantains and I added bacon) and the Champ (bacon, avocado, jalapeno). I LOVED the Elvis (I did skip the cheese and added bacon and be forewarned you have to like peanut butter for this to be a hit. The Champ was fine but in hindsight I probably should have ordered the Cuban (queso blanco and guyaba marmalade) because I was super jealous of my client's choice. Another bonus was they have house made potato chips. SOOO GOOD! Service was great and I would definitely recommend to others and come back next time I'm in Miami.

Man I can say I have eaten burgers in a lot of places around south florida but I just had one of the best burgers ever today at this place. I had the original with avocado slices and an egg. What a blast of flavors in my mouth! I recommend you try this place ASAP. One added plus was the owner going table to table introducing himself and making sure you are comfortable and happy with your food. Service was outstanding by the crew in the restaurant. Desert was also a delight we had the balls to the wall and i will finish this with a WOW.

These burgers are off the charts. Amazing flavors, all very fresh, with very generous portion sizes. Ambience is hip and service was great. We tried the signature ceviche as a appetizer. It was a bit heavy on the tongue. It was very good, although not as successful as the burgers. Our table sampled 4 of their signature burgers: The Mexican, The Original, The Champ & The French. All were very unique with stellar flavors. The Mexican was the standout, the Original being a close second (imagine the perfect All-American burger flavor, this is it). All burgers come with their "Tangled Love Fries" (Home Made Potato Chips) which were equally as excellent. Latin House Grill is well worth a trip to South Miami. You will not be disappointed.

The food was great but service is very slow! Took well over an hour and the place was empty.. Made me late to work. Food took very long to come out.. Also the waiter didn't check on us to see how we were doing.. When we were ready to order we had to wait, when we wanted to order dessert we had to wait a long time and same thing when we wanted to pay.. All this waiting with only 4 other tables between 2 servers.. But at least the food was good and the dessert was free

I love this place so much that even thinking of it makes my mouth water. I've never come here during the evening or night, I've heard of the wait times. Lunch time, during the week, it is perfect. The burgers are all so different and juicy and delicious. I've had the brie and almond, the chorizo stuffed, the Elvis, and oh my goodness. They all leave me in so much love for burgers. Portions are perfect, even the smallest size burger, is super filling. And the desserts!!! Either split your burger, or have the smaller sized one, but try and leave some room for the dessert! I love the atmosphere here, the look of the place, and the amazing food.

Chimi Burrito was amazing. Big flour tortilla with chuchi rice and sweet plantains and chicken. HUGE! You'll probably take one half of it home. Drizzled with a garlic sauce and sour cream. Great decor indoors. Nice and cool as it was so hot outside.

First timer, ordered The Champ 1\4lb. burger. The burger is bursting with flavor ,and the candied jalapenos adds a nice kick. The burger came with a pile of potato chip like "tangle" that was soggy and greasy. Glad I stopped in but wouldn't be a regular.

This has to be one of the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in a while. This place is empty. The wait took over an hour and a half to be served a watery lobster bisque. I ordered pig wings with a sweet glaze sauce, came out super spicy. And my friend's burger was over cooked. It seems as if the kitchen was back up. I'm very disappointed. Maybe the food is kinda good. I wouldn't know. The service here definitely is the reason I am never coming here again.

I've been following Latin House Grill for what seems like forever on Instagram, and I had wanted to go, but at the same time didn't want to because their self-promo's seemed annoying in the same way that I think Guy Fieri is annoying. In-your-face-trying-too-hard-to-be-cool. (Coincidentally, I believe Guy Fieri has visited this restaurant and they have a stencil of his face on one of their walls alongside his signature.) Also, I live like 45 minutes away from this restaurant. Finally, I wanted to see what all the hype was about and I went in for lunch today. There's a reason for the hype; the place is good. Here's why: The decor is pretty cool and trendy; lots of sugar skulls, graffiti-style art, concrete walls, and exposed light fixtures. My only gripe was that the booths seemed kind of cheap. When we went to sit down, I think I took my booth back with me about half a foot. The service was fantastic. Every employee that came into contact with us was polite, attentive, and had a smile on their face. Our waiter, whose name I cannot remember, knew the menu, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal recommendations. He was always there to refill our drinks or give us more napkins when we needed them, and when we rattled off our long order at the very beginning (without giving him much time to even greet us) he got it all right and timed all of our dishes perfectly. The food was excellent. My mom ordered the Sneaky Nachos with chicken, with the intention of eating it as her entree, but they were so HUGE that we asked them to pack half before we even began. We also ordered the Chips and Pico, which was good. It wasn't anything out of this world, but the pico was fresh tasting. As another appetizer we got the Pig Wings in Asian sauce (as recommended) and that was phenomenal. The pork was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was really flavorful. The best part was that they place the "wings" over a bed of their Tangled Love Fries, so the fries soak up all the delicious sauce. (The fries are amaaaazing.) For my entree I ordered The Champ (1/2 lb). I got it between two lettuce leaves, but the burger was so juicy and drippy that it was impossible to actually eat it with my hands. No matter, using a fork and knife doesn't diminish from how good it was. The burger had everything I loved in it - bacon, cheese, avocado...etc. Delicious! Again, my only gripe was that I asked for it to be cooked rare and instead I got a burger that was more medium-well. (Most of these kinds of places won't cook, er not cook, the burger the way I like it for safety reasons.) Since I already had the Tangled Love Fries I opted for Sweet Petals on the side of my burger. They were good, but not as good as the regular fries. They were also over-fried in the middle, so that many of them were soft and chewy in places. Not really a big deal. I just ate all the crispy parts. Anyway, this got long. The place is good. Go there. Eat the food. Be happy. :)

I've been here a couple times and LOVE the burgers, love the service, love the appetizers, especially the steak nachos! My one complaint... they are all the way in Kendall and I am all the way in Broward. They have some pretty unique burgers so if you're looking to try more than one order the muffin tops so you can try two mini burger choices in one meal.

Murielle D.
I love this place, over the course of a few months I've ordered and dined here and the menu had a lot to choose from. My favorite item is the taqueria street tacos, they are delicious and the crema is delicious! I've tried the grilled chimi burrito and let me say that it's huge, two people can share it and it won't disappoint. I haven't had a burger but that's next! The only thing that disappointed is that I've had to pick up my food after I ordered online for delivery, that should specify delivery isn't available. The food is great though.

This place is pretty good, it's different than other places. Their signature dishes are the chimi burrito and mad love burger, their tacos are pretty damn good as well. It's a bit pricey for the kind of food they make, but I would still highly recommend them. The owners are wonderful people and have worked their tails off for years (since their truck days) to get this spot open and running.

Love having this place nearby. The food is always excellent. I love the candied jalapeño on everything. I wish they had more choices for sides with the burgers. Can't wait for lobster rolls to be back on the menu. Beer selection is great as well.

I had the worse experience of my restaurant life at this place. I was with my 4 year old daughter, 7 year old niece and 4 friends. Ordered our food, mine was terrible. It tasted disgusting and the putrid smell coming out of those pig wings was unbearable. I kindly told the waitress and whispered what my plate smelled like. A few minutes later, the owner came and was so so so rude, classless and just disgusting with me and the whole table. We were completely appalled. She actually even told me that she doesn't appreciate me insulting her chef. WOW! Didn't know that not liking a plate on the menu and saying that it smelled putrid was an insult. So much to write but in a nutshell : WILL NEVER EVER step foot in here again and as a business owner myself will make sure all my clients know about this experience. Still can't believe that lady is the owner.

We went there yesterday, waited and hour to sit, 45 minutes for the food, plenty of empty tables, 3 overcooked hamburgers, 1 maduro in my chimiburrito, and 5 pissed off customers. Won't go back, and im guessing the people in the table next to us who got up and walked out won't either.

NPS = 7 Great nachos and pretty ok bar too. It's great that they offered Brooklyn Brewery's Local 2 bottles. Corked in a large bottle (750 ml bottle approx), it is definitely the beer of choice here. For starters, definitely get the vaca frita nachos. It's nachos with shredded marinated beef on top and totally worth it. The burritos are also a large size and they even have lettuce wraps in case you are trying to watch your figure. We came here for a friend's birthday and the crew was very helpful...they even saved the cake we brought to be served later in the night. I believe Latin House started as a food truck and now has become a brick and mortar. You definitely get a taste and feel for the food truck origins. To make this place better I would probably teach the bar crew a little bit more about the craft beers they serve. This is only so they are better equipped to describe the different beers they offer. But other than that, this place is alright in my book.

First time here it went great but now I'm here again. One hour and a half later no food. Food is great but today was a disaster.

Amazing food and service all around. Burgers are extremely juicy and tasty. Tried the original, champ, Cuban and French burgers. All over-the-top with flavor. Champ was my fav by far. Had a little kick that was just right. Oh, and the balls to the wall dessert left me in a food coma. Que Rico! Have to come and try for yourselves!

Had the Cuban sliders, very tasty and surprisingly filling. Our waitress Michele was very attentive. As luck would have tonight was Belgian tasting that featured our 3 favorite beers on s complimentary flight with a Hogaarten, a Stella and a Leffe all great beers from Belgium. Good value for the money, nice atmospheres,

First time visitor here. My SO and I came here during our lunch hour. We waited about two minutes upon entering for someone to acknowledge us and seat us. Five minutes into us being seated another table was also seated, given menus, and had gotten their drink orders taken to their table. Meanwhile, there we are waiting for our waitress or for someone to greet us. Nothing. The place wasn't busy enough to use that as an excuse. The whole other side of the restaurant was empty, about 6 open tables on the left side, and an empty bar. Safe to say, I didn't feel bad about leaving. As we were getting up to leave some other waitress came up to us and said "Your waitress will be here soon". I think I'll save myself the trip next time and go somewhere else that will provide actual service.

I have been here twice before, it's a cute place, not too much seating but they try to seat you as soon as possible if there is a wait. Had their fried calamari as an appetizer which was very good; really enjoyed the sauces it came with on the side. I've also had the Pig Wings as an appetizer, and they were really really good too. I shared a Chimi Burrito (which was definitely a good idea), it is very big & extremely good. Half was enough for me. It comes with these fries/chips on the side which were also super tasty!

Don't be tempted by the other delicious things on the menu, go with one of the burgers, you'll be glad you did. The meat was so flavorful and cooked to perfection and it just got better with every bite. I also tried the chimi burrito, hearing good things about it, but it left me disappointed and preferring a burrito from chipotle any day. Maybe sweet burritos just aren't my thing. Anyhow, very cool place with a bar, multiple flat screens and plenty of seating.
I have been going to the ~ Latin House Grill ~ when it was just a traveling food truck back in August 11, 2011 ~ trying to establish a name for itself at the height of the "Food Truck Wars" in South Florida. Well since then we have watched them change from a tiny caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly ~ living the American Dream of success and evolving into one of the best burger joints in our three counties. On our last experience we went for lunch and tired a delightful new array of items (see photo's) We started off with a new appetizer ~ ~ Queso Fondue ~ "A blend of 3 cheeses and Mexican chorizo, melted and served w/ fresh tortilla chips." ~ We where expecting a creamy cheesy, mouth watering fondue mixture that was light and fluffy and to be able to dip our freshly made tortilla chips (...that were great) into this creation with ease ~ NOT - It was just a nicely melted array of hot cheeses layered over the top of their house interruptions of a "latin" chorizo that was rather greasy. ~ Don't get me wrong, it was good, but we had to struggle to get the cheese onto our chips (without braking them) by either using a knife and fork to enjoy this treat. Maybe our expectations of what a "fondue" is has been recreated to meet their consumer interruption. (rating ~ three stars) Now, if you have not been here before, you can order two sizes of burgers. Their rather lager (1/2 lb. burgers called "Madlove") or ... ...for us the smart thing to do to enjoy their large variety of burgers is to place your order as ~ two, 1/4 lb. burgers called "Muffin Tops" ~ which are all made fresh with brisket, chuck, and sirloin combination that is ground daily and served on a freshly baked Brioche bun. This gives you the ability to cut them in half, letting you share with your partner the variety of mixing and matching of burgers that you haven't tried. ~ (Oh yes, there is a strategy behind my madness for experiencing all their treats) ~ ...and i suggest having your burgers prepared via the "chiefs recommendation" which is today was "medium". (juicy, tender and well very seasoned). ~~ Let's get down to what we indulged ourselves with ~~ ~Entrees: ~ Our "Muffin Tops" selection for today's was (see photo's): ~The "Original" ~ "THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL", the Award Winning, three cheeses, two strips of thick cut apple-wood smoked, maple glazed bacon, butter grilled onions & mushrooms, Avocado-Lime, creme. ~ (rating ~ five stars) ~The "French" ~ Brie Cheese, Sliced Almonds, and Honey. (rating ~ five stars) ~All orders are served with a side of their "Tangled Love" fries which are excellent. Light, crunchy and salty ~ I suggest getting a small side of honey to dip them into because to me It just enhances there flavor to that height that your tasted buds are exploding with pleasure. (...oh my!) ~Desert: ~ Sweeddos" ~ OMG, what a burst of flavors ~ they are freshly made Madagascar vanilla dough fried to perfection and "injected" with "leche condensada" and drizzled with warm maple syrup and lightly powered sugar. ~ Something that can really appreciate coming from Miami-Dade County's Latin/Cuban cuisine. (rating ~ five stars) Well their "fame and fortune" has been well recognized throughout South Florida and now nationally (Apr 25, 2014) by The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives starring Guy Fier. ~ (see photo's) The service is always excellent and the establishment is colorful and very well decorated with large bright graphics (...like the Wynwood Walls of Miami) ~ One thing that we love is the hundreds of large bare light bulbs dangling from their high ceiling on a black industrial cords in an architecture appealing array of symmetrical design. They do have multiple very large screen HD TV's placed throughout their establishment making our dining a little more exciting by watching the 2014 World Cup a pleasure. Remember, that they do have a variety of ice cold draft beers to help you quench your thirst. ~The bottom line: I have never be disappointed when I have gone there and would given it four-and-a-half stars but we have no such rating. ~ So then, it's a solid four stars for it is always nice to try to motivate establishments by discreetly pointing out very small weakness, in your opinion, something in their menu or service so they can strive to improve your next culinary experience. Cheers!

Service: The service was horrendous. We went on a weeknight. They had tons of empty tables, but i guess not enough staff, so we waited like 30 or 40 minutes. Waiter was very busy, messed up our order. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer but he forgot to put it in so it never came. We ordered two different burgers, and both burgers were missing ingredients. For example, one was supposed to have avocado and came with no avocado on the burger. Another was supposed to have crema mexicana but did not have that either. Each burger was missing 2 or 3 of its listed ingredients. The waiter gave us a free drink and 10% off for messing up the order so bad, but the experience still was terrible. Food: If you put aside the fact that we received orders that were missing ingredients, and that the service sucked, the food was actually really good. Burgers were great. The 1/4 pound burgers are smaller than i thought they would be, but tasted amazing. Overall: The terrible service/understaffing at this place is it's achilles heel. This place would get 5 stars if the wait/service/staffing weren't so poor. This restaurant is another classic case of maximizing profit at the expense of customer service. With plenty of empty tables, no one should be waiting. Hire more staff. Also if the waiter had a reasonable workload, he wouldn't be messing up orders. Once again, hire more staff. It's a shame that such awesome food is being held hostage to such bad service. Would love to eat here again, but don't want to wait 40 minutes to get the wrong order/incomplete items again. HIRE MORE STAFF.

Unlike everyone else I didn't hear about them from food trucks. I first about that place on ch 7. I told my older brother about it do he came to eat, he loved the place so he got me a $50 certificate. I decided it to use it on my anniversary and I won't regret it. We had the sneaky nachos w/vaca frite, pigs wings & for dinner the chuchi yellow rice w/vaca frita & the taqueria calle w/vaca frita & carne asada. It was all delicious. The service was great and so was the food. I'm glad I heard about this place.

A twist on Hispanic food, delicious! Very large portions, fresh, flavorful! We went for lunch, had the nachos, split with vaca frita and cilantro Lime chicken. We loved it! Shared the chimiburrito, also delicious! Hats down to the chef and team! We'll be back!

Known for their burgers. Nice place the only complaint was that it was a bit hot. Other than that the menu looked pretty unique. Service was decent. My biggest complaint is that I had the burrito that when arrived looked amazing! It tasted totally delicious but the tortilla it was in was so ridiculously weak that upon picking it up fell apart & after the first bite things got worse. However very delicious do recommend & will go back to try their burgers

I give this restaurant three stars, mainly because of the service... My husband and I went on a Sunday night around 8 pm. The hostess told us that it would be a 15 minute wait for a table of 2. We noticed that a quarter of the tables were empty but we patiently waited. After about 25 minutes, we noticed that the hostess had disappeared and now the restaurant was half-emptied. I asked one of the servers at the bar if I could speak to the manager. The manager seated us within 2 minutes but the hostess was still nowhere to be found. The manager ended up being our waitress, which leaded us to believe that they were short-staffed... Something that seems common from reading other Yelp reviews. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer that took over 30 minutes for it to be served. However, it was delicious. From there it took another 30 minutes to get our burgers, which were absolutely delicious. We weren't even done with our burgers, when the manager/waitress asked us if we wanted dessert... "Now, you're hurrying us up!?!?!? Oh hell no" was what went through my mind. My husband told her to give us a moment. Eventually, we did order dessert, Balls to the Wall... Amazing. We took our sweet time eating it. As we were finishing up, we noticed that the staff starting cleaning. The manager clearly takes on a lot of roles in this restaurant because while she was sweeping and cleaning, one of the waiters and one of the busboys were standing behind the bar, on their phones. My husband wants to return but it will be without me... Although the food was delicious, I don't appreciate having such bad customer service.

Started with a foodtruck now we're here. In Kendall that is. They started spreading their Deliciousness in a foodtruck that lead to the first location. Located in a small strip mall with a nice size parking lot. The restaurants has plenty of seating inside. I have had the queso fondio and the lobster bisque both were tasty as a appetizer. So are the Hawaiian mini burgers. Small cheeseburgers on sweet mini rolls. Delicious. I also have had the tacos with shrimp and steak. The shrimp ones are addicting. The chimi is one of their popular dishes. It's a fried chimichonga with rice, maduros, and whatever protein you choose. They are tasty. Also the flatoon. It's a flour tortilla with your choice of protein and vegetables on top of it. They also have a large of burgers to sample. They must be good cause they have won awards from Burger Beast for Best Burger. They also have a decent selection of craft beers on draft and bottles to. The best time to come is during the week or before 6 cause it usually get packed after on Fridays and the weekend.

I went to Latin house for my brothers birthday during super bowl weekend. The Service was painfully slow and the place wasn't packed. I ordered a Frita from there and it was undercooked and loaded with that guava ketchup and full of spices, they get my drinks wrong and to top it all off, my grandmothers bank account info was apparently stolen from one of the servers at latin house. Avoid it.

Mirielle C.
I've been to Latin house on two occasions. I really enjoyed my first visit, we had the steak nachos, which were amazing and I definitely recommend you try. I had the burger sampler. The Frita was the best burger, in my opinion. The burgers are huge, they're very good. On my second visit, I had the Chimi burrito. I was expecting to like it more than I did. It wasn't bad, but not one single bite had that WOW factor I was looking for, which surprised me because I love sweet and salty foods and this burrito has plantains in it. My mom also ordered the Chimi burrito and she found a screw in hers....,shocking I know. It was an isolated incident we were assured, they said the screw fell off the lid of their rice maker. It was a lil scary cause what if my mom had broken a tooth because of it? They comped her meal and brought us dessert to make up for it which was a nice gesture. My sister has ordered the tacos for take out before, which she loved. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else, just not the burrito because it just didn't have that wow factor I was looking for. **update** Order the tacos and the sweeddos! The best I've ordered from their menu. I ordered it on my last visit and felt compelled to update my review.

Ok her I go: So when I got there and thr place looked really neat, waiter was kind and professional. The place was clean When ordering the plates are a bit small on the entree, looks like it's more like appetizers. Order the chimi burrito with vaca frita, the meat was BEYOND salty!! The fries are ok The tables are very weird as it's pretty uncomfortable, they keep moving and are not gripped on the floor. Expect a very big delay when ordering your meal as they take forever!!! Will I be back? maybe as I can't judge the other plates and won't be my preference for future eating.

Unacceptable service !!! We arrived at 8pm & the hostess told us wait was 45mins, While we waited we ordered drinks and a guacamole we kept seeing empty tables and no one was being seated. We had 9 parties in front of us and there were 6 tables empty , my husband went to ask why they were not seating on those empty booths & they answered that the kitchen is too small to handle all the tables being occupied .. We got seated 9pm We ordered appetizers & entrees all at once , It is now 9:42pm we r still waiting for our entrees!!! Atrocious service !!! NEVER AGAIN !!

My husband came here for lunch with friends and had sliders. He hated them and never wanted to come back (although picky as he is, he'll eat just about anything). We go for his friend's graduation dinner (he was really excited about that :sarcasm:). It was a set menu. Mexican food is what they're known for so I told my husband he should try something "Latin." We had a choice between "calle ocho tacos" "tostadas" and two burgers. The waiter recommended the tacos since I was between that and the tostadas. I got them with fish tempura (surprisingly good since I'm not a tempura fan) and carne asana (not that great..the meat was a bit rubbery). My husband got the Frita (which he loved). I tried a piece. That guava ketchup was delicious. It tasted like guava BBQ. I also ordered a red sangria (very refreshing and juicy...tastes more like juice cocktail but I liked it). Saw them making a mix of red and white and a waiter told me I can try it. That was very nice but the mix tasted like medicine. They said the red is sweeter than the white. Once I tasted the mix I was like "red is fine, thanks." The pico de gallo is also delicious but I'm a huge fan of it and you really can't mess that up. In the end, my husband was still not a fan of this place. Now...why I'm rating it 1 star (and that's because I can't rate 0). We went last night with friends for dinner. My husband had a rough day since he wasn't feeling well earlier. I wasn't starving (and I'm so glad I wasn't). Unfortunately, for our friends and my husband (who pretty much hadn't eaten much all day)...they were starving. It was 7:30pm when we put our names on the wait list. Wait time: 35mins (that must've been a rude joke). There were tons of people outside. They said feel free to order appetizers and drinks (umm, that's okay 30mins isn't that bad). An HOUR AND 20mins later we're seated. The place has a bunch of booths available. Hmm...so they must be short staffed, whatever. The waiter comes by, we order our drinks. Sangria is still good and juicy (refreshing is what I needed after sitting outside so long). So everyone's getting the "chimi burrito" it was all that was talked about since our friends loved it. I'm not a fan of rice in my burritos and plantains, for me, are a must on the side...I don't mix them with my food...ever. So, after much contemplation, I give in and say I'll try the chimi burrito and I tell the waiter to please give me the plantains on the side (my friend did the same since she hates them but her bf loves them). I asked if the "chimi" rice was a must bc I'm not a fan. Waiter said its better bc it won't give the full effect. Fine. Mind you, it's now 9pm. Didn't take us long to order. After ordering, some people were seated in the empty booths next to us. They ordered and got their dinner before us....really??? Again, whatever. Waiter finally appears with our burritos. He starts by saying (paraphrased of course)... Waiter: "I have some bad news" (really??), "the chef did not put the plantains on the side. He's trying to perfect the menu so he does not want to change anything. He's no longer accepting changes to orders. If it was me, I wouldn't care, but he's trying hard to get the menu perfect." Me: "so basically, if you have a plantain allergy, you're screwed because the chef doesn't want to make changes." Waiter: "well since he knows no one is really allergic to plantains, that's why he's doing it. He's perfecting the menu." WOW! You have to be kidding me?! Where are the candid cameras right now?! I was so mad...not because there were plantains in my burrito but the principle behind this entire conversation. I'm not sure if this was an inputting error by the waiter or what he said was true. If it is true, then it should have been stated from the beginning and/or the menu should specify it so we could have changed our order. Regardless, that was the worst costumer service I've ever received at a restaurant! So I try the burrito (this masterpiece that cannot be changed....which being a foodie, I can understand...but this is not a 5 star restaurant with a well-renowned chef AND this was NOT a chef's plate/choice/special on the menu! Anyway...I taste it. It was like arroz con pollo (Cuban yellow rice with chicken), cheese, and plantains all together in a wrap. I will repeat, I do NOT eat my plantains with anything...that's why they're on the side! The rice was bland and dry. Chicken was okay...definitely did not taste like cilantro or lime. So I just picked out the chicken and had my side of pico de gallo with chips. Worst plate ever. I get why people may like it since many people like the mix of arroz con pollo with plantains but there's many people who don't! Your goal should be to make the customers happy. Clearly that's not this chef's goal. Not sure if I'll be back now. Plantain allergies exist (you can be allergic to almost anything): rightdiagnosis.com/f/foo… Educate yourself!

The good: Food was delicious. Very yummy. Very attentive waitress. Waitress helped to find solutions with a soup problem. Food seemed to be made with lots of care and creativity. The Bad: Kind of loud. Unfortunately we were put in the darkest corner of the restaurant. (Careful of the right side) Because the food is made creativity it takes awhile to get your meal. 15-20 after we finished our appetizers.

Yanela G.
First of all the food is honestly a solid 4 on its own, however do not come here if you want decent service, it will only frustrate you, also don't come here if you have any kind of time crunch. You will not be leaving within the hour and it doesn't matter how busy or not busy it is, could be empty its still a struggle, which is a shame because the burritos are awesome, malanga chips are too. Need a better staff overall

I came in on a weekday with my best friend after the wait was to long at Flannigans. Boy was I happy she introduced me to Latin House Grill even though we had several bumps during our dining experience. We started off with red sangrias which were pretty good and a queso dip with chorizo which was yummy. The server brought out the wrong appetizer we originally wanted but the queso dip was none the less delicious. I ate the Chimi Burrito w/o rice b/c they had run out of rice but I still manage to drool when I think of it. I had asked for no sauce on the burrito but someone messed up & it came with the sauce. The server was great she noticed and w/o saying anything she offered us a free dessert after all the bumps we encountered. I can't wait to come back and eat the burrito and other items on the menu.

On at least two websites they advertise kids eat free Monday Tuesday Wesnesday and Thursday but tonight we got up and left because the wait staff all denied the advertising kidseatfreewednesday.com… Never going again and I have about 500 friends on FB that I'll warn

I went there for the first time yesterday. Service was very slow but I understand that it was Easter and they were busy. Waiter was very attentive. I personally did not understand the hype behind the place. I did not enjoy the frita. It wasn't bad but I have had much better fritas. I like the way the do their chips. Next time I will try the chimi burrito. My wife loves the shrimp ceviche and the dessert with condensed milk and maple syrup was very good.

Alexander B.
I love their burgers!!!! I would go more often if it wasn't so slightly overpriced. The best deal is to go during lunch when they offer their lunch specials. I came in today and the crowd was not bad despite it was a Tuesday. Vanessa was very helpful and knowledgable about the menu, and made some great suggestions for me.

It all started with their food truck. Now they have a go to restaurant whenever you crave their awesome one love burger. For appetizers we got the tiger shrimp ceviche. It was just a basic ceviche with shrimp, onions, tomatoes, lime, pepper etc... I could make it at home nothing like passion fruit corvina ceviche that le beau brought home once from a catering gig. It did have a good portion of shrimp tho. Worth $15 ehh not really. This time tho I did not get their burger. I got their chuchi bowl of rice with the steak. very good portion for the price about $9.99 plus $2 for the steak. Yellow rice was cooked perfect NOT mushy... I HATEE mushy rice and most yellow rice I've tried (arroz con pollo) super mushy. The steak was good too. I would have loved more of that sauce they put on the bowl though. Le beau ordered the Masitas which is like an open face taco. He got the steak as well. It is nothing special no new cool trendy flavor combo or anything but a good eat. He also ordered a sangria which was tasty but not the best. Overall for lunch we spent 70 including tip. Service was so-so and it wasn't super busy. I was going to leave cash tip but they couldn't break my $20 bill because they didn't have the cash to break it?!? I don't get it.

This is my second time at this place and I'm never going back .. Clearly the management does not know how to run a restaurant .. You will wait for an hour to sit even though they have empty tables and u will wait another hour for the food .. So if u wanna wait a couple of years for a hamburger be my guest .. Otherwise take your money elsewhere .. Plenty of good burger joints in Miami

I came here because of Guy Fieri, which he also visited Blue Collar which I love. Feels like a gastro pub. Our server was great!! We ordered the tacos, 2 pulled pork and 2 shrimp and the original burger. What I love is the little details, because I'm a foodie, like the pickled carrots and the homemade potatoe chips. I loved the variety of beers and their sangria which is made from a local business. It was our first time, so of course we topped it off with the "balls to the wall" dessert. The only reason for the 4 stars is the price but it was enjoyable, will return!

Spent $20 with tip and left hungry. My friend and I had the calamari platter and shrimp to share. The service was not bad, but not great. I saw some people with larger portions, but ours was small and not worth the price. We were not offered the lunch special (just saw that they have this on their site). The $13 calamari was a bit chewy. The more disappointing part was the shrimp, possibly 5 shrimps with garnish and was $13. NOTE: I also just saw on "tips" that kids eat free(Called to confirm and they said this is true) I took my child - three year old, and I was not offered this deal. My daughter had already eaten, so no big, but still, not worth a mention?

Came here for lunch to try somewhere new. All around it was a good experience. Our waiter was excellent. Regrettably I don't remember his name but I was impressed with his service. Very knowledgeable on the menu. Made recommendations when we were unsure about the meat option for the food ordered. Always had a new drink brought to the table when he saw it starting to get low. Checked up on us during our meal. Just fabulous. Haven't had service this good from a server in a while and we eat out A LOT! The menu was interesting. There is a variety of appetizers to chose from. We had their nachos with Vaca Frita as our meat. Fire! They were delicious. The cheese had a little zing to it too. The waiter said it was one of their best appetizers and I really liked it. I had the tacos. 4 come in one order so I had 2 carne asada and 2 chicken. Very delicious. My hubby ordered from the burger menu which was interesting. You can order 2 burgers and it comes out to the same price as the big burger they have. One of the burgers he ordered (was modeled after Elvis) and had the meat patty, pb and j and platano maduro. He says it was delicious! The one thing on the menu we didn't have was dessert. However the dessert I want to try is called balls to the wall. If you go and you like sweets try this. The description alone will make your mouth water! Another thing I liked was that it is spacious. The tables aren't one on top of the other like most places. We have a little one and a stroller sometimes does not fit well in some establishments. It feels uncomfortable or its in the way. That wasn't a problem here. This really added to our experience because comfort is a big deal. We will definitely be coming back!

My boyfriend and I recently tried Latin House Grill and we loved it. I had the chimi burrito, which has chimi flavored rice, sweet plantains, and a choice of meat (I chose chicken). My boyfriend had the Cuban burger, which is topped with white cheese and guayaba marmalade. We wanted to try other items on the menu because they look so interesting, but we just became too full. We definitely will return!

I cannot express how amazing the food was! For starters believe it or not I'm not a huge fan of burgers. You'll find me having one possibly once a month (when i'm craving it). It had been a week that I had been craving one and really wanted to make it count. Boy did I make the right choice! As you walk in the ambiance is casual and hipster. I loved that all the TV's had the food network on! Our waiter was so friendly and helpful with everything on the menus and as i started to read it i automatically realized I needed to come back! Everything sounded so good and I was determined to have a burger, but the burritos.... i need to come back. First, they have a wonderful selection of beer and local beer. I love restaurants that support what is happening in the community. One of my favorites is Funky Buddha Miami. We ordered for appetizer these fried cheese bites that are dipped in guava whoa! the flavors and texture explodes in your mouth. I realized afterwards that we had desert before the meal! it was perfect though. As for my burgers... i decided I couldn't pick one so you can order two sliders (which are quite big and definitely filling). The French (with honey glazed almonds!) and a traditional American (my craving). The thickness and juiciness was out of this world! It was perfectly cooked and all the flavors were spectacular. I highly recommend that you try this place believe me it's amazing! And I'll make sure to update my review on my next trip.

My husband, daughter and I went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm. We walked in and there were a few tables' worth of people sitting outside waiting for tables. We asked how long it would take to get a table for two adults and one child and the hostess told us it would take 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, we saw approximately 8 unoccupied tables. We decided to wait a while and get a beer from the bar during the wait. The bar is more of a food bar than one for alcohol in the way that it is set up, including that it seems that the bar serves beer and wine only. The beer includes local brews from Wynwood Brewery. After standing at the bar for a few minutes, we decided to order chicken nachos to eat while we waited. We watched as more tables opened and sat empty while people, including us, continued waiting for tables. We saw two seats open at the bar and sat down to eat our nachos. We were not impressed by the nachos, including that we thought it was pretty gross that the cheese seemed like some type of premade yellow cheese like Velveeta. After we watched tables sit open for about 30 minutes and still had not been told a table was available for us, we decided to order our meals at the bar. Incredibly, about 15 minutes later the hostess came up and said a table was ready for us. At that point we had been there about 45 minutes and had watched as many tables sat open and available for the duration of our wait. We were so glad we had decided to stay at the bar to eat. I ordered the lettuce wraps with shrimp, which were very tasty, although I wasn't really sure why they came with a few slices of carrot in the middle of the plate - they seemed kind of out of place. We ordered the taco kids meal for my daughter with beef and chicken. The tacos literally consisted of tortilla, cheese and meat - no vegetables whatsoever, which was disappointing since she would probably have eaten any veggie inside of her tacos. They came with rice. The service in the bar area was fine and we found that most of the service staff were friendly. Overall, though, we were not impressed. While some of the food was really good, most of it was nothing great. The really big disappointment in our experience was the issue with people waiting for tables while tons of tables sat open and available, coupled with the fact that the hostesses underestimated by 15 minutes how long they would make us wait for a table (despite the fact that many sat open that entire time). If the restaurant was short staffed then the hostesses should have told us that we could sit at a table but it may take a while to be attended to, but just making us wait for a table for 45 minutes with a two year old while plenty of tables sat empty was totally ridiculous.

Delicious! Had the special of the day as an appetizer, $3 Pork Slider with French Fries. The pulled bbq pork is very tender, juicy and flavorful. Quite the hit! I ordered: 4 soft tacos: 2 lime chicken and 2 carnitas. All delicious and very flavorful. They don't skimp out on the protein either. They go very heavy on the raw onions FYI. OK service! Our girl could have been better at explaining their $3 Pork Slider special that already comes with fries and how easily one can get stuffed with that alone! Well at least for me. We had ordered one for each person at the table. SMH! Portions are generous and great for family casual dining.
Been to Latin House twice now..... First time.....came here for lunch They had a special for $3 sliders.. I ordered: -vaca frita and pulled pork sliders: The sliders were amazing! I was very surprised by how good they were..... very.... I was even more pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat in the sliders. Sliders are obviously smaller than actual burgers, but they were jam packed with meat. Very dense little guys. I will order these again next time I go and definitely recommend them. Awesome value! -ribeye tacos- These were decent. I would rate these 3 or 4 stars. -1/2 pound madlove The Original. The burger was awesome... can't describe it any better than that. - balls to the wall (dessert)- damnn these were frickin good... brownie balls covered in funnel cake batter with the little side of condensed milk... Highly recommend these! Second time at Latin House... - Timba: Fried cheese squares with a guava sauce. It's fried cheese, it can only taste awesome. The guava sauce is sweet and complements the salty fried cheese. This was a good dish, I'd order it again, no doubt. -Carne Con Queso: This one I wasn't as impressed with. I'd rate a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's melted cheese with a couple chunks of carne asada in the bottom. You dip with nachos. Wouldn't order them again. -** The Elvis Burger: Damn this burger was amazing... starts off with a super flavorful burger patty... it has a 3 cheese blend on top, and what I like is that they put plenty of cheese!! I love that they load up their burgers. On the bottom of the burger they layer grape jelly, peanut butter, and sweet plantains. Easily 5 out 5. -Champ & Mexican: Also had a bite of these burgers. The people who I came with ate them and they were also very satisfied with the quality of the burgers. **I have ONE COMPLAINT about Latin House. I ordered the balls to wall again, this time with ice cream. As I was eating the ice cream I thought to myself, this tastes like cheap ice cream, it kinda sucks... Something you'd get from a quicky mart. It added nothing to the dessert. When I see the check, I see that the ice cream has a $5 up charge! $5 for that crappy ass ice cream is ridiculous! Either change the ice cream, change the price, or better yet change BOTH! **The burgers at Latin House.... up to this point are the BEST I've tried in Miami... There are still many big players I haven't tried yet... and I also LOVE OTC burgers, but with Latin House you get larger portions (if you read my reviews you know I'm huge on portions) and I feel like you get your moneys worth. They don't cheapen out on portions and ingredients which is why I am giving them such high praise with their burgers.

Good service, nice bright atmosphere and not to mention the burgers are fantastic. The food is priced fairly also. Triple win for in my book for Latin house!

First timer, ordered The Champ 1\4lb. burger. The burger is bursting with flavor ,and the candied jalapenos adds a nice kick. The burger came with a pile of potato chip like "tangle" that was soggy and greasy. Glad I stopped in but wouldn't be a regular.

This has to be one of the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in a while. This place is empty. The wait took over an hour and a half to be served a watery lobster bisque. I ordered pig wings with a sweet glaze sauce, came out super spicy. And my friend's burger was over cooked. It seems as if the kitchen was back up. I'm very disappointed. Maybe the food is kinda good. I wouldn't know. The service here definitely is the reason I am never coming here again.

I'm not a big foodie, but when something lands on my taste bud and makes an explosion of excitement I HAVE TO talk about it. Let's start from the beginning, walked in and it's super hippy, stylish, sleek, up beat all in one. Sitting around me is all walks of life. I have a family with a loud son, next to them are two handicap senior citizens, myself and family with a 3 month. Several couples near by. So the kind of people it attracts is many of different backgrounds. I take it these people know GREAT food since I've just experienced the BEST burger EVER. The waiter (Jonathan) was on POINT with everything. Attention to detail. Never had less then half a cup of soda. Once we were done with our Calamari that had this sauce that was made in heaven and dripped off of a cloud and landed at Latin House Grill..lol. Sauce was insane!!!! My order was The Champ and the French Slider. WOW!!! The Champ burger was so juicy and perfectly cooked. The sauce that was in it had a hint of spice. Guacamole I believe, I only say I Believe cause I ate it with my eyes closed; that's how awesome it was. I didn't think the French Burger could be better then that and I was absolutely Wrong. I really wanted to give it a bad critique but I couldn't. I just couldn't believe how awesome BOTH of these burgers were. The French was the opposite in taste. It had a more sweeter approach. Perfect mix and combo!! Sweet and Spicy!!! The sweet potato slices NOM NOM NOM!!! The end!! I can't believe this place has been rated anything less then 4 stars. Gotta go!! Dessert just got here....I'm not gonna write about it because if u aren't coming here based on what I just finished saying then u don't deserve to hear about this dessert. Peace!!

I asked my client where the best burgers were in the area and he did not hesitate to say that Latin House was it. So we went for lunch and I had a great experience. The menu has a lot of inventive burgers and several options for ordering. I think it is genius that they have a slider option where you can order two different types of burgers. I ordered the Elvis (peanut butter, plantains and I added bacon) and the Champ (bacon, avocado, jalapeno). I LOVED the Elvis (I did skip the cheese and added bacon and be forewarned you have to like peanut butter for this to be a hit. The Champ was fine but in hindsight I probably should have ordered the Cuban (queso blanco and guyaba marmalade) because I was super jealous of my client's choice. Another bonus was they have house made potato chips. SOOO GOOD! Service was great and I would definitely recommend to others and come back next time I'm in Miami.

Man I can say I have eaten burgers in a lot of places around south florida but I just had one of the best burgers ever today at this place. I had the original with avocado slices and an egg. What a blast of flavors in my mouth! I recommend you try this place ASAP. One added plus was the owner going table to table introducing himself and making sure you are comfortable and happy with your food. Service was outstanding by the crew in the restaurant. Desert was also a delight we had the balls to the wall and i will finish this with a WOW.

These burgers are off the charts. Amazing flavors, all very fresh, with very generous portion sizes. Ambience is hip and service was great. We tried the signature ceviche as a appetizer. It was a bit heavy on the tongue. It was very good, although not as successful as the burgers. Our table sampled 4 of their signature burgers: The Mexican, The Original, The Champ & The French. All were very unique with stellar flavors. The Mexican was the standout, the Original being a close second (imagine the perfect All-American burger flavor, this is it). All burgers come with their "Tangled Love Fries" (Home Made Potato Chips) which were equally as excellent. Latin House Grill is well worth a trip to South Miami. You will not be disappointed.

The food was great but service is very slow! Took well over an hour and the place was empty.. Made me late to work. Food took very long to come out.. Also the waiter didn't check on us to see how we were doing.. When we were ready to order we had to wait, when we wanted to order dessert we had to wait a long time and same thing when we wanted to pay.. All this waiting with only 4 other tables between 2 servers.. But at least the food was good and the dessert was free

I love this place so much that even thinking of it makes my mouth water. I've never come here during the evening or night, I've heard of the wait times. Lunch time, during the week, it is perfect. The burgers are all so different and juicy and delicious. I've had the brie and almond, the chorizo stuffed, the Elvis, and oh my goodness. They all leave me in so much love for burgers. Portions are perfect, even the smallest size burger, is super filling. And the desserts!!! Either split your burger, or have the smaller sized one, but try and leave some room for the dessert! I love the atmosphere here, the look of the place, and the amazing food.

Chimi Burrito was amazing. Big flour tortilla with chuchi rice and sweet plantains and chicken. HUGE! You'll probably take one half of it home. Drizzled with a garlic sauce and sour cream. Great decor indoors. Nice and cool as it was so hot outside.

Been here so many times might as well tell you why I've been here so many times. There's a reason Latin House won last year's Burger Brawl. I always order the French burger. It brings melted Brie cheese, sliced almonds, and organic honey. One time I ordered the quarter pounder because I was watching my weight but it was the biggest mistake of my life and I've made up for it by now. At first I wasn't a fan of the chips for fries but eventually they grew on me and now I don't leave a single one behind.

This place had a great menu and the food was amazing but the wait was WAYYYYYY too long!! If the wait was not bad I would give 5 stars but the I was in there for longer than 1.5 hours and it wasn't even that full.

I've been following Latin House Grill for what seems like forever on Instagram, and I had wanted to go, but at the same time didn't want to because their self-promo's seemed annoying in the same way that I think Guy Fieri is annoying. In-your-face-trying-too-hard-to-be-cool. (Coincidentally, I believe Guy Fieri has visited this restaurant and they have a stencil of his face on one of their walls alongside his signature.) Also, I live like 45 minutes away from this restaurant. Finally, I wanted to see what all the hype was about and I went in for lunch today. There's a reason for the hype; the place is good. Here's why: The decor is pretty cool and trendy; lots of sugar skulls, graffiti-style art, concrete walls, and exposed light fixtures. My only gripe was that the booths seemed kind of cheap. When we went to sit down, I think I took my booth back with me about half a foot. The service was fantastic. Every employee that came into contact with us was polite, attentive, and had a smile on their face. Our waiter, whose name I cannot remember, knew the menu, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal recommendations. He was always there to refill our drinks or give us more napkins when we needed them, and when we rattled off our long order at the very beginning (without giving him much time to even greet us) he got it all right and timed all of our dishes perfectly. The food was excellent. My mom ordered the Sneaky Nachos with chicken, with the intention of eating it as her entree, but they were so HUGE that we asked them to pack half before we even began. We also ordered the Chips and Pico, which was good. It wasn't anything out of this world, but the pico was fresh tasting. As another appetizer we got the Pig Wings in Asian sauce (as recommended) and that was phenomenal. The pork was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was really flavorful. The best part was that they place the "wings" over a bed of their Tangled Love Fries, so the fries soak up all the delicious sauce. (The fries are amaaaazing.) For my entree I ordered The Champ (1/2 lb). I got it between two lettuce leaves, but the burger was so juicy and drippy that it was impossible to actually eat it with my hands. No matter, using a fork and knife doesn't diminish from how good it was. The burger had everything I loved in it - bacon, cheese, avocado...etc. Delicious! Again, my only gripe was that I asked for it to be cooked rare and instead I got a burger that was more medium-well. (Most of these kinds of places won't cook, er not cook, the burger the way I like it for safety reasons.) Since I already had the Tangled Love Fries I opted for Sweet Petals on the side of my burger. They were good, but not as good as the regular fries. They were also over-fried in the middle, so that many of them were soft and chewy in places. Not really a big deal. I just ate all the crispy parts. Anyway, this got long. The place is good. Go there. Eat the food. Be happy. :)

I've been here a couple times and LOVE the burgers, love the service, love the appetizers, especially the steak nachos! My one complaint... they are all the way in Kendall and I am all the way in Broward. They have some pretty unique burgers so if you're looking to try more than one order the muffin tops so you can try two mini burger choices in one meal.

I tried this place out with my wife and kids on a Saturday afternoon (8/22/15) for lunch and we literally could not wait to get out of there. The first thing that struck us about the menu were the elevated prices. I wouldn't call it expensive, but definitely more than you would expect for this type of food. Maybe the prices are OK for South Beach or Brickell, but this is the middle of Kendall. We ordered four soft drinks and the tortilla chips with pico (chopped tomatoes & onions) while we decided on our food and accepted the server's offer of melted cheese (extra charge). When they arrived, it was not only obvious that the chips had come out of a bag (surely a cheap, generic brand from a big-box store), but that they were beyond stale. The "cheese sauce" was disgusting and made the crap they give you with movie theater nachos seem like a delicacy. We quickly decided not to take a chance with any of the main dishes, especially at these prices, and politely let our server know what we thought and asked for our check. You'd think she would only charge us for the soft drinks and leave the chips off the bill (especially since we left the basket untouched, except for the two chips we tasted) but were instead presented with an $18 check. I dropped a $20 on the table and left, greatful that the experience didn't run up to more than $100, which would've been the case if we had ordered four full meals. I would definitely not recommend this place.

So you like comfort food from all over Latin America? This is your place! Great ambiance to hang with buddies and like I said its comfort food so prepare to pig out. On my recent visits I've had the nachos to start and later the original burger. These two items definitely sent me feeling 20 lbs heavier but well worth it. lol Some folks have room for dessert, if so the Timba is absolutely delicious (a must!) Interesting menu lineup, great concept hope this place sticks around for a long time.

I gotta say, this place is the best if you have no eaten anything all day. The portions are gigantic! Wasnt too happy with the chimi burrito since it just was over stuffed with soo much ingredients that i couldnt really enjoy the flavor for what it worth..its almost like "too much" food to the point that it grosses you out a bit. Ill have to try something else next time since this place does offer a variety of foods. On a good note, the Calamari was great! Perfect portion for 2 people and the taste was delicious. Loved the 2 homemade sauces that came with it. Be prepared to wait since there is limited number of seating and the food also takes a while since everything is made from scratch.

The good: Ordered the Muffin Top 1/4 burgers all burgers were delicious , the Frita was the $&@! And best we tried, the Mexican was , we also got the western and the champ which were good as well, everything we was great. Our server was great, not complaints anywhere. Can't wait to come back The bad: I got too full too quickly and couldn't keep eating

I give this restaurant three stars, mainly because of the service... My husband and I went on a Sunday night around 8 pm. The hostess told us that it would be a 15 minute wait for a table of 2. We noticed that a quarter of the tables were empty but we patiently waited. After about 25 minutes, we noticed that the hostess had disappeared and now the restaurant was half-emptied. I asked one of the servers at the bar if I could speak to the manager. The manager seated us within 2 minutes but the hostess was still nowhere to be found. The manager ended up being our waitress, which leaded us to believe that they were short-staffed... Something that seems common from reading other Yelp reviews. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer that took over 30 minutes for it to be served. However, it was delicious. From there it took another 30 minutes to get our burgers, which were absolutely delicious. We weren't even done with our burgers, when the manager/waitress asked us if we wanted dessert... "Now, you're hurrying us up!?!?!? Oh hell no" was what went through my mind. My husband told her to give us a moment. Eventually, we did order dessert, Balls to the Wall... Amazing. We took our sweet time eating it. As we were finishing up, we noticed that the staff starting cleaning. The manager clearly takes on a lot of roles in this restaurant because while she was sweeping and cleaning, one of the waiters and one of the busboys were standing behind the bar, on their phones. My husband wants to return but it will be without me... Although the food was delicious, I don't appreciate having such bad customer service.

Started with a foodtruck now we're here. In Kendall that is. They started spreading their Deliciousness in a foodtruck that lead to the first location. Located in a small strip mall with a nice size parking lot. The restaurants has plenty of seating inside. I have had the queso fondio and the lobster bisque both were tasty as a appetizer. So are the Hawaiian mini burgers. Small cheeseburgers on sweet mini rolls. Delicious. I also have had the tacos with shrimp and steak. The shrimp ones are addicting. The chimi is one of their popular dishes. It's a fried chimichonga with rice, maduros, and whatever protein you choose. They are tasty. Also the flatoon. It's a flour tortilla with your choice of protein and vegetables on top of it. They also have a large of burgers to sample. They must be good cause they have won awards from Burger Beast for Best Burger. They also have a decent selection of craft beers on draft and bottles to. The best time to come is during the week or before 6 cause it usually get packed after on Fridays and the weekend.

I went to Latin house for my brothers birthday during super bowl weekend. The Service was painfully slow and the place wasn't packed. I ordered a Frita from there and it was undercooked and loaded with that guava ketchup and full of spices, they get my drinks wrong and to top it all off, my grandmothers bank account info was apparently stolen from one of the servers at latin house. Avoid it.

Mirielle C.
I've been to Latin house on two occasions. I really enjoyed my first visit, we had the steak nachos, which were amazing and I definitely recommend you try. I had the burger sampler. The Frita was the best burger, in my opinion. The burgers are huge, they're very good. On my second visit, I had the Chimi burrito. I was expecting to like it more than I did. It wasn't bad, but not one single bite had that WOW factor I was looking for, which surprised me because I love sweet and salty foods and this burrito has plantains in it. My mom also ordered the Chimi burrito and she found a screw in hers....,shocking I know. It was an isolated incident we were assured, they said the screw fell off the lid of their rice maker. It was a lil scary cause what if my mom had broken a tooth because of it? They comped her meal and brought us dessert to make up for it which was a nice gesture. My sister has ordered the tacos for take out before, which she loved. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else, just not the burrito because it just didn't have that wow factor I was looking for. **update** Order the tacos and the sweeddos! The best I've ordered from their menu. I ordered it on my last visit and felt compelled to update my review.

Carlos M.
Ok her I go: So when I got there and thr place looked really neat, waiter was kind and professional. The place was clean When ordering the plates are a bit small on the entree, looks like it's more like appetizers. Order the chimi burrito with vaca frita, the meat was BEYOND salty!! The fries are ok The tables are very weird as it's pretty uncomfortable, they keep moving and are not gripped on the floor. Expect a very big delay when ordering your meal as they take forever!!! Will I be back? maybe as I can't judge the other plates and won't be my preference for future eating.

Finally was able to try this place out with my wife. After seeing it on the triple d's show and it was well worth it. The waiter Jorge was very good waiter and knew the menu really good and was very helpful and informative about the items he told us that they only use fresh items all the time that is why they run out of items at times. Which sucks but is really good too. The madlove shrimp was delicious. My wife has the masitas which look really good and were amazing and my self I had the chimi burrito which was incredible and huge, I was able to have the other half for dinner. Definitely glad we checked this place out and can't wait to return.

I have passed by this restaurant several times and never made it a point to dine her until I saw them on Diners drive ins and dives which got me craving it. When we arrived we were seated within 5 minutes even though the restaurant was not completely full I assume they had us wait because they didn't have many servers that being said I didn't mind the wait because the service ended up being great. The menu is large and had a lot of options. As an appetizer we ordered the chunks and butterflies which was good but the shrimp was def the star of the plate. I ordered a glass of the white sangria and it was refreshing a great drink to go along with my order of the tostadas which to my surprise was large and tasted amazing! My boyfriend ordered the taqueria calle tacos and said they were great, I honetly didn't even try his because I was so busy enjoying every last bite of my plate. Great restaurant Isee myself returning very soon just sad it took me so long to try this place out.

My cousins raved about this place and made me watch a segment on tv about it so my bf and I decided to visit it for our date night. I'll have to call him up tomorrow and inform them on my disappointment. We arrived at 9:30 and waited about 35 minutes for a table that had been open since we had gotten there. The place closed in an hour and there was a line of people waiting at the bar to get a table so that can be understandable if they're under staffed. We were then seated on a sticky booth with no silverware or napkins. We didn't receive any our entire visit, but I could tell that our server, Jessika, was just very busy and that's understandable too. We ordered 3 1/4lb burgers: the champ, the Cuban, and the French with an egg on top. It took about 30-40 minutes for our food to arrive but it is made to order according the the menu. I was really disappointed because our burger orders actually came out wrong. The French burger had no egg and they also forgot to add the honey so it just tasted like a plain burger with Brie cheese. The champ was a let down as well. The Cuban was the only one we really enjoyed and my bf just thought it was okay. I didn't ask to have the burger corrected because it already took so long and I didn't want to bug our nice server. I had ordered a glass of sangria (red) and that was pretty tasty. I am a very light drinker and would usually get a buzz from half a glass of sangria anywhere, but this was practically sprite. Our server brought me a second sangria on the house because of the wait which was really nice but honestly I just wanted to go home. Jessika was very sweet from beginning to end and I think she's an excellent employee. I sincerely think the place was understaffed for a Friday night. The food was sub-par, maybe 1.5/5 stars. I must have come on a bad night. I'm even a little nauseous as I type. :(

Great casual night out!! Comfort food at its finest... Vaca frita on everything! Latin spice to sure put a smile on your face...great service and lively ambiance...Chimiburrito is my go-to dish!... Or go for the vaca frita burger with a fried egg!...PS: leave room for dessert

Elizabeth M.
I am obsessed with this place!!! We order the muffin top burgers (1/4 lb. patties) so we can enjoy different yummy variations. My all-time favorites are the Cuban (queso blanco and guava jelly) and the Elvis (3 cheeses, peanut butter & jelly and plantains). TRUST ME! The fries on the side are curly and thinly sliced. I haven't had a chance to try anything else on the menu because they are that good!!! Jorge is the BEST waiter there - fast and friendly! He made a huge difference in our meal last night and we go there all the time! Just a note, they make their own soda Latin House Cola which resembles a Ritz cola and isn't that good in my opinion. I always ask for a Mexican Coke which is a Coke in the glass bottle and always hits the spot! Overall BEST BURGERS in town!

To quote that famous Diana Ross track, Latin House Grill is the spiciest hangover. I thought I had a good grip on spicy food, but I hadn't tried their mango habanero wings! Finding myself in Kendall and starving on a Friday night, I decided to check out Latin House Grill. Besides, I figured that spicy food would help me beat the freezing 60s. The hostess was friendly, letting me browse the menu and pointing me toward the bar so I wouldn't have to wait the 20 minutes average. Besides, there were a couple of TV's where I saw the Miami Heat own the Knicks! Since I had skipped lunch, I went with a double order: the Chimi Burrito and a small order of wings. The burrito had a decent meat to rice ratio, and the queso and Pico de Gallo gave it a yummy kick. The sweet surprise was the chopped up sweet plantains ("maduros") inside, playing well with the spice. Next up were the wings: half BBQ and half mango habanero. While the BBQ ones had a strong smokey taste, the spicy mango kicked me. I got smoothed over by the slightly sweet mango then the habanero chili hit me. I felt the full effect (numb lips and fire in my belly) but left happy. The wings could have been a little meatier, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The bar crew was also timely in getting my soda refills.

Not horrible, but definitely not great. Our food was boring, and the flavors just seemed really off. We'd heard a ton of good things about this place, but we had a really disappointing experience. We left feeling a little nauseous. Maybe there was something wrong with their kitchen staff that night. We won't be coming back.

What a HORRENDOUS experience! Service was slow, food was charged with "extras" never told... Food was cold, hamburguer not cooked to what was asked! Espresso machine broken, so no coffee--- as told by the server! Very disappointed. Never coming back nor recommending it!!! Terrible!

This place is or was just "hype". I've been a few times and each experience isn't too pleasant. The service is horrible, both times, and the food is nothing special. It looks like a cool funky menu, but it's not great food. AND they give you these LAME chips as your side, like really?

I came in on a weekday with my best friend after the wait was to long at Flannigans. Boy was I happy she introduced me to Latin House Grill even though we had several bumps during our dining experience. We started off with red sangrias which were pretty good and a queso dip with chorizo which was yummy. The server brought out the wrong appetizer we originally wanted but the queso dip was none the less delicious. I ate the Chimi Burrito w/o rice b/c they had run out of rice but I still manage to drool when I think of it. I had asked for no sauce on the burrito but someone messed up & it came with the sauce. The server was great she noticed and w/o saying anything she offered us a free dessert after all the bumps we encountered. I can't wait to come back and eat the burrito and other items on the menu.

I went there for the first time yesterday. Service was very slow but I understand that it was Easter and they were busy. Waiter was very attentive. I personally did not understand the hype behind the place. I did not enjoy the frita. It wasn't bad but I have had much better fritas. I like the way the do their chips. Next time I will try the chimi burrito. My wife loves the shrimp ceviche and the dessert with condensed milk and maple syrup was very good.

I love their burgers!!!! I would go more often if it wasn't so slightly overpriced. The best deal is to go during lunch when they offer their lunch specials. I came in today and the crowd was not bad despite it was a Tuesday. Vanessa was very helpful and knowledgable about the menu, and made some great suggestions for me.

I came here because of Guy Fieri, which he also visited Blue Collar which I love. Feels like a gastro pub. Our server was great!! We ordered the tacos, 2 pulled pork and 2 shrimp and the original burger. What I love is the little details, because I'm a foodie, like the pickled carrots and the homemade potatoe chips. I loved the variety of beers and their sangria which is made from a local business. It was our first time, so of course we topped it off with the "balls to the wall" dessert. The only reason for the 4 stars is the price but it was enjoyable, will return!

It all started with their food truck. Now they have a go to restaurant whenever you crave their awesome one love burger. For appetizers we got the tiger shrimp ceviche. It was just a basic ceviche with shrimp, onions, tomatoes, lime, pepper etc... I could make it at home nothing like passion fruit corvina ceviche that le beau brought home once from a catering gig. It did have a good portion of shrimp tho. Worth $15 ehh not really. This time tho I did not get their burger. I got their chuchi bowl of rice with the steak. very good portion for the price about $9.99 plus $2 for the steak. Yellow rice was cooked perfect NOT mushy... I HATEE mushy rice and most yellow rice I've tried (arroz con pollo) super mushy. The steak was good too. I would have loved more of that sauce they put on the bowl though. Le beau ordered the Masitas which is like an open face taco. He got the steak as well. It is nothing special no new cool trendy flavor combo or anything but a good eat. He also ordered a sangria which was tasty but not the best. Overall for lunch we spent 70 including tip. Service was so-so and it wasn't super busy. I was going to leave cash tip but they couldn't break my $20 bill because they didn't have the cash to break it?!? I don't get it.

This is my second time at this place and I'm never going back .. Clearly the management does not know how to run a restaurant .. You will wait for an hour to sit even though they have empty tables and u will wait another hour for the food .. So if u wanna wait a couple of years for a hamburger be my guest .. Otherwise take your money elsewhere .. Plenty of good burger joints in Miami

Saw this place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. You will not be disappointed. Food is outstanding. Servers are excellent. No suggestions for improvement. We will definitely be back.

This restaurant is confused. It doesn't know if it's Mexican, American, Caribbean, or what. I wish they'd pick one and do it well, instead of trying to do them all and failing miserably. Whatever you do don't get anything with cheese. There's a queso fundido that hardens 5 minutes after it arrives at the table, looking like something I'd use to plug a flat tire. The only way you can get at the cheese rubber is by putting your tortilla chip through a one inch layer of grease floating on the top like an ominous warning of what's about to happen to your intestines. My husband always gets the burgers, and having tried them I can confidently say that there are many other tastier burgers in South Florida. So I order some chicken tacos thinking that it's simple enough. Again, the cheese. It glued all the chicken together to make a mass of chicken that was inedible. The service is great, atmosphere lively with the street art and graffiti murals painted everywhere. Also not that loud, which I appreciate. I really don't see what the big deal is about this restaurant. There are better places to eat and while it's convenient I will avoid it in the future.

I LOVE the food here, BUT... The hostess at the door will tell you that its a 45 minute wait when its actually more lime 20mins. And then when you get inside yoi notice a ridiculous amount of empty booths! They tell you that they make you wait outside because the kitchen is backed up. Honestly...as a paying customer who thoroughly enjoys rhe food here, I would much rather wait the 20-45mins INDOORS! Its summertime in Florida. Mosquitos and heat do not do not make for a happy customers. I still LOVE the food tho!!

One of those nicest place here in Miami that serves great great food. The one that appealed to me the most was the Queso Fondue. The taste was one of the kind, I've never tried anything like this before. And I am very surprised that I like the taste of it after the first bite. They also got massively good tasting Elvis Burgers, one of the most tasty burger that I had in my life. This is a burger that you can only have here in Miami so I would never miss this one if I were you. Great fun place. Will dine again.

This place has been open for about a year, and they already won The Burger Brawl !!!!! ***Beating top restaurants like Swine OTC Pincho Factory blah blah blah!!!! That is an incredible feat in itself ! ! ! Anyways, I came here for dinner with a friend yesterday and had one of their burgers (not sure of the name-- it was the one that won the Burger Brawl) it had crystallized jalapenos on it and was meaty-- completely delicious. It could have been more savory, but the combination of topping was delicious. Aside from this, it came with a side of French fries that were shaped like ribbons, and although they could have had more crunch, the silky texture of it was divine. Next time I come here (and yes, I am planning my next visit) I will order a burger. You can get two 1/4 pound patties for the price of 1/2 burger. I heard the Elvis is pretty good, although I am not sure about the peanut butter and jelly toppings. Can't wait till my next visit. Thank you servers for your hospitality!

Pack your patience. You'll need a ton of it. For once, I did not Yelp the reviews beforehand. My kid invited me, and I was not about to say no to free food! We arrived at about 2:30pm for lunch. After a short wait, we were seated at a picnic style table where the waiting area usually is. No back support is not good. We noticed an empty booth and asked if we could move. As we are moving, we notice that there were 3 other booths available. Note, our original table was removed and set up as a waiting area again. The hostess was friendly and our server seemed nice enough. Our drinks were brought out promptly and we placed our order. Then the wait started. We must have waited for a good 45 minutes for our appetizer, if not more. Our entrees arrived a little later. The food was good. Everything we had was tasty and well prepared. I really like their fries. The sangria is really nice too. My husband really enjoyed the guava ketchup. No complaints on the food whatsoever. But that is just part of the dining experience. We made the mistake of ordering dessert. We ordered the Balls to the Wall with ice cream. Actually, we ordered just one ball. Ladies & gentlemen, our one fried ball took 40 minutes to get to our table. And only because I had to get up and ask about it. The excuse given by the server was that the food runner was looking for the table at the entrance. Well, um. If the table is not there, shouldn't they ask the server who it belongs to? And shouldn't the server have checked back on us at some point in those 40 minutes? Plus the rest of our food got to our table. Seriously,I could have walked over to Sweetness and grabbed some dessert there. We placed our payment down and played the waiting game again. We finally walked out the door at 5:55 PM. Prices are a bit on the high side for the most part. Nothing too unreasonable, but still. $14 for a vaca frita chimi with a tiny bit of fries on top for decoration. I can get a full on vaca frita steak with rice, beans and fries for about $10. But again, not too unreasonable. Our total came out to $72 for 1 cheese dip appetizer, 2 chimis, one burger, one beer, one sangria, one soda and one ball with ice cream. We totally understand that it is not fast food. We know that it is prepared when ordered. But I have yet to sit and wait that long in a casual restaurant. I don't think I ever have, actually. Even at high end restaurants. And we eat out a lot. One other nit pick note to make. They calculate their suggested tips on the total amount including taxes. Although we usually do tip on the full amount, that is not customary. So if I ever get a hankering for the chimi, I will call ahead and pick up. That is, if they offer take out. But I do no foresee myself dining in any time soon.

Very nice place to come eat. Was a bit disappointed in the tacos. I saw them on TV actually and thought i'd try it while I was down here but not all that great, honestly. Other then that, the service was excellent.

Honestly, the service was okay. Nothing spectacular. BUT THE FOOD WAS SO YUMMY!!!!!! I had nachos and the burrito. Nachos were okay. But that burrito ...oh my god was so delicious. I was so full but my taste buds did not care at all! I ate the whole HUGE burrito. 5/5 for the burrito. I wish I tried the desserts which were very tempting to order.

This place is pretty good, it's different than other places. Their signature dishes are the chimi burrito and mad love burger, their tacos are pretty damn good as well. It's a bit pricey for the kind of food they make, but I would still highly recommend them. The owners are wonderful people and have worked their tails off for years (since their truck days) to get this spot open and running.

Love having this place nearby. The food is always excellent. I love the candied jalapeño on everything. I wish they had more choices for sides with the burgers. Can't wait for lobster rolls to be back on the menu. Beer selection is great as well.

I had the worse experience of my restaurant life at this place. I was with my 4 year old daughter, 7 year old niece and 4 friends. Ordered our food, mine was terrible. It tasted disgusting and the putrid smell coming out of those pig wings was unbearable. I kindly told the waitress and whispered what my plate smelled like. A few minutes later, the owner came and was so so so rude, classless and just disgusting with me and the whole table. We were completely appalled. She actually even told me that she doesn't appreciate me insulting her chef. WOW! Didn't know that not liking a plate on the menu and saying that it smelled putrid was an insult. So much to write but in a nutshell : WILL NEVER EVER step foot in here again and as a business owner myself will make sure all my clients know about this experience. Still can't believe that lady is the owner.

We went there yesterday, waited and hour to sit, 45 minutes for the food, plenty of empty tables, 3 overcooked hamburgers, 1 maduro in my chimiburrito, and 5 pissed off customers. Won't go back, and im guessing the people in the table next to us who got up and walked out won't either.

NPS = 7 Great nachos and pretty ok bar too. It's great that they offered Brooklyn Brewery's Local 2 bottles. Corked in a large bottle (750 ml bottle approx), it is definitely the beer of choice here. For starters, definitely get the vaca frita nachos. It's nachos with shredded marinated beef on top and totally worth it. The burritos are also a large size and they even have lettuce wraps in case you are trying to watch your figure. We came here for a friend's birthday and the crew was very helpful...they even saved the cake we brought to be served later in the night. I believe Latin House started as a food truck and now has become a brick and mortar. You definitely get a taste and feel for the food truck origins. To make this place better I would probably teach the bar crew a little bit more about the craft beers they serve. This is only so they are better equipped to describe the different beers they offer. But other than that, this place is alright in my book.

Amazing food and service all around. Burgers are extremely juicy and tasty. Tried the original, champ, Cuban and French burgers. All over-the-top with flavor. Champ was my fav by far. Had a little kick that was just right. Oh, and the balls to the wall dessert left me in a food coma. Que Rico! Have to come and try for yourselves!

First time visitor here. My SO and I came here during our lunch hour. We waited about two minutes upon entering for someone to acknowledge us and seat us. Five minutes into us being seated another table was also seated, given menus, and had gotten their drink orders taken to their table. Meanwhile, there we are waiting for our waitress or for someone to greet us. Nothing. The place wasn't busy enough to use that as an excuse. The whole other side of the restaurant was empty, about 6 open tables on the left side, and an empty bar. Safe to say, I didn't feel bad about leaving. As we were getting up to leave some other waitress came up to us and said "Your waitress will be here soon". I think I'll save myself the trip next time and go somewhere else that will provide actual service.

I have been here twice before, it's a cute place, not too much seating but they try to seat you as soon as possible if there is a wait. Had their fried calamari as an appetizer which was very good; really enjoyed the sauces it came with on the side. I've also had the Pig Wings as an appetizer, and they were really really good too. I shared a Chimi Burrito (which was definitely a good idea), it is very big & extremely good. Half was enough for me. It comes with these fries/chips on the side which were also super tasty!
(5)
Jessica M.
Don't be tempted by the other delicious things on the menu, go with one of the burgers, you'll be glad you did. The meat was so flavorful and cooked to perfection and it just got better with every bite. I also tried the chimi burrito, hearing good things about it, but it left me disappointed and preferring a burrito from chipotle any day. Maybe sweet burritos just aren't my thing. Anyhow, very cool place with a bar, multiple flat screens and plenty of seating.

Service: The service was horrendous. We went on a weeknight. They had tons of empty tables, but i guess not enough staff, so we waited like 30 or 40 minutes. Waiter was very busy, messed up our order. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer but he forgot to put it in so it never came. We ordered two different burgers, and both burgers were missing ingredients. For example, one was supposed to have avocado and came with no avocado on the burger. Another was supposed to have crema mexicana but did not have that either. Each burger was missing 2 or 3 of its listed ingredients. The waiter gave us a free drink and 10% off for messing up the order so bad, but the experience still was terrible. Food: If you put aside the fact that we received orders that were missing ingredients, and that the service sucked, the food was actually really good. Burgers were great. The 1/4 pound burgers are smaller than i thought they would be, but tasted amazing. Overall: The terrible service/understaffing at this place is it's achilles heel. This place would get 5 stars if the wait/service/staffing weren't so poor. This restaurant is another classic case of maximizing profit at the expense of customer service. With plenty of empty tables, no one should be waiting. Hire more staff. Also if the waiter had a reasonable workload, he wouldn't be messing up orders. Once again, hire more staff. It's a shame that such awesome food is being held hostage to such bad service. Would love to eat here again, but don't want to wait 40 minutes to get the wrong order/incomplete items again. HIRE MORE STAFF.

Unlike everyone else I didn't hear about them from food trucks. I first about that place on ch 7. I told my older brother about it do he came to eat, he loved the place so he got me a $50 certificate. I decided it to use it on my anniversary and I won't regret it. We had the sneaky nachos w/vaca frite, pigs wings & for dinner the chuchi yellow rice w/vaca frita & the taqueria calle w/vaca frita & carne asada. It was all delicious. The service was great and so was the food. I'm glad I heard about this place.
I have been going to the ~ Latin House Grill ~ when it was just a traveling food truck back in August 11, 2011 ~ trying to establish a name for itself at the height of the "Food Truck Wars" in South Florida. Well since then we have watched them change from a tiny caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly ~ living the American Dream of success and evolving into one of the best burger joints in our three counties. On our last experience we went for lunch and tired a delightful new array of items (see photo's) We started off with a new appetizer ~ ~ Queso Fondue ~ "A blend of 3 cheeses and Mexican chorizo, melted and served w/ fresh tortilla chips." ~ We where expecting a creamy cheesy, mouth watering fondue mixture that was light and fluffy and to be able to dip our freshly made tortilla chips (...that were great) into this creation with ease ~ NOT - It was just a nicely melted array of hot cheeses layered over the top of their house interruptions of a "latin" chorizo that was rather greasy. ~ Don't get me wrong, it was good, but we had to struggle to get the cheese onto our chips (without braking them) by either using a knife and fork to enjoy this treat. Maybe our expectations of what a "fondue" is has been recreated to meet their consumer interruption. (rating ~ three stars) Now, if you have not been here before, you can order two sizes of burgers. Their rather lager (1/2 lb. burgers called "Madlove") or ... ...for us the smart thing to do to enjoy their large variety of burgers is to place your order as ~ two, 1/4 lb. burgers called "Muffin Tops" ~ which are all made fresh with brisket, chuck, and sirloin combination that is ground daily and served on a freshly baked Brioche bun. This gives you the ability to cut them in half, letting you share with your partner the variety of mixing and matching of burgers that you haven't tried. ~ (Oh yes, there is a strategy behind my madness for experiencing all their treats) ~ ...and i suggest having your burgers prepared via the "chiefs recommendation" which is today was "medium". (juicy, tender and well very seasoned). ~~ Let's get down to what we indulged ourselves with ~~ ~Entrees: ~ Our "Muffin Tops" selection for today's was (see photo's): ~The "Original" ~ "THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL", the Award Winning, three cheeses, two strips of thick cut apple-wood smoked, maple glazed bacon, butter grilled onions & mushrooms, Avocado-Lime, creme. ~ (rating ~ five stars) ~The "French" ~ Brie Cheese, Sliced Almonds, and Honey. (rating ~ five stars) ~All orders are served with a side of their "Tangled Love" fries which are excellent. Light, crunchy and salty ~ I suggest getting a small side of honey to dip them into because to me It just enhances there flavor to that height that your tasted buds are exploding with pleasure. (...oh my!) ~Desert: ~ Sweeddos" ~ OMG, what a burst of flavors ~ they are freshly made Madagascar vanilla dough fried to perfection and "injected" with "leche condensada" and drizzled with warm maple syrup and lightly powered sugar. ~ Something that can really appreciate coming from Miami-Dade County's Latin/Cuban cuisine. (rating ~ five stars) Well their "fame and fortune" has been well recognized throughout South Florida and now nationally (Apr 25, 2014) by The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives starring Guy Fier. ~ (see photo's) The service is always excellent and the establishment is colorful and very well decorated with large bright graphics (...like the Wynwood Walls of Miami) ~ One thing that we love is the hundreds of large bare light bulbs dangling from their high ceiling on a black industrial cords in an architecture appealing array of symmetrical design. They do have multiple very large screen HD TV's placed throughout their establishment making our dining a little more exciting by watching the 2014 World Cup a pleasure. Remember, that they do have a variety of ice cold draft beers to help you quench your thirst. ~The bottom line: I have never be disappointed when I have gone there and would given it four-and-a-half stars but we have no such rating. ~ So then, it's a solid four stars for it is always nice to try to motivate establishments by discreetly pointing out very small weakness, in your opinion, something in their menu or service so they can strive to improve your next culinary experience. Cheers!

A twist on Hispanic food, delicious! Very large portions, fresh, flavorful! We went for lunch, had the nachos, split with vaca frita and cilantro Lime chicken. We loved it! Shared the chimiburrito, also delicious! Hats down to the chef and team! We'll be back!

The food was fine. The reason behind the 2 stars was the wait time. Our party waited 30 minutes when clearly seating was not a problem even though it was Mother's Day. The restaurant was half empty with over 15 booths available however we were not seated. Service took even longer. Even after bringing it to the attention of an employee we still had to wait... And wait... And wait. The restaurant was not understaffed either. There was no logical explanation for the lack of timely service in being seated and served. We were a party of 5 adults and 4 small children who were not having the waiting after hour two of sitting down and waiting at the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and extremely apologetic. Probably the only employee on the clock that actually cared to work. We arrived at 6:30 pm - seated at 7pm and left the restaurant at 9:25. NEVER AGAIN.

We went here back in December after visiting family . I saw this restaurant on Diners drive in and dives with Guy Fieri. I asked the waitress what he ate when he video taped the show here. She told us 2 entrees. One is no longer on menu. My wife tried the one that is on menu and I tried something else. The restaurant only had 4 other patrons in it. So I was afraid of that when I saw that there wasn't many people eating there. That should have been the first clue to get up and leave. We decided to give it a try anyway. Big mistake. Food was horrible. Don't waste your money eating here. Very disappointed

Back in 2010 I had given LHG a 5 star review. That was for the food truck, not the restaurant. This restaurant is around the corner from my house, so I have been to it numerous times. Not only because of its convenient location, but because for the most part (what I order) is usually always good. I can't say the same for the service. 9 out of 10 times the service sucks ass. What should be a 1-1.5 hour dinner turns into a 2.5-3 hour dinner because the server disappears, or things come out wrong.. forget about drink refills. The tacos, spicy carrots and mango habanero sauce are addictive though, so even still I would return, and of course the balls to the wall desert. But come on, how could you possibly mess up a deep fried brownie topped with ice cream? ..you cant. As of lately they started changing the topping from my beloved carnitas tacos from what they used to put on them (coleslaw, tomatoes, sour cream & guacamole) to just onions and cilantro. - So that sucks. Also, the place is looking dirtier and less clean every time I return. I had a bite of 1/2 a Mad love burger that my cousin didnt want to eat and the meat was so soggy and mushy, I didnt take another bite -- and that should say something because I LOVE burgers (and have no problem taking one to the face). The "pig wings" i tried were not good at all either. In conclusion my last visit which was this tuesday left a bad taste in my mouth (literally), and like usual the service sucked too. I don't think I will be back for a while.

We came here last night, the day after Halloween. We were told there was a 20-25 minute wait which we though was reasonable so we decided to wait. After 30 minutes I went to the hostess to ask how much longer it would be and she told us another 15 minutes. 25 minutes after that we were finally seated. So we waited about 50-55 minutes just to be seated. Then we ordered our food.....the food took about another 45 minutes before it came out. Besides the awful service they were out of so many items that we wanted to order (including beer and food). The food was good, but was not worth the nearly two hour wait. Had I not been with friends I hadn't seen in a while, I easily would have left. The service is poor and I would suggest not going on a busy night, as you will probably easily wait an hour (and more for food).

I went there with my Dad and my 7 year old twins. It took a while for the waitress to get to us, they were obviously understaffed. Later she confessed to us that someone had called in sick and they had "thrown a bunch of tables at her". I ordered the Queso Fondue and was told that they oven they use for that appetizer was broken. I decided to pass on the appetizer. I ordered my kids burgers from the kids menu. My son likes his with cheese, ketchup and mustard. The waitress told me they didn't have mustard. I asked if they ran out and she said that it's because their chef is "very particular" about what goes on their burgers. My answer was that I am too. I would have just left if it wasn't for the fact I was with my father. I understand if Mr. Chef doesn't like the idea of people putting certain condiments on his works of "art" but we're talking about a kids burger and it's a hamburger joint. I ordered the Bulgarian burger, whose name is terrible, but was actually very, very delicious. The red sangria was also very tasty. For dessert I ordered the "Timba" which is described as queso blanco injected with Guava. When it came it was chunks of queso blanco which had been fried to the point they were dry and the guava marmalade came in a little ramekin on the side. The sweetness of the guava couldn't overpower the saltiness of the cheese. Not a good dessert at all. So in sum, 1 star for the dictator chef who doesn't stock mustard. 1 star for having a broken oven. Waitress was nice and apologetic as was the busboy, so they bring up the score a bit. Burger was 4 stars. Dessert was terrible. If you like a big burger with some different ingredients give them a try. Don't expect fast service or go there if you are with picky eaters.

Known for their burgers. Nice place the only complaint was that it was a bit hot. Other than that the menu looked pretty unique. Service was decent. My biggest complaint is that I had the burrito that when arrived looked amazing! It tasted totally delicious but the tortilla it was in was so ridiculously weak that upon picking it up fell apart & after the first bite things got worse. However very delicious do recommend & will go back to try their burgers

Don't believe the bad-mouthing. I've been to this place over 50 times since they converted the truck to a full-blown restaurant a few years ago. (Not the easiest of tasks.) And in those fifty visits I have experienced what the Yelp regulars refer to as "bad service" maybe once or twice, an average amount for any service establishment. That leaves only one explanation for why this place gets a bad rep for the quality of its service: perpetuation of "hate". The early reviews that came in during the first few weeks, when they were a work-in-progress, may have been authentic. But what you see now are customers, regular "yelpers", who come in and expect bad service. When you are expecting something due to third-party predisposition, you will see it at every step of the way. Could the server have taken your order a bit faster? Could the busboy have refilled your water with better timing? Perhaps. But this happens at every restaurant, and it is only because of their perception and willingness to join in on the tune of negative reviews that they echo the trash talk. It is easier to say something nasty than to say something nice. When you dine at Latin House Burger & Taco Bar, walk in with an open mind. Expect to be impressed by the food, which is not ready-made. Give the staff a chance, because it's worth the wait. As for the food... The burgers: With over ten different types of burgers, ranging from the Original Mad Love with its three different cuts of beef and three cheeses, to the Juicy Bella, a chorizo stuffed affair, and even to the Elvis, a PB&J + banana burger, there's something for everyone, including a premium version of the regular, ordinary cheeseburger. The chimi: The last time I went to LHG (this is what the truck era people call it), I was accompanying a first-timer. As he read through the menu, he stumbled upon the chimi burrito. He repeated the quote printed on the menu to me, "this is a life-changer." Without hesitation he ordered the burrito and when it arrived, what confronted him was a large, fried burrito filled with their famous yellow chuchi rice, three cheeses, plantains, and meat topped with pico, mexican crema and avocado-lime sauce. I then looked down at my plate to sort out my meal, and a few minutes later when I looked back up to check what his reaction was... it was gone. Addictive personalities should stay far, far away from LHG. The balls to the wall: Remember when you were a kid and would hear the ice-cream truck pass within a 1-mile radius of your house? And you could still hear it because as a child your ears were tuned to pick up their very special frequency, and you would flip out? The balls to the wall dessert summons that feeling every time the server walks out of the kitchen with them in hand. Then you realize it's too much, and too good. But you regret nothing. Tacos, nachos, and everything else: Around a dozen protein options (including veggie soy) are available for a number of dishes made with their own hybrid style of Latin flavoring. To this day I've had almost every single option on the menu, and am yet to be disappointed. The reality is I haven't tried many of the soups and salads on the menu, because I can never resist ordering one of the aforementioned items first. 5/5 stars. All the way. Don't listen to the angry mob.

This restaurant has ok food but they have a major logistical problem. We waited over an hour for a table. That didn't really upset is though, because we were a large group. Once we sat down it took a long time for our server to come around. We ordered right away. We waited another hour and 15 minutes to get our food. At one point we looked around and only 1 table in the whole place had food on it. Something is not going right in that kitchen. For some reason our server just wasn't coming around much either to see about drinks and appetizers. I had the chimi burrito and once it came it was actually really really good. I enjoyed the different flavors of the rice, maduros, and the ribeye meat. Everyone else at my table had burgers. They all said they were just average. The balls to the walls dessert was excellent though. Yummy. I just wish they put more thought into getting people sat and getting the food out to them. I would like to try this place again to see if they can get this fixed because my entree was actually great.

I have been hearing great things about LatinHouseGrill and had been looking forward to trying it. We had tried to come here once before as a family but the wait was too long which reinforced in our mind how great it must be. We were seated as soon as we arrived around 7:15pm. The restaurant was full but still several tables available. The football game was on so were immediately accommodated when my husband asked to be switched to a booth where he had the perfect view of one of the many big screen tvs. The hostess asked us to be patient with our server since she had just been slammed with three tables all at once. But she quickly came and took our order. Our appetizer, two cups of lobster bisque arrived quickly and were perfect. Not to thick, just the right amount of cream and sherry. After awhile my husband started complaining about how long the food was taking. Our dinner arrived 40 minutes after we ordered it. Not at all what we expected after we had so quickly received our appetizers. Although the dinner did not lack in taste, as a matter of fact it was quite tasty, it was not as described in the menu. I ordered the taco lettuce wraps which claim to have hard, crisp lettuce. What I got were four wilted lettuce leaves with my taco fixings on top. I had to cut through the wilted lettuce unlike any other lettuce wrap I've ever had which you are able to hold in your hand like a taco. My husband's quarter pound burger was a slider. When the server saw my husbands shocked face she stated "I told you the quarter pound burger was small and the half pound burger was huge." She never stated any such thing....not to us anyhow. We were so disillusioned we didn't stay to try any of the delicious sounding desserts.

I've been driving by this place for probably over a year and the name had always caught my attention, who doesn't love burgers, tacos, and a bar, LOL. My wife met me and the kids when she got off of work on a Thursday evening. Out of pure coincidence we found out after we sat down, Kids eat free all Summer!!!! That's great for me b/c we have 3 kids!!! The two little one had a chicken rice bowl and a steak rice bowl, which came with their homemade onion fries. Zak and Vivi loved their food and ate it all! Gaby had the kids tacos, one steak and one chicken. After we got the kids orders in, we ordered as an appetized their pico de gallo. It was delicious and very very fresh! Highly recommended. Oh I think I forget to mention they had $2 Dos Equis and Heineken's........ The Mrs. ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (4 tacos) 2 carne asada, 1 chicken, 1 vaca frita. She loved them, I took a bite of the Carne Asada and the the vaca frita and they were great! I ordered the "Mad Love" burger, a 1/2 lb burger with all the fixins!!!! The waitress asked if I wanted a fried egg on it and I asked her if it's worth it and her response was, "Go big or Go home". So I had to man up and get it with the egg. This was the first time I've had a fried egg on a burger and i'm a changed man. The burger had maple glazed bacon and cheese, the egg brought it to the next level. I have been dreaming about this burger!!!!!

Shame about this place. Great product but the service is a bit suspect. I've tried the food from back when they were, not even a food truck, but a small trailer in tow. Excellent burgers and fries. Like I said: great product. I'd never gone to the brick-and-mortar but decided to go on a Friday. They told my party (of 3) the wait was gonna be 30-45 minutes. Okay I get it... It's a Friday. Though there were seats outside, and the hostess said inside and outside: still 30-45. Fine. We go inside in the place to get a drink at the bar, and there's even tables open. With a full staff working. However I saw a bunch of servers kind of twiddling their thumbs. Also, our bartender, who must've never poured a beer in his life had no idea what beers were available. Kinda wonky. It had been 25 minutes at the bar, and nothing yet. There were 3 tables open. Very confusing. Me and my party just decided to leave, but before we left I wanted to ask what was up. I asked the hostess, hey, how much longer because I clearly see tables open? She said they just got a party of 14 show up. Bush league, in my opinion. I've seen restaurants deal with more and still function normally. The place doesn't stop for that, especially when you have servers chillin' by the bar. Unacceptable, and kind of a lame excuse. Hope the service/management gets better than that.

We both had the four tacos meal. I had mine with shrimp and my boyfriend had two with steak and two with carnitas. These were seriously the best tacos I've ever had and there were so many items on the menu I wanted to try!! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing from the chips to sliders to tacos. Don't miss this place. We'd be regulars if we lived here!

Great place in south Miami. Loved. Gray service and great food and great craft. Try the masitas with grilled mahi mahi or original burger. Super good. Pair with a nice drink special which they have everyday or a nice craft beer (like a funky budda Floridian). Great place to try. All good here.

Showed up excited to pig out on my 1st cheat day for my new diet. A 20 minute wait on a Friday night seemed reasonable. What I DIDN'T understand, however, was why we weren't seated even though there were well over 8 empty tables in my immediate eye sight. The hostess awkwardly asked us to get out of the way (mind you, we had a 1 year old with us and all the accoutrements that a 1 year old requires for a "peaceful" dinner to occur), asking us to wait outside (under cover, although there was a monsoon in full swing) or at the bar (with a 1 year old, on a stool). Management didn't want the entrance "blocked" she said. She then proceeded to explain that her manager had asked her not to seat any additional parties because she had previously sat too many people back to back and it was slowing down the kitchen. TRANSLATION: "I have no idea what I'm doing, and neither does the rest of the staff. These tables and chairs are just decorations. Don't mind them. Oh yeah, and my manager, my manager, my manager, blah blah blah ..." You get the picture. Was finally seated, ordered (2 sliders + the grilled chimiburrito, which has changed my life in the past, might I'd add...) The food came out quickly and was warm (hence, 1 of the 2 stars). The Burgers and homemade chips were fantastic (the 2nd star), but the chimi was an unedible disaster of salt, salt, and more salt with dried, day-old meat mixed with cheese and little to no rice. I was beyond confused and convinced that my taste buds were betraying me. I couldn't muster a third bite and was saved by my husband's willingness to be a good catholic and share his plate with me. After speaking to the manager (cause duh, Homegirl came around to ask how everything was), and explaining the disaster that had ensued on my plate, she offered dessert (no thanks, I filled up on my husbands slider and chips). She then offered to discount the burrito after assuring me that she'd go back to taste "the batch" (code for god knows what). Let's just say that I was pretty amazed to see that $2.40 had been discounted from my check and I was still being charged for the salt - I mean, burrito. OOOOHH RREEEAAAALLLYY ?!? No. After some back and forth, she finally removed the full charge, but it took way more work than it should have. I left feeling sad, cheated, and very, very thirsty. So disappointing because this place is literally 5 minutes away from my home and there's really nothing like it in the area.

My husband came here for lunch with friends and had sliders. He hated them and never wanted to come back (although picky as he is, he'll eat just about anything). We go for his friend's graduation dinner (he was really excited about that :sarcasm:). It was a set menu. Mexican food is what they're known for so I told my husband he should try something "Latin." We had a choice between "calle ocho tacos" "tostadas" and two burgers. The waiter recommended the tacos since I was between that and the tostadas. I got them with fish tempura (surprisingly good since I'm not a tempura fan) and carne asana (not that great..the meat was a bit rubbery). My husband got the Frita (which he loved). I tried a piece. That guava ketchup was delicious. It tasted like guava BBQ. I also ordered a red sangria (very refreshing and juicy...tastes more like juice cocktail but I liked it). Saw them making a mix of red and white and a waiter told me I can try it. That was very nice but the mix tasted like medicine. They said the red is sweeter than the white. Once I tasted the mix I was like "red is fine, thanks." The pico de gallo is also delicious but I'm a huge fan of it and you really can't mess that up. In the end, my husband was still not a fan of this place. Now...why I'm rating it 1 star (and that's because I can't rate 0). We went last night with friends for dinner. My husband had a rough day since he wasn't feeling well earlier. I wasn't starving (and I'm so glad I wasn't). Unfortunately, for our friends and my husband (who pretty much hadn't eaten much all day)...they were starving. It was 7:30pm when we put our names on the wait list. Wait time: 35mins (that must've been a rude joke). There were tons of people outside. They said feel free to order appetizers and drinks (umm, that's okay 30mins isn't that bad). An HOUR AND 20mins later we're seated. The place has a bunch of booths available. Hmm...so they must be short staffed, whatever. The waiter comes by, we order our drinks. Sangria is still good and juicy (refreshing is what I needed after sitting outside so long). So everyone's getting the "chimi burrito" it was all that was talked about since our friends loved it. I'm not a fan of rice in my burritos and plantains, for me, are a must on the side...I don't mix them with my food...ever. So, after much contemplation, I give in and say I'll try the chimi burrito and I tell the waiter to please give me the plantains on the side (my friend did the same since she hates them but her bf loves them). I asked if the "chimi" rice was a must bc I'm not a fan. Waiter said its better bc it won't give the full effect. Fine. Mind you, it's now 9pm. Didn't take us long to order. After ordering, some people were seated in the empty booths next to us. They ordered and got their dinner before us....really??? Again, whatever. Waiter finally appears with our burritos. He starts by saying (paraphrased of course)... Waiter: "I have some bad news" (really??), "the chef did not put the plantains on the side. He's trying to perfect the menu so he does not want to change anything. He's no longer accepting changes to orders. If it was me, I wouldn't care, but he's trying hard to get the menu perfect." Me: "so basically, if you have a plantain allergy, you're screwed because the chef doesn't want to make changes." Waiter: "well since he knows no one is really allergic to plantains, that's why he's doing it. He's perfecting the menu." WOW! You have to be kidding me?! Where are the candid cameras right now?! I was so mad...not because there were plantains in my burrito but the principle behind this entire conversation. I'm not sure if this was an inputting error by the waiter or what he said was true. If it is true, then it should have been stated from the beginning and/or the menu should specify it so we could have changed our order. Regardless, that was the worst costumer service I've ever received at a restaurant! So I try the burrito (this masterpiece that cannot be changed....which being a foodie, I can understand...but this is not a 5 star restaurant with a well-renowned chef AND this was NOT a chef's plate/choice/special on the menu! Anyway...I taste it. It was like arroz con pollo (Cuban yellow rice with chicken), cheese, and plantains all together in a wrap. I will repeat, I do NOT eat my plantains with anything...that's why they're on the side! The rice was bland and dry. Chicken was okay...definitely did not taste like cilantro or lime. So I just picked out the chicken and had my side of pico de gallo with chips. Worst plate ever. I get why people may like it since many people like the mix of arroz con pollo with plantains but there's many people who don't! Your goal should be to make the customers happy. Clearly that's not this chef's goal. Not sure if I'll be back now. Plantain allergies exist (you can be allergic to almost anything): rightdiagnosis.com/f/foo… Educate yourself!

The good: Food was delicious. Very yummy. Very attentive waitress. Waitress helped to find solutions with a soup problem. Food seemed to be made with lots of care and creativity. The Bad: Kind of loud. Unfortunately we were put in the darkest corner of the restaurant. (Careful of the right side) Because the food is made creativity it takes awhile to get your meal. 15-20 after we finished our appetizers.

I have been to their location twice and multiple times to the food truck a few years ago. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The tiger shrimp ceviche which I'm having today is absolutely delicious. The shrimp is chunky and the kick they give it is just right. It's not spicy but with a kick. A definite must have. The white sangria is very good too. Do NOT get me started on the Elvis. They have taken the pb and j to another level. However.. That is a meal I will probably have once a quarter. Fried plantains, cheese, patty and pb and j. It is the perfect mix! The service both times I've been has been great. So DELICIOUS!!! The location is very hip. However, the booths are a little awkward. Towards the right, the booths are too spaced out. I had to switch booths because there was too much space between me and and the table. They have tvs, the artwork on the walls is amazing. We will definitely be coming here to catch some heat games. Everything is delicious!

The food here is good and so is the service but there was nothing out of this world about this restaurant. I do remember the food being very greasy which was a negative. Not wowed but no complaints either. It was just a meh experience. I like greasy just like everyone else but not when it gives me heart burn. I give it three stars.

The food used to be great when they first opened and we used to go often...service was great and the convenient location close to home was an added bonus. Last time I went, my heart broke. Service was slow...so slow I left without eating after 45 minutes of waiting. I had actually considered not going based on the time before this visit when the food was just...not worth the wait! But again, convenience drew me back. We had kids in our party and I think 45 mins for food is insulting for an adult, let alone a child!!! Nothing was offered!!!!! And lord knows I wouldn't have ordered anything after 30 mins of waiting cause I don't know of I would've ever gotten it. Needless to say, the original greatness of the muffin tops shall remain a memory...with a sad feeling!

Food was tasty, service was so-so. First time here, met up with some old friends to catch up. This restaurant is very spacious, a lot of seating, and the type of restaurant where it's a ok to be little loud because the seating is spread out. All of my friends and I got something different to eat and we pretty much killed our plates. I got the Puffy Flatton: puffy flat bread with your choice of protein (ribeye all the way!), tomatoes, lettuce, and this delish avocado cilantro sauce. One of my friends got the same thing but just on a grilled flatbread. Both dishes get served with tortilla chips on the side. No sauces, so we asked for guacamole (which is an extra $2) but worth it! Their guac is awesomeeee! Every dish comes with your choice of protein, so there's a lot of options. Beef, chicken, pork, etc. And please try the dessert Balls to the Walls! UH-MAH-ZING. It's similar to a molten lava cake. Now on to the service, I'm not sure if our waitress was new or.. Idk. She was nice but clueless. We ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer and we never got it. By the time we mentioned it to our waitress our entrees were already coming out, and she seemed shocked to know we didn't get it, but we just ended up canceling it. She took forever and a day with ringing up our bill and the restaurant wasn't that busy.. So I can't really give her that. Besides the whatever service, I would go back there to try the other foods. Hopefully the service will be better tho.

We ordered from here tonight a take out order. The girl on the phone told me it would be 30 min.! My husband went to pick it up and had to wait another THIRTY MINUTES! I've recommended Latin House to so many of my friends and family but after tonight I'm done! There was no apology from a manager ... NOTHING!

First of all the food is honestly a solid 4 on its own, however do not come here if you want decent service, it will only frustrate you, also don't come here if you have any kind of time crunch. You will not be leaving within the hour and it doesn't matter how busy or not busy it is, could be empty its still a struggle, which is a shame because the burritos are awesome, malanga chips are too. Need a better staff overall

Unacceptable service !!! We arrived at 8pm & the hostess told us wait was 45mins, While we waited we ordered drinks and a guacamole we kept seeing empty tables and no one was being seated. We had 9 parties in front of us and there were 6 tables empty , my husband went to ask why they were not seating on those empty booths & they answered that the kitchen is too small to handle all the tables being occupied .. We got seated 9pm We ordered appetizers & entrees all at once , It is now 9:42pm we r still waiting for our entrees!!! Atrocious service !!! NEVER AGAIN !!

This restaurant actually deserves no stars , so disappointed with the service , came here with a party of 20 for my birthday , the hostess was very rude and asked us to leave . At the bar we asked to be served drinks while we wait and no one wanted to help us , This is very sad because the food in this restaurant is the best , but their customer service by the hostess was a nightmare . Our server was actually nice , the food was as always delicious . Overall I'm gonna think twice before visiting this restaurant again !

My boyfriend and I decided to come here because we were craving burgers. We had heard it was good and we knew food network had been there. We began our meal with red sangria... Which was very good!!! Then we moved on to have the queso app which our server suggested. After waiting at least 20mins it came out. It was not what we had expected at all. It was a little bit of ground chorizo covered in a thick blob of cheese. The cheese had no flavor and we couldn't even cut it with a knife it was so thick and solid. Finally we got three mini burgers the original, american and the western. This were less than mediocre coming from a place known for its burgers. The service was ok but we were past up multiple times by our sever to fill our water up. All in all I would not go back. It was quite underwhelming.

My favorite place to go eat and have a few drinks. The Elvis burger is my favorite. Perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly. And the sweet plantain sets it off. All their food is great. Chef M knows what he's doing. The biggest problem is the amount of money I spend since I always end up eating and drinking so much! Keep up the good work guys!

Second time I have been here and the service speed is terrible! This place needs to hire someone who knows how to run a restaurant. Food is good but the hour wait for my meal is crazy. Watched two tables that showed up 20 mins after I ordered get their food before we did. Sorry but no more of my business for Latin house.

The food here was pretty good. I like that you can order taco with different proteins to be able to try more variety. The food took a little longer than I would have liked. The waiter kept coming back to tell us it will be out shortly. My friend asked for a lemon for his water at least 3 times... The lemon never came.

Food was okay. The Original Burger was okay as well as the Chimi Burrito. The Balls to the Walls Dessert was good. Pricing: The food was absolutely overpriced. My wife and I ordered two main dish and a dessert and it came out to $47. We didn't even order appetizers or drinks. Service: The server was great. However, the wait time for the food was horrendous. My wife and I sat down and ordered at 515pm. We didn't leave LHG until 640pm. I was shocked it took that long since we only ordered 3 menu items. Decor was nice If LHG truly wants to have success long term, they will need to solve their food pricing and the wait time for your food orders.

Jorge F.
Straight fire! First time here. I had the Chimi burrito with fire shrimp. It was amazing! We also ordered the chicken Sneaky nachos for appetizer. These were also amazing. We tried several main events. They have a great selection of draft beers. Now for dessert, we had Balls to the wall, and we also had these little balls filled with condensed milk and cheese, they weren't the cheesecake bites, but I can't remember... These were also amazing!

Patrick C.
What a Shame!!! Amazing food, amazingly BAD service! To start, we waited for over 30 minutes with empty tables everywhere. When we finally got seated, there were uncleared tables all around us...so gross...that stayed uncleared for most of our meal, while tons of people were waiting! Three different times servers brought food that wasn't ours to the table...three times...we thought we were getting punked. The floors are sticky and slippery at the same time (how is that possible?), and the tables are shorter than the booths....uh...what?? So wierd. To top it all off, it was Fathers Day, I was with my wife and daughters, and not one employee said Happy Fathers Day??!!?? The entire front of house staff were kids with absolutely no clue. If ever a restaurant needed a FOH Manager, its this one. Such a shame, the chef has chops, but theres just too many great eats in Miami (that actually care about service) to waste your time and money here. Great food, I mean, really great, but I will never go back.

Wow what can i say, chimi burrito is the best burrito in miami, the ambiance is nice and service is great. Everything on the menu looks so good, my dads sangria was the bomb, the chicken and pork have a unique taste to it, really recommend for dinner, awesome experience and will be coming back

My taste buds had forgotten just how good the food was at this place. I had the two sliders for the price of one burger. I choose to do the cuban and the traditional. Both were good but the Original was phenomenal. One of the best burgers I have ever had. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anybody else.

DISCLAIMER: when I wrote my last review for Latin House I was pregnant. So I may have been a little moodier than usual, BUT, I still stand by my sauce on a spoon issue. Anyway, this visit was just what I needed to bump them back up to the 5 stars I KNOW they deserve. Let me make one thing clear, the food here NEVER lacks anything. That being said, the sneaky nachos were DELICIOUS. The muffin tops, as per usual, were also DELICIOUS. They seem to have worked out the quirks on the service end, which is great. P.S. Once a stalker, always a stalker!

Not only was the food delish, the service was excellent at Latin House. We had the sneaky nachos with vaca frita. YUM! I had the Original Mad Love burger which had three cheeses, bacon and avocado-lime sauce...OMG. So good! I couldn't even finish it, it was huge! Decor was cool but I will say though, the place is a little pricey. Aside from that, no complaints.

I would give them 4 stars but their service is terrible and the good prices have gone up like crazy!! I've been their a few times and I absolutely love their appetizer for quesadilla's and the chimiburrito! The lettuce tacos are amazing as well but the service their is horrible! They take for ever to sit you, then forever to attend you. I even tried pick up and there was one employee (I think she was even a manager) just on the computer. She didn't acknowledge me or even try to help when I said "excuse me" she just ignored me. I really felt like leaving but my food was paid for.

Natassia M.
I've been here a few times for lunch with coworkers and I'd have to say this restaurant is completely overrated. The food is good but not great... I always order the skinny nachos with chicken but it's never consistent. Some times the condiments are not even so I end up with only nacho cheese, chips and some chicken the other time the portion was a lot smaller. The service here is not great. I can't say it's bad because there has been a time that I've had good service but for the most part the servers are uninterested in the customers. They take ages to take your order and are generally not pleasant. Once, I had a waiter just throw the menus on the table and walk away. I don't ever choose to come here... I'm usually dragged by a coworker. I'd probably be more inclined to come if the service was better.

First time, the food is good, the sangria of the chart, and the service was excellent, economical enough to make it a most visit. The only improvement I would suggest is the tables need replacement.

Nice new place for lunch. Sangria is a must! (It's award winning). Sneaky nachos were my favorite. Anything with vaca frita is amazing!!!! Service was on point!

Michelle D.
LHG adore your food but the service has to improve :-( Hostess needs to do a better job at accommodating guests and servers don't seem to last which doesn't seem to be a good sign on the management. Service has been slower than I'd expect on numerous occasions but the food and sangria keep me coming back. Five stars when service changes :)

Jesse L.
Never fails. All visits to LHG are always excellent. Had the nachos with vaca frita. Deeeeeeelicious. Tried the Mad Love burger with avocados and it was awesome. I did notice that they have a bigger craft beer selection. Had 3 different kinds that were pretty good. As for desert. Its a must you try Balls to the Walls with condense milk. Yuuuuuuummy. Would defenitely recommend.

Nydia M.
After hearing about this place for about a year, I finally decided to give it a try. The biggest complaint i heard about Latin House is the slow service. I figured coming in on a Wednesday afternoon would help me avoid that problem...boy was I wrong! We ordered tacos since Wednesday is all - you - can - eat taco day for $12. I had 3 carnitas tacos and 3 of some other meat I can't remember right now. They were delicious! Very good flavor and texture. I could have had a dozen of each. Well, not really, but they were great. The problem? They took about an hour to arrive at our table while the restaurant was 95% empty. And then when someone at my table ordered another bunch of tacos, those were served in under 5 minutes. It made no sense. It feels like they make you wait on purpose. Problem is, people like me only wait like that once. Sorry, Latin House. Miami is full of restaurants with food just as good, but with much better service. I really hope they fix this HUGE problem before it's too late.

While vacationing in Miami I wanted to try the restaurant because of Guy Fieri's show and it was great! We all shared the sneaky nachos with crane asada and were licking our fingers clean! I had the chuchi bowl of rice which was full of flavor and spiciness! Everyone else with me got the chimi burritos with different proteins in it. A great feature of this place is that u can choose your meat/fish/shrimp that u want added to your dish. We then tried the balls to the wall dessert which was fried brownies in funnel cake. I would recommend everything we had and I would go back soon! Our waiter was excellent and made helpful suggestions!

We first went to Latin House because it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Our first time there was good - burgers were delicious and cooked well. We have been back there twice since and will not go again. The second and third visits, our burgers simply didn't taste as good and they were overcooked. The last visit, the servers broke one of our cardinal rules - they served the main course before we finished our appetizer. On top of that, my wife's burger, ordered medium rare, came out well done. A restaurant that prides itself on its burgers shouldn't make that mistake. Not worth it, especially if you don't live in Kendall.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Food is to die for! Such a fresh and great taste to every dish. As soon as you step foot inside you can tell you will be in for a treat. From the smell to the taste, everything was great. AND, our experience in the restaurant Saturday put the icing on the cake! Our server Jonathan was a very nice young man. He was very polite and patient yet very quick. My family and I were able to understand the menu thoroughly due to the time he took to explain the dishes and history of the restaurant. His suggestions were phenomenal, never did I have to ask for refill or napkin. Once a waitress, it is very rare for me to come across young people who care. If I could recommend my top 3 things about Latin House they would be: Chimmi burrito Red sangria Jonathan Again food was great. Service was great. Will be back soon.

This place has some of the best food in Miami. Every time I visit I order something different. I've made my way through a little over half the menu and everything so far has been above average or the best I've ever had. Balls to the Wall is the best dessert I've ever had vouched by a few friends on separate visits. Other stand out items is the Pig Wings and Burrito. Haven't had Lobster lollipops since the seem to be out every time I visit. I'm not happy about some the reviews some people give this place simply cause they weren't treated like Queen Elizabeth when they walked in. Fuck them..

Went there because Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives went there. Decided to splurge and get the lobster appetizer. It was awful. Chewy, tasteless and way overpriced for four pieces of fried lobster. My friends however, had a great lunch with the Cuban burger and the grilled burrito. The service was excellent.

I am a fan of this place because their shrimp tacos are AH-MAZING! MY NOTES: The guacamole is always fresh. On a few occasions, the chips have been stale. Happy hour specials are your best bet, as most dishes are priced above $10.00, even appetizers. The burgers are delicious! The menu is VERY creative. The staff is friendly. They have a private area that you can rent.

Outstanding !! Another Guy Fieri food network joint yes he was here !! I see it on the tv show. I go try it out for myself but this place of the Hook !! Interesting decor , decent service, reasonable prices and food like no other place that I have been too before. We had for appetizer the Fire Roasted Shrimp very different and I had for my main course "The Chimi Burrito, as shown on Triple D... I have no idea how they make it but I could not stop eating and it was Huge but I still could not get enough !! All their plates is topped off with a little homemade lime avocado sauce, that just seems to put the icing on the cake. I will return to the Latin House Grill very soon to dive my taste buds into one of their Triple D off the hook Burgers. Don't forget to order a plate of their Tangled Love Fries you will get hooked !! This place is Hot and on Fire !!

All I have to say is it lived up to all the hype. The food was amazing...the nachos with vaca frita, the chimi burrito, topped off with balls to the wall. Well definitely be back. Owner was super welcoming, came by or take twice to ensure everything was going well. The server was great. To sum it up it was a great experience.

Where have you been all my life? So i guess this place was a food truck and they finally opened up a restaurant on Sunset. Let me start off by saying that the two times ive come here the restaurant has been busy. Great service and there hasnt really been a wait time or any issues the times that ive been here. The firecracker shrimp appetizer is delicious. Shrimp is a little on the spicy side but complemented very well with marinated lime shredded lettuce and carrots. I havent tried the burgers (will update when i do) but the chimi burrito is out of this world. Even the meat inside is marinated very well and cooked to perfection, its really big so split with a friend if you'd like!

Let me start off by saying the food at Latin house is very good. Unfortunately, the service is awful. I went to Latin house when they first opened as I was a fan of the food truck. The food was very good, but it took my wife and I about an hour and a half to get our food. I overlooked the horrible service on this occasion because the restaurant had just opened and probably needed some time to iron out some issues. My husband and I returned two months later. Again, the food was good. Again we waited close to two hours after being seated to get our food. We hoped that it was just a bad day. Perhaps one...or four cooks called out sick that day. We returned again today with our ten month old son. We arrived at 7:45...we're seated at 8:15.. and we're finally served at 10:00. Our son had given up on the night long ago. On a separate note, this was after we ordered sweet potato peels which appetizer was served to another table that had been seated 10 minutes after our table of five. We were told twenty minutes later that there were no sweet potato peels left. The same table was served their meal prior to us. We were told by our waitress that the smaller tables are often served first. After complaining of the service, we were "gratiously" offered a complementary round of drinks. However, not the drinks we already ordered for the last two hours.. but a future round of drinks. Obviously we declined and left. This place could have a bright future if they ever get their act together; however, service like this will only serve to push even the most passionate of fans away. Three strikes was enough for us and I I know we aren't the only ones.

Ordered the burrito for pick-up. Took 55 minutes to fulfill the order and the restaurant was not even at half capacity. I mean, staff on their phones as customers wait to pick up their orders. The wait would have been tolerable if the burrito actually lived up to the description and contained all the ingredients stated within the menu. Very disappointed in both the service and product.

This place is so fantastic, I can't believe anyone gave it less than five stars! I couldn't believe how fast the food came, the sangria was the bomb! And so was out server Kevin! Kevin has a great sense of humor and great taste in wine. My daughter said they were The best quesadillas she ever had and she has had a lot(I'm not even exaggerating. She almost always orders them if an option.) Our new favorite restaurant! The place has a great atmosphere and such delicious food. And The deserts!! The deserts!! You can't leave here without trying one! So happy to have some new Awesome restaurants in west kendall! Open Mondays and we'll be here every one!

I was so excited to eat at Latin House, from the moment I saw the menu. We decided to finally go on Friday night. As we arrived we were seated promptly by the hostess, that was the highlight of the evening. Actually, the food wasn't bad but, it is really hard to say positive things about the food, when so many other terrible things over shadow it. The waiter was inexperienced, unfamiliar with the menu and specials which we knew about bc of Facebook, and was clueless in general about everything else. When inquiring about the specials, I asked the waiter about the "tomahawk steak", the waiter looked at me like I was crazy, it is actually a special that they offer,very often. I don't know about you, but don't use the word "tomahawk" often in everyday conversation, so it is extremely puzzling to me that our waiter would be so unfamiliar with the menu, and the special. After all the "tomahawk" shenanigans, our waiter finally brought us the specials menu. Yes, he brought us a whopping 1 menu to be shared among 4 adults. Our waiter had no idea how many "pig wings" come to an order or how they were prepared. "4 to 6" he said, there were 3 pig wings. When our food arrived, we asked for ketchup. CRAZY RIGHT??!!?? I know, what we're thinking asking for ketchup at a burger and taco bar!!!! Yeah, bottom line, no ketchup. I understand stand to certain extent that the chef would want to maintain the integrity of the recipes that he puts together but, this is a business, and he is in the business to make money. How can you have a children's menu, serve burgers and fries, and not have ketchup. It's just weird!!!! Chef M, apparently, doesn't provide ketchup bc it has "preservatives". But don't worry, they will provide for your dipping pleasure if you would like, 2 spoons full of BBQ sauce served on a very large appetizer plate. Our table was very cluttered so I asked our waiter if he could just bring a small bowl and he responded by saying "chef m is very particular about the way he serves things, this is the way he wants to serve his BBQ sauce". So, apparently there is this whole plan on how BBQ sauce is going to be served, not ketchup, at a burger place. OK, makes perfect sense. We were never asked about wanting refills or more beers. Our waiter was always lost and never to be found. There are only 2 desserts! Alright, not that big of a deal but, the problem is that the 2 desserts they do have,are practically the same thing. They are both cleverly named deep fried dough, with sweetened condensed milk, one has chocolate in the middle and one doesn't. Yes, I agree, sound delicious, and they were but, how about some diversity. When are dessert arrived we were given forks....?!?!? I asked for a spoon and was told that they had run out. I wonder why they ran out of spoons. Maybe if Chef M wasn't so ridiculous about the way he wants his inexperienced staff to serve, weird BBQ sauce, instead of preservative filled ketchup, even though there are organic alternatives, at a burger place, maybe, there would have been enough spoons for their two deep fried dough desserts. Yes, I know that sentence went on forever but, I want you to know that this negativity is all stemming from the fact that I had such high hopes for Latin House. Last and final nail in the coffin, is when our bill arrived. There was an automatic 18% gratuity added. There were 4 adults and 2 children that didn't eat. Completely, ridiculous!!! I really hope that Chef M gets it together. Apparently he is putting way to much thought on how he is going to present BBQ and not enough time on what is going to keep his business thriving. I love how there is such a discrepancy in the reviews, either people hate this place, or 5 star love it. Maybe they should put more time and effort into making the service better, then begging for good reviews from their friends. Went back in, after a few years, and was still disappointed. Positive was the food was pretty good but, the service was still horrible, and I restaurant was so stuffy and hot, and it wasn't even full. We asked multiple times if they could lower the air and was told it was at its lowest. Food took forever, yes I know everything is made to order not frozen ..... But still way too long. Ordered sweet petals to come with my meal, were finally brought to the table, when I was practically finished with my burger. You would think that maybe they would have taken it off the bill but, nope....

Excellent!! Red sangria was addicting, it's do delicious that you just want to chug it. 3 glasses down and I ordered the vaca Frita burrito and it was delicious in every way possible. Deff big enough to spit with your loved one. Dad had the popular burger and said it was 1 of the best he's ever had. Mom had the.... I forgot but it was some taco and she loved it. Finished the meal off with balls to the wall dessert.... Do not leave the place without ordering this dessert!!!

There is nothing i dont like about this place.. honestl.y, the Mad Love burger is one of the best buirgers ive ever had... their specials are on point - especially on Thursdays when they have the $3 sliders.. its a nice respite from the wallet drain of other local eating spots.. I honetsly have never tried a dish i didnt like.. there were a few service hiccups the first few times i visited (shiortly after opening) but those seem to have been fixed.

Food was really good, well presented as described. Only thing is that you will need to eat it so fast due to the AC blowing over 2k CFM's causing your food to get cold within minutes. Besides that it's good

came here because of a friends birthday and probably would have never ever found it or decided to stop by if it was not for that. They gave the table some nachos that were very very good, but the burrito we ordered looked good on the menu but in reality, it really needed some vegetables, actually every plate really needed some greens or reds or something fresh because everything was quite overpowered by salty and fried flavors. You just get that feeling like you consumed really fatty stuff and i personally don like that feeling. The service was alright and they kind of rushed us out at the end. so meh

I have been wanting go eat here ever since I moved into the neighborhood and wow is this place absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 3pm on a weekday so it was pretty empty. Our server, Blaze, was really friendly and helpful when explaining the menu, he really knew his stuff. My bf went for the chimi burrito which had so much stuff but all I remember is seeing sweet plantains in there! So yummy and well made. I got the Puffy Flatton which was like an XL Chalupa but way better tasting with fresher ingredients. He had vaca frita in his meal and I had carnitas and both were cooked to perfection. The prices are fine for what you're getting, a delicious and well crafted meal! My bf is difficult when it comes to leaving servers a tip but he was more than generous this time around, such excellent service! We both left stuffed and will definitely return.

I love this place, over the course of a few months I've ordered and dined here and the menu had a lot to choose from. My favorite item is the taqueria street tacos, they are delicious and the crema is delicious! I've tried the grilled chimi burrito and let me say that it's huge, two people can share it and it won't disappoint. I haven't had a burger but that's next! The only thing that disappointed is that I've had to pick up my food after I ordered online for delivery, that should specify delivery isn't available. The food is great though.

Had the Cuban sliders, very tasty and surprisingly filling. Our waitress Michele was very attentive. As luck would have tonight was Belgian tasting that featured our 3 favorite beers on s complimentary flight with a Hogaarten, a Stella and a Leffe all great beers from Belgium. Good value for the money, nice atmospheres,

Went to the new restaurant for lunch time. They were pretty busy but it's not the best place for that 1hr lunch. Parking lot was a big pain, there wasn't enough spots for everyone. I witnessed a customer back up into another customers car in the parking lot. I had to drive around a few times to park. Service was good at first and everyone was tentative except my actual waiter. I waited 20min for my check, and noticed the party at the table next to me also had the same problem. Prices are pretty steep at $23 for one person w/ an app. The food was good at least. I suggest a lunch menu that won't take so long and can make this a daily lunch destination. A lot of potential, just got to work out the kinks and the bad apples.

Love this place! I loved their food truck and now I love the restaurant. I go pretty often and the food is always so good! My favorites are the French mad love burgers and the tacos! My boyfriend loves the lobster bisque and the chiming burrito. The staff is very nice and I always have a good experience. I highly recommend this place.

Review #400!! Going back to Miami for this one... Absolutely Loved this place! Food truck favorites right in Kendall! Latin House is a food truck that has now developed their own brick and mortar right in the heart of Kendall on Sunset. The menu includes all your favorite food truck staples like burgers and tacos but with a latin twist. The menu also includes various other items from various other cuisines. The restaurant is a modern style place that is really nice and has a huge bar with TV's everywhere as well. The service is stellar when I was there, but there really wasn't many people there around 4 in the afternoon. The place seems to always be busy when I'm driving by around night time, so be ready to wait. We wanted to try a variety of things, so we skipped out on getting the Mad Love Burger and went about ordering a variety of different sliders and tacos. We ordered 4 different International muffin tops (which are mini versions of the Mad Love burger), the American, Western, Bulgarian, and Cuban. We also ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (order of 4) and you're given the choice of choosing 4 different options. Sounds great. Let's get 2 orders of those (8 in total). We ordered a combination of Fire House Shrimp, Ribeye Steak, Carne Asada, Calamari, and Cabo Wabo (fish). The International Muffin Tops (the burgers) were incredible. I loved every hint of distinction stemming from the different burgers. The American burger is your typical burger coming with Maple smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an avocado lime sauce. The most basic if you're looking to keep it simple. The Western Burger antes it up a bit with Pepperjack Cheese and a Large Fried Onion Ring. The BBQ sauce on top makes it another favorite amongst people, but I really enjoyed the more unique ones. Like the Cuban, which had Guaya marmalade and Queso Blanco. It was a wonderful bite because it seemed as though two different "patties" of flavors were tasted and the guaya and cheese were great. The Bulgarian came with Jalapeno Havarti Cheese with french fried onions. The Havarti Cheese is a very creamy slice of cheese and worked as a glue for the fried onions and burger as well. Each one was good and worth a shot. The tacos were even better though, in my opinion. The Fire House Shrimp had to be one of the best tacos I've had in a long time. The shrimp were massive!! I was expecting small shrimp and probably would have been satisfied with such...but not at Latin House. They really impress with how large the shrimp was. They're flash fried and tossed with Thai chili sauce which was more sweet than spicy, but equally incredible. The Cabo Wabo was great too! The fish was real crispy and clean and made for a wonderful bite. The Calamari taco was ok. Nothing spectacular, while the Ribeye steak was just alright as well. I was hoping for more of a different taste than others, but it was still decent enough. The carne asada was very good but nothing compares to those Fire House Shrimp Tacos. Wonderful place to go if you haven't yet. The place it occupies used to be a sushi place and the decor kind of looks like that. Regardless, the food is wonderful, and the service (during non-peak hours) was stellar. Waitress understood our gluttonous needs and attended to them well. Definitely worth multiple visits.

5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. not even close to 5 stars, but not the worst on the planet, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and I must say it was amazing. The music was not loud and the atmosphere was great (contrary to what I've read in other reviews). We had a male waiter who came around very often and was very friendly. This place has a full bar with a very large variety of different beers, which is nice since we don't have many places like that around this area. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Tangled Love as an appetizer and the Chimi Burrito and the Masita for lunch. The Masita seemed on the healthier side than the burrito, but was still very good. The Chimi Burrito was definitely my favorite thing we ordered. We will definitely be visiting this place again, but maybe for dinner with a few friends. Overall, the service was great, food was out of this world, and atmosphere was cool and enjoyable!

We visited Latin House a couple times right when they opened and despite some opening week glitches, the food was good enough and the employees all so nice, that we've kept coming back. I'm happy we have because they've found their footing, fixed the problems they had with the food taking forever, and everyone really knows what they're doing now. I feel like the appetizers are a little over-priced, but they are all good. I've tried different burgers - the original, the cuban, the french - all delicious. The fries are amazing. The veggie protein option for the Mexican dishes is really good and can fool a carnivore. My absolute favorite thing is the chimi burrito though and it's big enough to split between two people. Also great is their beer selection. I love places that serve out-of-the-ordinary brews. There's a table for domino and I've heard they started doing karaoke on Thursdays!

We went for Cinco De Mayo which was nice and different from the crowded streets of Brickell & South Miami, the food was good and they had beer specials. The $2 tacos are a bit misleading considering they come in sets of 4 (you can mix and match the meats) so in reality they ar $8 not $2. But they are good. We also had the nachos which were very tasty. I wouldn't mind coming back.

Lows:... It's slow. It's pricey for what you get. It's slow. The tables wobble. It's slow. The bench seats slide instead of staying put. It's slow. The music is way too loud and annoying. Highs:...( There really isn't a high per se ). The burger had a good taste, but not compared to the competition. The fries are spiral cut. Some may enjoy that, for the sake of something different. I think the spiral shape means a sort of flat, tongue-adhering shape that takes away the sensation of something crispy. Highs and lows aside, clearly the conversation topic about the place was the TIME it took for everything. It's a good thing we arrived at this place sooner than we had planned. We were lucky to be seated quickly. Others that arrived after us were asked to wait even though tables were empty. It became obvious why they were told to wait. The kitchen can't keep up with even a sparsely populated dining room. After ordering and getting drinks, tens upon tens of minutes will go by. You'll look at the bar, you'll look at other guests waiting to be seated. You'll look at the poor folks waiting to be seated. You'll hope and wish that someone would turn down the music to something more condusive to a nice time at a restaurant. You'll get hungrier by the second wondering if your food was even started. Is the cook on break? Did some staff not show up to work? Are they trying to be slow to make the room seem more full? Should we keep on waiting? Should we ask the waiter how much longer? It's hard to have a nice time at this place. I won't give it a 1 because the food isn't horrible, but definitely no more than 2.

amazing food, creative/original menu, great decor, great beer selection with a bunch of rare beers (UFO, Brooklyn Lager, etc), great presentation with the food, amazing tasting food, super clean, super friendly staff, the bartender let me sample some of the rare beers. I eat out everyday and its really hard for a restaurant to really impress me, I finally found a place which truly blew me away! I'll be a customer for life!!! Thank you Michell for opening something different yet so amazing from everyone else!

I ordered something that I had saw on the show Eat Street I believe, and I was not impressed at all. The menu seems very confusing as you have to "add" meat into your dish for extra money. They actually charged me $2.00 to add meat to my taco. How else would you eat a taco??? Sneaky, not good and will not be coming back!

Rachel S.
Ok I loooooved their food truck burger but what I had here sucked. The service was awesome but the food was really bad. The carne asado tacos were a rip off. Flavors eeww & price was even more disappointing. The famous burrito tasted like a mouthful of 3 year old grease. Ugh vomit ! I should've had a burger but with all the ranting and raving about the tacos & the burrito I wanted to try it. What a disappointment :( I really wanted to like it.

I got a chance to catch these guys on sw 89th ave and bird road. It is a good spot for them because this area is restaurant lacking!!! The MAD LOVE burger was really good. They are drawing big crowds. The Mad love burger has some kind of special sauce, 2 types of meat in the patty, avocado, onions, curly fries, a nice bread, huge size. Size has to be between 3 quarter pound burger to a full pound. Several types of cheeses inside. The meat they grind together gives it good texture and taste. It is a really good burger. The prices are not cheap, for a food truck, but the food is not food truck taste. Its not healthy food, but it is so freaking good, I wish I could have it every day; too bad my cholesterol may not agree with that decision. I tried the chicken taco and the rib eye taco. Both were good, I prefer the rib eye. If they are out of MAD LOVE, these tacos may not be a bad option. It is amazing the crowds these people are getting. I hope we get more food trucks in town like NYC/LA. Give the place a try you wont regret it. I was told that on busy nights the quality is not as good, but I cant confirm this yet.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My buddy was raving and raving about trying the food, so I finally decided to go. Walking into the place feels like it definitely does not belong in Kendall. In a strip mall but has plenty of parking. walked in and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. It was a little busy. It has a more of a mid-town / wynwood feel to it. Love the hanging lights and all the art on the wall. They have a bar in the middle which is pretty sweet and serve many beers that you will not traditionally not find in most places such as Chimay. One complaint I do have is the actual seating arrangements. The booths are a bit small and the tables are just not set up right. Non the less what's up with the food.? Started out by ordering a Chimay then the waiter went off to ask me if I have ever tried the red bottle of Chimay. Told him no and took a chance on trying it. Comes in a large bottle that will probably give you 3.5 - 4.5 regular sized beers. So it's perfect for sharing and pouring a couple beers if your eating with another person. The recommendation was perfect. Moved on to the food. First order was an appetizer. Pig wings. They were AWESOME. At my table the original burger was ordered, the Carne Asada burrito and I ordered the Yellow Tail fish tacos. Everything was absolutely AMAZING! The burger is juicy, plump & delicious with the Latin fusion twist. The burrito is not what your thinking and has a twist to it. It's fused with sweet plantains, some other things and that delicious green sauce that they drizzle on top.. And it is huge! Absolutely awesome! Definitely something you can share. But OMG those fish tacos have to be the best fish tacos I have ever had. They are just out of this world. Its three tacos and once I devoured them I ordered another plate. Don't forget and just go try them now! Yellow Tail fish tacos.. Just wow! Definitely returning. I can't wait to have a Chimay & my Yellow Tail fish tacos and pick off whoever I'm with and force them to have the burrito so I can pick. :-)) Pros- 1. Mid-town/WynWood feel in Kendall 2. Friendly staff 3. Price 4. Beer Selection 5. The Fish Tacos! Cons- 1. The seating. Please fix this!

Finally had a chance to get to the restaurant today. Definitely not disappointed. The same taste and quality that got me hooked from the food truck was not lost in translation to the physical location. You do have to give it some time in terms of interior looks as they are still putting some finishing touches (like paint and better seating for the booths), but you go to a restaurant to eat and be served, am I right? The service was great and again the food was spot on! Quick in and out service and attentive. For those previous reviews that complained about the service I saw no signs of that anywhere here. Again with a new staff you have to give it some time if you have had a bad service experience, but Chef M. has definitely started something great and hope this will be the first of many locations! Got yourself a new LHG stalker here.

My wife and I have always seen this place every time we drive down Sunset Dr. and we finally decided to stop by and all I can say is why did I not stop by like 3 months ago. lol This place is amazing, really nice decor, great food, and an awesome bar. The service was a little slow, but I think they will improve with time. So the concept of the Latin House is a combo of casual bar food and tex mex. Their appetizers all looked wonderful; we had their "Mad love" wings, which they pride themselves on, and they are pretty good, not the" best in town" but a solid 8 out of 10. Their house "mad love" sauce is very flavorful and has a great kick of spice to it. My wife of course like always got the most expensive thing on the menu which was the Carne Asada which was some of the best I have ever had and was only $16.99; yes that is the most expensive thing on the menu. I had their famous classic burger, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was very juicy and the bread and cheese you can tell were of high quality. I highly recommend this place to anybody in the area; I am already taking my brother and sister in law next week to introduce them to this new little gem. This place is great for groups because the food is made with quality ingredients and they serve you very well, I swear their loaded nachos can feed a small country. Enjoy!!!

im lowering from 2 to 1 star, because seriously sending "hate mail" on yelp and intimidating people about their honest reviews is just flat out pathetic.

I thought this place was decent, but nothing overly amazing and a little pricey for what the food is. We came here for lunch and got an appetizer and 2 entrees. The appetizer was the "sneaky nachos" with chorizo. They were pretty good, but as my wife said, "how good can nachos really be?" I answered, "for $10 they better be pretty damn good." These were perfectly fine nachos, but $10 nachos? Humph. For our entrees we had the vaca frita masita and the chimi burrito with ribeye. The masitas were really tasty. The meat was really good and the tortillas were light and tasted good. By far the best things we had here. The burrito was decent, but it was a little heavy and I felt like there was too much rice in it. I am not opposed to the rice being in there, but in my mind a $12 burrito should not be primarily rice. Ultimately, it was a solid, if unspectacular, meal. $36 (pre tip) for this type of meal is pretty pricey though (unless the food is blow me away good), and this was good not great food.

My boyfriend and i came here with a gift certificate I recieved. I order the lobster bisque as my appetizer. It tasted like they had melted a stick of butter and put it in a bowl. There was absolutely no lobster in it. I tried to be polite and take a few more sips.....but I felt like I was going to puke. My boyfriend ordered something as well, it was loaded with grease. I decided to maybe try something else, some kind of fried shrimp. The sauce that it came with was amazing, i was shocked. Then the bill came. There were only 2 other tables. We had been done with our food, 90 % of which was horrible. It took them almost 20 minutes to close out our bill. Both my boyfriend and i also ended up getting sick by the end of the night as well. Coincidence?This place has potential, but I was extremely disappointed with our food and service. Will not recommend to anyone. And will never go back.

what is up with LHG charging a "gratuitiy" and a "service fee" for take out orders?? As if their food wasnt expensive enough? I understand you use the "best" ingredients and yes your food is abosulutely delicious (hence why i spend 65$ for 2 burgers and 2 beers) but why on God's green earth am i being charged extra for getting in MY CAR DRIVING to YOUR RESTAURANT TO PICK UP FOOD???? although it is only a couple of dollars, its the moral behind it. I seriously dont think ill be getting take out anymore if they are just looking for ways to get all they can out of my pocket.

Very slow service. After waiting 45 - 60 minutes for a table had to wait another 60 minutes for food to come out.

Hands down the BEST food truck out there! I honestly cannot get enough of their food! Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that I have tried is absolutely delicious! My absolute favorite would have to be the sliders! these damn burgers are small and delicious! last week I had an American and Cuban slider and loved both. Another fav would have to be the chicken flatton, the sauces are amaze-balls! What else makes this food truck amazing? the friendly staff! no matter how hectic they are, they always take the time to ask me how's my food and if I need anything else (sauces, napkins etc) I once waited over an hour in line for these guys, so yeah, it's that serious! Follow them on Twitter and/or FB to find out where they'll be during the week and get ready for some serious deliciousness. If you happen to be at a food truck rally, LHG will fill you up, so you might want to share the food with someone. Prices are reasonable and they accept cash and credit cards. Oh and they have Mexican coke, WIN!

My only regret is that I didn't try the heavenly food truck earlier... Everything these people make is amazing...the chimis are the most delicious, scrumptious things I have ever had. Their portions are humongous, they're super affordable and everyone is super friendly! Do yourself a favor a try these guys...soon!!! I am an official LHG STALKER!!!

The tacos are fantastic, especially the cabo wabo fish tacos. Better than anything I've had throughout the Keys.

I really wanted to like this place, so it pains me to write this review. I was so excited to come here after following the business on FB and seeing all the pictures of their yummy looking food. We arrived on a Sunday night around 8:30pm. There were patrons there but the place was not full. We wanted to sit at a booth and there were several available, but all needed to be cleaned. Waited for a bit for staff to clean the area. It shouldn't take that long to wipe down a table and sweep. We were finally seated after 10 minutes. Then we just waited and waited. No one came to take a drink order. There were a couple of employees that looked like servers just standing around and talking. There was a server near us that never looked our way. We eventually decided to walk out. No one stopped us and asked how they could help. It was a miserable experience. Good food is important but service is just as well. I realize that making a transition from a food truck to a restaurant may not be easy, but the lack of attention to this very important detail (service) is baffling. Maybe I will give them a shot one more time once the taste of that experience has worn off.

Oh gosh, where to begin with Latin House? This place is an obsession for my family... any excuse to eat there is capitalized on immediately (Heat game? Mother's Day? Got out of work early?). On my most recent trip was happy to see they've actually gotten real menus (laminated, how fancy of them) and have added some wine to their already fantastic beer selection. Not many beers to choose from, but I appreciate a beer list with microbrews or harder-to-find beers. Don't worry, they also have Sam Adams, etc. for those of you who don't like to venture out of the box too often. The food? There are no words. Apps: The sneaky nachos LITERALLY take my breath away. I prefer them with carne asada or vaca frita. I'm not a big shrimp fan but my family has gotten the fire house shrimp a few times and each time it has been devoured with raves. I think the queso fondu is a little too thick (breaks all my chips... I'm not about that), but it is still tasty. For entrees, there really is nothing like the chimi burrito. I prefer it with carne asada, my cousin loves it with vaca frita. It's large enough to feed two, or one very hungry human (or, conversely, one growing 16 year old boy). Tacos are also stellar. The muffin tops are great; I'm particularly a fan of the Western. The French sounds strange, but we tried it upon the recommendation of the waitress and I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, I think we've had every entree on the menu and they've all been great. Reason for only four stars? The service. It's getting better, but it still isn't great. Half the time the restaurant is empty and I still feel like I'm searching desperately for someone to refill my water. We've had a few other service issues but the drink refills is my biggest bother. Regardless, this place is a can't miss. Do yourself a favor - come hungry, bring friends, and indulge in sneaky nachos, a chimi burrito, and a (or many) nice cold glass of beer. You'll thank yourself.

I need some Pepto. I went over hoping to try the much loved Mad Love Burger and to my dismay it wasn't on the menu so settled for a Muffin Top Italian Style. It was a 1/4lb burger on a itty bun topped with LOTS of Italian cold cuts, provolone, tomato and lettuce as well as a little sauce that I'm not too certain of. The burger felt like it was way bigger than the 1/4 promised which I never mind and the meat was fresh and tasty but a little too "tasty". It felt over seasoned and the entire combo (which would not stay in the way too small bun) was difficult to get down even if shared. The price was just right at $6 for a combo which included a burger, nachos topped with meat and cheese and a soda. The nachos were REALLY GOOD! But, alas, just a side so we'll have to go back in hopes that they have some MAD LOVE for me.

kids quesadilla was much better than adult food. had a juicy burger, but so plain. the avocado lime crema is so minimal, a few lines on the tomatoes. they don't have pickles, even if you ask. they don't have mustard, even if you ask. the fries aren't really fries, they're somewhere between string fries and potato chips and very very greasy. just not good enough to go back.

My boyfriend and I have been to this restaurant 3 times in the past few months and the food has always been really good. The services is nothing to brag about, but it is not horrible either. The place is clean and we have been seated and served within reasonable time even though we have arrived all three times during busy dinner hours. Our overall experiences has been good, but the food is definitely the reason why we have come back.

yummy! appetizer: $12 calamari. pretty good. best were accompanying sauces. we housed it. hubby had carne asada steak meal for $9.99 and comes with 3 nice sized strips of meat, 3 plantains, and rice. I had the lobster and filet mignon tacos for $14.99. 2 tacos: 1 with lobster and other with meat. delicious but should be accompanied by chips for that price. 20 beers on draft! didn't have dessert but will definitely return to indulge on extra calories. service was excellent. ambiance is chill and good music. i don't give it a 5 b/c we ordered above with a $5 light corona and bill was $50...really?...a bit much, but we will return. they have a great menu and those burgers are amazeballs if I remember correctly from truck visits.

Hi my name is Vanessa and I am a Latin House Grill Stalker! It started innocently enough, another truck popped up on the scene with their signature dishes and elusive parking tactics. But it is now officially an addictions. Tonight I craved the cheesy yumminess that is a Latin House Chimi and when I opted to have it grilled instead of fried my trying to be healthy fat kid eyes lit up at first bite. I fought hard to resist the chocolatey balls even though the aroma and look of them was taunting me. Alas, I have left them - they will be devoured on another day because I will definitely be eating here again.

Alison A.
I absolutely love the food here. Great selection and quality. The only downside for me is their version of curly fries. I find that they are too thin, get cold and unpleasant to eat very quickly. I just prefer to have actual fries with my burger. That being said, the muffin tops are to die for. If you haven't tried this place out, GO

Alina R.
I went to a mini food truck gathering at the Alpha & Omega church and the aroma from this truck was calling my name. Wow, those burgers were good. I had the little mini version of their Madlove burger and it was insanely yummy. They have some SUPER spicy dipping sauces for those who want to add some extra heat. I wanted to try the Flaton but since I was sharing with someone we agreed on these, and I wasn't disappointed. If you're faced with several food trucks and can't choose, you won't go wrong here.

I didn't know about this place until I saw a Groupon for it. So before buying it I read the reviews and looked at their menu. Everything looked appealing so I went ahead and purchased 1 voucher. We went on Sunday evening for dinner and I must say for a Sunday night it had a lot of people in it. Surprisingly enough one of the parties that was there just so happens to be one of our close friends. He was there with his wife and two kids, he quickly said he loved Latin House.... "good tasting food." So after hearing that from him we were both excited to try it out. For our appetizer we ordered the Fire House Shrimp & Steak; it was an A+. For our entrees we ordered a Spinach Chicken / Calamari Salad and a Fish/FireHouseShrimp Salad. The Spinach salad had good taste BUT it was drenched in their special dressing. Grossed me out really so I just ate the chicken and calamari. I would've told the staff to fix it but I didn't want to wait because I was pretty hungry. The other salad was actually pretty good except that it could have used more protein. I would go back but next time I'll go for lunch and try one of their famous burgers or tacos. On another note, since I see there are some complaints about the staff, we were fortunate enough that the staff that night was great with us. Very friendly and attentive, can't say one negative thing about them.

Chimi Burrito Wednesday night at Cigar Lover's on 83rd and bird was amazing!! I was so looking forward to having one and finally a night dedicated to the Chimi! Now you can pick what you want in it and oh I did, ribeye, rice, cheese, grilled mushrooms/onions and plantains. All the good stuff rolled up then fried to perfection. Great crowd of people the service was excellent as always. It was a little slow but it was cause someone ordered 10 Chimi's before us so we had to wait but so worth it. See ya next Chimi Burrito Wednesday @ Cigar Lovers!

The place was cool but the leather in the booths was broken and the table had a leg shorter than the rest and the glass was held togethet by a piece of tape. The food was really oily and practically laying in a soup of oil and grease. The staff was rushing me the whole time. Will never go back. HORRIBLE!!

I won't reiterate everything everyone has already said regarding the food, my review is for the actual restaurant opening up soon. I attended a soft opening/charity event for friends and family last weekend and even though I didn't try much of the food, my rating is strictly for customer service. I have been to all kinds of pricey 5* restaurants in Miami and the service in this place was seriously impeccable and flawless. For a minute I felt like I was not in Miami at all. Did Chef Ramsey himself train these freaking people? It was almost like they had been on a reality show called "Server Survivor Bootcamp" where if they weren't on point or attentive they were voted off the restaurant. From the moment you hit the door, the hostess opened it, and the service never dropped from there. It seemed like there had to be at least 50 staff members dedicated to this event and they all ran around like they were waiting on the president of the United States. No request was too big, annoying, or couldn't be answered after a quick run to management. A server was even super kind when he had to kick us out for overstaying our welcome at a much needed table when others were waiting to be served (everything was tips and donations that night). We were glad to leave and allow others to experience great service. I hope they keep it up. The burger I had was awesome and delicious of course (you can read all the other reviews for that) but I'm definitely coming back to try all of the other items on the menu. I had never tried their food truck before so they definitely have a new fan (especially since I just read the description of that filthy named dessert, I'll be back just to try that!).

I've been dying to come here ever since I read the review on burgerbeast.com . Burger beast never lets us down! This place was delicious! We had the sneaky nachos, which were great however I fell in in love with my Puffy Flatton! It was so perfect I wanted to marry it! My boyfriend had the Chimi Burrito. At first I was envious of his choice but mine was so good I got over it really quick! Bottom line... DELICIOUS!

I've been here three times. The chimis were really delicious. Depending on who is working, there are different sauces available. Staff is always friendly, despite the fact they work in a people oven. I tried the muffin tops during the Wynwood Art Walk and frankly, was disappointed. It didn't live up to my previous food experiences. If I go back and it's great, I'll upgrade to a five. Otherwise, for lack of consistency a three and I will continue trying other food trucks. The food is not as cheap as you'd expect from a food truck, but they seem to use really good quality ingredients. And the other food trucks I've tried have had the same price ranges.

After experiencing the quality of their food via their food trucks, I was really excited to be able to sit down in their restaurant and see what they could do with all that kitchen space. Unfortunately for it's fans, the restaurant is a huge let down... I'm a firm believer in first impressions and thus was probably the case with my experience when I first entered on Mothers Day. I walk in with a party of 3, and was actually pleased to see that we had beat the lunch rush because the restaurant was probably at 50% capacity. We were greeted by the host, only to be informed that we would have to wait about 30-45 minutes to be seated. He explained that there were reservations already made (understandable) and the available tables were for those reservations. So I took a seat by the front door and took a look at the special "Mothers Day Menu". I understand the reasoning for this, but when you're a fresh restaurant, people are still coming in to experience what it is that you offer. By limiting patrons choices, you're not really showing what you're all about. *Strike 1* As my party and I were waiting (probably about 15 minutes by now) I couldn't help but to notice that every time someone opened the main door, it would slam shut with a really awful bang. It may sound menial to you at first, but after waiting for 15 minutes with that repetitive sound right next to your ear(bang! bang! bang!) it becomes really bothersome. Twenty minutes had passed now and I had yet to see any of these "reservations" arrive, so I made mention to the host. He said, "We'll seat you in about 5-10 minutes." Those 5-10 minutes quickly turned into 15-20 and it took us about 35-40 minutes to be seated at a restaurant that was at 50% capacity. (By the way, during the time we were waiting, not ONE of those reservations arrived....????) *Strike 2* We sat down, quickly ordered (because we had 30+ minutes to stew over the menu) and waited for our order to come out... this is what put me over the top with this place. A waiter came out with one of the plates (Taco Trio) and placed it down on the table. After 5 minutes with NO OTHER PLATES from our order coming out, I decided to point out to the waitress that took our order that we were still missing 2/3rds of our order. Ten minutes after the first plate was brought out, the remainder of our order arrived.... when the first plate was already cold. *Strike 3* The actually quality of the plates were ordered were average at best. The dessert; however, (a brownie covered in dough) was pretty good. By the way, forgot to make mention that our waitress actually spilled half of my plate on my jeans when she was picking up the finished plates. Did I get an apology or a napkin even?? NOPE! In conclusion, my recommendation is to go elsewhere with your business until they have this whole "restaraunt" thing figured out.

This is one of the first food trucks I tried when before the craze started and I just keep going back for more. My only complaint is that now that they've gotten so popular there is usually a long wait. But I can't say that will stop me from going. I'm a big fan of the French Slider with brie, honey, and almonds. It's a total foodgasm. The sneaky nachos and the chimiburrito are among my other faves. And if you like spicy stuff Chef Michele always has a few of his own special sauces like a mango-habanero and a spicy chutney.

I don't understand the recent negative reviews. I went today with my groupon and I had an excellent experience, yet again. We were told there would be a 30-45 minute wait and we were seated in less than that. Our waiter was awesome! He even brought me a sample of the Angry Orchard hard cider to try..which I loved! Our appetizers came out quick and so did our food. Everything was delicious and the fries were definitely not as salty as the last time we went. Some yelpers say they couldn't get ketchup. I asked for ketchup and got it. In a little condiment cup, not in a spoon. As far as the price, I do not think it is expensive as some other reviews state. It's average pricing for a restaurant. I would say its the same price range as a large chain like Red Lobster or Fridays and the food is MUCH better. I don't see how someone can complain about the price. Try getting a large meal at Mcdonalds...its close to $10 for poison disguised as crappy food! If you don't like the prices on the menu just follow them on facebook..they post specials all the time.

This place is great. I had the Steak Chimi and let me tell you it was fantastic. It has fried plantains inside. Hello! I went with the family and two of us had Mexican while the other two had burgers. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. The service is also great and the place is really nice inside. Looks like a great local spot to have some beers with friends on the weekend. We went on a Sunday and they had the Dolphins game on. Need I say more? Next time I go I'm having a burger. They look sooooo good. Oh yeah, and their beer selection is excellent.

The guava & cheese burger was great ! The Mexican to die for! The tostadas delish! The big burger 1/2 was awesome! They took a little long to bring out the food. They can use a little ambiance like sheer shades on the windows do you don't see the shipping plaza parking lot. The bar is beautiful , the music nice and the art on the wall is amazing!the tostadas were fantastic too! I had Carne adada and shrimp

As far as food i would give them four stars. BUT if you are hungry or in a hurry do NOT come here. Service was terrible and the owners wife was extremely unprofessional! Never going back there again. We waited 2 HOURS for our food. When we complained we weretold we were not the main priority that evening because there was a larger party obviously giving them more business. The owners wife (beba) or whatever her name is came over and said it was normal for customers to wait 30 min for their food on a busy night. When we told her we had been waiting almost two hours she said she was going to check to see what time we actually placed our order according to the ticket. I guess we looked like liars. She never came back or even acknowledged that we were right. She never appologized. NOTHING. I will never be eting here again. We took our father out to dinner here. Had reservations at 8pm and left the restaurant at 11pm! Im sorry to say, no matter how good your food is, there are way better places with much friendlier service. This is why start up restaurants like this dont last. I'll spend my money elsewhere

Let me start off by saying our server named Junior was awesome. We were greeted right away. and he made some awesome suggestion. My boyfriend and I went there originally wanting to try their tacos. However, on my first visit with the help of Junior's suggestions, we started off with the regular sneaky nachos and a lobster bisque served in a bread bowl. The nachos were huge for a regular size so I can't imagine how big the large would be. Its a meal by itself. For the main course, I had the international muffin tops (which are pretty much a little bigger than a slider_ 1 for 5.99 or 2 for 10.99) I wanted one sweet and one savory burger so I chose the American[cheese and bacon] and French [brie cheese, sliced almond and honey]. If you are one to like it rare or medium be sure to let the server know because all burgers are cooked medium well. My kids had the chicken rice bowl from the kids menu. It was served with the tangled love and yellow rice. I must say that it was very tasty. We were so full, we didn't have room for dessert. so....... We came back two days later to eat there again. We had Junior again as our server. I wanted to save room for dessert this time. So I didn't order any appetizer. Junior suggested that I try the Masitas. Delicious. It's pretty much a puffy shell with whatever choice of protein you desire. I chose the ribeye and carna asada. I didn't care too much for the ribeye, but the carna asada was flavorful and juicy. My boyfriend had the unlimited taco special for 17.99 per person. (no sharing, no doggy bag, dine in only) This time I had enough room for the dessert. I originally wanted to try the "balls to the wall" but my boyfriend don't care for chocolate so I ordered the cheesecake ball. So I didn't enjoy the dessert as much as I wanted to because I don't really care for cheesecake. so next time, I will try the "balls to the wall" As far as I know on Tuesday are Kids night, Wednesdays are Wine-It-Down, and Thursdays are Karaoke Night. SO FAR, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOOD HERE. Junior hasn't steered us wrong yet. By the way, ask for him. You won't regret it. =)

I moved back 1yr ago from San Francisco where the food truck craze is worlds ahead of what we have here in Miami. But if Food trucks taste this damn good then we have a bright future on our hands!! I've been following another food truck in town that has some delicious fish tacos but I finally stumbled across these guys through twitter. We ordered the Rib-eye Flatton and the chicken tacos! As it was my first time there I let the owner suggest what I should eat and he suggested this bad boy! filled with 3 cheeses, grilled onion and mushrooms, rib-eye and pico de gallo this thing is like a giant food orgasm of flavor! And to top of off they had about 5 different sauces to pour on but they were bit spicy for my taste buds except for the avocado lime sauce and the traditional "crema" sauce. The chicken tacos were good but not excellent! Maybe its because that Flatton threw me in for a spin! The owner was nice enough to let me try the coconut shrimp taco which was topped with fresh pico de gallo and that was phenomenal!! Like someone said in another review the stuff is like crack!! I cant wait to "stalk" them some more. Oh and they take credit-debit cards which is AWESOME!!

My first thought about Latin House Grill was immediately that it's the best burger from a food truck I've had in Miami so far (I've frequented Latin Burger and Yellow Submarine, and tried Gastropod once.) The patty was the best part - chuck and brisket. The chefs say they grind it themselves, and I'm inclined to believe it - it's an incredibly juicy patty and full of flavor. The toppings are nothing to be sneezed at either - the potato comfit and the mango habanero sauce are especially delicious. The burger was just as delicious the second time I tried it. The only thing sort of lacking is the bun - it doesn't hold up well to all the sauces, and gets kind of soggy. Other great things are the sneaky nachos - although next time I'll order them without meat because it made them too heavy -- and the PUFFY TACOS. Definitely a must-try; "puffy" because they deep fry the tortillas, making them puff up but still stay soft. This is NOT a gross chalupa, it's much much better.

Ok so I will try to keep this one simple. 1) Best burger in Miami! 2) Several micro beers on tap! Full bar also. 3) A desert with chocolate, wrapped in cookie dough, deep fried, topped off with condensed milk and powdered sugar. 4) A personal plus - seconds from home! Latin House is a must.

Food: Delicious. Service: So-So. Time it took to bring food: Too Long. Things I didn't like: No Ketchup for fries and Pricey. MAD LOVE burger was awesome. I will still go, but they better have their A-game, plus I'm a LHG Stalker.

Excellent food, You need to try the Steak ChimiBurrito which is a Burrito slightly fried with a lot of flavor. Also the Burgers are excellent. The only thing i don't like its that every time i get utensils they don't give you a knive, i don't understand the logic behind it but when you are using a fork you need a Knive.

Gotta preface this review by saying that I went to school in Philly where there was a very developed food cart/truck network, so I have been really excited by seeing businesses like LHG and Jefe's. So I went to LHG on 89th and Bird on Tuesday night with my mom - I've been facebook stalking these guys for quite a while now and was pretty excited to try their grub. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience but was disappointed with the food. That said, LHG definitely has potential. We tried three things: the burger, a chicken flatton, and carne asada tacos. The burger was probably my least favorite of the three. We ordered it medium rare (mistake?) and the meat was kind of mushy. Nice toppings, but felt too heavy and greasy. Came with seasoned fries because they were having issues with their cooking oil and couldn't get the curly fries right - the fries had good flavor but lacked crunch (see aforementioned oil issue). The chicken flatton was tasty, but didn't knock my socks off. It also felt heavy and greasy...could have used more pico de gallo to offset the chicken and cheese. My mom also complained that the flatton and the burger were too salty. The carne asada tacos were delicious. Very fresh and simple flavors. Tasty. The two sauces, cilantro jalapeno and habanero mango, were excellent. Especially liked the mango sauce - had plenty of heat too! I have to say....a lot of the pictures I see on here look like glamor shots compared to the food I received. Not that mine was unappetizing...but it definitely didn't look as good as these pictures would indicate. We didn't get any avocado, either, although the menu said most items come with it - so that was also disappointing. All that negativity aside, LHG has potential. I want to go back and try their cabo wabo fish tacos - they sound great. The man who operates the truck (unfortunately I didn't get his name) has a lot of love and passion for his business and that definitely comes through (and is much appreciated!!! keep it up, bro!). He was super attentive and answered our many questions with contagious enthusiasm. I think that with more practice and finesse, LHG could be a cornerstone of the Miami mobile culinary scene.

Sorry Latin house, I'm done with the love affair. It seems like each time I go, the service and wait time is getting worst. On this last visit we walk in and there was About 7 empty tables and we had to wait over 20 minutes to sit down. We were the only ones waiting. Next another 20 minutes for waiter to take order. After he takes order he informs us the kitchen is backed up over 40 minutes. At this point we are over 45 minutes in so we decided to stick it out. Well the food easily took about an hour to come out. Like always the food was great. But the bad service, or lack there of service and the horrible wait time has brought you down to one star.

We loved this place. We wanted to find a place where we could bring our 2 dogs while visiting my mom in Kendall. Found this place using my Yelp app on my smartphone. And we are glad we did. Sitting outside at a table on the covered sidewalk a young biy walked up to pet our dogs. We started talking to the boy and found out his parents were the owners. He sat with us and kept us entertained throughout our dinner. What an incredible little ambassador thi young man was. Not olny did we enjoy his company, but when the food came, it was nothing short of a true culinary treat. We will definitely be back.

everything on the menu sounds amazing, but it isn't. it all tastes and smells the same, which is terrible. bonus points for having some veggie options. negative bonus points for that scam noodles and shredded potato cop out they give you instead of making real fries. at least they have a few decent beers.

I remember the first time I ate at their food truck over a year ago. Ever since I've been hooked and loyal to the death. The Chimi burrito is my personal favorite, I get it probably 99% of the time. That's how amazing it is and how willing am I to show up often just for one item on the menu, that says a lot about them. Staff is really nice and they do care about their guests. It's always my first choice when I go out to eat and I would consider it my "hang out" spot. I will go there until the day I die.....too good to resist.

Love this place! So happy I don't have to drive around looking for their food truck anymore. What a great location for their restaurant, and such a nice atmosphere. Try the flatton or the nachos, always amazing.

I love, love the food at Latin House, we live very close to the restaurant and eat there often. The quality of the food is high and so delicious. However, the service is hit or miss, sometimes faster than others. The staff is very friendly but the place definately could use some organization in the kitchen and the speed of the food comming out to the tables. PLEASE BE NICE TO THE HOSTESS SHE IS MY DAUGHTER !!!! Thank you, and BTW, i love the weird fries that come with the burgers, the chuchi bowl is the BEST !!!

Really good food, but poor service...not sure if I'll be back with my husband and family. We were there on a Sunday and the restaurant was not even packed. There were tables unseated, but yet we had to wait 10 minutes to sit down. Our order for appetizers took 15 mins to come out, and our meals took about 45 minutes. The manager never approached our table to apologize. We also saw several people leave after wating too long for a waiter.

This place is delicious! Everything was good. If you get the tacos make sure one of them is fish. Our waiter Willie recommended we try the frita burger and it was really good, especially if you like a little sweet flavor in your burger. I would definitely check this place out if you haven't already.

My boyfriend recommended this place. I was a little weary because it was in a strip mall. No biggie since there are many great dives to be found. :) The decor here is slightly tacky. But then again these owners come from a food truck business so why worry about decor! The service was a tad slow but again they just have to get their act together. We had the sangria which was refreshing and tasty! Ok good start. We had the famous burgers with the fried egg on top! Served with home made fries. OMG is all I can say! The burger was juicy, savory, scrumptious, yummy. So many more adjectives I can use. We then had dessert! The heavenly Balls to the Wall. Oreos wrapped in a glazed donut and deep fried in dough! With a sauce on top! FOODGASM ALERT! This is one of the best desserts that I have ever tasted. Lets just say that we left stuffed but satisfied! If you don't care about great decor and ambiance but want really good, delicious food, this is the place for you! We will be going back! I can't wait to try their stuffed burritos! YUM

The entire menu is great! But the ChimiBurrito is a MUST!! All the love that Chef M and his team has for their customers (also affectionately known as Stalkers) is rolled up into this masterpiece!! You will NOT be disappointed!

I was a bit hesitant to visit this place because they are primarily known for their good food truck food. However, I took the advice of my cousin and went this past Saturday. I made the crucial mistake of ordering the mushroom topper burger because I thought it was the regular size. So I ordered the Italian burger which was on point except for the size. I spent 10 minutes looking at the guy next to me devour a regular sized burger while my mouth watered. Much to my displeasure I was quickly brought to reality when the burger I was given was proportioned well if you are the size of an ant. Other than that I believe they need to have a larger selection and some unsweet tea...Everyone has that! I will visit this place again and I will make sure I order the burger according to size!

Food trucks are all the rage, but this one takes the cake! Visited Latin House Grill last night and was very pleasantly surprised. The "flatton" was wonderful, the meat tender and best of all where the string fries. The sauces are fantastic, if you are in the mood for a bit of spice try the habanero sauce. We also tried the chicken tacos and they were very good.

I went yesterday and thought the food was good, not great BUT was completely shocked at their "10 % gratuity on take out and to-go orders" are you kidding me? Gratuity for what-cooking the food? Thats an insult and I'll never go back again.

Beyond disappointed!! Came to eat here today with my family because of race reviews from my father. I was excited to hear that this place was once. Food truck because honestly as a chef myself some if the. Best and most creative food comes from food trucks. We got to the restaurant around 3:40 and w were told that there was a 30 minute wait. Being a Sunday afternoon I wasn't surprised. We gladly waited to the side for our party of 7 to be sat. After 15 mins I went inside to escape the mosquito's and heat and saw that several tables were empty and the outside was full of patrons waiting. This did not sit well but I decided to assume that maybe they were short staffed. While we were waiting we looked at the menus and determined what we were eating as we were in a time crunch since we had a birthday party to attend at 5. We finally sat down a little after 4 and were greeted kindly by our waitress. She took our drink order and food order and since we had 2 small kids I asked that their food be brought out first since they were starving. Our order was simple... 3 orders of the tacos with steak and no avocados, to puffy burgers as they come and a kids chicken nuggets and a kids rice and chicken. Our drinks came pretty promptly, but that was about it. We finally got our food at 5:47, after watching every other table be sat, order, eat and leave. At this point I was beyond upset and our waitress wouldn't even look at us. As a matter of fact the manager (a husky woman counting drawers who I assumed was the manager) standing only a few feet away wouldn't even look at us. After the first 30 mins we watched several confused servers bring the wrong food from Table to table and patron to patron Asking whether they ordered it. I assume after a plate of nachos was declined by every table as we saw (clearly a mishap by the kitchen) the cold nachos were brought to our table and offered as complimentary. We accepted because we were starving, and I'm happy because our food took an additional 40 mins. Finally my father walked up to the manager and told her we've been waiting over and hour and were starving, to which she shrugged and said it was coming out soon. At no point did she even go in the kitchen. Even for a food truck this is poor etiquette. Finally our food arrived and my tacos were too salty and cold. At this point the waiter my dad previously had and raved about, Willy, came over and we expressed our dismay. He arrogantly replied, "but the food is really good so it makes up for everything" I'm sure that's real cute, but not when I've been waiting over an hour for tacos! He then gave us the excuse that they got a new fryer that takes longer to cook, and that the place is always busy and something about Guy Fieri.... I told him Yes, the food is good but not good enough for me to wait all that time and that we should have been told from the beginning. I told him I'm a chef and went to school for hospitality and culinary and have worked in all sorts of establishments and the manager at least comes to speak with the guests. His smart ass response was "well if you went to school then you know it's not the servers fault it's the kitchen !" Sorry, I don't see how you can be so rude to a disgruntled guest and honestly to think the food will make up for the HORRIBLE experience then he is sadly mistaken! And to top it all off the place is OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED!!!!!! $14 for steak tacos that are too salty and cold!!! If I could give this place no stars I would have! I will never go back and I will discourage as many people as possible to not bother with this headache. To get to a restaurant at 3:40 and leave at 6 is ridiculous.

Give it up to LHG for taking an old idea, the roach coach and turning it into the standard for today's food truck craze. I had the Madlove Burger with all the toppings and their new Habanero Mango sauce...Awesome! The burger was big and juicy, even though I asked for it medium-rare and it came medium. I guess since we were the first one's to order, Chef M was prepping the kitchen and left the burger on just a little too long. No worries, it was still amazing. It came with Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, caramelized onions, avocado and homemade Brioche buns made that morning. Of course, it was topped with the best crispy string fries ever. The Habanero Mango sauce had a nice kick to it but not too hot to over power the other flavors of the burger. My wife had the ChimiBurrito. It came with yellow rice, maduros, fried egg, carne asada with the flakiest crust on a burrito I've ever seen. Although my wife liked it, half way through she noticed that it was the wrong order. She asked for no egg and it came with an egg. Also, she asked for the sauce on the inside and there was no sauce. She also noticed that there was a pool of grease at the bottom of the plate that looked like a mixture from the oil of the cheeses had filtered through the yellow rice. Again, we think because we were the first ones to order, either she got someone else's ChimiBurrito or the order was misread. She also thought it could have had a little more carne asada. Either way, it was still very tasty. Next time my wife isn't going to play around, she's ordering the Madlove! About LHG - Friendly service, great prices, clean and organized kitchen. And to Chef M and the rest of the gang, keep doing what you're doing! Add two more "Food Stalkers" to your list!!!

Can I say WOW! The burgers, appetizers, and staff were wonderful. I say come hungry( I say to that to almost all restaurants) but this one takes the cake!!! Brace yourselfs into Euphoria!!! I went with my parents, son and we were starving. Ordered the nachos with vaca frita and the regular size portion we were unable to finish. Then can the burgers...need I say more.. We all ordered the International Muffin Tops 2@ 10.99. The initial thought; these burgers will not fill us up. We were wrong. I had the Cuban and the French, if you like sweet stuff then these are your burgers. While the rest of my family had the Swiss and the Original. We were all in burger heaven. I will definately return- next time I wont order the appetizer so I can eat the tasy burgers!

Fantastic food! This place looks like a high end swanky NY restaurant. The servers are extremely helpful and the menu is filled with delicious items that range from Calamari to a French Brie burger, and a butt load of Mexican dishes. Great beer selection, try the Angry Orchid Hard Cider, goes great with the food. The food won't let you down!

Food was typical bar/pub food except way over priced. Service was very slow. Had to request sides that were supposed to come with my meal. Asked waitress for my side and she was like "0h you wanted that." Took 2 times to finally get it. Our server was almost on automatic. Thankfully no attitude. Thankfully we had a coupon, but there will be no next time. Just to expensive for what they are offering.

These new age, eclectic takes on ethnic cuisines are confounding. These trendy hipster places, indicating mass gentrification, are spreading all over Miami and it's both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand, they're a complete bastardization of true original delights. They're not real food in the ethnic sense of the word. For instance, real Mexican food is on a whole other tier of deliciousness beyond this food. However, these places are undeniably tasty and it's good to have some creative variety: even if the whole thing feels overly artsy and fake. What concerns me is how many naive people will come in here thinking that this is real Mexican food, or worse, what if they think it's BETTER than real Mexican food without even having tried real Mexican food? I've seen examples of both cases and those people are irritating and naive. This place mixes Mexican concepts with American ones, Cuban, and European. It's really a hodgepodge mix of everything a hipster would want to throw into a meal. Is it spectacular? Hardly. Real tacos al pastor from Mexico are spectacular. Is it good? Certainly. The best thing I tried here was definitely the taqueria calle tacos. It's a selection of 4 different tacos from the following choices of "protein" as these hipsters call it: Cilantro-Lime Chicken, Veggie, Chorizo, Cabo Wabo, Ribeye Steak, Calamari, Carne Asada, Vaca Frita, and Fire House Shrimp. These are definitely not authentic Mexican choices, but they are all tasty nonetheless. I decided to try 1 with lime chicken, 1 with chorizo, 1 with ribeye steak, and 1 with vaca frita. They were all extremely tasty. They are each adorned with pico de gallo, a hipster inspired "avocado lime sauce", and crema fresca. Tortilla quality was above reproach and the presentation was beautiful. This 11.99 assortment of tacos will not fill the average grown man, however. They're tiny. I also tried a bite of the Chimi burrito which was bigger than any burrito I've seen and with a completely new age tortilla that defies description. It's definitely crunchy and fried, yet not as heavy and greasy as it looks. The stuff inside the vegetarian burrito was out of this world good. That may be the other best thing I've had there. I also tried 2 different sliders: the french one with bleu cheese, almonds, and honey and the western with jalepeno pepper jack cheese, beer battered onion rings, and BBQ sauce. The western was far better than the French, which was too sweet and heavy for my taste.

Theres nothing better than this truck!!!!! One of the owners and head chef, Michelle, is a very nice, honest and genuine individual. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and interested in how his customers experience their food. He works there with his wife. We went on a Friday night and ordered Sneaky Nachos and the special of any 3 mini-burgers with fries and a drink. Omg, best mini-burgers of my LIFE. Burger options are Mexican, Italian, French, American, Swiss, Bulgarian, and I think one more. The French comes with honey, almonds and brie. (The best one!!) The Italian has some sun dried tomatoes and the Bulgarian has jalapenos. FYI: for the hot sauce lovers out there, they have a habanero-mango hot sauce that will knock your socks off it's so hot (seriously, be careful.) Excellent customer service. Amazing food. Enjoyable experience. My favorite food truck. PERIOD. Totally worth tracking on twitter.

I had read the review for LHG on Burger Beasts site, and luckily they were in my area for lunch. Drove out, and there was a small crowd when I arrived. Took about 10 minutes to order and get food. I ordered the puffy ribeye flatton with extra pico de gallo. It was spectacular! I slathered that bad boy with the mango habañero and crema sauce. It was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. The gourmet sliders looked delicious. I will try those next time. On a side note, there was some entertainment provided free of charge by the sauce area. Some yuppie was not using the proper technique to apply the mango habañero sauce to his meal. He was squeezing the bottle when the nozzle was clogged with a piece of habañero. He squeezed so hard the whole thing exploded, taking him and an innocent bystander out in a wave of habañero fury! They were both drenched and looked in pain from the sauce getting in their eyes! It was classic!

Coming from the best food truck, it is now one of the best restaurants in Miami. I went to the food truck for the first time in September of 2010 and became an avid stalker since then. Now with the restaurant, which is 5 minutes away from my house, I am able to go any day I want. I have been to this restaurant at least 30 times without exaggeration. It is incredible. Love everything they have on the menu. They serve the best burgers you will ever eat anywhere. Each Mad Love burger is made with, you guessed it... Mad Love, along with anything else on the menu. One of my favorite things to eat is the Chimi Burrito, stuffed with jumbo flour tortilla, rice, three types of cheeses, and maduros, which you can have with the protein of your choice (vaca frita, ribeye, carne asada, chicken, shrimp, etc). The Chimi is huge and always gets me full. Sometimes I even save the other half for later. For dessert, I always get the Balls to the Wall that come in two and are chocolate filled with condensed milk. Amazing. Even better if you get it with ice cream. They have a great selection of beer and wine also. The service has been great every time I go. Always receive my food in good time. At the busiest hour with a full house (like during a heat game), I have waited at the most about an hour to get my food, which is understandable. During quieter times, I usually receive my food in around 15 minutes. Also, they are still under their SOFT opening. When they finally have their GRAND opening, it is going to be even better. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
Was hesitant to try this place but I'm glad I did. We got seated right away. The food came fast and it was delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I had the Carne asada tacos and they were amazing! I will definitely come back.

can not find the true words to describe this wonderful experience my palate has had!!! you can not go wrong with anything from this food truck... lets start with the service:: amazing with a smile and quick - everyone is wonderful - from the young lady who took our order, to the cook when told to cook mines a bit more (like it well done) to the Magic Hand Man in window who threw on the final touches on my sliders.... tonite hubby & i were on a mission to final try their actual food. in the past we have had the churros with teasers and we knew we had to try food!! we went with the special being offered of the 2 sliders (any one from their off the wall menu - The Cuban a burger with Guava & cheese?? really?next time for sure!) tonite we went with the French - a muffin top burger topped with BRIE MELTED CHEESE, HONEY (YES THE DELICIOUS SWEET STUFF) and ALMONDS!! lets say my mouth went into a blast of happiness, mouthwatering, finger licking frenzy!!! once i bit into this slider it felt like walking on a culinary cloud nine!!! you could taste each individual flavor and then how each made each other be a movie star!!! the melted brie cheese hugged the hole burger patty like a warm gooey blanket, drizzled with sweet honey which was an amazing enhancement for the cheese and the almonds on top was the crunchy finally to wrap this small wonder into a scrupcious delicacy!! we then chose the Italian slider as our second. this too was on a muffin top bun topped with provolone cheese melted and then delicious toppings went on such as pepperoni sliced thin fresh julienned basil and a sauce!!! VIVA ITALIA! it was just as amazing as the first!!! the deal provides for various options. we had 2 sliders, fries (which were also good) and 1 coke for $10. - not bad at all. we will be keeping up with the food truck and look forward to the new and upcoming combinations we were told about - like a Greek slider!!!!! all food is done with not only amazing ingredients, but with care and love!!!! how the continue to do as well as they are and continue to provide us with amazing goodies!!

So I ended up going last night to try the Fish Tacos. I went there with a rather large order for the fam, and one specific request from my wife: She wanted to try the Fish Taco too. So I ordered two of them. The cook insisted we try the Fish taco there so he could see our reaction. Needless to say, we had to order another two, the first two weren't leaving that parking area! Amazing flavor, and extremely fresh, but then again so is all of the food there! The mini sliders and chimiburrito were sublime! And the deserts.. WOW!!! I'm not a big sweets person, but the "balls to the wall" were out of hand!!! This was my second visit to LHG, but definitely not my last! Keep up the fantastic work!

Great Truck great variety of food and yummy! highly recommed them. other trucks were good too, except one friend got bad diarrhea from eating at Havana Rice truck ,which was "arroz con Pollo a la chorrera" why he ate that is beyond me, why would anyone eat that from a food truck .so many other better choices, why get full on a cheap food, I only eat this at home or when someone invites me over to their home. all the other trucks we tried were awsome and worth the trip!

I've seen Latin House Grill around a lot, but didn't try them until Thursday night at Tropical Park. My friend and I both ordered the Shrimp Taco box which came with 3 shrimp tacos and tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese. It cost $13, but let me tell you, the flavor was amazing on those tacos! It must be the sauces they use; I think there were two different kinds. There was this creamy lime flavor that just hit the spot, every time. I would have loved if they did something more with their "nachos" though. I'm not a fan of nacho cheese. If they sprinkled a little bit of cheddar on warm baked chips and maybe included some salsa, I'd be a happy camper.

I was so excited to try this place as the reviews made it sound amazing. I was in town with my family for a cruise. We got to the restaurant around 8:45 pm on a Friday night. Miami Heat game was on so I expected a little wait. We only waited for about 10 minutes for a table. So took our drink order which was just a few waters. After we finally decided what we wanted the waiter took our appetizer, and main dish order. After about 20 to 30 minutes the waiter came out and told us they were out of the appetizer we ordered. So we decided on another and he said OK. We waited another 20 minutes and the waiter came back and said it would be right out because were were the next in line so to speak. Mind you we saw many other people getting food in the meantime. So finally he came back again and said they were really backed up and it would be another half a hour for the appetizer. So the manager or part-owner came and got us the appetizer out right away and "on the house". We asked for our burgers to be made to-go, because we had somewhere to go. After eating about half of the appetizer, which was quite tasty, the waiter came out and asked us if we wanted our burgers to-go and we said yes we all ready told the other lady this. We also mentioned we did not want to wait another hour for them. The part-owner was in the area and she said she would go check. She then came and said it would be probably more then 15 minutes. We just told them no and up and left. How would this food take another 15 minutes to get to us after we had all ready been in there about a hour and a half since we put the food order in and other people were getting their food. I understand this restaurant was only open 3 weeks, but they should think of going back to the truck. I was so excited to try this place, but waited all most 2 hours to get some nachos for free, because we all ready waited too long. No food is this good where you have to wait that long. If we are ever back in town we will not come back to this place. The place we tried the night before was a 100 times better and faster. It was called Pincho Factory Inc.

New Year's Day boredom and hunger led me to this food truck. They were serving a new menu item, the Thick W, which is "a Jumbo Thick Kosher Hot Dog on brioche bun, topped w lots of LOVE, fries and a drink" ($10). Also the muffin top burgers which are "mini" burgers. I put the mini in quotations because biting these burgers took quite an effort from how tall they are. Both of these items were extremely delicious although I felt that they were a bit expensive. I would make this a regular lunch spot were it not for the price but this will not stop me from coming. I just won't come on a regular basis though. More like a once a month thing. If you have never come to a food truck, this is a really relax and chill atmosphere. You order your food, sit down and talk while you wait for it and get to meet new people if you want. Its a change from the constant sit down restaurants that I really enjoy. My favorite part of the meal was the Balls to the Walls which is brownie dipped in funnel cake and fried dipped in condensed milk. This was probably top 3 in desserts for me. I wish I could explain how good it is but words escape me. I plan to return and try some more menu items next time. I just wish they would lower the prices a bit.

This was my second time there. First time, I was only able to have mashed potatoes and lobster bisque and both were great. Went back only to be disappointed by the greasy food. Their signature Mad Love Burger was oozing with oil and the chorizo flutton not spectacular. I must admit, the waiter did recommend the flutton with rib eye but I thought it was more like a pizza with chorizo sprinkled on top and it is more like a chalupa. The desert took forever to get to the table although it was delicious. The waiter was too efficient...border line rude...when filling my daughter's water glass he literally pulled it out of her hand while she was drinking the water!!!! I agree with a previous comment, that they seem somewhat unorganized. When we went the first time, they had run out of ice cream by 7:00PM on a Friday evening. The carne asada tacos, the lobster lollipops, lobster bisque and mashed potatoes were outstanding.

This is one of the best. I have been a fan since they had their food truck. I use to drive all around miami to eat from them. Now that they have their own place i can go any time. You can't go wronf with anything on the menu. The Burgers are fantastic (Cuban favorite & mad lov). The chimi is also great and of course the fish tacos.

Ok here it is ... first off come hungry the portions are plentiful. Now the trick is to follow them on Facebook so you can keep up with location and menu items. Chef M is a great guy with a real heart of gold ... he's always smiling.. I would recommend them any chance I get!

Tried going back to Latin House after about a year or so. After seeing them on DDD on Food Network I figured it was worth another shot. Latin House Grill did not disappoint. A little warning however, if you are on a diet or looking to eat healthy try avoiding this place. The temptation for the fattier and more delicious foods is rampant! To start we ordered as an appetizer the Pig Wings. They were delicious and seasoned well. And the meat fell right off the bone. I don't normally eat a lot of red meat but couldn't pass up the chance for one of their famous burgers. The best way to go is definitely the muffin top which allows you to select "mini" 1/4 burgers from their selection. I picked the Mexican and French. Both although very different in taste flavor profiles were delicious. The meat was seasoned well and cooked perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh. My boyfriend ordered the Chimi Burrito with the vaca frita. He loved it! The meat (which I had tried on my last visit on top of Nachos) was tender, seasoned well and went perfectly with the ingredients in the burrito. It was a large portion which he was able to take home and heat the next day. He said it was still delicious. For dessert we took the recommendations of other Yelpers and ordered the Balls to the Wall. While great in concept, the whole execution fell flat. The fried dough we burnt in certain places and the chocolate inside so hot you couldn't eat it right away. I also felt that because it was burnt and dry it should have brought more leche condensada on the side. Overall not a bad experience and definitely a place I will add more to the rotation on "cheat meal" days.

I have given this place two chances. Make that three if you count the one time I ordered take out. The first time, the service was slow and the food was average. It had just opened for business and the transition from food truck to restaurant has to be daunting. About two months later, I ordered take out. When I got home, the order was missing all the sides that come with it. Essentially, they forgot to give me half the food I paid for. A call to the manager yielded a promise to "make it up" to me next time if I reminded him. Today, its been over a year. Service is still horrible. There are plenty of employees but most seem to be running around aimlessly. Although there were seven empty tables, we were asked to wait because they did not have sufficient menus to meet the demand. At some point in time, two employees walked into each other resulting in the spillage of a glass of water all over a patron and its subsequent shattering as it hit the floor. The young man who was asked to clean the mess, watched the football game and listened to music through headphones as he attempted to mop the floor. (Note: It is not good business practice to allow employees to wear earphones while working in the service industry.) While our server was quite attentive, she was the exception. She, herself, seemed frustrated with the turn of events. As for the food, I have to agree with other reviews. There seems to be one key spice or ingredient that is used in most of the dishes; thus, the result is the same basic flavor regardless of what you order. And, while I am not positive, I have a suspicion that it contains lots of MSG. This review is not meant to disparage the restaurant but to state facts that may lead constructive changes.
Got the most expensive thing on the menu. burger beast 18.99 for 1 pound burger.If you cant even cook a burger to medium rare as i requested then your cook sucks nothing more to it. Mentioned it to the waiter he said sorry and thats that. They suck and the kitchen food sucks...

Honestly was very suprised, been here when they first opened and the food was much better. The burgers sounded much better in the menu then what they tasted. Ordered a desert and took about 1 1/2 to come out. Very disappointed, used to love their food truck

Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. Chips and guac were on point. My chimi burrito was huge, had it with the ribeye and it was excellent. Didn't have to wait longer either which was a huge plus.

LHG is located in a little shopping plaza on Sunset and 94th, right next to my 2nd love after Misha's cupcakes, Sweetness Bake Shop. So, if you come here, expect to have a very gluttonous dinner/dessert combo (unless, you're the kind of person who can say NO to cupcakes - I'm just not that strong willed.) Anywho, my friend suggested we come here after she saw it featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." I can dig that. Guy F. seems to know what he's talking about. He likes things with a lot of cheese on them, and so do I. He is trustworthy in my book. I ordered the chicken Taqueria Calle Tacos before they let me know that I could mix-n-match em', so I ended up with the chicken, carne asada, pulled pork and breaded fish. Each and every taco was very flavorful and topped with an awesome avocado cream sauce (seemed like a kind of avocado/garlic mayo - YUM). The servers were very attentive and there were a bunch of TV's to catch the Heat game on during dinner.

Had the Frita burger for the 2nd time and it was just as amazing as the 1st time. Also had the desert "balls to the wall" and was perfect to end the lunch. Definitely coming back!

Loved them when they open. Now so disappointed in the food and the price! They should consider lowering the price and improving in the services

Burgers were great but took an hour and 15 minutes to get them! Waiter kept saying "Customers don't understand that they're made to order and we get a little backed up during weekends." We don't want to hear that! Burgers were great, customer service and wait times with make me think twice about coming here again.

The food is amazing here. I have yet to try something that isn't amazing here. The service is great and the ambiance is nice. It's a little pricey but it's worth it!

Latin House is great but my only complaint is that they masked the food to big but whatever u don't have to eat the whole entire thing I love the burgers
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a restaurant has a lunch menu and the waiter gives you a regular menu. I asked my waiter if there was a smaller portion of tacos, and he said no - that I had to get four tacos. After several questions back and forth, he finally told me there was a lunch portion, after I asked for it. We also ordered two kids meals, which were Tiny and pricey ($7.99). I guess their baby burger would work for a four year old, but my 11 year old left hungry. Bottom line: this place serves good food, but it's quite pricey for what it is.

Maybe it's me, but it sure seems like the waitstaff has a lot of down time. The restaurant is full, but the staff seems largely inattentive. The bartender has a "why am I working here" attitude, and another bartender, she doesn't know if she should drink behind the bar or in front of it. It was food that I complained about when I ate at the truck so very long time ago, now it was service. It was not that the I was never served, I was it's just that bartenders are the ambassadors of the industry, a bad bartender, and it's like going to the dentist, you'd rather be some place else. From appearance management was as bad as employee's and they didn't have a grip on standards. I did come across a friendly bartender, he used words like "Good Choice" and "Can I Help You" positive words, asking me if I liked my meal. I was happy my pretty little bartender was away even if it was temporary. The food was exceptional, five "fu%$en" stars. I ordered the Masitas, they sure did look like Tostadas, but what ever you name it, they were excellent. I wanted to order more, but since the bar was the gathering point for the employee's, I burned out and needed to go. Now would I go back............... The food was good, but I'd sit at a table, the bar lacks professionalism.

Is there a way to give less than 1 star? I haven't left a review in a while, nor have I felt more compelled to do so this time... I consider myself a burger junkie and make sure to hit some of the top rated burgers in every city I go. I decided to try this place out and boy was a blown away. About how bad it was. Atmosphere was average, service was average, but all of that was overlooked by just how awful the food was. I decided to get their classic "award-winning" burger and one bite in I realized it was the worst mistake of my life. It was, without exaggeration, the absolute worst burger and meal that I have ordered in any eating institution. I mean, honestly, ever. As my wife was saying how terrible her meal was, I asked her to try my burger. It took just 1 bite for her to realize exactly was I was experiencing, sheer straight terribleness. I don't know if the cook was having a bad night and demolished both of our dishes, but I can safely say I'll never step foot near this place again. The sangria was good.

Visited this place last week while vacationing in Miami. My family and I thought we'd give the place a try after watching it on diners drive-ins and dives since the food looked so delicious. We were not disappointed! We ordered the mango habanero wings for starters which were quite spicy but very flavorful. For mains we got the chimi burrito, which was good but a little bland, the rice bowl with chicken which was amazing, some of the best rice I've had, the Cuban burger which had a sweet kick to it and the nachos which were by far the best thing we ordered! It was layered with lots of cheese and chicken, simply delicious! By the time dessert came around we were way too stuffed to order anything else since the portions were quite big. I would give this place 5 stars if the service wasn't so slow but regardless was a place worth trying. Make sure to order all your food and drinks at once so you don't have to keep asking the waiter to come around, and then waiting for them to help you out. I'll be sure to visit if I'm in the Miami area again!

I decided to try this place after purchasing a groupon. I am glad I didn't read the reviews prior to doing so, or I might have not done so due to comments on the service. Our service started out a little slow, but overall was decent. Our waitress, who had only been working there a few weeks, was awesome! She made great recommendations, and checked on us a few times after the meal was served. Our groupon was $28 and included 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 2 glasses of wine or beer. We started out with a cheesy fondue that had huge chunks of Carne Asada in it! OMG..it was heavenly! If I were at home, I would have licked the bowl clean! This appetizer was huge (lots of meat) and could easily serve 3 people! We also ordered two glasses of Moscato. The portion was generous and it was chilled to perfection. This Moscato was very tasty! For our entrees, we ordered the tacos (4) and the chimi burrito with carne asada. Our waitress let us know we could order different types of tacos if we wanted to, so we got 2 fish, 1 shrimp, and 1 steak. When the food arrived I was in shock! The portions were huge and the presentation fabulous! The fish and steak tacos were my favorite. The burrito was so big, I could barely finish one half of it. I ended up taking home the other half. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and wanted to try dessert, but didn't have any room for it. Next time, I plan to share an entree so I can save space for dessert! For those complaining about the price, I don't think they are overpriced at all. They use good quality ingredients and are generous with their portions. Everything we ordered had lots of "protein". With the groupon, we spent $40 (tip included). Without the groupon, we would have spent $58+$12 for tip. I don't think $35 per person is unreasonable for a complete meal and alcohol. I definitely plan to return.

My mouth was having a party of it's own here. Starting with the sangria... OMG, so good that you begin to chug it like it's juice, 3 glasses down and I had the famous vacafrita burrito, holy Jesus so good, deff enough for 2 to share, if your nice, then ended the meal with balls to the wall.... Let's just say my mouth, tummy, and mind rolled out if the place like it just visited the food gods. This was my first time coming to the restaurant, I'll be coming back FORSURE!

I'm more in the 4.5 range for Latin House. Went for the first time last weekend, and it was absolutely delicious. The selection of beers is really good as well as their sangria. We had the nachos with chicken as our choice of protein and they were phenomenal. Definitely recommend them as an appetizer. Though I warn you, they are HUGE! I had their burger (American-style). Loved the juiciness in the meat and veggies added. The bacon was alright, however. The "fries" that come with the burger are really good, I think I got a salty batch though. Overall, the meal was very satisfying.

Food is good which is what really counts. The burgers are really good and the fish tacos are just as good. Now for the service. The servers are grata but the kitchen is real SLOW!! Last 2 times I have been here we waited anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. That's just along of time for a burger. Even then they got the order wrong. Pretty crazy. Overall not a bad place.

I have been craving Mexican food since I left San Diego this past April. After reading all the raving reviews, I came here to give it a shot. I have driven by here plenty of times, but for some reason never realized it was here. The restaurant has an open layout with a sizeable bar area and a few TVs spread out evenly across the bar. Place was lively with a few large parties having a good time. I waited to be seated but after seeing no hostess I just went to the bar. Took a while before I was noticed, even though the bar only had 2 people. I got a menu and it had a lot of great items that I would normally consider, but today I was on a mission for tacos. They had a pretty wide variety of meats you could choose for your 4 tacos (I think about 10 choices). I went with chicken, carne asada, carnitas, and vaca frita. Then I waited, and waited, and waited some more. It took about 40 minutes to bring out 4 tacos, and my server never came around to check on me. Another waitress came by after awhile and asked if I had ordered, then refilled my water. When I finally got my food, I was ready to dig in. The presentation was nice, as each taco had lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and a cilantro cream sauce that was decoratively setup. I tried the chicken taco first, then the vaca frita, next the carnitas, and finally the carne asada. All of the tacos were delicious. My favorites were the chicken and carnitas tacos. They tasted fresh and clean - not like something that was reheated or using substandard ingredients. However, I wouldn't consider this Mexican food. It is a good interpretation and tasty, but it doesn't have the authentic feel or taste. I have been searching for that taste of Mexico I had in San Diego that every taco shop over there has, to no avail. I will have to keep looking. No knock on this place though. I will come back to try some of more of the menu, I would have given 4 stars, but the service was too slow.

Amazing food, and although busy the service was good. Our server informed us the kitchen was busy but we got all our food fairly quickly. Tried the fried cheese squares with yummy guava sauce, the nachos with carne asada and the wings! Definitely a must try.

It's pretty rare for a Food Truck to make it to Brick & Mortar status especially in Miami where you can be the hottest place one day & yesterdays news the next. I was genuinely happy to hear someone succesfully made the leap. I decided to give this place a try after hearing people talk about it & due to a fairly decent Yelp rep. We went on a Friday evening so there was a wait of about 30 mins which is completely understandable & expected when a place is popular. We gave our name to the nice hostess outside & took a seat outside until our name was called. About 25 mins later I heard my name so with empty stomachs & high hopes we went inside. The restaurant has a style of it's own but unfortunately we were seated in the one spot which set the tone for the rest of the evening. If you walk in to the right there are two booths up against the glass, they are super dark as they are the only spots void of any light & pretty far from anything. It almost leaves you feeling like you are an outsider within the restaurant. Our server came by & dropped off some menus & took our drink order. She told me they had Coke but later on I found on the menu that it's a special in house type soda with real sugar instead of HFCS which should be an awesome selling point worth mentioning. No harm done as it was pretty good when I could track my server down & actually get refills. We went with the Asian Pig Ribs app I believe they were called. 2 of them were fall off the bone great as described but one was super tough & overcooked. We mentioned this to our server (when she was around) & she sort of apologized but that was about it. We both ordered our main courses shortly after placing the appetizer order but for some reason the food was taking forever! I understand it's a busy evening but as we watched the other tables being served their dishes in a timely manner it seemed as if ours was forgotten. We couldn't get our servers attention as she was giving all of said attention to a party of 8 nearby who's food was served & completely eaten before ours even came out. Our server stopped by to tell us the app had been comped & the main course should be out any minute now... (15 mins later) we had reached our breaking point. We walked up to the bar counter & asked to speak to a manager & were given a real blah attitude with a lack of urgency. Just then, our server walks out with our food but it's way too late at this point we just want to pay our check, speak to the manager & leave. A manager did eventually come to speak to us & we voiced our reasons for being upset but he too wasn't really that interested. This is where our bad experience was redeemed. The Chef/Owner stepped out from the kitchen area to come see what happened. We explained to him how long we were waiting, how we barely ever saw our server, & he was shocked to hear the manager didn't stop by to apologize for the bad appetizer. He gave his sincere apologies & explained how the staff is going through some growing pains & that he is working on it. I voiced my unhappiness with the area we were sat in & he genuinely appeared to care about improving that section. I can understand his situation where he was always face to face with his customers in the food truck. Now, he is in the back cooking & has to trust his staff to give the level of customer service he would offer. He was very generous with us comping our food & offered us to come back & give his place another shot. He insisted we give the food a try so we took our orders to go. After eating them, we both agreed the food was flavorful & cooked with quality ingredients. I think this place deserves a second chance but I might just go with take out next time so I can avoid the staff until the owner can iron out the kinks in the level of service. What started off as a nice night went bad then was redeemed thanks to an owner who genuinely cares about giving his customers a great dining experience.

After arriving at the restaurant and placing our order we waited more than 45 minutes to have the food brought to the table. When speaking to the manager she advised that the reason for the delay was A: There was a "large" party (party of 8) and B: She has a small kitchen. Yet the restaurant was nowhere near full capacity.The staff looks lost and the manager extremely disrespectful. The food items are not adequately priced; truth be told the food is sub par. I give this restaurant two thumbs down and don't plan going back.

I saw the report that a local tv station gave on this guys and was impressed enough to make the drive from the beach. Yelped it and thanks to Gaby B. I took the chance and confirmed that they are worth it. Tuesday tacos is the best way to introduce yourself into this joint! I had the carnitas, Cabo Wabo fish, Chicken and had to settle for the veggie since they ran out of ribeye, but still delicious. Had the red Sangria, despite not having traditional fruits, it still was impressive enough for two glasses!!Finished it off with their signature balls to the walls dessert. I'm not a sweets person, especially when I had to only settle for four tacos and could have killed four more, but wow for this dessert!!! Oh yes Tuesday tacos are $2 ea. so will be heading back for the savings, cool fun environment. Staff and management were friends and attentive. Buen provecho!!!

I love this place, only been there twice, had the black and blue burger once and the burrito another time, loved it both times! The portions are huge!!! Almost forgot the nachos are fantastic! Only thing I didn't like my first time there was the di they had, I felt the music was way to loud I like it better when they have a chill laid back day.

Really Really enjpyed this place. Been waiting forever to pass by and try the burgers and tacos, and finally tried it yesterday. Saw the chef/owner greating and talking to guest and to burgerbeast's family. Looked real friendly and inviting. The restaurant design is decorated as if it should belong in the wynwood area with hanging lights and art painted on the walls. But so glad this is a Kendall gem. I went on Taco Tuesday $2 tacos. I wish I had room to try the mini burgers or an actual burger, but there is always next time. The tacos of chicken lime and carne asada were my favorite. My friend had the fish and said it was great (see pics). One of my favorite taco places now in Miami, if not my favorite! We started off with timba. YUMMMM I wish they served more, but anyways its fried queso blanco with guava sauce for those who don't know. So good and the texture and taste delish! As stated, we had the tacos which were devine! Also had their "award winning" sangria (few glasses) which was also great. And we ended with balls to the wall cake batter covered brownies with sugar powder and leche condesada dipping sauce. AMAZINGBALLS! Will definitely come back and try other menus items like the famous chimi burrito and award winning burgers. A little overpriced fr appetizers/burgers/and tacos but def try to go on a specials night like Tuesdays or Wednesdays (half off apps,wine,etc oh and pork sliders)

Holy Burrito Batman!! So, like many people, we saw the episode of DDD that featured Latin House and since we were going to be in Miami for the day, we knew this was the place we had to try for dinner. Many times you will see food on a show like this or even just a commercial and then you order at the restaurant only to find it looks or tastes nothing like you expected. LUCKILY, that was NOT the case with Latin House. We ordered the Chimi Burrito, the Pig Wings and the Original Burger. Each of them were equally delicious. The Chimi Burrito was ridiculously big! My husband, who can usually eat a small farm animal, had trouble finishing it. Of course that didn't stop us from diving into the Sweedos, which were like little Thai donuts, but with much more flavor. We had ours with ice cream, of course, which made them even more insanely good. Our waiter, who super friendly and helped us make decisions, recommended the "Balls to the Wall" which was the same dessert, only with little chocolate brownies inside. We were afraid that would just put us over the edge. All in all, fantastic food, really great service and nice atmosphere. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the location. But, truly worth the drive!!

Tried this place due to reviews and seeing on Diners Drive in & DivesArrivef at 5:15 PM ordered the special burgers. Burgers finally got to our tsble st 6:13PM barely warm, my burger didn't have the grilled onions or mushrooms that I ordered. Manager deducted the price of my burger, but that still doesn't rescue a horrible experience. I won't be back!!'

So far everything here is amazing. The lettuce wraps are the best in the world, carne asada and chicken ones yummy. The burgers are phenomenal. This place cooks with amazing flavor and the staff is great. Great lunch spot with a menu that has variety. Beware though the service is a little slow which is why the 4 stars instead of 5

By far one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The burgers are the best burgers you will ever have!! Its all in the flavor of the meat. Delicious!! The sangria is awesome too sometimes we buy it in a gallon to drink at home. The nachos and the fondue cheese appetizer is to die for. It's definently not the place to go on a diet but it's the best place for the most delicious burger you will ever have.

We used to be regulars back in the pre-baby days. We haven't been back in a while due to the constantly crappy service, particularly the eternal wait for food which doesn't really pair well when dining out with a little one. We decided to try our luck today during lunch and sadly, nothing has changed. We ordered my daughter's food the minute we sat down along with water. Her food came out pretty fast (praise the heavens!), however, the calamari appetizer took about 30 minutes. Side note: calamari appetizer was inedibly horrible. Skimpy, teeny pieces of calamari hidden in thick nuggets of super salty breading... It was pretty disgusting to be completely honest. After not finishing that disastrous joke of a dish we waited another 30 min (an hour total now) for a burrito and 4 measly tacos. It's not like I asked them to bake me a cake. An hour for this kind of dish is unacceptable. There were maybe 10 occupied tables in the whole place and plenty of staff standing around. I have no idea what these people are thinking but it's been what, 2 years since they have been open and they can't get their service game in order? Ridiculous. Get your sh*t together, Latin House. Stamping Guy Fieri's ugly ass face on your door and menus may bring the crowds in but having service that's as good as your food (minus the calamari) is what will keep people coming back.

This is my second visit. First visit was amazing and I brought the rest of the family this time. I ordered the American with the 3 cheese and mushrooms the first time. That is what had me coming back to try more. This visit I had the Original with lettuce and was about to revisit the American, when Jayson (waiter) suggested the Elvis (PB&J and bananas burger). I was a little worried at first but................. OMGoodness!!!!!!! Burgers are juicy, fries are amazing. Walked in and was seated immediately both times. Food is a little pricey but I would do it again because it is worth it. I like the 1/4 burger (slider-like) option because it affords me the ability to try more than one burger. Ask for Jayson when you go. Love him (very knowledgeable and attentive). Will be going back soon.

Alright I've eaten at this place since before they had a restaurant (food trucks) they have best chicken quesadillas & awesome muffin tops (sliders) if your in the mood for chicken or beef and you don't want to spend to much this is the place to be.. Oh the service is great and they also have TVs to watch the game.. It's a great place to go with your friends and family and have a good meal. Oh don't forget to try the nachos they're great

Alain M.
I love this place! Best and I do mean the BEST lettuce wraps I've ever had with Carne asada. Guy Fieri had this place on diners drives dives so you know it has to be good. I've heard the burgers are out of this world too even though I've never tried one. If you're in the area you can't go wrong stopping for lunch or dinner. The decor is very cool with artistic tattoo looking designs on the walls. Service is slow at least during lunch hours.

Over rated...DDD finally let me down! The service was horrible and not only did our food not come out together, it took way too long! The burrito everyone raves about is nothing special, it's more like an overstuffed empanada. You add sweet plantains to anything and it will taste good so I wasn't impressed. Also ordered a burger medium and it came out dry and they forgot the avocado that comes with it. I'd rather go to 5 Guys for a good burger than give this place another chance. hear the tacos are good but after my subpar experience I am certain to never try it as I have many better options where I can expect good service and an efficient kitchen where I won't have to watch my wife eat while I wait for my food. They also need to hire a designer to decorate. I was very excited to finally venture from Brickell to Kendall after watching DDD and was utterly disappointed.

Still looking for really good Mexican in this city, this place is pretty good but I'm going to keep looking. Had the sneaky nachos which had chorizo and they were pretty good. I also had a chimi burrito with ribeye, which was good but it sounded amazing and was just good so I was a little disappointed. Anyway its yummy but a bit on the pricey side for what you get.

Daniella S.
I've been to Latin House a total of four times now and my verdict is always the same - Slightly overpriced, mediocre service and good, not great, food. Your best bet is to go on a week day during happy hour. The place is pretty empty at this time, so you don't have to worry about the endless wait for your check and prices are a little more reasonable. Food wise, I definitely recommend the nachos because whatever protein you decide to add always comes out fresh off the grill, and their muffin top burgers are not only available with a variety of creative toppings, but are also the perfect size. The French comes with brie and honey, and is my personal favorite! Their fries are also worth trying.

I had several of my Broward friends ask if I had ever been to this place since it's been featured on the food network and other tv shows. I finally tried it and it was great. The only small disappointment was the waiter who wasn't very informed. We ordered a sangria and loved it. It seemed like it had guava so we asked the waiter but he didn't know nor did he inquire. There were a couple of other things we asked that he wasn't sure about either. It was not a big deal breaker since he was nice, but I just expected him to have a little more knowledge about the food. This place is definitely worth a try the food is SPECTACULAR!

Queso Fundido was amazing. And I tried their shrimp tacos - they were seriously delicious! The sauce, the batter... I wouldn't order anything else! So why the drop to three stars, you ask? The service. It's so slow! They really need to work on that. I was hoping that with time the service would improve, but we were just as dissatisfied as we were the first time we came here. It took like 20 minutes to get a side of fries. Seriously? My little one was about the have a meltdown! I also think the prices are a little steep. Other than that, though, the food is good. A little on the heavy side (couldn't eat here too often), but definitely tasty.

Driving past this restaurant, I thought I need to try it. Guy Fiery came and ate here. It must be good. Boy was I wrong. Hostess insisted that we wait at the bar. There were 8 booths open. I threatened to leave, and we got seated. Waiter came fast. We order two quarter pound burgers. It took 50 mins to get our food. The tangles were soggy and disgusting. I asked for fresh ones and the waiter made feel uncomfortable. Questioning my palette. Burger was cold and not juicy for medium. Over all I have had better. If Gordan Ramsey still had his show, this place would be visited and featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Head over to McDonalds. It is cheaper, faster, and tastier.

Food is awesome! So much to chose from. There sauces are to die! I've gone a few times and sometimes service is good and others not so good. I always return for their balls to the wall desert! Thumbs up!

Very upset the fact it was advertised that Latin house grill was cooking up ostrich burgers from thurs - mon but when I asked the chef and waitress looked at me as if I was crazy. The only good thing there was the service the waitress gave me and tipped her greatly. Over all poor/ misleading advertisement not even the pines one had it. I will not be coming back here again anytime soon.

Excelent cuban food, the service also very good, very good choice for when you dont want to cook at home, the price for the food is good but the desserts are a bit pricey, generally I recommend this place

This place may be one of the most overrated restaurants in Miami. I mean, the burgers are delicious and they serve wine and everything, but the service leaves sooo much to be desired. I loved this place when it was a food truck and I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for a glass of water. So we waited 15 minutes for a glass of water (I hate that. Is it obvious?) and that was ok. I mean it sucks but whatever. I asked the waiter if they serve sliders, and he said yes. They do serve sliders (the Frita I had was amaze), but they serve ONE slider. Note to self and others reading this: order a 1/4 pound burger next time instead. The server was talking to a lady at the table next to us and instead of putting his carafe of water on that table, he plopped it right in the middle of ours and turned to help her. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's being attentive, but really? We're eating, bub. Sometimes, no matter how great the food is somewhere, if the service sucks, that's all you remember.

Let me start by saying... I've followed LHG for a long time now, dating back to when their food truck first started, and as much as it pains me to say it... It sucks now. No, not the food. The food is great... but there is no food that is above service and this place undoubtedly has the worst service in Miami. I wish I could say it's a one time thing but it's not. I have given them 4 different chances and have gone back every time, thinking that maybe they were having an off day. Every time i have gone back the service has been worse than the last time... and i know at least 10 people that have told me that they will not be going back because their service is so bad. And it's not just the kitchen, which is amazingly slow. It's everything. Every time I have gone and ordered any drink that isnt water, it's taken them 10-15 minutes to put the drink in a glass and bring it to me. I can handle waiting for food all day if I have a nice, cold beer in front of me but they cannot even make that happen. Really sad to see this place go to where it's gotten but it is what it is and i wont be going back. There's too much good food to be wasting time with this poorly run restaurant.

Visited the Pembroke Pines location, it's always pretty empty when I go but the food is always good and tastes fresh. Only complaint I have is that they took the chips off from the menu and replaced them with regular fries and I think their menu is a little over priced for the portions and type of food they serve.

Best food around and if you pick the right time!! No waiting!! Try the mango habanero sauce! But it's not for the faint of heart!!! The burghers are absolutely amazing and the burrito also! And for the big boys... That tomahawk!!!!

My husband had been asking for a while to go to this place and I finally caved (I don't much care for burgers or overly unhealthy foods) Much to my surprise they had a healthy menu option, which I was thrilled about. I chose the $15 carne asada, which turned out to be the worst idea ever. It was 3 strips of pure rubber with some green leafs on the side. It was beyond awful. I asked if they had some hot sauce, or something I could dip it in.. and they said "sure! but we have to charge you extra for it" You serve me garbage and then you charge me for your mango-habanero sauce? I flat out hate this place. Unless you are looking for strictly fried and over the top unhealthy food, do not come here. Do NOT offer a healthy menu if you will massacre the whole thing. La Fogata does carne asada for significantly less and much better. Seriously, even Fritanga Monimbo's carne asada beats the crap out of that disgustingly charred flap of meat. Give me a break. My husband ate his burger just fine. However, he eats most burgers just fine. Says nothing about this atrocity of a restaurant. PS: Felt the need to add that this place is REALLY overpriced for the type of food it is and to make matters worse they charge you for anything and everything!!! If they could charge you for the air you breathe inside their establishment they would. For that money, I rather hit up Shake Shack.

It's aite. No fries but more like house chips. Not bad. They're freshly made but nothing outstanding. Burger was supposed to be beef but tasted like chorizo. The grilled flatton was ok With decor and good flavor it feels like you're eating at a food truck. Not worth the restaurant prices or restaurant wait. Both times that we've been here we have been told that the kitchen was behind/running out of food. The place isn't large enough for that. Spend your money somewhere else. Best thing there is the chimi burrito. It's actually very good but not something id have regularly. Service isn't bad but it's not very professional. We were told by the hostess who looked like she was just hanging out that we'd wait 20-25. It was closer to an hour. There were several empty tables but they say the kitchen is too behind. The place is still being run like a food truck.

I totally retract what I had said about Latin House before. I went back because it's close and convenient. We were seated in the right hand side of the restaurant toward the back where they have nice booths, which is a nice little spot. This time, I ordered one Western muffin top and the lobster bisque. The burger was a lot better this time around. Just like I remembered it being from the food truck. It was juicy, flavorful and just excellent. Nothing like the experience I had last time. The tangled potatoes were good. Not my style usually but still very good. The lobster bisque was BOMB. It comes in a bread bowl and it was just great. We ended up getting dessert, too. We ordered the fried donuts with the condensed milk inside and they were great. One thing I loved was that we had been drinking beer and wine with our meal (Yeah, I had a beer and a soup. Don't judge me.) and when we ordered dessert, our server brought us all waters. That was really thoughtful and I wish it was done at more restaurants. The dessert was great. My friend ordered the Original burger and ate half of it, because that thing is the size of a plate and I took the other half home. Now, burgers and fries are the kind of thing that really don't keep very well as leftovers, but I microwaved it for a minute or 2 and that thing was DELICIOUS. I usually get the muffin tops because the burger is just so big, but it is so worth it. The cheeses, the bacon, the juicy meat. It might be one of the best burgers in Miami and this was a day old, refrigerated, and microwaved. I will definitely order that next time.

I went to Latin House at lunch time on a Saturday, and left with mixed feelings about the place. When I walked in, I noticed a sign reading, "Wait to be seated." The restaurant was almost empty, so I expected to be seated right away. I waited, and waited.... There were three staff members fooling with something at the cash register, and I waited... fooled with my phone, and waited... finally someone walked over with a menu. After being seated, I ordered an iced tea and perused the menu. Some of the classics from the Latin House Grill food truck were on the menu, but since I was familiar with them I elected to order "new" items. I ordered Crab and Corn Chowder in a bread bowl, Pig Wings and a combination appetizer that was "[something] shrimp and chunks." The iced tea arrived, and I gave the waiter my order, "checked in" and sipped some tea. Oops! Evidently "iced tea" here meant some sweetened concoction. I wish I'd been so informed ahead of time. I read numerous complaints online about the wait time for food, and indeed read a notice in the restaurant that all food was cooked to order and that takes time, but my food came out in a reasonable time. In fact, I asked for the chowder to come first, which it did, but the other items piled up before I got far into the chowder. The first flavor note on the chowder was the cilantro sprinkled on top. It was creamy, spicy and tasty, but didn't have much crab or corn noticeable in it. There was perhap a total of two tablespoons of solids. Perhaps a novice in the kitchen did not ladle it from the bottom of the pot? The shrimp and "chunks" was next. The chunks were tidbits of very tender grilled steak, with some accents of grilled threads of onion. This is a pretty mild dish, so if there is a spice-phobe in the group, it would be a good choice. The shrimp were either steamed or lightly sauteed, and were covered with a sauce reminiscent of Chinese restaurant sweet and sour sauce. It was reddish with bits of what I think was sweet red pepper. Pleasant, but not exciting. Separating the shrimp and steak was some lightly pickled shredded cabbage, and some slices of carrot and onion that were also pickled. A clean, fresh foil to the sauced and meaty tastes. Next were the pig wings! I've been seeing this cut of pork showing up around town. It's a new promotion of the rear-leg shank. It's a single bone about 4-5 inches long. The Latin House take on this is very tender on the inside (perhaps braised first?), and very crispy on the outside and sauced with an asian-style sauce that mostly tastes like hoisin sauce. I liked them, and my wife LOVED them. One order is three of them on top of a mountain of the house "Tangled Potatos" which are deep-fried spiral-cut potatoes. The potatos stayed crispy for a long time, surprisingly. The two appetizers plus soup and iced tea came to $37.50 with tax. Add a tip, and you're at $45.00. This was more food than I wanted for lunch, because a big dinner was in the offing, so I asked the waiter to pack up the two wings and the leftover shrimp to go. What I got for that request was a styrofoam box dumped on the table. That was a first for me. Maneuvering stuff into the box without serving utensils was annoying. I'll return to try some other menu items, but I left annoyed at the delay to be seated in an empty house, the sequencing of the food, the take-home incident, and either stinginess in the chowder or incompetent serving of it. Not to mention the iced tea. Every one of these was, or might have been, due to the wait staff.

I just visited the restaurant for the first time for lunch today. Things were so delicious back when there was a food truck, but wowie wow. The place looks great! I can definitely see myself coming back, possibly for $2 tacos on Tuesdays with some friends...... and also because I want to try all the beers! I had the puffly flatton with cabo wabo fish. Grilled onions, mushrooms, melty CHEEEEEESE... Oh. mah. gah. The reason why I didn't write my review immediately after eating there is because I was basically comatose when I got home. Siesta to the max. I was so deliciously stuffed that I just HAD to take a nap. Oooh! As per the server's suggestion, I also had their guacamole. Delicious! It tasted so fresh! Hints of lime, lots of cilantro, chunks of tomato and onion.... it was honestly the best guac ever, and I thank the server endlessly for suggesting it as an appetizer. Man. I'm having flashbacks to the yumminess now. I may have to make this flatton-and-guac-induced nap a regular thing. Excellent, extremely friendly service with lots of spot-on suggestions.... I'll be back again and again and again, no doubt!
Went with a large group and was impressed by all the food. The servings are huge and packed with flavor. The Vaca frita nachos are certainly a must have and the beer selection was pretty strong. This is a worthy stop if you're hungry in the southwest Miami area.

Burger topped with egg? Yes please!!! It was super good. Balls to the walls dessert?? O.M.G!!! Seriously it's worth a visit to Latin House just for this dessert. The food does kind of take a while to come out but that's how you know it's fresh. The employees are a hit or miss. First time we had a female server...she was not very pleasant. The other time we came we had a male server...kinda chubby guy. He was great and super nice. Latin house..you rock.

SO EFFIN' GOOD! One of the most amazing burgers I have tried yet. I tried the MadLove Original Burger and talk about an orgasm in your mouth! Big, juicy, flavorful burger and that bacon- oh that bacon was do delicious! The combination of everything together made it something to be remembered and desired over and over again. Their Tangled Love Fries, super cute name but not the biggest fan. I think it's something to get used to...? I love to be able to dip my fries in ketchup or something other dip and with Tangled Love, you can't do that. It's a shame but it still adds something to the plating. The service was wonderful and even on a weekday lunch hour this place was pretty packed. Any single ladies out there? Do yourself a favor and come here for lunch hour. It seems that the fellas (In packs...think Jacob and his pack from Twilight... only I can't guarantee that level of hotness) like to get their burger on and I assume there's a whole lot more where that came from!

We came here on a Sunday because my boyfriend was craving a burger, although I am not your absolute burger lover, I decided to have a burger today. The menus is pretty detailed and we both got the 'Original Burger' we went with the half pound because the waiter advised that the quarter pound would've been the size of a kids burger. I asked the waiter who was very nice if it came with "Fries", and she said yes. Well, the burger was HUGE my boyfriend and I could've shared it, we only ate half. The burgers were delicious but too big, and too greasy for my choice. The burgers do not come with FRENCH FRIES, they come with potato chips and that was very disappointing because I love french fries, and I believe all good burgers should be paired with delicious fries. If you want a nice, huge, juicy burger then this is your place. I only gave 4 stars because I felt that I didn't get informed well enough on what I was getting and too big of a burger. All around pretty good and nice place.

The food is über-fresh, it's incredible. Creative spins on traditional everyday foods is what makes this joint unique. I come here at least twice per month and each item on the menu is prepared as if it were the only item. Top-notch quality food, delicious flavors & textures, great service....awesome sangria....and Balls to the Wall desert? Lets just say I have hot dreams about them Balls! This his my top 5 favorite restaurant in Miami by far....

I've been a long term follower since their food truck days. They've got one of the best burgers and that's what I mainly go for. On peak nights(Fri-Sun) expect to wait quite some time to be seated (20-30 min) and get your food delivered (45-60min). In the past you would be able to sit at the bar and order from the menu but this has now changed that you can only order drinks and appetizers. Any who the food quality is great and fresh.

My husband and I treated his parents for lunch on Father's Day. They were first-timers and loved the food. I got my usual chimi, which as always, was amazing to the very last bite. I went with carne asada instead of rib eye this time. I felt the carne asada was full of flavor, much better than the rib eye, in my opinion. Our waiter today was great. He was on top of things, by always coming over and checking on us and making sure we had refills. I will keep coming!

I ate here last night for the first time with three other people and was pretty unimpressed (the other three in my party agreed). The service really was pretty good. The hostess and server were friendly, things came out in a pretty reasonable time. The nachos were very good (we had them with vaca frita). But if this place is about the burgers, it really did fall short. Our table had 4 burgers: two fritas, one Elvis and a fourth that I forget. The best word I can think of for the fries: obnoxious. They don't taste like much and, more importantly, are not fries. It's more of a heaping mound of potato chip crumbs. These might make a decent burger topping, but a side item they are not. This was an absolute consensus at our table, and from the look of the reviews here, we're not alone. We all also agreed that this place goes way over the top with the toppings. The frita burger had too much of that guava ketchup (which was also too sweet for our liking), and they went about 3 times too heavy on the peanut butter and jelly in the elvis burger. I'm all about going to a place for something overindulgent, but if I'm ordering a burger, I want to taste the meat first. When you have a layer of peanut butter almost as thick as the burger and there are globs of jelly coming out of your burger, it's just not fun anymore. Why is there jelly in an "Elvis" to begin with? I should have asked they leave it off. I wouldn't refuse to come back here if a friend wanted to go, but it would never occur to me to go back. There are too many other great options in the area.

OMFG this place is not Latin Burger (@latinburger) the locally famous burger and taco truck! This is @latinhousegrill - totally different. I feel like a freakin' fool. We went here thinking that it was that Latin Burger and Taco everyone keeps talking about and were really confused when we were so disappointed with our experience. To make matters more confusing this restaurant had a food truck at one point. Other yelpers talked about how their truck food was so amazing on this page. So I thought, "Hey, the restaurant is probably just as good as the truck." Well, let me tell you it's not going to be "just as good" if it's the WRONG freaking company! This review is for Latin House and NOT Latin Burger and Taco, which I will seek out in the near future. I was disappointed by the burger and chimi. My friend was pleased with the burger. I had half of the burger and found a extremely weird texture to the beef. It had big, chewy chunks throughout the patty. At times, I felt like they had used that weird meat glue stuff to assemble their patties. It didn't even taste like beef. It was spongy and strange. I had half of the chimi (fried burrito) which was alright. It looked very impressive coming to the table. It was cut beautifully in half at a diagonal, unfortunately there was a substantial pool of oil at the bottom of the plate and there was much fried beef to be found in the chimi. It was mainly rice. Otherwise, it was tasty. A little pricey but much better than the burger. Service was attentive but our table was a little too close to the area where all the servers gather and gossip. Seeing the windex bottle on the bar placed an inch away from several water pitchers (pitchers that refill your water glasses) was not too appetizing. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is nice. I really like all the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.

My siblings and I came here around 8pm on a Sunday night with a sweet tooth craving. I have had their burgers and the famous balls to the wall ( which is a deep fried brownie) so that is what we were desperately needing. The restaurant was fairly empty with less than a dozen patrons scattered throughout. We were seated promptly which was good, but we waited about 15 minutes before our server first came to see us. When he did arrive though, he was very helpful and friendly. And now for the food. We ordered the taqueria calle tacos ( one carne asada, one chicharrone, one bbq and one ribeye), balls to the wall, and the fried madagascar vanilla dough. The balls to the wall and fried madagascar vanilla dough were outstanding, perfect "sweet tooth craving" food. Make sure to get it with vanilla ice cream to balance out the chocolatey gooiness. Just writing about it makes me want to sink my teeth into fried chocolate heaven. Unfortunately, this is not where the review ends. The tacos that came were extremely sub-par. The pico de gallo was fresh, the tortillas were not bad and the sauces were okay, but each of the meats tasted like they were cooked in the morning. All the meats were dry, lacking flavor and chewy, except for the bbq one which I think was because the massive amount of bbq sauce masked the meat. I had better tacos at taco bell. So it took a long time to place our orders and the tacos were something I would serve my dog, but our waiter was nice (once he showed up) and the desserts were excellent. I have had their burgers from the food truck before and they were delicious, so next time I come here I will order what they are known for. I will be updating this review once I go back. *Best Dish - Balls to the wall*

Ok. So I was kind of hesitant to go back, but I gotta say we all ad a great time this time around. It was a co worker's birthday and we went on a Wednesday during lunch time. The service was pretty great and the food was nothing less than AWESOME (Like always)!! Me & the birthday girl shared a rib eye chimi burrito and it was sooo good! :) We got our food within a timely manner and the owner even came by to say hello and introduce himself. We had a great time! They even comped the Birthday Balls!! I wouldn't hesitate to go back again, maybe this time during dinner. If you've had a bad experience before, give it another shot. I did and I WILL be coming back again!! Thanks LHG!!

Terrible service . I asked for a burger with no cheese , onions or mushrooms . Everything was still on there . I ask to remove the onions and mushrooms. The server has every single one of the toppings removed . We ask what happened to the toppings . He says I took it all off. We ask for the toppings back. He brings out bacon laid on a napkin and sets in on the table , we ask to bring the rest of them too, and he dashed away and wouldn't listen. Terrible.

Worst service in Miami. No joke; I called the other day 26 times to order pickup and no one picked up. So I ordered through Delivery Wow and they called me back and told me that no one was picking up, so they had to cancel my order. This was last Saturday afternoon. This weekend, i bit again. This time, they picked up and I placed my order. When I got there, there was a lady with her kid that was waiting to be seated. Despite half of the restaurant being empty, they told her, she'd have to wait because the other side of the restaurant was closed. Really? On a weekend, in the afternoon, you have a section of your restaurant closed? And you can't sit down a woman with a small child in one of the empty tables? Ridiculous. So, back to my order; when I placed my order, they told me it would be 35 minutes, tops. True to Latin House Grill form, my food was finally ready for pick up an hour and a half after I ordered it. Can you imagine why a half empty restaurant took an hour and a half to put together 2 meals? Me neither. Anyways, so when I was waiting for my food, i got to observe why their service is so bad... they constantly have drink orders from the servers and the servers then have to wait for someone else to put together those drink orders. Problem is that there is no full time bar tender. I don't understand why the servers cant just pour the drinks themselves or at least have a full time bar tender. The girlt that they had behind the bar that day was completely out of it. Someone ordered as espresso, and she literally, read order, pressed the button, and stood in front of it as the coffee brewed, instead of pouring a coke or a beer or something else. Amazingly horrible. While I was waiting for my order, there were people sending their food back, people who got the wrong orders, one lady's burger was overcooked and when they offered to make her another one, she said, there's no way I'm waiting another hour for a burger. This place has gone downhill fast. Horrible service by an incompetent staff. Food takes forever, drinks take forever. If you want to go spend a few hours at a place and wait forever for everything, go here. You wont see me there.

What a horrible experience!! 1- they were out of most of their beers. I ended up having to order water because they just didn't have any of their menu's beers that I Would like 2- they were out of the "mad love" How can a restaurant be out of their menu's main item? 3- the kitchen was so backed up that my simple order (a frita) took a whole hour. 4- considering my severe state of hunger, I ordered an item called "pig wings" which ended up being en epic fail! The Asian flavor just didn't mesh well with the type of rib cut they used. I took it back, just as I would at any other restaurant yet ended up having to pay for half of it.

Waiting an hour for tacos is absurd when Tuesday night is their Taco Tuesday Special. What made the whole experience worse was when we called over the manger to point out that we had waited that long, instead of apologizing and offering us something, she made a poor excuse. And then I almost fell out of my seat when our waiter asked if we would like to see the desert menu. "Hell no" I wanted to get out of there... Tacos are not exactly fine dining and an hour and a half dinner for mediocre at best tacos is not my idea of grabbing a bite.

Food is ok but it's a bit overpriced in my opinion. They don't offer regular fries, they just offer some greasy boring thin fries that don't really taste like much. The appetizers are good just be careful what order because the more expensive the appetizer the less food you get. As far as dessert make sure to stop by sweetness bake shop on your way out.

Went yesterday (Friday, March 7th) to this establishment. I arrived with my boyfriend at approximately 9p. We were greeted by the hostess at the door. One thing that sort of soured my first impression is that it smells like grease as soon as you walk in. I guess that can be a good thing (they're cooking the food fresh) or bad thing (who wants to smell grease upon walking in). We sat and looked over the menu to see what we wanted to try. I decided on the four taco entree (Taqueria Calle Tacos). I ordered 2 with fish tempura and 2 with the chicken. My boyfriend ordered the Masitas one with the rib eye and one with chicken. The service was on the slow side but I chalked it up to it being packed on a Friday night.The food arrived and it looked delicious. We dug in and enjoyed every bite. The protein was well prepared and was packed with flavor. Also, the other flavors blended well together. Also, the beer and wine selection was extensive for a restaurant of this kind. I can easily say someone can find something they like from the beer and wine menu. I will for sure return to try other things on the menu. Other notes -Our waiter, Kevin, was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was also very attentive.

This is my 3rd time here and the Luster and quality has gone down. I talked up this place before taking a good friend this weekend, but it didn't live up to the Hype I gave it...we ordered the Chunks and Butterflies on the waiters recommendation and the Butterflies were the shrimp which where ehhh. The Shrimp were in that chili sweet sauce(like McDonalds), the Chunks were ripe-eye little pieces, but you can tell they have been sitting a while and were not fresh. Expensive too for an apprizer at $12. Our Waiter seemed to bit pushy with the Frita burger that he was pushing. My wife ordered one, and a guava one, but the waiter kept pushing the Frita burger and also most made her order two of the Frita instead of the Guava one she really wanted. Even at the end of the night, when we said it was good, he was like "see I told you, next time listen to me". My friend and I ordered the Taqueria Calle which is a choice of 4 tacos. I ordered 2 ribeyes, 1 carneasada, and 1 vacafrita, and boy did they disppoint for both of us. I ordered them last time and they were fresh, delious, and memorable. But this time they were dry, not fresh, and something you can get from a taco stand.

Discovered these guys back when they use to be a food truck and fell in love with it. The only hip place in the Westchester / Kendall area where you can get a quality beer along with a great burger or taco! The food is awesome from people that really care about their product. Whatever you order order it with a side of the mango habanero spread on the side or if you think you got the balls for it ask for the Ghost pepper tacos!! Talking about balls their "Balls to the wall" dessert is a must! Love the food, love the atmosphere, honestly it is my personal happy place!! Thank you guys for opening this awesome place near my house!! Now I don't have to drive to Brickell to go to a nice, casual place!!

This place is so good! When I'm here I wish my stomach was bigger (just kidding) I have been here several times and ordered different things and have liked everything so far! You can tell the chef takes pride in his craft. I have never had to wait to be seated. I have also ordered to go and it's been great. There is always parking available. I am here at least once a month. I just forget to check in

Always a great experience! Friendly staff, quick service, great food! Highly recommend the Orginal burger, it's unfortunate they removed the twisted love fries off their menu.
So...don't ask me why but I gave LHG a 3rd shot...if you want TERRIBLE service give them a visit. Similar to many other reviews, the food tasted great but the service was terrible. My wife and I stood at the bar (which was a mess) we were greeted by multiple people none of which could take our order all of which assured we would be helped in a moment...it was a long moment. We should have got the hint and left then. Instead we ordered drinks followed by food. The drinks came quickly, the food took an hour...mind you, the restaurant was busy but not overflowing...there was a party of 4 that were seated before us and had just started their dinner as we were leaving...I can just imagine how long their food took. Clearly they don't discriminate at LHG...EVERYONE's food takes forever! Sorry LHG but there are far too many other options in Miami for great food accompanied by great service. Practice makes perfect!

I have mixed feelings about this place. While my burger was delicious I am not sure if I will be back. Here is the breakdown: Food: My burger was delicious but what killed it for me were their "fries". Can't believe none of the other reviewers have talked about this. They are not fries at all, hence the quotation marks. They are soggy, greasy, tasteless potato chips. Since when did potato chips start being called fries? They were gross and we did not eat them. I cannot eat a burger without fries to go with it, it is like eating a chocolate chip cookie without milk. Just wrong! The burger was also smaller than I expected and I ordered a second one because I was still hungry. Wait time: While I do appreciate that everything is made to order, we waited about 25 minutes to get our food after we ordered. That seems like 2 hours when you are hungry. Decor: I am not fond of the decor/ atmosphere of this place. While not everyone may care about this point some (like me) do. It seems to me the owners just bought a bunch of random used furniture or some of it was left from a previous tenant and they threw it in there without any kind of thought into the design and flow of the restaurant. The bar is huge and takes up most of the space but was empty. There is a god awful gigantic mural that covers 2 entire walls. What were they thinking with that?! It was distracting me from enjoying my burger b/c it was so ugly. Went to the bathroom and it is old and beat looking, not a thing has been touched since the 80's/ 90's. You can do budget bathroom renovations without spending a lot so there are no excuses for this. Empty old gumball machines outside of the bathroom hallway don't add to the appeal. Bottom line I did really like my burger but if I do eat here again it would probably be takeout and when I am not in any kind of a hurry.

It is a good meal in an area that doesn't have many good restaurants. I like their lettuce wrap tacos. Their soups are also delicious. Their service has been inconsistent. Sometimes it has been average and other times it has been terrible.

Service sucks. Enough to not order dessert and leave in a hurry. It's too bad, honestly the food is great. Our waitress however was acting like she was ignoring our table. Parties seated after us where attended to faster. Hopefully, service is improved. If not there is always takeout. Very disappointed.

Horrible service, waitress came up to our table maybe twice. Food took forever, burger was over cooked, asked if my burger came with French fries they said yes, came with potato chips... Had a horrible experience, wouldn't recommend this place at all!

I get so excited when I see a food truck serving vegetarian food, and lo and behold, Latin House Grill has a wonderful portabella burger for the mushroom lover and anti-meat eater. Not only is it a huge juicy mushroom sauteed and just as unhealthy as a real burger, it's coated in cheeses and caramelized onions. And they serve it up to avoid any messes, neatly wrapped in foil and sliced in half. Perfect for sharing and eating on the go. The wait was a little long, people were complaining. However, I asked in advance how long to expect and it took just about 10 minutes like she said it would. Prices were reasonable, a good $7 for a huge mushroom burger is what I'd expect at a nice burger joint, so nothing to complain about. Definitely will be keeping my eye on this food truck.

Wow we went here about a year ago and I've been bugging my boyfriend to return since but, boy, was I ever disappointed! First things first, the chuchi bowl of rice is as good as ever but hello we're in Miami, I should expect no less! A good bowl of rice isn't particularly hard to find in Miami and Latin House's bowl of rice sure isn't making a lifelong customer out of me - certainly not with their customer service! So my boyfriend finally took me back - for my birthday lunch - after what I can only describe as a decent first time there albeit with excellent food. So we get there at 11-ish am, turns out they don't open until noon - which we didn't know. Well, as I'm pulling on the door handle before realizing this, there is an employee staring right at me just beyond the door who wasn't even kind enough to open the door and let me know or, at the very least, gesture something that would clue me in. So we sat outside and waited for little less than an hour - by far the most highly anticipated letdown of the year. At some point, a young guy clearly dressed as a server walks up to the restaurant so I ask "excuse me, do you work here?" And wouldn't you know it, he just kept walking right past me as if no one said anything at all - and, no, he didn't have headphones on or any other excuse. When we eventually got in the restaurant for lunch, there was the very same server sitting down ever so comfortably waiting for his first table so it wasn't even as if he was in a rush to go do something productive with his time. As soon as we sat down, pumped about my birthday, I started looking over the drink menu. Well, that didn't last long because no sooner than I had picked it up off the table our "server" LITERALLY snatched it out of my hand. Dumbfounded, I looked up only to be told "we don't have anything on that menu." Uhm, excuse me?!?!? What? Come again??? What do you mean you "don't have anything on that menu"? And how do you explain the fact that your hostess JUST sat me down and handed it to me? Nope, no explanations were given, just that they didn't have ANYTHING on that menu. Politely, I say something along the lines of "well, that was also the drink menu did you realize that?" at which point this dimwit of a server (not the same guy who ignored me outside) - whose name I never got because he was never polite enough to tell us, shocker! - said oh yea sorry and gave back the very same menu he had snatched out of my hands a minute earlier. So we order our food and it EASILY took us an hour to receive a chimiburrito, a chuchi bowl of rice, and an order of tacos. I understand that this isn't fast food and it's clearly stated on their menu but I'm sorry the wait is simply not worth it, especially when your server is nowhere to be found the entire hour. Alas, the food FINALLY arrives. Clearly starved, we go to work and are finished eating in roughly 15 minutes. Well, it would be about another 20 before we got our check and 20 more before the server picked up the bill and rang us up. I would love to say that the restaurant was busy but, in fact, it wasn't. Actually, once we set our credit card on the little receipt tray, in plain sight, our server walked by our table about 6-8 times on the way to the table immediately next to us without ever bothering to pick it up and charge us. If we were any other customers, we very well could have walked out the door - and with the amount of time we were waiting to close out our check, let me tell you, I would NOT have been remorseful if we had. It's not like one goes out PLANNING to dine and dash but when your server is not only not interested in charging you but clearly not at all concerned about his tip, there's only so much the customer - and in this case, birthday girl - can put up with. Like I said, we won't be back because the food here simply isn't good enough to justify a 2-hour lunch break or waiting 40 minutes to close out your check. Good riddance, Latin House.

Stopped by Latin House this past weekend & can't wait to go back! Everything was so fresh! For starters we ordered the Queso Fondue & Nachos; both delicious! Then I ordered the Chimi Burrito w/ Vaca frita and that was just AMAZING! Hubby had the muffin tops which he raved about. This place is great and so are the prices! Will definitely be back!

I think my expectations were just entirely too high for this place. I realize they had just opened a couple of weeks before I visited, but it was kind of a mess. We were told we would have a 20 minute wait to be seated, yet the place was half empty. During our meal, staff made continual errors with our orders and drinks would take eons to get to us. In fact, one of them never made it and we had to tell them to remove it from our bill. The food itself was great - just like the truck. However, I found it to be a little overpriced - especially the appetizers. The decor was really nice and it had a cool vibe, I just don't really think I'll be going back as frequently as I anticipated.

I had high hopes for this restaurant.. i used to like getting their food truck fare like everyone else. But again like I've been seeing in more and more reviews... it's definitely gone downhill. Where to begin... So I brought my hubby in to finally try them out since I had a great time on Cinco de Mayo there with a friend. Plus, he loves beer and I do have to give them, they have a good draft selection. They also have a nice decor, the whole lighting situation they've got going on is neat.But that's about it.. again back to the review... So we walked in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We walk in and we are the only ones there. sign said to wait to be seated. Servers and staff walked by, chatted with other staff and we just stood there pretty idiotically when we literally could have sat anywhere, and of coarse was what was told to us by the server once he got around to it. Here's another big issue which ticks me off, the server didn't know a lick of English. yea yea, I'm Cuban and I love the cultural hub that is Miami, but my husband doesn't know Spanish and this guy barely understood me when I was talking Spanish... i didn't know what his deal was but anywho... We ordered the calamari "blossoms" b/c it looked so cool from one of many pictures that chef M posts on Facebook. Let me just say... the most disappointing plate of calamari I've ever seen. Such a small serving, we ate it in 3 minutes.. for I think it was $14 dollars! What a rip. Chef M, please go to ANY other restaurant..Town, City Hall, Yard House, hell, even Redfish Grill which is a fine dining restaurant, serves awesome calamari and NOT for so much $$. Please people, pass on the calamari, you'll be sorely underwhelmed. Next we decided to share the chimiburrito with vacafrita. Apparently my half of this greasy thing barely had any shreds of meat.. lots of cheese and lots of rice. NOT Happy, I yearned for more meat, sad even.. But the biggest insult... the bill. Mind you, we had 2 beers, SHARED an app and SHARED the burrito. Over $40?! Yea, they even charged EXTRA for using vaca frita instead of whatever other meat. A burrito for $14? Your out of your mind "chef M". FYI, you can get a big plate of vacafita at _____________ (insert any cuban restaurant) for $9-$12 including rice, beans, maduros... pft! I feel bad for the negative review, but it is what it is... If I ever go again, I'll stick to the burger.. just make sure you ask for the temp, cuz they'll give you an overcooked medium well if you leave it to them.

Suck on my chocolate salty balls. A warm fudgy/brownnie style center, surrounded by a warm doughnut layer and then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. See, they even included the delicious money shot for you! These are so ridiculously good, I don't care how ridiculous I look eating it.

As I sit here waiting almost 1 hour for my 4 tacos I wonder how this place is even surviving. We questioned the waiter why it was taking so long and we were informed that since there are 2 tables with more than 4 people that got here ahead of us, their food has priority (I was with 1 other person). Apparently the chef or cook cannot concentrate on more than 1 table order at a time. To make it worse there is a lady at the bar ALONE that has been waiting even LONGER than we have for her food. Really? Plus no manager no duty to apologize for the ridiculous wait time. It's my first time here, and even if those tacos make me orgasm I will probably never come back.... That is if I even get served my tacos!!!!

After being a huge fan of the food truck, I was excited to try LHBTB's new Sunset locale, and it did not disappoint. So much so that I came twice in one week! The first time was for a lunch date with the boo. We shared the chips and pico as an appy and the grilled chimi burrito (stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, vaca frita and topped with guacamole and crema). This thing was HUGE - I got to talk half of my half home to have for lunch the next day! The second time I came, my fam and I ordered the queso with chorizo dip. I would have preferred that it was more queso-y and creamy and not as chock full of chorizo, but it was delicious nonetheless. For my main entree I opted for the Mad Love Cuban burger (topped with guava and queso blanco) and the tangled fries. So much noms in this plate, I could hardly contain myself.. so I didn't. My family and I shared the balls to the wall for dessert (fried brownie balls drizzled with condensed milk and powdered sugar). It was awesome, but they weren't fried all the way (still some gooey batter left over). The service both times was great, albeit a bit slow the second time around; however, it WAS a Saturday and burgers do take longer to cook, so there were no complaints from me. The parking is easy as pie, as there's a HUGE lot to accommodate guests. WIll definitely come back!

5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. definitely not 5 stars, but not terrible, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait. It's always tempting to order a burger (they are delicious), but it's probably best to go with the Chimi Burrito or a Chuchi Bowl of Rice with carne asada. You can't go wrong with either one.

There were a couple of things deterring me from Latin House Burger. 1. It says "Latin". I hate that term. I'm not even going to get into it. Also, apart from the dude that's preparing your food, and about 90% of the patrons, I don't think there's anything Latin about this place. Their menu offers a variety of cultural flavors and is not limited to spickiness. They should rename the restaurant and call it International House of Burgers and Tacos. They should also relocate next to the International House of Pancakes and piss them off. Then when you tell people you're going to IHOB, they think you have a speech impediment. 2. It's in Kendall. 3. It's a food truck, and food trucks travel to you. Thanks to Groupon, I took my culinary explorations down south, and west, and now that I've tried it, I'd definitely come back for some burgerdome -- IF I'm in the area.

I have been here once and had purchased from the food truck previously. This is one of those controversial reviews for me. My wife likes it and other people I know love the place but I really feel its a bit hype. Having gone to many places in MIami and abroad, this place and its food is average to above average. Most of what I ate was greasy and the prices are too high for the kind of food they serve. Did I like the food, yes. A 3 out of 5 for me. Did I think it was worthy of a revisit? Not really. The staff is nice but there are too many of them and they "stumble" over each other. The interior is loud, and even though everything is relatively new in regards to decor, it does not have a well thought out theme or vibe. Its a mish mash of style. Its one of those places that you'll like or won't. Would I recommend it... sure give it a try there are a lot of people who love it. I think they will be more successful if they lower their prices, find their identity.

You know that saying "curiousity killed the cat," well my husband and I drive west on Bird Rd often and kept seeing LHG's food truck. Like typical Miamians, we were curious/nosey and wanted to see if this truck was any good. Unbeknownst to us, this was the first day to a new way of living. (And so curiousity did NOT kill us :) We were immediately LHG fans 'fo lyfe' after our first taste of their Ribeye Flatton. It was bursting with latin flavor!!! Everything from the soft flatbread to the flavorful ribeye to the delicious sauces, soooooo good. From that moment on I made it my duty to share this food truck with EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE. My personal favorites are the Ribeye puffy flatton (Flatbread stuffed with Ribeye topped with pico de gallo and their yummy sauces), the french muffin top (slider topped with slivered almonds, honey and brie!), the coconut shrimp tacos (the balance of sweetness, crunchy texture and latin flavor is absolutely divine), the chimiburrito (A deep fried burrito stuffed with Chuchi's famous yellow rice, your choice of protein, sweet plantains, three types of cheeses), and of course their balls to the wall (rich brownie battered, deep fried then served with a drizzle of condensed milk). My husband and I have been faithful LHG stalkers since the beginning and I am so thankful for Chuchi, Michell and Bella for sharing their flavors with the streets of South Florida! Not only do you experience great food but you experience top notch customer service! :) LHG FTW!!!!!!!

Ok the food is amazing! Those chimichanga burritos (carne asada) are insane with the lime avocado sauce. Aged gouda red pepper soup, enough said! And well the muffin tops are a must (try all the mini versions). And everything is available in light version (but if not an every week stop then go for the full fat plate). Only thing is they are stingy with everything ie. charge for any sauce, fries on side of your plate instead of on plate they charge as a side?!? And they do not believe in mustard! and yes, staff/seating/host, subpar- but hey itsa food truck gone stripmall! Good tuesday taco specials and locals kareoke specials! and cant forget, the balls to the wall! Caution, so good!

I drive by this place almost every day and I've been meaning to check it out since it opened. Finally I did. Not all spin-offs are as successful as the original and many are not successful at all. Take Joey from Friends, After M*A*S*H or Joanie loves Chachi, all awful spin-offs of very successful shows. Then there are The Simpsons, Frasier, and now the Latin House Grill. A spin-off of the original food truck, this is probably the best new restaurant in the Kendall area. As soon as I entered the place I liked it. The decor is very modern and I'm a sucker for uncovered roof, exposed air ducts and hanging light bulbs. Makes me feel like I'm hanging out in a loft in midtown Manhattan. The place was a little busy but we were seated within 5 minutes. The menu is intense. Not large but full of great choices. Everything looked delicious. Also the beer selection is pretty good. We started with the Carne con queso. Spicy but not overly, creamy, and with a subtle hint of lime, it was delicious and the tri-colored tortilla chips were a nice touch. As entrees I had the Chimi-Burrito with carne asada, a pile of deliciously season rice, tons of carne asada, lathered on crema mexicana, guacamole and cheese all wrapped up in a corn tortilla and the......(drum roll).... flash fried. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! First of all, the thing is huge (I know....THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID). I saved half for lunch next day plus you need space for desert, believe; you want dessert. The burrito is delicious, and the flash fry makes the tortilla crisp to the bite but dissolves in your mouth. I have never tried a burrito like this but from now on my burritos must be flash fried. My girlfriend had the Grilled Flatton with rib-eye. The tenderness of the meat, the taste, and boy that avocado-lime sauce is incredible. For dessert we had the Balls to the Wall with Ice cream, of course. Two perfectly round balls of sugary fried dough filled with a mixture of chocolate and condensed milk, with a ball of creamy vanilla ice cream all surrounded by more condensed milk, now that is a way to finish the meal. Now here is the one negative thing and I have to talk about it because a lot of reviewers seemed to have had the same issue. SERVICE!!! Eventhough our server was very helpful and took our order pretty quick, our drinks and our appetizer came out pretty quick, our dinner took a bit long. It could have been a kitchen problem because around that time started to get busy but our server did not help much. He was a bit slow and at times he look like a chicken running with his head cut off. Even the group next to us asked us if our food had taken too long. I do like the fact that the owners came around a few times but please understand that good food is only going to take so far. Eventually the service must be improved. Especially when so many people seemed to agree. This still a great place even with the spotty service. My suggestion is, be patient.

Ordered take out from here with the girls from work a few months back and it was fantastic! I got the puffy flatton with cilantro lime chicken, and while the chicken tasted like neither, the entree itself was sinfully delicious. Came to eat in for the first time this past Thursday, which happened to be karaoke night, but I digress. When we arrived, the dining room was pretty empty. Our party of five was seated at a table in the middle, but we were asked to move just as our drinks arrived as they had a party of twenty (eek) about to arrive. Of course I happened to be reading the yelp reviews at the same moment I hear about the monstrously-sized party, and quite the handful of people have bemoaned the service while having a large party being served at the same time, citing the larger parties taking precedence over the smaller. My first thought was "oh sh@!", naturally. However, I was pleasantly surprised - we didn't seem to take the backseat to anyone, our food arrived fast and the order correct. We did, however, have to flag down a waiter for refills, but not a huge deal. The food in house was absolutely fantastic. My sons (4 & 5) both demolished and obliterated two sliders a piece. They stated they were the best burgers they'd ever had. I had my same puffy flatton, and my husband had the same except with carne asada. We usually have leftovers wherever we go. But not here! Between my boys and husband, everyones plates were cleaned. All in all, a great experience. We'll definitely be back! For those who say it is pricey, it is no more expensive than your typical chain (Chili's/Fridays) and the food is WAY better.

They may have been a wonderful food truck, but the restaurant SUCKS! Save your money. Taco Bell and Burger King taste better. Inexperienced wait staff - Deer in the Headlights! No liquor - they just got their license so the kegs were warm. WONDERFUL! BUT, Hey! There was no shortage of water. Great ,if you are trekking through the desert. I won't be giving them a second chance at my hard earned money.

We came on Food Truck Night, Which I can remember which night it was (I want to say Monday?) After sitting down we were given the menus and our server let us know of the Food Truck Sampler that had all their food truck options as samples. We went ahead and orders those. We waiting a little while not too long at all. Once the food came out it was Great! 1st thing i grabbed and bit into was the carnitas taco wow the flavor was on point! then I tried the half cut burrito that came in the box and it was to my sweet surprise, sweet and salty! they had a fried sweet plantain in my fried burrito!? Hold the phone "Amazing" I loved the flavor combination! I'd come back to this place any time but saving it for "Cheat night" the Food is Heavy Awesome! Oh and about the service, we had no issues at all everything was fast and great even spoke with the owner who was behind the bar. Great food, service and decor. As I said will definitely come back.

I will never go anywhere near this place ever again. I'd been there before and had sketchy service, but tonite took things to a whole other level. My friend arrives before me with her special-needs son. When I walk in the door, there is water spilled all over their table, dripping onto her son and the floor. When I asked what happened, my friend said they put the water down in front of her son, and he accidentally knocked it over...5 minutes before. There were managers and staff standing around and no one was helping her clean it up....and there were no napkins anywhere to help her. A young man who works there comes over with a bottle of spray and a rag, puts them on the table and walks away, cleaning NOTHING. And the water continues to drip everywhere. I grabbed a napkin from the hostess stand and try to stem the tide. Not one person came to help me. The other customers were staring in disbelief. We got up, gathered her very hungry son and walked out. No one approached us or apologized. Let me not forget to mention there were a bunch of empty tables, and people waiting at the door. I have NEVER seen anything like that in my life. This was my birthday dinner. This is where I picked to go. The funny(?) part is, right before i left my house, I was reading the YELP reviews about the service and thought to myself "no place can be THAT bad". I was wrong. It was WORSE. They need to go back to what they did right..the food truck. THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER!!! ***Just an update~ The owner did reach out to me and we spoke at length about what happened and she asked how she could make it right. I asked if she could call my friend and apologize, which she did. That was classy. She did offer to buy us dinner. We have not yet been back. I'll keep you posted.***

Dear owner of Latin House, I had a terrible experience here last night! When we first got there they told us 30-45 minute wait when clearly there were several available tables (i guess this place is understaffed and can't keep up with the volume of people? I don't know) but we waited and we were sat around the 35 minute mark. We then placed our drink order and our appetizer order and main meal order. We got our drinks in a timely matter (decent selection of craft beers) but the app did not come out for almost an hour. The waitress constantly assured us our main food would be out soon...soon turned out to be, after patiently waiting for a total of TWO HOURS, "I'm sorry but the kitchen seems to have lost your order...." WHAT?!?!? lost our order?! Why did the app come out then? The waitress then re-took our order and promised to comp our drinks. 25 minutes later, we get our food which was mediocre at best, a little salty and then to be absolutely critical the fries were cold. (which means they have a dysfunctional kitchen with major timing problems) To top it off, the waitress couldn't comp our drinks but did comp our app which was also a huge disappointment due to the price difference! I was a really patient and understanding customer and when mistakes happen, you, "Latin House", needs to make the negative experience into a positive one and yet you failed on every chance to make it right. I don't even know how express what a total letdown this was. It's sad because i really try to support local business and avoid chain restaurants but when it all boils down to quality control and getting it right. My group at the end wished we had gone to Beer & Burger Joint (chain) . You lost, what could have been a loyal customer. PS. Hire more people please, i think you have enough volume to afford it. At least bring out chips or something (you are a taco bar) to keep the customer entertained until the food arrives 2 hours later.

Omg, this is a dangerous place to have right next door to where I work. They have such a great menu with different foods! I always end up getting the "chimi burrito" which always ends up being way to much food. It's basically a big burrito stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, protein of choice, and cheese and then fried.....basically a heart attack in a plate. I've also tried the clam chowder and lobster bisque bread bowl soups.... Both were awesome! They have a pretty good beer selection as well. My favorite is the Andygator, strong beer with a light taste! I've also tried the purple haze which is way lighter but still good. I love the industrial look to it and the staff is always so friendly! During one of my many visits (lol) the owner came to our table to make sure everything was good. This makes me feel good about spending my money on such unhealthy food!

All I can say is: nom, nom, nom nom nom! I hate to admit this but I had never tried their food truck when they drove around. But came here one day to catch up with my cousin. We both ordered the burrito and omg it is HUGE! Yes Luis S. may be on to something about the gigantic portions but it is up to the customer if they want to eat the whole thing. Personally, it was too much for me so I took some home so I can have lunch for work the next day. Our burrito was out of this world! Defienitely something I have never tried before with plantains inside the burrito. The beer selection is awesome! And service is the best. They always came around to make sure that we were doing good.

Beautiful decor!! But worst customer service!!! Went last night the waitress sit us down, we wait like 10 minutes abd then another waitress ask us who gave you the menu??? We are close you dont see the open sign is off?? I think that was very rude basically she kick us out ... So dissapointed!!! The food looks yummi but i think latin burger needs to hire more respectful staff :(

Should be 5 stars except for the service. I have been to the Latin House around 6 times since it opened. As for the food, everything has been great - Burgers - awsome - Tacos - 4 tacos with your choice of protein including vaca frita, shrimp and the usuals - Soups - Big and great tasting. Lobster bisque in a bread bowl. - Great beer selection on tap (Blue moon in a fresh cold glass with an orange slice every serving) The only issue is the service. I can't say why it is hit or miss every time I go. It is worth the trouble, since the service can be much worse and the food is way too good.

Fries... Curly and tangled. Taste like savory morsels of crispy deliciousness. Libation... over 20 non-traditional brews to choose from. If you're lady doesn't like beer (like mine), try the Angry Orchard apple, it's a yummer! The original burger... was on point! Mushrooms were soft, but the star of the show were the caramelized onions. Shout out to John F. (our server) for an excellent virgin experience!

Can not believe it took me a few weeks to finally get to try Latin House, but I'm so excited I did because it is by far the best new restaurant in the Kendall area...I'd even list it as one of Miami's best newest restaurants. We ordered the following: -Appetizer: Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. Between the two of us, we ate about half of the dish and that's cause we were stuffing our faces. It's plenty for 4 people and it only costs $8.99 -Entrees: 1) Chimi Burrito w/Carne Asada @ 13.99 and 2) 2 Muffin Tops (French and Western @ 10.99) Okay, let me just say that we decided to get 2 entrees so that we could get a taste of the food and plus, our waitress recommended it. She was very friendly and offered many suggestions...and dang she was right b/c we didn't try anything we didn't love. So first, the Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. OMG! I'm not sure if all the loads of Chorizo meat gave these loaded skinny fries the "it" factor, but the whole dish, including the pico de gallo, and avocado-lime were to-die-for. I could eat this everyday. This hands-down beats any "loaded" nachos anywhere else that lack meat, cheese etc.. Next, we took one look at the Chimi Burrito and our jaws dropped. Because we had the other 2 burgers, we decided to only eat half the burrito, which was just enough. (Heck once we finished the 2 Muffin Tops, we were stuffed). Anyways, the burrito, which also came with skinny string fries, was very flavorful. The tortilla was very crunchy (maybe fried?) and the filling was just so full of carne asada, queso, rice, and plantains! Loved the flavor on this dish as well... And finally, we made it to the 2 Muffin Tops, which are basically small burgers. NO - not sliders, bigger! The beef patty is a 1/4 pounder so 2 Muffin Tops between 2 people is perfect. The French was just so yummy. We love brie cheese and almonds so this burger was just perfect. And the Western was well, your typical juicy burger with a good amount of BBQ sauce on top of an onion ring. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert...Next time... OH did I mention they have a very good selection of craft beers. A+ And to top it off, a waiter came after us (once we had left the restaurant) to return a $10 bill we had inadvertently dropped at our booth. We were so happy with everything & this kind of honestly that we told him to keep the bill & split it w/the waitress. Good job guys! Keep it up!

Came into the restaurant with big expectations. What a disappointment! Starting w/ the overpriced chips and pico de gallo and moving right along to the Calle tacos. Imagine the disappointment when my hubby was served 4 tiny (3 inch) tacos that looked like a meal for my 10 year old son. The shrimp quesadilla appetizer was Overflowing with cheese, perhaps 2 large shrimp, and a few of the tiniest shrimps I have ever seen! Oh and by the way if you choose Carne asada as your "protein" of choice just be aware that you will be charged an extra $2. If you decide to visit, you better hope they do not have a party because if they do you will have to wait until the party group gets their food before you are served. Even if you arrived BEFORE the party! What a disappointing $85 meal... And that's without dessert or drinks!!! Will not return.

Average food. S-L-O-W service. The workers acted like it was business as usual. It was a Sunday night around 8pm and their were maybe 6 parties on the whole place

With the sudden proliferation of food trucks in Miami, LHG still holds a dear place in my heart and tummy. It still remains as one of the better food trucks out there and one of the best when it comes to burgers. When I saw their menu they had several items that were teasing me but alas, I went with their recommendation of the sliders- and I was glad I did! I went with their recommendation of their best sellers: French, Mexican, and Italian. They are small but they pack a ton of meat, and more importantly, flavor. The French is by far the BEST one on that menu. At first I thought: "Honey and almonds in my burger? Are they crazy!" One bite and I thought they were indeed crazy...crazy good!!! The subtle sweetness from the honey is the perfect compliment to the meat and the almonds give it the perfect crunchy texture. The Mexican was another favorite of mine. The wonderful taste of the cilantro came through perfectly and wasn't masked by anything else. On the other hand, the Italian was the least of my favorites when compared with the rest- it didn't have the same flavor profiles the other ones did. All in all, LHG delivered and has been consistently doing so. Just one bite is all it'll take to make you become a lifetime stalker...it did for me!

AMAZING. Food was filling and delicious for a reasonable price. The service was great and very respectful. Appetizer, entree, or dessert, you will not be disappointed here. Best nachos ever, chips weren't too salty and they packed it with meat and extras. Then the chimichanga was my favorite and would go back in a heartbeat! I hope this restaurant is here to stay and grows! Good luck and support this place. One of the best in a while!

Now the truck has grown up and become a full blown restaurant. Was there with both my older kids a few weeks ago. The place ROCKS! The look is like the love child of sleek sexy Scan Design and Bad Ass Cholo. When you walk in the front door you HAVE to look at the incredible mural to your right - sugar skull feme fetal! The food has gotten even better. What was once in limited quantity now is plentiful and all you need to do is ask! The service was great, the place is beautiful and the food incredible. We ordered a Puffy Flatton with vaca frita, Mad Love burger and Taqueria Calle Tacos (fish, chicken, vaca frita). I had trouble choosing a beer - there are so many that I must return to try them all! Still great food but now a great place to take the family, watch a game or sample chef's specials like the Tomahawk Steak that the thought of is making me drool.
All I gotta say is I'm in a love with a food truck she poppin, she rollin, she rollin. I've pretty much tried everything on the menu. I like them all. I got a soft spot for the sneaky chicken nachos. Its so good, so I always order them with a mad love. The tacos and flatons are good. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Lastly , their "balls to the wall" will get you balls to the wall. Seriously this little concoction (deepfried battered brownie) is heavenly. The taste reminds me of tempura ice-cream, the ice cream being substituted by a brownie. Next time I get the "balls to the wall" I will make sure to bring some ice-cream because "balls to the wall" + ice cream (cookies and cream for me) = Epic mouth explosion.

Today was my second visit here. It was not at all like my first visit. The first time we came, we sat at the bar and was greated by a server Jose. He was great. We asked what he recommended. Being our first time here and all. He said "Do not eat the tacos. Have a burger. They are all great". So we orderd The Originial and The Western. Both were great it was awsome. Jose was social. We had a great time. Now today. Not so good. We sat at the bar again. It took about ten minutes for somene to take our order. We asked for Dos Equis. It was flat. It took another 10 minutes for our appetizer, Sneaky Nachos. Which were really good by the way. Then another 15 minutes for food to arrive. We ordered the French Burger and a LHG Torta. So good. The food is great here, do not get me wrong. But the service today was just awful. I will come back to taste another burger. I just hope that the service will be different.

This has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had! Not only are they slow, but dirty, and have no regard for customer service what so ever. Lets start from the beginning... 3 couples at the door...waiters walking by...bartendar looking at us and no one even greeted any of us...finally 10 min into it a very slow hostess appears. She walks us to a table that was still dirty and literally brushes off the table with her hand unto the floor. The guy "sweeping" walked by the trash over and over again. The food took forever, they ran out of string fries and started inventing another type. So we had two different fries on the plate. My glass of water was empty for I dont know how long when I asked the waiter for water and hot sauce...he took over 10 minutes where my fiance had to get up and get it for me, and again no one wondered why we were literally serving ourselves. The food got cold waiting for the hot sauce. And when again we got up to get boxes to go...eventually the waiter asked if everything was ok. When we mentioned everything all he said was yes I understand very bad service, you dont have to tip me if you dont want. Really?! No apology, let me bring the manager. I so wish yelp had half star ratings! The food is definitely not worth the hassle. I wouldn't bother giving them another try.

The service is terrible and the owner is a dick. Food taste good but extremely over priced and they don't serve enough on a plate. If your the type of person who eats more than a mouse and don't like to be talked down to, then stay away from this restaurant.

I reeeeaalllllyyy liked this place. I have only visited once so far, but I will definitely be back. The Sneaky Nachos with Carne Asada were wonderful, not too heavy with the toppings (I hate it when nachos are so smothered with crap that you can't even see the tortilla chips). I had a Bulgarian Burger- mouth watering good. Drinks are limited to beer and wine. When we asked if sangria was available, our server said she would make some for us, which was actually very nice and refreshing. Beer selection was solid. We will definitely be back. Great service, great food.

I like Ingrid Hoffman on Food Network and have had wonderful hamburgers all over Latin America so I had high hopes for this restaurant. But hat a disappointment. It was very jarring to be in a restaurant that has Food Network shows going on three tvs in and endless loop while this crap is served up. First, the portions the muffinburger served at lunch for for eight bucks are not burgers they are sliders. Second, I ordered the "Mexican" because I look fresh bold flavors. I got no heat but just a greasy melted mess. Instead of fries you get tasteless chips whose only identifying feature is they curl. The atmosphere is more grunge bar/nightclub then Miami restaurant. Maybe that works at night but during the day, it has a hellish feel. Prices are also very hight for what it is. Place was empty except at lunchtime except for one screaming baby who on his own managed to make the restaurant noisy. I like to write positive or a least balanced reviews. But this place had no redeeming features. I am amazed that Ms. Hoffman would squander her reputation on this place. Not going back!!!!!

I have been to Latin House twice and each time loved the food! Apparently word has been getting around about this place cause it was packed! I absolutely love the funky art work they have all over the walls. It sets a Wynwood feel inside the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. If you are a fan of spicy, order the mango habanero sauce! Its Fire!! I will definitely be back to visit soon.

If you are looking for a light bite... Keep driving. This place serves big food. Perhaps a little too big! The French burger with the unexpected toppings of Brie cheese, almonds and honey is fantastic. It's sweet/salty/crunchy and beefy! I also ordered the pig wings appetizer which was entree sized. The pork was very tender and the glaze was an unusual mix of BBQ and Asian flavors. I would surely come back but need a few friends to help eat everything!

Oh, Latin House. I have hope for you yet. Really, I do. I get it - it's a challenging transition to go from food truck to an actual brick-and-mortar location. The logistics are crazy different. It's a tough gig, my friend. So this review will be without my usual cutting sarcasm (I know, I know...I'm getting soft in my old age) and just focus on some of the bright spots...and well, some areas that could use some polishing up. Now, just to get it on record, I've stopped by LH a total of four times - enough to write a fair review of what's doin' here. Latin House, you could be my go-to neighborhood...almost everything, really. Bar, late night munchies, casual lunch on the go - but you're not quite there. Yet. The food: Fat kid heaven. Just amazing. The succulently meaty pig wings. The juicy Mad Love brimming with a generous heaps of tangled potatoes. Even the health(ier) lettuce wrap tacos with chorizo are chock full of savory, greasy flavor. That is, when you actually have the food in stock. 3 out of my 4 visits, notable items were missing from the menu. And I'm not talking just one or two. We're talking closer to four dishes that we were told "sorry, no can do" on one particular visit. JG: "We'll have the pig wings" LH: "Sorry, we're out." JG: "Ok, well...let's go with the Queso." LH: "Um, we don't have that either." JG: "So....what about the shrimp?" LH: "No, I'm sorry." JG: "Ok, *what* do you have?" LH: "Chips and pico." JG: "Fine. We'll take it." On another visit, they were out of lettuce for the lettuce wraps. Also, chorizo and carne asada options for fillings. Note: this was at 7pm. Still pretty early on in the evening. Service: Spotty, at best. Front of house is what really needs the work here. On two occasions we've had waiters completely save the day for us (one waiter comped us 4 glasses of cider because our order of 1 taco dish and 1 tostada dish had failed to come out after a 50 minute wait - come to find out, the kitchen had "forgotten" our order). On another visit, a waiter went above and beyond to adjust some dishes for us due to food allergies. Good stuff. However, twice we've taken a seat at the bar to wait for our table and on both occasions noticed that hostess had forgotten about us and had started to seat new patrons in available booths. The hubs had to remind her on each occasion that we had been waiting patiently at the bar for her. Beer selection: Strong. Some nice craft selections on draft and a particular big-ups for carrying some amazing cider choices (Fox Barrel!). Also, while the wine list is limited, they're well-chosen bottles that are quite delicious and complex. Look, I'm not looking for any hate mail here. I truly love the food and decor and think you have a potentially amazing thing going here. Just need a couple of tweaks to get this set-up running like the well-oiled machine it deserves to be.

I heard a lot of good things about this place from family and friends and decided to finally come and try it. I have to day I am a burger joint owner so I have become very critical with the places I visit who serve burgers. I have to say that after trying the mad love burger I have become a new fan. My wife had the chimi burrito which was awesome as well. I will recommend this place to all my friends and will continue to come and try new thing.

It's been 4 months since my initial review. I found myself in the area about lunch time and the place was pretty empty, so I decided to give it another shot. I ordered the smoked Gouda roasted red pepper soup and the fish tacos. The soup was good not great. The fish in the fish tacos were fried not grilled. It's possible the menu said it was fried, but I didn't see that. However, I liked the fish tacos enough to eat 3 of the 4 served. The menu though does make it seem, like you're about to eat something with a lot of different flavors and I didn't exactly get that. Despite all the toppings, it was a little bland. Problem fixed by adding mango habanero hot sauce which was delicious ( I don't know if they make it in house). The service was great. On the whole, the food here isn't bad; it's also not worth the hype. If I were eating it off a food truck, I'd probably think its the best thing in the world, but for a sit down restaurant it's alright. Wouldn't be opposed to going back if I were in the area again.

I went here alone on Saturday. I was very skeptical about dining in alone but the bartender and waiter convinced me to stay. The staff is really nice and the food is great! And their sangria is to die for!

Delish food! I have even there several times since opening...ad everything has improved, so give them another chance. The food is amazing. Everything from burgers to tacos to my new favorite the carne asada flatton. And make sure you save room for dessert--balls to the wall!!! If they have the appy special of guacamole--get it! Great flavor. Chef M and his team are doing a great job and Lov having another food option in the area

Lori R.
I Like.... a LOT I was already a fan of the truck and the food at the restaurant is also really good! Sweet shrimp and carnitas appetizer was very tasty. The day we went they had some cocktail shrimp swimming in a tangy, limey pico de gallo which was pretty darn good... one complaint: The picture on the flyer had avocado and our dish had none, not that it mattered much since we ate every bite of that thing like it was our last meal before Armageddon, but I'm sure it would've been even better with a little aguacate in there... The tacos had this amazing avocado lime sauce....and the little muffin top burgers really hit the mark, not overly dressed, but just enough to impress... My favorite: French... brie and almonds = Awesome! And lastly but not leastly, the tap beer selection is pretty vast.... can't wait to go back and try them all.... We showed up at an off time and the place was rather quiet, everything was served quickly and and our server was awesome... I'll be back - many, many times

Love this place! I have tried the mad love burger, nachos (appetizer), chimi (fried), bowl of rice with chicken and ribeye, tacos, and carne asada dish with rice and maduros. I have also tried the flatton, and not a big fan. The wait staff (most) should be swapped around. Not all 5 stars due to mediocre service, sneaky wording on "nachos with carne asada?" When it is $2 extra and it just catch me off guard because at first I said ribeye, and extra charge (with zero notice) on the extra garlic aioli sauce that came with the madlove burger.

Once you try LHG goodness,.. you WILL become a "food stalker"... you'll join their facebook,. their twitter and follow every blog that mentions their name... I realized their food was Gold that when waiting for the Mad Love Burger, 2 City of Miami Paramedic Trucks and a Fire Engine pulled up to order... these guys have their own posse! Mad Love Burger. Layered w/Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, mushrooms, caramelized onions, I opted for the habanero mango sauce and was topped with these amazing crispy po-ta-toes confetti..... it looked so beautiful...(happy tears)... Held together nicely throughout the meal. The Chimi Burrito was Gianormous!... I opted for the ribeye but minus the egg. This one might get messy, so grab a fork and dive in. Im a big guy with a ferocious appetite, but with this burrito I did not stand a chance. I recommend as an order for 2... Much lighter if ordered w/ chicken. I will next try the Puffy Flatton, Chicken Soft Taco or Cabo Wabo Fish Tacos and CHUCHI RICE!!!! Currently, their International sliders are what's popping. Great people & food.

This is simply where it's at. After trying the perfection know as the "MadLove" Burger and their "Sneaky" Nachos, I've come to the conclusion that Latin House Grill is the best food stand/truck in Miami. The burger is cooked to order, topped with grilled onions and mushrooms, plus fresh avocado, made to order. It is then topped with three different cheeses, and a bundle of crispy string fries. The bun is warmed up on the grill, and only adds to the amazing-ness of the whole ordeal. On top of all those delicious add-ons, you have a huge selection of sauces, ranging from mango-habanero, to jalapeño-cilantro. This huge burger runs about $7.00, but it surely gets the job done. They also offer tacos, nachos, burritos, and "flatton" (not sure what that is). I tried the nachos and they were excellent. The meat on them is hot off the grill, and then topped with two (or three?!) types of cheese. Great stuff here, too, with all the fixings you need/want. If Latin House Grill is in your area, be sure to give them a call, or follow them on Twitter/Facebook, for one of the best lunch/dinners of your life. The only downside is that it is cash only, so bring dollars and cents before you head out (they are working on putting out a credit card system soon). The owners/employees are super nice, and the service is always extremely fast. I don't know what else I could ask for. Maybe if the truck came with a beer dispenser? Just kidding, Latin House Grill is one of my favorite spots at the moment. Mango-habanero sauce ftw (for the win)!

I was at a festival and came across this place. I didn't actually order anything myself, but had a taco and a bit of burger from Ginas plate. yep... i'm a pig and don't dare dangle food in my face, i'll bite your fingers! But it wasn't the burger or taco that was anything special... but the mango habanero sauce. it was out of this world!!!!! I'm in desperate need of a recipe... or can you buy this stuff in store. I WANT MORE!!!

We had seen the TV segments a few times, and finally made it out there! Fantastic. We had the small nacho platter with the carne asada and it was great. The lime avocado sauce and pico on top of the rainbow tortilla chips- finger licking good. It was huge for a small platter. Meals: Burger, Lettuce Tacos, MadLove wings and chicken kids tacos. ALL of it was good. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chef. We were too full for desert so we will be going back for that and dying to try the frita. The server was very attentive and really knew his menu. The food takes a little bit to come out but not a long crazy wait, and they cook to order so it's fresh. I can honestly say the portions were huge and sooo good.

Burger or Hamburger is savored as the most desired fast food meal in the United States. A hamburger is basically a sandwich prepared by stuffing ground meat patty, generally beef, between two slices of a bun cut in half. Hamburger is also famous for its seasoning. Most popular condiments used in hamburgers in the United States are mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup. Besides ground meat patty, hamburgers are also stuffed with lettuce, onions, tomato slices, pickles, and cheese.
Hamburgers are also categorized into two types in the United States. Fast food hamburger and individual hamburgers served at restaurants are two basic types of burgers served in the United States. The individual hamburgers served at restaurants are prepared using everything including lettuce, onion, tomato, and sliced pickles as well as melted cheese on the patty or crumbled on top. American restaurants also serve veggie burgers for those who don't relish meat. Cheeseburgers are also hot favorite in the United States.
McDonalds is the most popular fast food burger restaurant serving different types of burgers in the United States. On the other hand, there are several restaurants such as Burger King are famous for serving the best hamburgers in the United States.

You can easily find the best burger restaurants in your city on our Restaurants Listings directory.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This place rocks, recently visited once and for sure going back!!!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when a restaurant has a lunch menu and the waiter gives you a regular menu. I asked my waiter if there was a smaller portion of tacos, and he said no - that I had to get four tacos. After several questions back and forth, he finally told me there was a lunch portion, after I asked for it. We also ordered two kids meals, which were Tiny and pricey ($7.99). I guess their baby burger would work for a four year old, but my 11 year old left hungry. Bottom line: this place serves good food, but it's quite pricey for what it is.
(2)Andy D.
Maybe it's me, but it sure seems like the waitstaff has a lot of down time. The restaurant is full, but the staff seems largely inattentive. The bartender has a "why am I working here" attitude, and another bartender, she doesn't know if she should drink behind the bar or in front of it. It was food that I complained about when I ate at the truck so very long time ago, now it was service. It was not that the I was never served, I was it's just that bartenders are the ambassadors of the industry, a bad bartender, and it's like going to the dentist, you'd rather be some place else. From appearance management was as bad as employee's and they didn't have a grip on standards. I did come across a friendly bartender, he used words like "Good Choice" and "Can I Help You" positive words, asking me if I liked my meal. I was happy my pretty little bartender was away even if it was temporary. The food was exceptional, five "fu%$en" stars. I ordered the Masitas, they sure did look like Tostadas, but what ever you name it, they were excellent. I wanted to order more, but since the bar was the gathering point for the employee's, I burned out and needed to go. Now would I go back............... The food was good, but I'd sit at a table, the bar lacks professionalism.

Is there a way to give less than 1 star? I haven't left a review in a while, nor have I felt more compelled to do so this time... I consider myself a burger junkie and make sure to hit some of the top rated burgers in every city I go. I decided to try this place out and boy was a blown away. About how bad it was. Atmosphere was average, service was average, but all of that was overlooked by just how awful the food was. I decided to get their classic "award-winning" burger and one bite in I realized it was the worst mistake of my life. It was, without exaggeration, the absolute worst burger and meal that I have ordered in any eating institution. I mean, honestly, ever. As my wife was saying how terrible her meal was, I asked her to try my burger. It took just 1 bite for her to realize exactly was I was experiencing, sheer straight terribleness. I don't know if the cook was having a bad night and demolished both of our dishes, but I can safely say I'll never step foot near this place again. The sangria was good.

Visited this place last week while vacationing in Miami. My family and I thought we'd give the place a try after watching it on diners drive-ins and dives since the food looked so delicious. We were not disappointed! We ordered the mango habanero wings for starters which were quite spicy but very flavorful. For mains we got the chimi burrito, which was good but a little bland, the rice bowl with chicken which was amazing, some of the best rice I've had, the Cuban burger which had a sweet kick to it and the nachos which were by far the best thing we ordered! It was layered with lots of cheese and chicken, simply delicious! By the time dessert came around we were way too stuffed to order anything else since the portions were quite big. I would give this place 5 stars if the service wasn't so slow but regardless was a place worth trying. Make sure to order all your food and drinks at once so you don't have to keep asking the waiter to come around, and then waiting for them to help you out. I'll be sure to visit if I'm in the Miami area again!

I decided to try this place after purchasing a groupon. I am glad I didn't read the reviews prior to doing so, or I might have not done so due to comments on the service. Our service started out a little slow, but overall was decent. Our waitress, who had only been working there a few weeks, was awesome! She made great recommendations, and checked on us a few times after the meal was served. Our groupon was $28 and included 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 2 glasses of wine or beer. We started out with a cheesy fondue that had huge chunks of Carne Asada in it! OMG..it was heavenly! If I were at home, I would have licked the bowl clean! This appetizer was huge (lots of meat) and could easily serve 3 people! We also ordered two glasses of Moscato. The portion was generous and it was chilled to perfection. This Moscato was very tasty! For our entrees, we ordered the tacos (4) and the chimi burrito with carne asada. Our waitress let us know we could order different types of tacos if we wanted to, so we got 2 fish, 1 shrimp, and 1 steak. When the food arrived I was in shock! The portions were huge and the presentation fabulous! The fish and steak tacos were my favorite. The burrito was so big, I could barely finish one half of it. I ended up taking home the other half. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and wanted to try dessert, but didn't have any room for it. Next time, I plan to share an entree so I can save space for dessert! For those complaining about the price, I don't think they are overpriced at all. They use good quality ingredients and are generous with their portions. Everything we ordered had lots of "protein". With the groupon, we spent $40 (tip included). Without the groupon, we would have spent $58+$12 for tip. I don't think $35 per person is unreasonable for a complete meal and alcohol. I definitely plan to return.

My mouth was having a party of it's own here. Starting with the sangria... OMG, so good that you begin to chug it like it's juice, 3 glasses down and I had the famous vacafrita burrito, holy Jesus so good, deff enough for 2 to share, if your nice, then ended the meal with balls to the wall.... Let's just say my mouth, tummy, and mind rolled out if the place like it just visited the food gods. This was my first time coming to the restaurant, I'll be coming back FORSURE!

I'm more in the 4.5 range for Latin House. Went for the first time last weekend, and it was absolutely delicious. The selection of beers is really good as well as their sangria. We had the nachos with chicken as our choice of protein and they were phenomenal. Definitely recommend them as an appetizer. Though I warn you, they are HUGE! I had their burger (American-style). Loved the juiciness in the meat and veggies added. The bacon was alright, however. The "fries" that come with the burger are really good, I think I got a salty batch though. Overall, the meal was very satisfying.

Food is good which is what really counts. The burgers are really good and the fish tacos are just as good. Now for the service. The servers are grata but the kitchen is real SLOW!! Last 2 times I have been here we waited anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. That's just along of time for a burger. Even then they got the order wrong. Pretty crazy. Overall not a bad place.
(4)Ivette R.
Latin House is great but my only complaint is that they masked the food to big but whatever u don't have to eat the whole entire thing I love the burgers
(4)Shavonne R.
Food was ok, I checked this place out because of triple d . I had the white sangrÃa, carné asadas [very stronge onion flavor] , butterfly shimp[ best thing I had at this restaurant] which was sweet and savory and chicken flaton. Chicken lacked flavor. The owner need to place more staff, it took along time for orders to come out and it was obvious that they were under staffed
(3)Annette M.
This place is so fantastic, I can't believe anyone gave it less than five stars! I couldn't believe how fast the food came, the sangria was the bomb! And so was out server Kevin! Kevin has a great sense of humor and great taste in wine. My daughter said they were The best quesadillas she ever had and she has had a lot(I'm not even exaggerating. She almost always orders them if an option.) Our new favorite restaurant! The place has a great atmosphere and such delicious food. And The deserts!! The deserts!! You can't leave here without trying one! So happy to have some new Awesome restaurants in west kendall! Open Mondays and we'll be here every one!

I was so excited to eat at Latin House, from the moment I saw the menu. We decided to finally go on Friday night. As we arrived we were seated promptly by the hostess, that was the highlight of the evening. Actually, the food wasn't bad but, it is really hard to say positive things about the food, when so many other terrible things over shadow it. The waiter was inexperienced, unfamiliar with the menu and specials which we knew about bc of Facebook, and was clueless in general about everything else. When inquiring about the specials, I asked the waiter about the "tomahawk steak", the waiter looked at me like I was crazy, it is actually a special that they offer,very often. I don't know about you, but don't use the word "tomahawk" often in everyday conversation, so it is extremely puzzling to me that our waiter would be so unfamiliar with the menu, and the special. After all the "tomahawk" shenanigans, our waiter finally brought us the specials menu. Yes, he brought us a whopping 1 menu to be shared among 4 adults. Our waiter had no idea how many "pig wings" come to an order or how they were prepared. "4 to 6" he said, there were 3 pig wings. When our food arrived, we asked for ketchup. CRAZY RIGHT??!!?? I know, what we're thinking asking for ketchup at a burger and taco bar!!!! Yeah, bottom line, no ketchup. I understand stand to certain extent that the chef would want to maintain the integrity of the recipes that he puts together but, this is a business, and he is in the business to make money. How can you have a children's menu, serve burgers and fries, and not have ketchup. It's just weird!!!! Chef M, apparently, doesn't provide ketchup bc it has "preservatives". But don't worry, they will provide for your dipping pleasure if you would like, 2 spoons full of BBQ sauce served on a very large appetizer plate. Our table was very cluttered so I asked our waiter if he could just bring a small bowl and he responded by saying "chef m is very particular about the way he serves things, this is the way he wants to serve his BBQ sauce". So, apparently there is this whole plan on how BBQ sauce is going to be served, not ketchup, at a burger place. OK, makes perfect sense. We were never asked about wanting refills or more beers. Our waiter was always lost and never to be found. There are only 2 desserts! Alright, not that big of a deal but, the problem is that the 2 desserts they do have,are practically the same thing. They are both cleverly named deep fried dough, with sweetened condensed milk, one has chocolate in the middle and one doesn't. Yes, I agree, sound delicious, and they were but, how about some diversity. When are dessert arrived we were given forks....?!?!? I asked for a spoon and was told that they had run out. I wonder why they ran out of spoons. Maybe if Chef M wasn't so ridiculous about the way he wants his inexperienced staff to serve, weird BBQ sauce, instead of preservative filled ketchup, even though there are organic alternatives, at a burger place, maybe, there would have been enough spoons for their two deep fried dough desserts. Yes, I know that sentence went on forever but, I want you to know that this negativity is all stemming from the fact that I had such high hopes for Latin House. Last and final nail in the coffin, is when our bill arrived. There was an automatic 18% gratuity added. There were 4 adults and 2 children that didn't eat. Completely, ridiculous!!! I really hope that Chef M gets it together. Apparently he is putting way to much thought on how he is going to present BBQ and not enough time on what is going to keep his business thriving. I love how there is such a discrepancy in the reviews, either people hate this place, or 5 star love it. Maybe they should put more time and effort into making the service better, then begging for good reviews from their friends. Went back in, after a few years, and was still disappointed. Positive was the food was pretty good but, the service was still horrible, and I restaurant was so stuffy and hot, and it wasn't even full. We asked multiple times if they could lower the air and was told it was at its lowest. Food took forever, yes I know everything is made to order not frozen ..... But still way too long. Ordered sweet petals to come with my meal, were finally brought to the table, when I was practically finished with my burger. You would think that maybe they would have taken it off the bill but, nope....
(1)Amanda F.
Excellent!! Red sangria was addicting, it's do delicious that you just want to chug it. 3 glasses down and I ordered the vaca Frita burrito and it was delicious in every way possible. Deff big enough to spit with your loved one. Dad had the popular burger and said it was 1 of the best he's ever had. Mom had the.... I forgot but it was some taco and she loved it. Finished the meal off with balls to the wall dessert.... Do not leave the place without ordering this dessert!!!

I have been craving Mexican food since I left San Diego this past April. After reading all the raving reviews, I came here to give it a shot. I have driven by here plenty of times, but for some reason never realized it was here. The restaurant has an open layout with a sizeable bar area and a few TVs spread out evenly across the bar. Place was lively with a few large parties having a good time. I waited to be seated but after seeing no hostess I just went to the bar. Took a while before I was noticed, even though the bar only had 2 people. I got a menu and it had a lot of great items that I would normally consider, but today I was on a mission for tacos. They had a pretty wide variety of meats you could choose for your 4 tacos (I think about 10 choices). I went with chicken, carne asada, carnitas, and vaca frita. Then I waited, and waited, and waited some more. It took about 40 minutes to bring out 4 tacos, and my server never came around to check on me. Another waitress came by after awhile and asked if I had ordered, then refilled my water. When I finally got my food, I was ready to dig in. The presentation was nice, as each taco had lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and a cilantro cream sauce that was decoratively setup. I tried the chicken taco first, then the vaca frita, next the carnitas, and finally the carne asada. All of the tacos were delicious. My favorites were the chicken and carnitas tacos. They tasted fresh and clean - not like something that was reheated or using substandard ingredients. However, I wouldn't consider this Mexican food. It is a good interpretation and tasty, but it doesn't have the authentic feel or taste. I have been searching for that taste of Mexico I had in San Diego that every taco shop over there has, to no avail. I will have to keep looking. No knock on this place though. I will come back to try some of more of the menu, I would have given 4 stars, but the service was too slow.

Amazing food, and although busy the service was good. Our server informed us the kitchen was busy but we got all our food fairly quickly. Tried the fried cheese squares with yummy guava sauce, the nachos with carne asada and the wings! Definitely a must try.

It's pretty rare for a Food Truck to make it to Brick & Mortar status especially in Miami where you can be the hottest place one day & yesterdays news the next. I was genuinely happy to hear someone succesfully made the leap. I decided to give this place a try after hearing people talk about it & due to a fairly decent Yelp rep. We went on a Friday evening so there was a wait of about 30 mins which is completely understandable & expected when a place is popular. We gave our name to the nice hostess outside & took a seat outside until our name was called. About 25 mins later I heard my name so with empty stomachs & high hopes we went inside. The restaurant has a style of it's own but unfortunately we were seated in the one spot which set the tone for the rest of the evening. If you walk in to the right there are two booths up against the glass, they are super dark as they are the only spots void of any light & pretty far from anything. It almost leaves you feeling like you are an outsider within the restaurant. Our server came by & dropped off some menus & took our drink order. She told me they had Coke but later on I found on the menu that it's a special in house type soda with real sugar instead of HFCS which should be an awesome selling point worth mentioning. No harm done as it was pretty good when I could track my server down & actually get refills. We went with the Asian Pig Ribs app I believe they were called. 2 of them were fall off the bone great as described but one was super tough & overcooked. We mentioned this to our server (when she was around) & she sort of apologized but that was about it. We both ordered our main courses shortly after placing the appetizer order but for some reason the food was taking forever! I understand it's a busy evening but as we watched the other tables being served their dishes in a timely manner it seemed as if ours was forgotten. We couldn't get our servers attention as she was giving all of said attention to a party of 8 nearby who's food was served & completely eaten before ours even came out. Our server stopped by to tell us the app had been comped & the main course should be out any minute now... (15 mins later) we had reached our breaking point. We walked up to the bar counter & asked to speak to a manager & were given a real blah attitude with a lack of urgency. Just then, our server walks out with our food but it's way too late at this point we just want to pay our check, speak to the manager & leave. A manager did eventually come to speak to us & we voiced our reasons for being upset but he too wasn't really that interested. This is where our bad experience was redeemed. The Chef/Owner stepped out from the kitchen area to come see what happened. We explained to him how long we were waiting, how we barely ever saw our server, & he was shocked to hear the manager didn't stop by to apologize for the bad appetizer. He gave his sincere apologies & explained how the staff is going through some growing pains & that he is working on it. I voiced my unhappiness with the area we were sat in & he genuinely appeared to care about improving that section. I can understand his situation where he was always face to face with his customers in the food truck. Now, he is in the back cooking & has to trust his staff to give the level of customer service he would offer. He was very generous with us comping our food & offered us to come back & give his place another shot. He insisted we give the food a try so we took our orders to go. After eating them, we both agreed the food was flavorful & cooked with quality ingredients. I think this place deserves a second chance but I might just go with take out next time so I can avoid the staff until the owner can iron out the kinks in the level of service. What started off as a nice night went bad then was redeemed thanks to an owner who genuinely cares about giving his customers a great dining experience.

After arriving at the restaurant and placing our order we waited more than 45 minutes to have the food brought to the table. When speaking to the manager she advised that the reason for the delay was A: There was a "large" party (party of 8) and B: She has a small kitchen. Yet the restaurant was nowhere near full capacity.The staff looks lost and the manager extremely disrespectful. The food items are not adequately priced; truth be told the food is sub par. I give this restaurant two thumbs down and don't plan going back.

I saw the report that a local tv station gave on this guys and was impressed enough to make the drive from the beach. Yelped it and thanks to Gaby B. I took the chance and confirmed that they are worth it. Tuesday tacos is the best way to introduce yourself into this joint! I had the carnitas, Cabo Wabo fish, Chicken and had to settle for the veggie since they ran out of ribeye, but still delicious. Had the red Sangria, despite not having traditional fruits, it still was impressive enough for two glasses!!Finished it off with their signature balls to the walls dessert. I'm not a sweets person, especially when I had to only settle for four tacos and could have killed four more, but wow for this dessert!!! Oh yes Tuesday tacos are $2 ea. so will be heading back for the savings, cool fun environment. Staff and management were friends and attentive. Buen provecho!!!
(4)Sebas V.
I love this place, only been there twice, had the black and blue burger once and the burrito another time, loved it both times! The portions are huge!!! Almost forgot the nachos are fantastic! Only thing I didn't like my first time there was the di they had, I felt the music was way to loud I like it better when they have a chill laid back day.
(5)Vanessa B.
Amazingggggg! My favorite restaurant everrrr! The service was on point even when busy. I have yet to have something on the menu that I don't like! balls off the wall are my favorite
(5)Dwade C.
Didn't know about this place and accidentally had lunch here today.. Needless to say this was a great accident, very impressed with the food, everything tasted so good. We had the chimi burritos and a rice bowl, mind blowing!! The place itself is very unique.. I highly recommend this place..
(5)Daniel M.
Really Really enjpyed this place. Been waiting forever to pass by and try the burgers and tacos, and finally tried it yesterday. Saw the chef/owner greating and talking to guest and to burgerbeast's family. Looked real friendly and inviting. The restaurant design is decorated as if it should belong in the wynwood area with hanging lights and art painted on the walls. But so glad this is a Kendall gem. I went on Taco Tuesday $2 tacos. I wish I had room to try the mini burgers or an actual burger, but there is always next time. The tacos of chicken lime and carne asada were my favorite. My friend had the fish and said it was great (see pics). One of my favorite taco places now in Miami, if not my favorite! We started off with timba. YUMMMM I wish they served more, but anyways its fried queso blanco with guava sauce for those who don't know. So good and the texture and taste delish! As stated, we had the tacos which were devine! Also had their "award winning" sangria (few glasses) which was also great. And we ended with balls to the wall cake batter covered brownies with sugar powder and leche condesada dipping sauce. AMAZINGBALLS! Will definitely come back and try other menus items like the famous chimi burrito and award winning burgers. A little overpriced fr appetizers/burgers/and tacos but def try to go on a specials night like Tuesdays or Wednesdays (half off apps,wine,etc oh and pork sliders)

Holy Burrito Batman!! So, like many people, we saw the episode of DDD that featured Latin House and since we were going to be in Miami for the day, we knew this was the place we had to try for dinner. Many times you will see food on a show like this or even just a commercial and then you order at the restaurant only to find it looks or tastes nothing like you expected. LUCKILY, that was NOT the case with Latin House. We ordered the Chimi Burrito, the Pig Wings and the Original Burger. Each of them were equally delicious. The Chimi Burrito was ridiculously big! My husband, who can usually eat a small farm animal, had trouble finishing it. Of course that didn't stop us from diving into the Sweedos, which were like little Thai donuts, but with much more flavor. We had ours with ice cream, of course, which made them even more insanely good. Our waiter, who super friendly and helped us make decisions, recommended the "Balls to the Wall" which was the same dessert, only with little chocolate brownies inside. We were afraid that would just put us over the edge. All in all, fantastic food, really great service and nice atmosphere. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the location. But, truly worth the drive!!
(5)Rick P.
Tried this place due to reviews and seeing on Diners Drive in & DivesArrivef at 5:15 PM ordered the special burgers. Burgers finally got to our tsble st 6:13PM barely warm, my burger didn't have the grilled onions or mushrooms that I ordered. Manager deducted the price of my burger, but that still doesn't rescue a horrible experience. I won't be back!!'
(1)Sonia C.
I love this place. I had the pleasure to meet the chef & owner (wonderful person) and went on opening day. The food was incredible & price was right. Definitely letting my friends know about this restaurant. Cant wait to go again soon.
(5)Oscar F.
Awesome burgers but have to agree with everyone else horrible service. Oh...and don't bother ordering online to avoid waiting an hour for 2 burgers because when you get there you come to find out that they don't check for online orders incoming...hire people that focus on there job -_-
(3)Alicia B.
So far everything here is amazing. The lettuce wraps are the best in the world, carne asada and chicken ones yummy. The burgers are phenomenal. This place cooks with amazing flavor and the staff is great. Great lunch spot with a menu that has variety. Beware though the service is a little slow which is why the 4 stars instead of 5
(4)Ivonne D.
By far one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The burgers are the best burgers you will ever have!! Its all in the flavor of the meat. Delicious!! The sangria is awesome too sometimes we buy it in a gallon to drink at home. The nachos and the fondue cheese appetizer is to die for. It's definently not the place to go on a diet but it's the best place for the most delicious burger you will ever have.
(5)Silvia V.
Service is always exceptional, food is amazing, sangria is unbelievable. I have nothing bad to say about Latin House. It's always enjoyable and I always leave satisfied. Definitely five star!
(5)Ralph G.
There is nothing i dont like about this place.. honestl.y, the Mad Love burger is one of the best buirgers ive ever had... their specials are on point - especially on Thursdays when they have the $3 sliders.. its a nice respite from the wallet drain of other local eating spots.. I honetsly have never tried a dish i didnt like.. there were a few service hiccups the first few times i visited (shiortly after opening) but those seem to have been fixed.
(5)Aries R.
Food was really good, well presented as described. Only thing is that you will need to eat it so fast due to the AC blowing over 2k CFM's causing your food to get cold within minutes. Besides that it's good
(4)Erick C.
Had the Frita burger for the 2nd time and it was just as amazing as the 1st time. Also had the desert "balls to the wall" and was perfect to end the lunch. Definitely coming back!
(4)Michelle M.
Loved them when they open. Now so disappointed in the food and the price! They should consider lowering the price and improving in the services
(1)Shawn B.
Burgers were great but took an hour and 15 minutes to get them! Waiter kept saying "Customers don't understand that they're made to order and we get a little backed up during weekends." We don't want to hear that! Burgers were great, customer service and wait times with make me think twice about coming here again.
(2)Alexa C.
The food is amazing here. I have yet to try something that isn't amazing here. The service is great and the ambiance is nice. It's a little pricey but it's worth it!
(5)Faby P.
We used to be regulars back in the pre-baby days. We haven't been back in a while due to the constantly crappy service, particularly the eternal wait for food which doesn't really pair well when dining out with a little one. We decided to try our luck today during lunch and sadly, nothing has changed. We ordered my daughter's food the minute we sat down along with water. Her food came out pretty fast (praise the heavens!), however, the calamari appetizer took about 30 minutes. Side note: calamari appetizer was inedibly horrible. Skimpy, teeny pieces of calamari hidden in thick nuggets of super salty breading... It was pretty disgusting to be completely honest. After not finishing that disastrous joke of a dish we waited another 30 min (an hour total now) for a burrito and 4 measly tacos. It's not like I asked them to bake me a cake. An hour for this kind of dish is unacceptable. There were maybe 10 occupied tables in the whole place and plenty of staff standing around. I have no idea what these people are thinking but it's been what, 2 years since they have been open and they can't get their service game in order? Ridiculous. Get your sh*t together, Latin House. Stamping Guy Fieri's ugly ass face on your door and menus may bring the crowds in but having service that's as good as your food (minus the calamari) is what will keep people coming back.
(2)Vanessa B.
5 STARS! AMAZING food... everything i have tried here is delicious... Ive been here several times... and everytime the service has been great. I love the Cuban muffin top... I love the Sneaky Nachos and i there are NO words for the Chimi Burrito! YUMMO!
(5)T B.
This is my second visit. First visit was amazing and I brought the rest of the family this time. I ordered the American with the 3 cheese and mushrooms the first time. That is what had me coming back to try more. This visit I had the Original with lettuce and was about to revisit the American, when Jayson (waiter) suggested the Elvis (PB&J and bananas burger). I was a little worried at first but................. OMGoodness!!!!!!! Burgers are juicy, fries are amazing. Walked in and was seated immediately both times. Food is a little pricey but I would do it again because it is worth it. I like the 1/4 burger (slider-like) option because it affords me the ability to try more than one burger. Ask for Jayson when you go. Love him (very knowledgeable and attentive). Will be going back soon.
(5)Juliette R.
Alright I've eaten at this place since before they had a restaurant (food trucks) they have best chicken quesadillas & awesome muffin tops (sliders) if your in the mood for chicken or beef and you don't want to spend to much this is the place to be.. Oh the service is great and they also have TVs to watch the game.. It's a great place to go with your friends and family and have a good meal. Oh don't forget to try the nachos they're great
(5)Alain M.
I love this place! Best and I do mean the BEST lettuce wraps I've ever had with Carne asada. Guy Fieri had this place on diners drives dives so you know it has to be good. I've heard the burgers are out of this world too even though I've never tried one. If you're in the area you can't go wrong stopping for lunch or dinner. The decor is very cool with artistic tattoo looking designs on the walls. Service is slow at least during lunch hours.
(4)Robert G.
Over rated...DDD finally let me down! The service was horrible and not only did our food not come out together, it took way too long! The burrito everyone raves about is nothing special, it's more like an overstuffed empanada. You add sweet plantains to anything and it will taste good so I wasn't impressed. Also ordered a burger medium and it came out dry and they forgot the avocado that comes with it. I'd rather go to 5 Guys for a good burger than give this place another chance. hear the tacos are good but after my subpar experience I am certain to never try it as I have many better options where I can expect good service and an efficient kitchen where I won't have to watch my wife eat while I wait for my food. They also need to hire a designer to decorate. I was very excited to finally venture from Brickell to Kendall after watching DDD and was utterly disappointed.
(2)Claire S.
Still looking for really good Mexican in this city, this place is pretty good but I'm going to keep looking. Had the sneaky nachos which had chorizo and they were pretty good. I also had a chimi burrito with ribeye, which was good but it sounded amazing and was just good so I was a little disappointed. Anyway its yummy but a bit on the pricey side for what you get.
(3)Daniella S.
I've been to Latin House a total of four times now and my verdict is always the same - Slightly overpriced, mediocre service and good, not great, food. Your best bet is to go on a week day during happy hour. The place is pretty empty at this time, so you don't have to worry about the endless wait for your check and prices are a little more reasonable. Food wise, I definitely recommend the nachos because whatever protein you decide to add always comes out fresh off the grill, and their muffin top burgers are not only available with a variety of creative toppings, but are also the perfect size. The French comes with brie and honey, and is my personal favorite! Their fries are also worth trying.
(3)Damarys C.
I had several of my Broward friends ask if I had ever been to this place since it's been featured on the food network and other tv shows. I finally tried it and it was great. The only small disappointment was the waiter who wasn't very informed. We ordered a sangria and loved it. It seemed like it had guava so we asked the waiter but he didn't know nor did he inquire. There were a couple of other things we asked that he wasn't sure about either. It was not a big deal breaker since he was nice, but I just expected him to have a little more knowledge about the food. This place is definitely worth a try the food is SPECTACULAR!
(4)Jan N.
Queso Fundido was amazing. And I tried their shrimp tacos - they were seriously delicious! The sauce, the batter... I wouldn't order anything else! So why the drop to three stars, you ask? The service. It's so slow! They really need to work on that. I was hoping that with time the service would improve, but we were just as dissatisfied as we were the first time we came here. It took like 20 minutes to get a side of fries. Seriously? My little one was about the have a meltdown! I also think the prices are a little steep. Other than that, though, the food is good. A little on the heavy side (couldn't eat here too often), but definitely tasty.
(3)Tere F.
Driving past this restaurant, I thought I need to try it. Guy Fiery came and ate here. It must be good. Boy was I wrong. Hostess insisted that we wait at the bar. There were 8 booths open. I threatened to leave, and we got seated. Waiter came fast. We order two quarter pound burgers. It took 50 mins to get our food. The tangles were soggy and disgusting. I asked for fresh ones and the waiter made feel uncomfortable. Questioning my palette. Burger was cold and not juicy for medium. Over all I have had better. If Gordan Ramsey still had his show, this place would be visited and featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Head over to McDonalds. It is cheaper, faster, and tastier.
(1)B G.
Hey, im giving this place 5 stars because when they are on they are ON! I have had some bad things come out of the kitchen from time to time, few over cooked burgers, a few mistakes and such but wow when the execute its on the money. Vaca frita nachos. Period. Eat some.
(5)Oscar C.
Wow!!! I am totally in love with this restaurant!!! The people here are so nice and the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Definitely one of the BEST Latin restaurants I have EVER been to!
(5)Jennifer L.
Tried going back to Latin House after about a year or so. After seeing them on DDD on Food Network I figured it was worth another shot. Latin House Grill did not disappoint. A little warning however, if you are on a diet or looking to eat healthy try avoiding this place. The temptation for the fattier and more delicious foods is rampant! To start we ordered as an appetizer the Pig Wings. They were delicious and seasoned well. And the meat fell right off the bone. I don't normally eat a lot of red meat but couldn't pass up the chance for one of their famous burgers. The best way to go is definitely the muffin top which allows you to select "mini" 1/4 burgers from their selection. I picked the Mexican and French. Both although very different in taste flavor profiles were delicious. The meat was seasoned well and cooked perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh. My boyfriend ordered the Chimi Burrito with the vaca frita. He loved it! The meat (which I had tried on my last visit on top of Nachos) was tender, seasoned well and went perfectly with the ingredients in the burrito. It was a large portion which he was able to take home and heat the next day. He said it was still delicious. For dessert we took the recommendations of other Yelpers and ordered the Balls to the Wall. While great in concept, the whole execution fell flat. The fried dough we burnt in certain places and the chocolate inside so hot you couldn't eat it right away. I also felt that because it was burnt and dry it should have brought more leche condensada on the side. Overall not a bad experience and definitely a place I will add more to the rotation on "cheat meal" days.

I have given this place two chances. Make that three if you count the one time I ordered take out. The first time, the service was slow and the food was average. It had just opened for business and the transition from food truck to restaurant has to be daunting. About two months later, I ordered take out. When I got home, the order was missing all the sides that come with it. Essentially, they forgot to give me half the food I paid for. A call to the manager yielded a promise to "make it up" to me next time if I reminded him. Today, its been over a year. Service is still horrible. There are plenty of employees but most seem to be running around aimlessly. Although there were seven empty tables, we were asked to wait because they did not have sufficient menus to meet the demand. At some point in time, two employees walked into each other resulting in the spillage of a glass of water all over a patron and its subsequent shattering as it hit the floor. The young man who was asked to clean the mess, watched the football game and listened to music through headphones as he attempted to mop the floor. (Note: It is not good business practice to allow employees to wear earphones while working in the service industry.) While our server was quite attentive, she was the exception. She, herself, seemed frustrated with the turn of events. As for the food, I have to agree with other reviews. There seems to be one key spice or ingredient that is used in most of the dishes; thus, the result is the same basic flavor regardless of what you order. And, while I am not positive, I have a suspicion that it contains lots of MSG. This review is not meant to disparage the restaurant but to state facts that may lead constructive changes.

I hadn't tried Latin House Grill because of the mixed reviews. I finally decided to go with my fiancé and we both agreed the food was amazing. We decided to order two different meals to share. We had a frita burger and a chimi burrito with vaca frita. The frita has a delicious guava ketchup and the burrito has plantains that just made it so perfect. Both were so good, I'm wishing I was having some again. They're big portions so sharing is a good idea if you don't want to be overstuffed. The service was great, our orders came out in good time. I'm not sure why so many people have complained so much. Don't let the bad reviews stop you from going, we definitely waited too long to try it.

Got the most expensive thing on the menu. burger beast 18.99 for 1 pound burger.If you cant even cook a burger to medium rare as i requested then your cook sucks nothing more to it. Mentioned it to the waiter he said sorry and thats that. They suck and the kitchen food sucks...
(1)Iliana R.
If you want horrible service, go here ! Don't even know why I have this place a second shot. Had to et up and leave.
(2)Billy B.
Honestly was very suprised, been here when they first opened and the food was much better. The burgers sounded much better in the menu then what they tasted. Ordered a desert and took about 1 1/2 to come out. Very disappointed, used to love their food truck

Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. Chips and guac were on point. My chimi burrito was huge, had it with the ribeye and it was excellent. Didn't have to wait longer either which was a huge plus.

LHG is located in a little shopping plaza on Sunset and 94th, right next to my 2nd love after Misha's cupcakes, Sweetness Bake Shop. So, if you come here, expect to have a very gluttonous dinner/dessert combo (unless, you're the kind of person who can say NO to cupcakes - I'm just not that strong willed.) Anywho, my friend suggested we come here after she saw it featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." I can dig that. Guy F. seems to know what he's talking about. He likes things with a lot of cheese on them, and so do I. He is trustworthy in my book. I ordered the chicken Taqueria Calle Tacos before they let me know that I could mix-n-match em', so I ended up with the chicken, carne asada, pulled pork and breaded fish. Each and every taco was very flavorful and topped with an awesome avocado cream sauce (seemed like a kind of avocado/garlic mayo - YUM). The servers were very attentive and there were a bunch of TV's to catch the Heat game on during dinner.

My boyfriend and I decided to come here because we were craving burgers. We had heard it was good and we knew food network had been there. We began our meal with red sangria... Which was very good!!! Then we moved on to have the queso app which our server suggested. After waiting at least 20mins it came out. It was not what we had expected at all. It was a little bit of ground chorizo covered in a thick blob of cheese. The cheese had no flavor and we couldn't even cut it with a knife it was so thick and solid. Finally we got three mini burgers the original, american and the western. This were less than mediocre coming from a place known for its burgers. The service was ok but we were past up multiple times by our sever to fill our water up. All in all I would not go back. It was quite underwhelming.

My favorite place to go eat and have a few drinks. The Elvis burger is my favorite. Perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly. And the sweet plantain sets it off. All their food is great. Chef M knows what he's doing. The biggest problem is the amount of money I spend since I always end up eating and drinking so much! Keep up the good work guys!
(5)Memi C.
This restaurant actually deserves no stars , so disappointed with the service , came here with a party of 20 for my birthday , the hostess was very rude and asked us to leave . At the bar we asked to be served drinks while we wait and no one wanted to help us , This is very sad because the food in this restaurant is the best , but their customer service by the hostess was a nightmare . Our server was actually nice , the food was as always delicious . Overall I'm gonna think twice before visiting this restaurant again !
(1)Stacey M.
Great food. I had a shrimp burrito with plantains and it was great. Service was quick. Cool vibe with beautiful paintings on the walls. Definitely worth checking out.
(4)Juan G.
Best Burger in Miami hands down , what flavors !!! What flavors , for the meat ,cheeses , sauce and presentation. Spaghetti potatoes are fine but too much for the plate . Service was good , very nice , polite and cordial young person .
(4)Todd O.
Second time I have been here and the service speed is terrible! This place needs to hire someone who knows how to run a restaurant. Food is good but the hour wait for my meal is crazy. Watched two tables that showed up 20 mins after I ordered get their food before we did. Sorry but no more of my business for Latin house.
(2)Andrea A.
I usually would have given this place a 4 stars because the food is remarkable. But the service isn't so great. And the guy manager (on two occasions) were not paying attention to our needs. 5 minutes before being greeted but the food was great !!!!!
(3)Jessica P.
The food here was pretty good. I like that you can order taco with different proteins to be able to try more variety. The food took a little longer than I would have liked. The waiter kept coming back to tell us it will be out shortly. My friend asked for a lemon for his water at least 3 times... The lemon never came.
(3)Romy V.
Love this place and their nachos! They have amazing food and a great waiter named Steven Mandri--he's the nicest most attentive staff member, I definitely recommend asking to be sat in his section.
(5)Joaquin R.
Food was okay. The Original Burger was okay as well as the Chimi Burrito. The Balls to the Walls Dessert was good. Pricing: The food was absolutely overpriced. My wife and I ordered two main dish and a dessert and it came out to $47. We didn't even order appetizers or drinks. Service: The server was great. However, the wait time for the food was horrendous. My wife and I sat down and ordered at 515pm. We didn't leave LHG until 640pm. I was shocked it took that long since we only ordered 3 menu items. Decor was nice If LHG truly wants to have success long term, they will need to solve their food pricing and the wait time for your food orders.
(1)Jorge F.
Straight fire! First time here. I had the Chimi burrito with fire shrimp. It was amazing! We also ordered the chicken Sneaky nachos for appetizer. These were also amazing. We tried several main events. They have a great selection of draft beers. Now for dessert, we had Balls to the wall, and we also had these little balls filled with condensed milk and cheese, they weren't the cheesecake bites, but I can't remember... These were also amazing!
(5)Patrick C.
What a Shame!!! Amazing food, amazingly BAD service! To start, we waited for over 30 minutes with empty tables everywhere. When we finally got seated, there were uncleared tables all around us...so gross...that stayed uncleared for most of our meal, while tons of people were waiting! Three different times servers brought food that wasn't ours to the table...three times...we thought we were getting punked. The floors are sticky and slippery at the same time (how is that possible?), and the tables are shorter than the booths....uh...what?? So wierd. To top it all off, it was Fathers Day, I was with my wife and daughters, and not one employee said Happy Fathers Day??!!?? The entire front of house staff were kids with absolutely no clue. If ever a restaurant needed a FOH Manager, its this one. Such a shame, the chef has chops, but theres just too many great eats in Miami (that actually care about service) to waste your time and money here. Great food, I mean, really great, but I will never go back.
(2)Daniel R.
Wow what can i say, chimi burrito is the best burrito in miami, the ambiance is nice and service is great. Everything on the menu looks so good, my dads sangria was the bomb, the chicken and pork have a unique taste to it, really recommend for dinner, awesome experience and will be coming back
(5)Idelsis A.
OMG is an understatement! Best burgers in town! The original burger with an egg on top was delish as so was the French burger. My little one had the chicken chuncks which were so yummy!
(5)Aldo G.
My taste buds had forgotten just how good the food was at this place. I had the two sliders for the price of one burger. I choose to do the cuban and the traditional. Both were good but the Original was phenomenal. One of the best burgers I have ever had. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anybody else.
(4)Tania G.
DISCLAIMER: when I wrote my last review for Latin House I was pregnant. So I may have been a little moodier than usual, BUT, I still stand by my sauce on a spoon issue. Anyway, this visit was just what I needed to bump them back up to the 5 stars I KNOW they deserve. Let me make one thing clear, the food here NEVER lacks anything. That being said, the sneaky nachos were DELICIOUS. The muffin tops, as per usual, were also DELICIOUS. They seem to have worked out the quirks on the service end, which is great. P.S. Once a stalker, always a stalker!
(5)John C.
I like the burger and I like the tacos I come every once in a while for something a little different They have a great beer selection.
(3)Jamie S.
Not only was the food delish, the service was excellent at Latin House. We had the sneaky nachos with vaca frita. YUM! I had the Original Mad Love burger which had three cheeses, bacon and avocado-lime sauce...OMG. So good! I couldn't even finish it, it was huge! Decor was cool but I will say though, the place is a little pricey. Aside from that, no complaints.
(4)Jessica P.
I would give them 4 stars but their service is terrible and the good prices have gone up like crazy!! I've been their a few times and I absolutely love their appetizer for quesadilla's and the chimiburrito! The lettuce tacos are amazing as well but the service their is horrible! They take for ever to sit you, then forever to attend you. I even tried pick up and there was one employee (I think she was even a manager) just on the computer. She didn't acknowledge me or even try to help when I said "excuse me" she just ignored me. I really felt like leaving but my food was paid for.
(3)Natassia M.
I've been here a few times for lunch with coworkers and I'd have to say this restaurant is completely overrated. The food is good but not great... I always order the skinny nachos with chicken but it's never consistent. Some times the condiments are not even so I end up with only nacho cheese, chips and some chicken the other time the portion was a lot smaller. The service here is not great. I can't say it's bad because there has been a time that I've had good service but for the most part the servers are uninterested in the customers. They take ages to take your order and are generally not pleasant. Once, I had a waiter just throw the menus on the table and walk away. I don't ever choose to come here... I'm usually dragged by a coworker. I'd probably be more inclined to come if the service was better.
(2)Niniva S.
First time, the food is good, the sangria of the chart, and the service was excellent, economical enough to make it a most visit. The only improvement I would suggest is the tables need replacement.
(3)Guelsy D.
Nice new place for lunch. Sangria is a must! (It's award winning). Sneaky nachos were my favorite. Anything with vaca frita is amazing!!!! Service was on point!
(4)Michelle D.
LHG adore your food but the service has to improve :-( Hostess needs to do a better job at accommodating guests and servers don't seem to last which doesn't seem to be a good sign on the management. Service has been slower than I'd expect on numerous occasions but the food and sangria keep me coming back. Five stars when service changes :)
(3)Jesse L.
Never fails. All visits to LHG are always excellent. Had the nachos with vaca frita. Deeeeeeelicious. Tried the Mad Love burger with avocados and it was awesome. I did notice that they have a bigger craft beer selection. Had 3 different kinds that were pretty good. As for desert. Its a must you try Balls to the Walls with condense milk. Yuuuuuuummy. Would defenitely recommend.
(5)Nydia M.
After hearing about this place for about a year, I finally decided to give it a try. The biggest complaint i heard about Latin House is the slow service. I figured coming in on a Wednesday afternoon would help me avoid that problem...boy was I wrong! We ordered tacos since Wednesday is all - you - can - eat taco day for $12. I had 3 carnitas tacos and 3 of some other meat I can't remember right now. They were delicious! Very good flavor and texture. I could have had a dozen of each. Well, not really, but they were great. The problem? They took about an hour to arrive at our table while the restaurant was 95% empty. And then when someone at my table ordered another bunch of tacos, those were served in under 5 minutes. It made no sense. It feels like they make you wait on purpose. Problem is, people like me only wait like that once. Sorry, Latin House. Miami is full of restaurants with food just as good, but with much better service. I really hope they fix this HUGE problem before it's too late.
(2)Alexa I.
While vacationing in Miami I wanted to try the restaurant because of Guy Fieri's show and it was great! We all shared the sneaky nachos with crane asada and were licking our fingers clean! I had the chuchi bowl of rice which was full of flavor and spiciness! Everyone else with me got the chimi burritos with different proteins in it. A great feature of this place is that u can choose your meat/fish/shrimp that u want added to your dish. We then tried the balls to the wall dessert which was fried brownies in funnel cake. I would recommend everything we had and I would go back soon! Our waiter was excellent and made helpful suggestions!
(4)Dale W.
Good food, cold local craft beer, fast and friendly service. Definitely going to be a regular spot for me.
(5)L P.
We first went to Latin House because it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Our first time there was good - burgers were delicious and cooked well. We have been back there twice since and will not go again. The second and third visits, our burgers simply didn't taste as good and they were overcooked. The last visit, the servers broke one of our cardinal rules - they served the main course before we finished our appetizer. On top of that, my wife's burger, ordered medium rare, came out well done. A restaurant that prides itself on its burgers shouldn't make that mistake. Not worth it, especially if you don't live in Kendall.
(3)Emma R.
Perfect burgers and Fries and comfortable tables and chairs:) and this is what i cant tell about the personnel! they deserve no stars at all. This is a reason I am giving three stars instead of four ;(
(3)Tiffany R.
This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Food is to die for! Such a fresh and great taste to every dish. As soon as you step foot inside you can tell you will be in for a treat. From the smell to the taste, everything was great. AND, our experience in the restaurant Saturday put the icing on the cake! Our server Jonathan was a very nice young man. He was very polite and patient yet very quick. My family and I were able to understand the menu thoroughly due to the time he took to explain the dishes and history of the restaurant. His suggestions were phenomenal, never did I have to ask for refill or napkin. Once a waitress, it is very rare for me to come across young people who care. If I could recommend my top 3 things about Latin House they would be: Chimmi burrito Red sangria Jonathan Again food was great. Service was great. Will be back soon.
(5)Chris A.
This place has some of the best food in Miami. Every time I visit I order something different. I've made my way through a little over half the menu and everything so far has been above average or the best I've ever had. Balls to the Wall is the best dessert I've ever had vouched by a few friends on separate visits. Other stand out items is the Pig Wings and Burrito. Haven't had Lobster lollipops since the seem to be out every time I visit. I'm not happy about some the reviews some people give this place simply cause they weren't treated like Queen Elizabeth when they walked in. Fuck them..
(5)Dianne T.
Went there because Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives went there. Decided to splurge and get the lobster appetizer. It was awful. Chewy, tasteless and way overpriced for four pieces of fried lobster. My friends however, had a great lunch with the Cuban burger and the grilled burrito. The service was excellent.
(2)Julie M.
I am a fan of this place because their shrimp tacos are AH-MAZING! MY NOTES: The guacamole is always fresh. On a few occasions, the chips have been stale. Happy hour specials are your best bet, as most dishes are priced above $10.00, even appetizers. The burgers are delicious! The menu is VERY creative. The staff is friendly. They have a private area that you can rent.
(4)James C.
Outstanding !! Another Guy Fieri food network joint yes he was here !! I see it on the tv show. I go try it out for myself but this place of the Hook !! Interesting decor , decent service, reasonable prices and food like no other place that I have been too before. We had for appetizer the Fire Roasted Shrimp very different and I had for my main course "The Chimi Burrito, as shown on Triple D... I have no idea how they make it but I could not stop eating and it was Huge but I still could not get enough !! All their plates is topped off with a little homemade lime avocado sauce, that just seems to put the icing on the cake. I will return to the Latin House Grill very soon to dive my taste buds into one of their Triple D off the hook Burgers. Don't forget to order a plate of their Tangled Love Fries you will get hooked !! This place is Hot and on Fire !!
(5)Carlos J.
All I have to say is it lived up to all the hype. The food was amazing...the nachos with vaca frita, the chimi burrito, topped off with balls to the wall. Well definitely be back. Owner was super welcoming, came by or take twice to ensure everything was going well. The server was great. To sum it up it was a great experience.
(5)Christina O.
This place was yummy!!!! The chicken nachos were on point and def a good deal for $10!
(4)Gaby S.
Where have you been all my life? So i guess this place was a food truck and they finally opened up a restaurant on Sunset. Let me start off by saying that the two times ive come here the restaurant has been busy. Great service and there hasnt really been a wait time or any issues the times that ive been here. The firecracker shrimp appetizer is delicious. Shrimp is a little on the spicy side but complemented very well with marinated lime shredded lettuce and carrots. I havent tried the burgers (will update when i do) but the chimi burrito is out of this world. Even the meat inside is marinated very well and cooked to perfection, its really big so split with a friend if you'd like!
(5)Tiffanie M.
Let me start off by saying the food at Latin house is very good. Unfortunately, the service is awful. I went to Latin house when they first opened as I was a fan of the food truck. The food was very good, but it took my wife and I about an hour and a half to get our food. I overlooked the horrible service on this occasion because the restaurant had just opened and probably needed some time to iron out some issues. My husband and I returned two months later. Again, the food was good. Again we waited close to two hours after being seated to get our food. We hoped that it was just a bad day. Perhaps one...or four cooks called out sick that day. We returned again today with our ten month old son. We arrived at 7:45...we're seated at 8:15.. and we're finally served at 10:00. Our son had given up on the night long ago. On a separate note, this was after we ordered sweet potato peels which appetizer was served to another table that had been seated 10 minutes after our table of five. We were told twenty minutes later that there were no sweet potato peels left. The same table was served their meal prior to us. We were told by our waitress that the smaller tables are often served first. After complaining of the service, we were "gratiously" offered a complementary round of drinks. However, not the drinks we already ordered for the last two hours.. but a future round of drinks. Obviously we declined and left. This place could have a bright future if they ever get their act together; however, service like this will only serve to push even the most passionate of fans away. Three strikes was enough for us and I I know we aren't the only ones.
(1)Robert S.
Ordered the burrito for pick-up. Took 55 minutes to fulfill the order and the restaurant was not even at half capacity. I mean, staff on their phones as customers wait to pick up their orders. The wait would have been tolerable if the burrito actually lived up to the description and contained all the ingredients stated within the menu. Very disappointed in both the service and product.
(1)Helena C.
WOW!!! Totally unexpected. PHENOMENAL EATS! From the queso to the pork wings and the BURGERS OMG!!! And Balls to the Wall... well that was a religious experience. Our 1st time will not be our last.
(5)Anthony Q.
Very upset the fact it was advertised that Latin house grill was cooking up ostrich burgers from thurs - mon but when I asked the chef and waitress looked at me as if I was crazy. The only good thing there was the service the waitress gave me and tipped her greatly. Over all poor/ misleading advertisement not even the pines one had it. I will not be coming back here again anytime soon.
(1)Marilis M.
Excelent cuban food, the service also very good, very good choice for when you dont want to cook at home, the price for the food is good but the desserts are a bit pricey, generally I recommend this place
(4)Ashley S.
Underwhelming. Lobster "lollipops" are fine, but nothing to rave about. Service was absent. Like we rarely saw our sever.
(3)Alexandra M.
This place may be one of the most overrated restaurants in Miami. I mean, the burgers are delicious and they serve wine and everything, but the service leaves sooo much to be desired. I loved this place when it was a food truck and I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for a glass of water. So we waited 15 minutes for a glass of water (I hate that. Is it obvious?) and that was ok. I mean it sucks but whatever. I asked the waiter if they serve sliders, and he said yes. They do serve sliders (the Frita I had was amaze), but they serve ONE slider. Note to self and others reading this: order a 1/4 pound burger next time instead. The server was talking to a lady at the table next to us and instead of putting his carafe of water on that table, he plopped it right in the middle of ours and turned to help her. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's being attentive, but really? We're eating, bub. Sometimes, no matter how great the food is somewhere, if the service sucks, that's all you remember.
(2)Alex C.
Let me start by saying... I've followed LHG for a long time now, dating back to when their food truck first started, and as much as it pains me to say it... It sucks now. No, not the food. The food is great... but there is no food that is above service and this place undoubtedly has the worst service in Miami. I wish I could say it's a one time thing but it's not. I have given them 4 different chances and have gone back every time, thinking that maybe they were having an off day. Every time i have gone back the service has been worse than the last time... and i know at least 10 people that have told me that they will not be going back because their service is so bad. And it's not just the kitchen, which is amazingly slow. It's everything. Every time I have gone and ordered any drink that isnt water, it's taken them 10-15 minutes to put the drink in a glass and bring it to me. I can handle waiting for food all day if I have a nice, cold beer in front of me but they cannot even make that happen. Really sad to see this place go to where it's gotten but it is what it is and i wont be going back. There's too much good food to be wasting time with this poorly run restaurant.
(1)R I.
Visited the Pembroke Pines location, it's always pretty empty when I go but the food is always good and tastes fresh. Only complaint I have is that they took the chips off from the menu and replaced them with regular fries and I think their menu is a little over priced for the portions and type of food they serve.
(4)Rinel Alexander L.
Best food around and if you pick the right time!! No waiting!! Try the mango habanero sauce! But it's not for the faint of heart!!! The burghers are absolutely amazing and the burrito also! And for the big boys... That tomahawk!!!!
(5)Karla S.
My husband had been asking for a while to go to this place and I finally caved (I don't much care for burgers or overly unhealthy foods) Much to my surprise they had a healthy menu option, which I was thrilled about. I chose the $15 carne asada, which turned out to be the worst idea ever. It was 3 strips of pure rubber with some green leafs on the side. It was beyond awful. I asked if they had some hot sauce, or something I could dip it in.. and they said "sure! but we have to charge you extra for it" You serve me garbage and then you charge me for your mango-habanero sauce? I flat out hate this place. Unless you are looking for strictly fried and over the top unhealthy food, do not come here. Do NOT offer a healthy menu if you will massacre the whole thing. La Fogata does carne asada for significantly less and much better. Seriously, even Fritanga Monimbo's carne asada beats the crap out of that disgustingly charred flap of meat. Give me a break. My husband ate his burger just fine. However, he eats most burgers just fine. Says nothing about this atrocity of a restaurant. PS: Felt the need to add that this place is REALLY overpriced for the type of food it is and to make matters worse they charge you for anything and everything!!! If they could charge you for the air you breathe inside their establishment they would. For that money, I rather hit up Shake Shack.
(2)Jules V.
AMAZING!!!!! Chimi burrito is to die for and the sheer size and portion is... Well it's huge. I can never eat it all, which is great because I can take the rest home to enjoy it again as leftovers ;) great service and speedy. They have a nice vibe on their menu of tex mex but with a flare. Try it.
(5)Alexis S.
Food is awesome! So much to chose from. There sauces are to die! I've gone a few times and sometimes service is good and others not so good. I always return for their balls to the wall desert! Thumbs up!
(4)Megan A.
It's aite. No fries but more like house chips. Not bad. They're freshly made but nothing outstanding. Burger was supposed to be beef but tasted like chorizo. The grilled flatton was ok With decor and good flavor it feels like you're eating at a food truck. Not worth the restaurant prices or restaurant wait. Both times that we've been here we have been told that the kitchen was behind/running out of food. The place isn't large enough for that. Spend your money somewhere else. Best thing there is the chimi burrito. It's actually very good but not something id have regularly. Service isn't bad but it's not very professional. We were told by the hostess who looked like she was just hanging out that we'd wait 20-25. It was closer to an hour. There were several empty tables but they say the kitchen is too behind. The place is still being run like a food truck.
(2)Farah G.
Food is very good. Burgers are delicious. Street tacos are real good. Services lacks though and get ready to wait if you go on a weekend.
(4)Donald T.
I went to Latin House at lunch time on a Saturday, and left with mixed feelings about the place. When I walked in, I noticed a sign reading, "Wait to be seated." The restaurant was almost empty, so I expected to be seated right away. I waited, and waited.... There were three staff members fooling with something at the cash register, and I waited... fooled with my phone, and waited... finally someone walked over with a menu. After being seated, I ordered an iced tea and perused the menu. Some of the classics from the Latin House Grill food truck were on the menu, but since I was familiar with them I elected to order "new" items. I ordered Crab and Corn Chowder in a bread bowl, Pig Wings and a combination appetizer that was "[something] shrimp and chunks." The iced tea arrived, and I gave the waiter my order, "checked in" and sipped some tea. Oops! Evidently "iced tea" here meant some sweetened concoction. I wish I'd been so informed ahead of time. I read numerous complaints online about the wait time for food, and indeed read a notice in the restaurant that all food was cooked to order and that takes time, but my food came out in a reasonable time. In fact, I asked for the chowder to come first, which it did, but the other items piled up before I got far into the chowder. The first flavor note on the chowder was the cilantro sprinkled on top. It was creamy, spicy and tasty, but didn't have much crab or corn noticeable in it. There was perhap a total of two tablespoons of solids. Perhaps a novice in the kitchen did not ladle it from the bottom of the pot? The shrimp and "chunks" was next. The chunks were tidbits of very tender grilled steak, with some accents of grilled threads of onion. This is a pretty mild dish, so if there is a spice-phobe in the group, it would be a good choice. The shrimp were either steamed or lightly sauteed, and were covered with a sauce reminiscent of Chinese restaurant sweet and sour sauce. It was reddish with bits of what I think was sweet red pepper. Pleasant, but not exciting. Separating the shrimp and steak was some lightly pickled shredded cabbage, and some slices of carrot and onion that were also pickled. A clean, fresh foil to the sauced and meaty tastes. Next were the pig wings! I've been seeing this cut of pork showing up around town. It's a new promotion of the rear-leg shank. It's a single bone about 4-5 inches long. The Latin House take on this is very tender on the inside (perhaps braised first?), and very crispy on the outside and sauced with an asian-style sauce that mostly tastes like hoisin sauce. I liked them, and my wife LOVED them. One order is three of them on top of a mountain of the house "Tangled Potatos" which are deep-fried spiral-cut potatoes. The potatos stayed crispy for a long time, surprisingly. The two appetizers plus soup and iced tea came to $37.50 with tax. Add a tip, and you're at $45.00. This was more food than I wanted for lunch, because a big dinner was in the offing, so I asked the waiter to pack up the two wings and the leftover shrimp to go. What I got for that request was a styrofoam box dumped on the table. That was a first for me. Maneuvering stuff into the box without serving utensils was annoying. I'll return to try some other menu items, but I left annoyed at the delay to be seated in an empty house, the sequencing of the food, the take-home incident, and either stinginess in the chowder or incompetent serving of it. Not to mention the iced tea. Every one of these was, or might have been, due to the wait staff.
(3)Carlos R.
Delicious Cuban burger. Beef tastes high quality. Good beer selection and the coca cola is excellent
(4)Ana M.
I totally retract what I had said about Latin House before. I went back because it's close and convenient. We were seated in the right hand side of the restaurant toward the back where they have nice booths, which is a nice little spot. This time, I ordered one Western muffin top and the lobster bisque. The burger was a lot better this time around. Just like I remembered it being from the food truck. It was juicy, flavorful and just excellent. Nothing like the experience I had last time. The tangled potatoes were good. Not my style usually but still very good. The lobster bisque was BOMB. It comes in a bread bowl and it was just great. We ended up getting dessert, too. We ordered the fried donuts with the condensed milk inside and they were great. One thing I loved was that we had been drinking beer and wine with our meal (Yeah, I had a beer and a soup. Don't judge me.) and when we ordered dessert, our server brought us all waters. That was really thoughtful and I wish it was done at more restaurants. The dessert was great. My friend ordered the Original burger and ate half of it, because that thing is the size of a plate and I took the other half home. Now, burgers and fries are the kind of thing that really don't keep very well as leftovers, but I microwaved it for a minute or 2 and that thing was DELICIOUS. I usually get the muffin tops because the burger is just so big, but it is so worth it. The cheeses, the bacon, the juicy meat. It might be one of the best burgers in Miami and this was a day old, refrigerated, and microwaved. I will definitely order that next time.

I just visited the restaurant for the first time for lunch today. Things were so delicious back when there was a food truck, but wowie wow. The place looks great! I can definitely see myself coming back, possibly for $2 tacos on Tuesdays with some friends...... and also because I want to try all the beers! I had the puffly flatton with cabo wabo fish. Grilled onions, mushrooms, melty CHEEEEEESE... Oh. mah. gah. The reason why I didn't write my review immediately after eating there is because I was basically comatose when I got home. Siesta to the max. I was so deliciously stuffed that I just HAD to take a nap. Oooh! As per the server's suggestion, I also had their guacamole. Delicious! It tasted so fresh! Hints of lime, lots of cilantro, chunks of tomato and onion.... it was honestly the best guac ever, and I thank the server endlessly for suggesting it as an appetizer. Man. I'm having flashbacks to the yumminess now. I may have to make this flatton-and-guac-induced nap a regular thing. Excellent, extremely friendly service with lots of spot-on suggestions.... I'll be back again and again and again, no doubt!

Asked for the fried cheese filled with guava which was $6.99. We were very excited about it. When the plate came it only had 5 small cubes of cheese and it was not filled with guava, it had a guava sauce next to it for dipping. A very disappointing dish and over priced for the portion size. The original burger was good, a bit greasy for my taste. My fiancé had the tacos and they weren't bad, we've had better. He asked for an extra side of fries and what he got was homemade potato chips which weren't that good. Over all the experience wasn't great. We had been wanting to go to this place and left very disappointed. Don't think we will be going back.

Went with a large group and was impressed by all the food. The servings are huge and packed with flavor. The Vaca frita nachos are certainly a must have and the beer selection was pretty strong. This is a worthy stop if you're hungry in the southwest Miami area.

Burger topped with egg? Yes please!!! It was super good. Balls to the walls dessert?? O.M.G!!! Seriously it's worth a visit to Latin House just for this dessert. The food does kind of take a while to come out but that's how you know it's fresh. The employees are a hit or miss. First time we had a female server...she was not very pleasant. The other time we came we had a male server...kinda chubby guy. He was great and super nice. Latin house..you rock.

SO EFFIN' GOOD! One of the most amazing burgers I have tried yet. I tried the MadLove Original Burger and talk about an orgasm in your mouth! Big, juicy, flavorful burger and that bacon- oh that bacon was do delicious! The combination of everything together made it something to be remembered and desired over and over again. Their Tangled Love Fries, super cute name but not the biggest fan. I think it's something to get used to...? I love to be able to dip my fries in ketchup or something other dip and with Tangled Love, you can't do that. It's a shame but it still adds something to the plating. The service was wonderful and even on a weekday lunch hour this place was pretty packed. Any single ladies out there? Do yourself a favor and come here for lunch hour. It seems that the fellas (In packs...think Jacob and his pack from Twilight... only I can't guarantee that level of hotness) like to get their burger on and I assume there's a whole lot more where that came from!

We came here on a Sunday because my boyfriend was craving a burger, although I am not your absolute burger lover, I decided to have a burger today. The menus is pretty detailed and we both got the 'Original Burger' we went with the half pound because the waiter advised that the quarter pound would've been the size of a kids burger. I asked the waiter who was very nice if it came with "Fries", and she said yes. Well, the burger was HUGE my boyfriend and I could've shared it, we only ate half. The burgers were delicious but too big, and too greasy for my choice. The burgers do not come with FRENCH FRIES, they come with potato chips and that was very disappointing because I love french fries, and I believe all good burgers should be paired with delicious fries. If you want a nice, huge, juicy burger then this is your place. I only gave 4 stars because I felt that I didn't get informed well enough on what I was getting and too big of a burger. All around pretty good and nice place.

Dislike. No recommend it.

Tonight the Masitas with carne asada was excellent! Love this place. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

I tried this place out with my wife and kids on a Saturday afternoon (8/22/15) for lunch and we literally could not wait to get out of there. The first thing that struck us about the menu were the elevated prices. I wouldn't call it expensive, but definitely more than you would expect for this type of food. Maybe the prices are OK for South Beach or Brickell, but this is the middle of Kendall. We ordered four soft drinks and the tortilla chips with pico (chopped tomatoes & onions) while we decided on our food and accepted the server's offer of melted cheese (extra charge). When they arrived, it was not only obvious that the chips had come out of a bag (surely a cheap, generic brand from a big-box store), but that they were beyond stale. The "cheese sauce" was disgusting and made the crap they give you with movie theater nachos seem like a delicacy. We quickly decided not to take a chance with any of the main dishes, especially at these prices, and politely let our server know what we thought and asked for our check. You'd think she would only charge us for the soft drinks and leave the chips off the bill (especially since we left the basket untouched, except for the two chips we tasted) but were instead presented with an $18 check. I dropped a $20 on the table and left, greatful that the experience didn't run up to more than $100, which would've been the case if we had ordered four full meals. I would definitely not recommend this place.
(1)Armando P.
AWESOME CUISINE! Few come close! We love it and highly reccomend it to our family, friends and wonderful clients.
(5)Felipe Z.
So you like comfort food from all over Latin America? This is your place! Great ambiance to hang with buddies and like I said its comfort food so prepare to pig out. On my recent visits I've had the nachos to start and later the original burger. These two items definitely sent me feeling 20 lbs heavier but well worth it. lol Some folks have room for dessert, if so the Timba is absolutely delicious (a must!) Interesting menu lineup, great concept hope this place sticks around for a long time.
(4)Danelia N.
I gotta say, this place is the best if you have no eaten anything all day. The portions are gigantic! Wasnt too happy with the chimi burrito since it just was over stuffed with soo much ingredients that i couldnt really enjoy the flavor for what it worth..its almost like "too much" food to the point that it grosses you out a bit. Ill have to try something else next time since this place does offer a variety of foods. On a good note, the Calamari was great! Perfect portion for 2 people and the taste was delicious. Loved the 2 homemade sauces that came with it. Be prepared to wait since there is limited number of seating and the food also takes a while since everything is made from scratch.
(4)Alex R.
The good: Ordered the Muffin Top 1/4 burgers all burgers were delicious , the Frita was the $&@! And best we tried, the Mexican was , we also got the western and the champ which were good as well, everything we was great. Our server was great, not complaints anywhere. Can't wait to come back The bad: I got too full too quickly and couldn't keep eating
(5)Greyceli M.
Been here so many times might as well tell you why I've been here so many times. There's a reason Latin House won last year's Burger Brawl. I always order the French burger. It brings melted Brie cheese, sliced almonds, and organic honey. One time I ordered the quarter pounder because I was watching my weight but it was the biggest mistake of my life and I've made up for it by now. At first I wasn't a fan of the chips for fries but eventually they grew on me and now I don't leave a single one behind.
(5)Michelle S.
This place had a great menu and the food was amazing but the wait was WAYYYYYY too long!! If the wait was not bad I would give 5 stars but the I was in there for longer than 1.5 hours and it wasn't even that full.
(3)Michael P.
came here because of a friends birthday and probably would have never ever found it or decided to stop by if it was not for that. They gave the table some nachos that were very very good, but the burrito we ordered looked good on the menu but in reality, it really needed some vegetables, actually every plate really needed some greens or reds or something fresh because everything was quite overpowered by salty and fried flavors. You just get that feeling like you consumed really fatty stuff and i personally don like that feeling. The service was alright and they kind of rushed us out at the end. so meh
(3)Melanie U.
I have been wanting go eat here ever since I moved into the neighborhood and wow is this place absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 3pm on a weekday so it was pretty empty. Our server, Blaze, was really friendly and helpful when explaining the menu, he really knew his stuff. My bf went for the chimi burrito which had so much stuff but all I remember is seeing sweet plantains in there! So yummy and well made. I got the Puffy Flatton which was like an XL Chalupa but way better tasting with fresher ingredients. He had vaca frita in his meal and I had carnitas and both were cooked to perfection. The prices are fine for what you're getting, a delicious and well crafted meal! My bf is difficult when it comes to leaving servers a tip but he was more than generous this time around, such excellent service! We both left stuffed and will definitely return.

This restaurant is confused. It doesn't know if it's Mexican, American, Caribbean, or what. I wish they'd pick one and do it well, instead of trying to do them all and failing miserably. Whatever you do don't get anything with cheese. There's a queso fundido that hardens 5 minutes after it arrives at the table, looking like something I'd use to plug a flat tire. The only way you can get at the cheese rubber is by putting your tortilla chip through a one inch layer of grease floating on the top like an ominous warning of what's about to happen to your intestines. My husband always gets the burgers, and having tried them I can confidently say that there are many other tastier burgers in South Florida. So I order some chicken tacos thinking that it's simple enough. Again, the cheese. It glued all the chicken together to make a mass of chicken that was inedible. The service is great, atmosphere lively with the street art and graffiti murals painted everywhere. Also not that loud, which I appreciate. I really don't see what the big deal is about this restaurant. There are better places to eat and while it's convenient I will avoid it in the future.
(2)A. S.
I LOVE the food here, BUT... The hostess at the door will tell you that its a 45 minute wait when its actually more lime 20mins. And then when you get inside yoi notice a ridiculous amount of empty booths! They tell you that they make you wait outside because the kitchen is backed up. Honestly...as a paying customer who thoroughly enjoys rhe food here, I would much rather wait the 20-45mins INDOORS! Its summertime in Florida. Mosquitos and heat do not do not make for a happy customers. I still LOVE the food tho!!
(4)Jewel C.
One of those nicest place here in Miami that serves great great food. The one that appealed to me the most was the Queso Fondue. The taste was one of the kind, I've never tried anything like this before. And I am very surprised that I like the taste of it after the first bite. They also got massively good tasting Elvis Burgers, one of the most tasty burger that I had in my life. This is a burger that you can only have here in Miami so I would never miss this one if I were you. Great fun place. Will dine again.
(4)Giannina G.
The food is ok. My boyfriend and I both had burgers, nothing special... we've had better ones and for a better price
(3)Keith P.
This place has been open for about a year, and they already won The Burger Brawl !!!!! ***Beating top restaurants like Swine OTC Pincho Factory blah blah blah!!!! That is an incredible feat in itself ! ! ! Anyways, I came here for dinner with a friend yesterday and had one of their burgers (not sure of the name-- it was the one that won the Burger Brawl) it had crystallized jalapenos on it and was meaty-- completely delicious. It could have been more savory, but the combination of topping was delicious. Aside from this, it came with a side of French fries that were shaped like ribbons, and although they could have had more crunch, the silky texture of it was divine. Next time I come here (and yes, I am planning my next visit) I will order a burger. You can get two 1/4 pound patties for the price of 1/2 burger. I heard the Elvis is pretty good, although I am not sure about the peanut butter and jelly toppings. Can't wait till my next visit. Thank you servers for your hospitality!
(4)Lissete D.
Pack your patience. You'll need a ton of it. For once, I did not Yelp the reviews beforehand. My kid invited me, and I was not about to say no to free food! We arrived at about 2:30pm for lunch. After a short wait, we were seated at a picnic style table where the waiting area usually is. No back support is not good. We noticed an empty booth and asked if we could move. As we are moving, we notice that there were 3 other booths available. Note, our original table was removed and set up as a waiting area again. The hostess was friendly and our server seemed nice enough. Our drinks were brought out promptly and we placed our order. Then the wait started. We must have waited for a good 45 minutes for our appetizer, if not more. Our entrees arrived a little later. The food was good. Everything we had was tasty and well prepared. I really like their fries. The sangria is really nice too. My husband really enjoyed the guava ketchup. No complaints on the food whatsoever. But that is just part of the dining experience. We made the mistake of ordering dessert. We ordered the Balls to the Wall with ice cream. Actually, we ordered just one ball. Ladies & gentlemen, our one fried ball took 40 minutes to get to our table. And only because I had to get up and ask about it. The excuse given by the server was that the food runner was looking for the table at the entrance. Well, um. If the table is not there, shouldn't they ask the server who it belongs to? And shouldn't the server have checked back on us at some point in those 40 minutes? Plus the rest of our food got to our table. Seriously,I could have walked over to Sweetness and grabbed some dessert there. We placed our payment down and played the waiting game again. We finally walked out the door at 5:55 PM. Prices are a bit on the high side for the most part. Nothing too unreasonable, but still. $14 for a vaca frita chimi with a tiny bit of fries on top for decoration. I can get a full on vaca frita steak with rice, beans and fries for about $10. But again, not too unreasonable. Our total came out to $72 for 1 cheese dip appetizer, 2 chimis, one burger, one beer, one sangria, one soda and one ball with ice cream. We totally understand that it is not fast food. We know that it is prepared when ordered. But I have yet to sit and wait that long in a casual restaurant. I don't think I ever have, actually. Even at high end restaurants. And we eat out a lot. One other nit pick note to make. They calculate their suggested tips on the total amount including taxes. Although we usually do tip on the full amount, that is not customary. So if I ever get a hankering for the chimi, I will call ahead and pick up. That is, if they offer take out. But I do no foresee myself dining in any time soon.
(3)Isaiah L.
Very nice place to come eat. Was a bit disappointed in the tacos. I saw them on TV actually and thought i'd try it while I was down here but not all that great, honestly. Other then that, the service was excellent.
(2)Ashley T.
Honestly, the service was okay. Nothing spectacular. BUT THE FOOD WAS SO YUMMY!!!!!! I had nachos and the burrito. Nachos were okay. But that burrito ...oh my god was so delicious. I was so full but my taste buds did not care at all! I ate the whole HUGE burrito. 5/5 for the burrito. I wish I tried the desserts which were very tempting to order.
(5)Alicia S.
The food was fine. The reason behind the 2 stars was the wait time. Our party waited 30 minutes when clearly seating was not a problem even though it was Mother's Day. The restaurant was half empty with over 15 booths available however we were not seated. Service took even longer. Even after bringing it to the attention of an employee we still had to wait... And wait... And wait. The restaurant was not understaffed either. There was no logical explanation for the lack of timely service in being seated and served. We were a party of 5 adults and 4 small children who were not having the waiting after hour two of sitting down and waiting at the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and extremely apologetic. Probably the only employee on the clock that actually cared to work. We arrived at 6:30 pm - seated at 7pm and left the restaurant at 9:25. NEVER AGAIN.
(2)Mark P.
We went here back in December after visiting family . I saw this restaurant on Diners drive in and dives with Guy Fieri. I asked the waitress what he ate when he video taped the show here. She told us 2 entrees. One is no longer on menu. My wife tried the one that is on menu and I tried something else. The restaurant only had 4 other patrons in it. So I was afraid of that when I saw that there wasn't many people eating there. That should have been the first clue to get up and leave. We decided to give it a try anyway. Big mistake. Food was horrible. Don't waste your money eating here. Very disappointed
(1)Elly M.
This place is absolutely amazing. The ambiance is great. The staff is friendly. The Chef comes out to check on his guests and make sure they're happy. I suggest the Mixto and the balls to the wall.
(5)Gaby B.
Back in 2010 I had given LHG a 5 star review. That was for the food truck, not the restaurant. This restaurant is around the corner from my house, so I have been to it numerous times. Not only because of its convenient location, but because for the most part (what I order) is usually always good. I can't say the same for the service. 9 out of 10 times the service sucks ass. What should be a 1-1.5 hour dinner turns into a 2.5-3 hour dinner because the server disappears, or things come out wrong.. forget about drink refills. The tacos, spicy carrots and mango habanero sauce are addictive though, so even still I would return, and of course the balls to the wall desert. But come on, how could you possibly mess up a deep fried brownie topped with ice cream? ..you cant. As of lately they started changing the topping from my beloved carnitas tacos from what they used to put on them (coleslaw, tomatoes, sour cream & guacamole) to just onions and cilantro. - So that sucks. Also, the place is looking dirtier and less clean every time I return. I had a bite of 1/2 a Mad love burger that my cousin didnt want to eat and the meat was so soggy and mushy, I didnt take another bite -- and that should say something because I LOVE burgers (and have no problem taking one to the face). The "pig wings" i tried were not good at all either. In conclusion my last visit which was this tuesday left a bad taste in my mouth (literally), and like usual the service sucked too. I don't think I will be back for a while.
(2)Cristina a.
Just love this place!!! I usually have the burgers but this time I had the chimo burrito. It's delicious & huge (good enough to share!) We had a great experience. Alex took care of our table and he was fantastic, very attentive and gave great suggestions.
(5)Hope H.
We came here last night, the day after Halloween. We were told there was a 20-25 minute wait which we though was reasonable so we decided to wait. After 30 minutes I went to the hostess to ask how much longer it would be and she told us another 15 minutes. 25 minutes after that we were finally seated. So we waited about 50-55 minutes just to be seated. Then we ordered our food.....the food took about another 45 minutes before it came out. Besides the awful service they were out of so many items that we wanted to order (including beer and food). The food was good, but was not worth the nearly two hour wait. Had I not been with friends I hadn't seen in a while, I easily would have left. The service is poor and I would suggest not going on a busy night, as you will probably easily wait an hour (and more for food).
(1)Henry G.
I went there with my Dad and my 7 year old twins. It took a while for the waitress to get to us, they were obviously understaffed. Later she confessed to us that someone had called in sick and they had "thrown a bunch of tables at her". I ordered the Queso Fondue and was told that they oven they use for that appetizer was broken. I decided to pass on the appetizer. I ordered my kids burgers from the kids menu. My son likes his with cheese, ketchup and mustard. The waitress told me they didn't have mustard. I asked if they ran out and she said that it's because their chef is "very particular" about what goes on their burgers. My answer was that I am too. I would have just left if it wasn't for the fact I was with my father. I understand if Mr. Chef doesn't like the idea of people putting certain condiments on his works of "art" but we're talking about a kids burger and it's a hamburger joint. I ordered the Bulgarian burger, whose name is terrible, but was actually very, very delicious. The red sangria was also very tasty. For dessert I ordered the "Timba" which is described as queso blanco injected with Guava. When it came it was chunks of queso blanco which had been fried to the point they were dry and the guava marmalade came in a little ramekin on the side. The sweetness of the guava couldn't overpower the saltiness of the cheese. Not a good dessert at all. So in sum, 1 star for the dictator chef who doesn't stock mustard. 1 star for having a broken oven. Waitress was nice and apologetic as was the busboy, so they bring up the score a bit. Burger was 4 stars. Dessert was terrible. If you like a big burger with some different ingredients give them a try. Don't expect fast service or go there if you are with picky eaters.
(2)Erik F.
Food is ok but it's a bit overpriced in my opinion. They don't offer regular fries, they just offer some greasy boring thin fries that don't really taste like much. The appetizers are good just be careful what order because the more expensive the appetizer the less food you get. As far as dessert make sure to stop by sweetness bake shop on your way out.
(2)Daryl R.
Don't believe the bad-mouthing. I've been to this place over 50 times since they converted the truck to a full-blown restaurant a few years ago. (Not the easiest of tasks.) And in those fifty visits I have experienced what the Yelp regulars refer to as "bad service" maybe once or twice, an average amount for any service establishment. That leaves only one explanation for why this place gets a bad rep for the quality of its service: perpetuation of "hate". The early reviews that came in during the first few weeks, when they were a work-in-progress, may have been authentic. But what you see now are customers, regular "yelpers", who come in and expect bad service. When you are expecting something due to third-party predisposition, you will see it at every step of the way. Could the server have taken your order a bit faster? Could the busboy have refilled your water with better timing? Perhaps. But this happens at every restaurant, and it is only because of their perception and willingness to join in on the tune of negative reviews that they echo the trash talk. It is easier to say something nasty than to say something nice. When you dine at Latin House Burger & Taco Bar, walk in with an open mind. Expect to be impressed by the food, which is not ready-made. Give the staff a chance, because it's worth the wait. As for the food... The burgers: With over ten different types of burgers, ranging from the Original Mad Love with its three different cuts of beef and three cheeses, to the Juicy Bella, a chorizo stuffed affair, and even to the Elvis, a PB&J + banana burger, there's something for everyone, including a premium version of the regular, ordinary cheeseburger. The chimi: The last time I went to LHG (this is what the truck era people call it), I was accompanying a first-timer. As he read through the menu, he stumbled upon the chimi burrito. He repeated the quote printed on the menu to me, "this is a life-changer." Without hesitation he ordered the burrito and when it arrived, what confronted him was a large, fried burrito filled with their famous yellow chuchi rice, three cheeses, plantains, and meat topped with pico, mexican crema and avocado-lime sauce. I then looked down at my plate to sort out my meal, and a few minutes later when I looked back up to check what his reaction was... it was gone. Addictive personalities should stay far, far away from LHG. The balls to the wall: Remember when you were a kid and would hear the ice-cream truck pass within a 1-mile radius of your house? And you could still hear it because as a child your ears were tuned to pick up their very special frequency, and you would flip out? The balls to the wall dessert summons that feeling every time the server walks out of the kitchen with them in hand. Then you realize it's too much, and too good. But you regret nothing. Tacos, nachos, and everything else: Around a dozen protein options (including veggie soy) are available for a number of dishes made with their own hybrid style of Latin flavoring. To this day I've had almost every single option on the menu, and am yet to be disappointed. The reality is I haven't tried many of the soups and salads on the menu, because I can never resist ordering one of the aforementioned items first. 5/5 stars. All the way. Don't listen to the angry mob.
(5)Kim O.
This restaurant has ok food but they have a major logistical problem. We waited over an hour for a table. That didn't really upset is though, because we were a large group. Once we sat down it took a long time for our server to come around. We ordered right away. We waited another hour and 15 minutes to get our food. At one point we looked around and only 1 table in the whole place had food on it. Something is not going right in that kitchen. For some reason our server just wasn't coming around much either to see about drinks and appetizers. I had the chimi burrito and once it came it was actually really really good. I enjoyed the different flavors of the rice, maduros, and the ribeye meat. Everyone else at my table had burgers. They all said they were just average. The balls to the walls dessert was excellent though. Yummy. I just wish they put more thought into getting people sat and getting the food out to them. I would like to try this place again to see if they can get this fixed because my entree was actually great.
(2)Lina F.
I have been hearing great things about LatinHouseGrill and had been looking forward to trying it. We had tried to come here once before as a family but the wait was too long which reinforced in our mind how great it must be. We were seated as soon as we arrived around 7:15pm. The restaurant was full but still several tables available. The football game was on so were immediately accommodated when my husband asked to be switched to a booth where he had the perfect view of one of the many big screen tvs. The hostess asked us to be patient with our server since she had just been slammed with three tables all at once. But she quickly came and took our order. Our appetizer, two cups of lobster bisque arrived quickly and were perfect. Not to thick, just the right amount of cream and sherry. After awhile my husband started complaining about how long the food was taking. Our dinner arrived 40 minutes after we ordered it. Not at all what we expected after we had so quickly received our appetizers. Although the dinner did not lack in taste, as a matter of fact it was quite tasty, it was not as described in the menu. I ordered the taco lettuce wraps which claim to have hard, crisp lettuce. What I got were four wilted lettuce leaves with my taco fixings on top. I had to cut through the wilted lettuce unlike any other lettuce wrap I've ever had which you are able to hold in your hand like a taco. My husband's quarter pound burger was a slider. When the server saw my husbands shocked face she stated "I told you the quarter pound burger was small and the half pound burger was huge." She never stated any such thing....not to us anyhow. We were so disillusioned we didn't stay to try any of the delicious sounding desserts.
(3)Sherman H.
I've been here three times. The chimis were really delicious. Depending on who is working, there are different sauces available. Staff is always friendly, despite the fact they work in a people oven. I tried the muffin tops during the Wynwood Art Walk and frankly, was disappointed. It didn't live up to my previous food experiences. If I go back and it's great, I'll upgrade to a five. Otherwise, for lack of consistency a three and I will continue trying other food trucks. The food is not as cheap as you'd expect from a food truck, but they seem to use really good quality ingredients. And the other food trucks I've tried have had the same price ranges.
(4)Ralph P.
I've been driving by this place for probably over a year and the name had always caught my attention, who doesn't love burgers, tacos, and a bar, LOL. My wife met me and the kids when she got off of work on a Thursday evening. Out of pure coincidence we found out after we sat down, Kids eat free all Summer!!!! That's great for me b/c we have 3 kids!!! The two little one had a chicken rice bowl and a steak rice bowl, which came with their homemade onion fries. Zak and Vivi loved their food and ate it all! Gaby had the kids tacos, one steak and one chicken. After we got the kids orders in, we ordered as an appetized their pico de gallo. It was delicious and very very fresh! Highly recommended. Oh I think I forget to mention they had $2 Dos Equis and Heineken's........ The Mrs. ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (4 tacos) 2 carne asada, 1 chicken, 1 vaca frita. She loved them, I took a bite of the Carne Asada and the the vaca frita and they were great! I ordered the "Mad Love" burger, a 1/2 lb burger with all the fixins!!!! The waitress asked if I wanted a fried egg on it and I asked her if it's worth it and her response was, "Go big or Go home". So I had to man up and get it with the egg. This was the first time I've had a fried egg on a burger and i'm a changed man. The burger had maple glazed bacon and cheese, the egg brought it to the next level. I have been dreaming about this burger!!!!!

Shame about this place. Great product but the service is a bit suspect. I've tried the food from back when they were, not even a food truck, but a small trailer in tow. Excellent burgers and fries. Like I said: great product. I'd never gone to the brick-and-mortar but decided to go on a Friday. They told my party (of 3) the wait was gonna be 30-45 minutes. Okay I get it... It's a Friday. Though there were seats outside, and the hostess said inside and outside: still 30-45. Fine. We go inside in the place to get a drink at the bar, and there's even tables open. With a full staff working. However I saw a bunch of servers kind of twiddling their thumbs. Also, our bartender, who must've never poured a beer in his life had no idea what beers were available. Kinda wonky. It had been 25 minutes at the bar, and nothing yet. There were 3 tables open. Very confusing. Me and my party just decided to leave, but before we left I wanted to ask what was up. I asked the hostess, hey, how much longer because I clearly see tables open? She said they just got a party of 14 show up. Bush league, in my opinion. I've seen restaurants deal with more and still function normally. The place doesn't stop for that, especially when you have servers chillin' by the bar. Unacceptable, and kind of a lame excuse. Hope the service/management gets better than that.

We both had the four tacos meal. I had mine with shrimp and my boyfriend had two with steak and two with carnitas. These were seriously the best tacos I've ever had and there were so many items on the menu I wanted to try!! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing from the chips to sliders to tacos. Don't miss this place. We'd be regulars if we lived here!
(5)Jaime G.
Great place in south Miami. Loved. Gray service and great food and great craft. Try the masitas with grilled mahi mahi or original burger. Super good. Pair with a nice drink special which they have everyday or a nice craft beer (like a funky budda Floridian). Great place to try. All good here.

We had seen the TV segments a few times, and finally made it out there! Fantastic. We had the small nacho platter with the carne asada and it was great. The lime avocado sauce and pico on top of the rainbow tortilla chips- finger licking good. It was huge for a small platter. Meals: Burger, Lettuce Tacos, MadLove wings and chicken kids tacos. ALL of it was good. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chef. We were too full for desert so we will be going back for that and dying to try the frita. The server was very attentive and really knew his menu. The food takes a little bit to come out but not a long crazy wait, and they cook to order so it's fresh. I can honestly say the portions were huge and sooo good.
(5)Cristina G.
Delicious! I had heard great things but was still surprised by the creative items on the menu and the extensive beer selection.
(5)Alex P.
I heard a lot of good things about this place from family and friends and decided to finally come and try it. I have to day I am a burger joint owner so I have become very critical with the places I visit who serve burgers. I have to say that after trying the mad love burger I have become a new fan. My wife had the chimi burrito which was awesome as well. I will recommend this place to all my friends and will continue to come and try new thing.

Went to the new restaurant for lunch time. They were pretty busy but it's not the best place for that 1hr lunch. Parking lot was a big pain, there wasn't enough spots for everyone. I witnessed a customer back up into another customers car in the parking lot. I had to drive around a few times to park. Service was good at first and everyone was tentative except my actual waiter. I waited 20min for my check, and noticed the party at the table next to me also had the same problem. Prices are pretty steep at $23 for one person w/ an app. The food was good at least. I suggest a lunch menu that won't take so long and can make this a daily lunch destination. A lot of potential, just got to work out the kinks and the bad apples.
(2)Julie G.
Love this place! I loved their food truck and now I love the restaurant. I go pretty often and the food is always so good! My favorites are the French mad love burgers and the tacos! My boyfriend loves the lobster bisque and the chiming burrito. The staff is very nice and I always have a good experience. I highly recommend this place.
(4)Karen C.

Review #400!! Going back to Miami for this one... Absolutely Loved this place! Food truck favorites right in Kendall! Latin House is a food truck that has now developed their own brick and mortar right in the heart of Kendall on Sunset. The menu includes all your favorite food truck staples like burgers and tacos but with a latin twist. The menu also includes various other items from various other cuisines. The restaurant is a modern style place that is really nice and has a huge bar with TV's everywhere as well. The service is stellar when I was there, but there really wasn't many people there around 4 in the afternoon. The place seems to always be busy when I'm driving by around night time, so be ready to wait. We wanted to try a variety of things, so we skipped out on getting the Mad Love Burger and went about ordering a variety of different sliders and tacos. We ordered 4 different International muffin tops (which are mini versions of the Mad Love burger), the American, Western, Bulgarian, and Cuban. We also ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (order of 4) and you're given the choice of choosing 4 different options. Sounds great. Let's get 2 orders of those (8 in total). We ordered a combination of Fire House Shrimp, Ribeye Steak, Carne Asada, Calamari, and Cabo Wabo (fish). The International Muffin Tops (the burgers) were incredible. I loved every hint of distinction stemming from the different burgers. The American burger is your typical burger coming with Maple smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an avocado lime sauce. The most basic if you're looking to keep it simple. The Western Burger antes it up a bit with Pepperjack Cheese and a Large Fried Onion Ring. The BBQ sauce on top makes it another favorite amongst people, but I really enjoyed the more unique ones. Like the Cuban, which had Guaya marmalade and Queso Blanco. It was a wonderful bite because it seemed as though two different "patties" of flavors were tasted and the guaya and cheese were great. The Bulgarian came with Jalapeno Havarti Cheese with french fried onions. The Havarti Cheese is a very creamy slice of cheese and worked as a glue for the fried onions and burger as well. Each one was good and worth a shot. The tacos were even better though, in my opinion. The Fire House Shrimp had to be one of the best tacos I've had in a long time. The shrimp were massive!! I was expecting small shrimp and probably would have been satisfied with such...but not at Latin House. They really impress with how large the shrimp was. They're flash fried and tossed with Thai chili sauce which was more sweet than spicy, but equally incredible. The Cabo Wabo was great too! The fish was real crispy and clean and made for a wonderful bite. The Calamari taco was ok. Nothing spectacular, while the Ribeye steak was just alright as well. I was hoping for more of a different taste than others, but it was still decent enough. The carne asada was very good but nothing compares to those Fire House Shrimp Tacos. Wonderful place to go if you haven't yet. The place it occupies used to be a sushi place and the decor kind of looks like that. Regardless, the food is wonderful, and the service (during non-peak hours) was stellar. Waitress understood our gluttonous needs and attended to them well. Definitely worth multiple visits.
(5)Nancy B.
5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. not even close to 5 stars, but not the worst on the planet, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and I must say it was amazing. The music was not loud and the atmosphere was great (contrary to what I've read in other reviews). We had a male waiter who came around very often and was very friendly. This place has a full bar with a very large variety of different beers, which is nice since we don't have many places like that around this area. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Tangled Love as an appetizer and the Chimi Burrito and the Masita for lunch. The Masita seemed on the healthier side than the burrito, but was still very good. The Chimi Burrito was definitely my favorite thing we ordered. We will definitely be visiting this place again, but maybe for dinner with a few friends. Overall, the service was great, food was out of this world, and atmosphere was cool and enjoyable!
(5)Mark B.
I have only eaten their burgers so far and they are great. The atmosphere is loud so my pregnant girlfriend and I usually get their food to go.
(4)Claudia O.
We visited Latin House a couple times right when they opened and despite some opening week glitches, the food was good enough and the employees all so nice, that we've kept coming back. I'm happy we have because they've found their footing, fixed the problems they had with the food taking forever, and everyone really knows what they're doing now. I feel like the appetizers are a little over-priced, but they are all good. I've tried different burgers - the original, the cuban, the french - all delicious. The fries are amazing. The veggie protein option for the Mexican dishes is really good and can fool a carnivore. My absolute favorite thing is the chimi burrito though and it's big enough to split between two people. Also great is their beer selection. I love places that serve out-of-the-ordinary brews. There's a table for domino and I've heard they started doing karaoke on Thursdays!
(5)Kristen M.
We went for Cinco De Mayo which was nice and different from the crowded streets of Brickell & South Miami, the food was good and they had beer specials. The $2 tacos are a bit misleading considering they come in sets of 4 (you can mix and match the meats) so in reality they ar $8 not $2. But they are good. We also had the nachos which were very tasty. I wouldn't mind coming back.
(3)Alex A.
Food is great. No good healthy options tho! And the service is horrible. Servers walk around aimlessly with no urgency or purpose. Food is sloooow but worry the wait. Just don't be too hungry...
(3)Mercedes D.
Love this place! I have tried the mad love burger, nachos (appetizer), chimi (fried), bowl of rice with chicken and ribeye, tacos, and carne asada dish with rice and maduros. I have also tried the flatton, and not a big fan. The wait staff (most) should be swapped around. Not all 5 stars due to mediocre service, sneaky wording on "nachos with carne asada?" When it is $2 extra and it just catch me off guard because at first I said ribeye, and extra charge (with zero notice) on the extra garlic aioli sauce that came with the madlove burger.
(4)Will M.
Lows:... It's slow. It's pricey for what you get. It's slow. The tables wobble. It's slow. The bench seats slide instead of staying put. It's slow. The music is way too loud and annoying. Highs:...( There really isn't a high per se ). The burger had a good taste, but not compared to the competition. The fries are spiral cut. Some may enjoy that, for the sake of something different. I think the spiral shape means a sort of flat, tongue-adhering shape that takes away the sensation of something crispy. Highs and lows aside, clearly the conversation topic about the place was the TIME it took for everything. It's a good thing we arrived at this place sooner than we had planned. We were lucky to be seated quickly. Others that arrived after us were asked to wait even though tables were empty. It became obvious why they were told to wait. The kitchen can't keep up with even a sparsely populated dining room. After ordering and getting drinks, tens upon tens of minutes will go by. You'll look at the bar, you'll look at other guests waiting to be seated. You'll look at the poor folks waiting to be seated. You'll hope and wish that someone would turn down the music to something more condusive to a nice time at a restaurant. You'll get hungrier by the second wondering if your food was even started. Is the cook on break? Did some staff not show up to work? Are they trying to be slow to make the room seem more full? Should we keep on waiting? Should we ask the waiter how much longer? It's hard to have a nice time at this place. I won't give it a 1 because the food isn't horrible, but definitely no more than 2.

amazing food, creative/original menu, great decor, great beer selection with a bunch of rare beers (UFO, Brooklyn Lager, etc), great presentation with the food, amazing tasting food, super clean, super friendly staff, the bartender let me sample some of the rare beers. I eat out everyday and its really hard for a restaurant to really impress me, I finally found a place which truly blew me away! I'll be a customer for life!!! Thank you Michell for opening something different yet so amazing from everyone else!
(5)Erica V.
I ordered something that I had saw on the show Eat Street I believe, and I was not impressed at all. The menu seems very confusing as you have to "add" meat into your dish for extra money. They actually charged me $2.00 to add meat to my taco. How else would you eat a taco??? Sneaky, not good and will not be coming back!
(2)Rachel S.
Ok I loooooved their food truck burger but what I had here sucked. The service was awesome but the food was really bad. The carne asado tacos were a rip off. Flavors eeww & price was even more disappointing. The famous burrito tasted like a mouthful of 3 year old grease. Ugh vomit ! I should've had a burger but with all the ranting and raving about the tacos & the burrito I wanted to try it. What a disappointment :( I really wanted to like it.
(2)Max T.
I got a chance to catch these guys on sw 89th ave and bird road. It is a good spot for them because this area is restaurant lacking!!! The MAD LOVE burger was really good. They are drawing big crowds. The Mad love burger has some kind of special sauce, 2 types of meat in the patty, avocado, onions, curly fries, a nice bread, huge size. Size has to be between 3 quarter pound burger to a full pound. Several types of cheeses inside. The meat they grind together gives it good texture and taste. It is a really good burger. The prices are not cheap, for a food truck, but the food is not food truck taste. Its not healthy food, but it is so freaking good, I wish I could have it every day; too bad my cholesterol may not agree with that decision. I tried the chicken taco and the rib eye taco. Both were good, I prefer the rib eye. If they are out of MAD LOVE, these tacos may not be a bad option. It is amazing the crowds these people are getting. I hope we get more food trucks in town like NYC/LA. Give the place a try you wont regret it. I was told that on busy nights the quality is not as good, but I cant confirm this yet.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My buddy was raving and raving about trying the food, so I finally decided to go. Walking into the place feels like it definitely does not belong in Kendall. In a strip mall but has plenty of parking. walked in and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. It was a little busy. It has a more of a mid-town / wynwood feel to it. Love the hanging lights and all the art on the wall. They have a bar in the middle which is pretty sweet and serve many beers that you will not traditionally not find in most places such as Chimay. One complaint I do have is the actual seating arrangements. The booths are a bit small and the tables are just not set up right. Non the less what's up with the food.? Started out by ordering a Chimay then the waiter went off to ask me if I have ever tried the red bottle of Chimay. Told him no and took a chance on trying it. Comes in a large bottle that will probably give you 3.5 - 4.5 regular sized beers. So it's perfect for sharing and pouring a couple beers if your eating with another person. The recommendation was perfect. Moved on to the food. First order was an appetizer. Pig wings. They were AWESOME. At my table the original burger was ordered, the Carne Asada burrito and I ordered the Yellow Tail fish tacos. Everything was absolutely AMAZING! The burger is juicy, plump & delicious with the Latin fusion twist. The burrito is not what your thinking and has a twist to it. It's fused with sweet plantains, some other things and that delicious green sauce that they drizzle on top.. And it is huge! Absolutely awesome! Definitely something you can share. But OMG those fish tacos have to be the best fish tacos I have ever had. They are just out of this world. Its three tacos and once I devoured them I ordered another plate. Don't forget and just go try them now! Yellow Tail fish tacos.. Just wow! Definitely returning. I can't wait to have a Chimay & my Yellow Tail fish tacos and pick off whoever I'm with and force them to have the burrito so I can pick. :-)) Pros- 1. Mid-town/WynWood feel in Kendall 2. Friendly staff 3. Price 4. Beer Selection 5. The Fish Tacos! Cons- 1. The seating. Please fix this!
(5)Orlando S.
Finally had a chance to get to the restaurant today. Definitely not disappointed. The same taste and quality that got me hooked from the food truck was not lost in translation to the physical location. You do have to give it some time in terms of interior looks as they are still putting some finishing touches (like paint and better seating for the booths), but you go to a restaurant to eat and be served, am I right? The service was great and again the food was spot on! Quick in and out service and attentive. For those previous reviews that complained about the service I saw no signs of that anywhere here. Again with a new staff you have to give it some time if you have had a bad service experience, but Chef M. has definitely started something great and hope this will be the first of many locations! Got yourself a new LHG stalker here.

My wife and I have always seen this place every time we drive down Sunset Dr. and we finally decided to stop by and all I can say is why did I not stop by like 3 months ago. lol This place is amazing, really nice decor, great food, and an awesome bar. The service was a little slow, but I think they will improve with time. So the concept of the Latin House is a combo of casual bar food and tex mex. Their appetizers all looked wonderful; we had their "Mad love" wings, which they pride themselves on, and they are pretty good, not the" best in town" but a solid 8 out of 10. Their house "mad love" sauce is very flavorful and has a great kick of spice to it. My wife of course like always got the most expensive thing on the menu which was the Carne Asada which was some of the best I have ever had and was only $16.99; yes that is the most expensive thing on the menu. I had their famous classic burger, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was very juicy and the bread and cheese you can tell were of high quality. I highly recommend this place to anybody in the area; I am already taking my brother and sister in law next week to introduce them to this new little gem. This place is great for groups because the food is made with quality ingredients and they serve you very well, I swear their loaded nachos can feed a small country. Enjoy!!!

im lowering from 2 to 1 star, because seriously sending "hate mail" on yelp and intimidating people about their honest reviews is just flat out pathetic.
(1)Adam S.
I thought this place was decent, but nothing overly amazing and a little pricey for what the food is. We came here for lunch and got an appetizer and 2 entrees. The appetizer was the "sneaky nachos" with chorizo. They were pretty good, but as my wife said, "how good can nachos really be?" I answered, "for $10 they better be pretty damn good." These were perfectly fine nachos, but $10 nachos? Humph. For our entrees we had the vaca frita masita and the chimi burrito with ribeye. The masitas were really tasty. The meat was really good and the tortillas were light and tasted good. By far the best things we had here. The burrito was decent, but it was a little heavy and I felt like there was too much rice in it. I am not opposed to the rice being in there, but in my mind a $12 burrito should not be primarily rice. Ultimately, it was a solid, if unspectacular, meal. $36 (pre tip) for this type of meal is pretty pricey though (unless the food is blow me away good), and this was good not great food.
(3)Vanessa A.
My boyfriend and i came here with a gift certificate I recieved. I order the lobster bisque as my appetizer. It tasted like they had melted a stick of butter and put it in a bowl. There was absolutely no lobster in it. I tried to be polite and take a few more sips.....but I felt like I was going to puke. My boyfriend ordered something as well, it was loaded with grease. I decided to maybe try something else, some kind of fried shrimp. The sauce that it came with was amazing, i was shocked. Then the bill came. There were only 2 other tables. We had been done with our food, 90 % of which was horrible. It took them almost 20 minutes to close out our bill. Both my boyfriend and i also ended up getting sick by the end of the night as well. Coincidence?This place has potential, but I was extremely disappointed with our food and service. Will not recommend to anyone. And will never go back.
(1)Eimy R.
what is up with LHG charging a "gratuitiy" and a "service fee" for take out orders?? As if their food wasnt expensive enough? I understand you use the "best" ingredients and yes your food is abosulutely delicious (hence why i spend 65$ for 2 burgers and 2 beers) but why on God's green earth am i being charged extra for getting in MY CAR DRIVING to YOUR RESTAURANT TO PICK UP FOOD???? although it is only a couple of dollars, its the moral behind it. I seriously dont think ill be getting take out anymore if they are just looking for ways to get all they can out of my pocket.
(3)Alexander C.
Very slow service. After waiting 45 - 60 minutes for a table had to wait another 60 minutes for food to come out.
(1)Jessica C.
Hands down the BEST food truck out there! I honestly cannot get enough of their food! Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that I have tried is absolutely delicious! My absolute favorite would have to be the sliders! these damn burgers are small and delicious! last week I had an American and Cuban slider and loved both. Another fav would have to be the chicken flatton, the sauces are amaze-balls! What else makes this food truck amazing? the friendly staff! no matter how hectic they are, they always take the time to ask me how's my food and if I need anything else (sauces, napkins etc) I once waited over an hour in line for these guys, so yeah, it's that serious! Follow them on Twitter and/or FB to find out where they'll be during the week and get ready for some serious deliciousness. If you happen to be at a food truck rally, LHG will fill you up, so you might want to share the food with someone. Prices are reasonable and they accept cash and credit cards. Oh and they have Mexican coke, WIN!
(5)Nathalie G.
My only regret is that I didn't try the heavenly food truck earlier... Everything these people make is amazing...the chimis are the most delicious, scrumptious things I have ever had. Their portions are humongous, they're super affordable and everyone is super friendly! Do yourself a favor a try these guys...soon!!! I am an official LHG STALKER!!!
(5)Carlos R.
The tacos are fantastic, especially the cabo wabo fish tacos. Better than anything I've had throughout the Keys.
(5)Amanda E.
Oh gosh, where to begin with Latin House? This place is an obsession for my family... any excuse to eat there is capitalized on immediately (Heat game? Mother's Day? Got out of work early?). On my most recent trip was happy to see they've actually gotten real menus (laminated, how fancy of them) and have added some wine to their already fantastic beer selection. Not many beers to choose from, but I appreciate a beer list with microbrews or harder-to-find beers. Don't worry, they also have Sam Adams, etc. for those of you who don't like to venture out of the box too often. The food? There are no words. Apps: The sneaky nachos LITERALLY take my breath away. I prefer them with carne asada or vaca frita. I'm not a big shrimp fan but my family has gotten the fire house shrimp a few times and each time it has been devoured with raves. I think the queso fondu is a little too thick (breaks all my chips... I'm not about that), but it is still tasty. For entrees, there really is nothing like the chimi burrito. I prefer it with carne asada, my cousin loves it with vaca frita. It's large enough to feed two, or one very hungry human (or, conversely, one growing 16 year old boy). Tacos are also stellar. The muffin tops are great; I'm particularly a fan of the Western. The French sounds strange, but we tried it upon the recommendation of the waitress and I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, I think we've had every entree on the menu and they've all been great. Reason for only four stars? The service. It's getting better, but it still isn't great. Half the time the restaurant is empty and I still feel like I'm searching desperately for someone to refill my water. We've had a few other service issues but the drink refills is my biggest bother. Regardless, this place is a can't miss. Do yourself a favor - come hungry, bring friends, and indulge in sneaky nachos, a chimi burrito, and a (or many) nice cold glass of beer. You'll thank yourself.
(4)Carmen M.
Can I say WOW! The burgers, appetizers, and staff were wonderful. I say come hungry( I say to that to almost all restaurants) but this one takes the cake!!! Brace yourselfs into Euphoria!!! I went with my parents, son and we were starving. Ordered the nachos with vaca frita and the regular size portion we were unable to finish. Then can the burgers...need I say more.. We all ordered the International Muffin Tops 2@ 10.99. The initial thought; these burgers will not fill us up. We were wrong. I had the Cuban and the French, if you like sweet stuff then these are your burgers. While the rest of my family had the Swiss and the Original. We were all in burger heaven. I will definately return- next time I wont order the appetizer so I can eat the tasy burgers!
(5)Eddy M.
Fantastic food! This place looks like a high end swanky NY restaurant. The servers are extremely helpful and the menu is filled with delicious items that range from Calamari to a French Brie burger, and a butt load of Mexican dishes. Great beer selection, try the Angry Orchid Hard Cider, goes great with the food. The food won't let you down!
(5)David B.
Food was typical bar/pub food except way over priced. Service was very slow. Had to request sides that were supposed to come with my meal. Asked waitress for my side and she was like "0h you wanted that." Took 2 times to finally get it. Our server was almost on automatic. Thankfully no attitude. Thankfully we had a coupon, but there will be no next time. Just to expensive for what they are offering.

These new age, eclectic takes on ethnic cuisines are confounding. These trendy hipster places, indicating mass gentrification, are spreading all over Miami and it's both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand, they're a complete bastardization of true original delights. They're not real food in the ethnic sense of the word. For instance, real Mexican food is on a whole other tier of deliciousness beyond this food. However, these places are undeniably tasty and it's good to have some creative variety: even if the whole thing feels overly artsy and fake. What concerns me is how many naive people will come in here thinking that this is real Mexican food, or worse, what if they think it's BETTER than real Mexican food without even having tried real Mexican food? I've seen examples of both cases and those people are irritating and naive. This place mixes Mexican concepts with American ones, Cuban, and European. It's really a hodgepodge mix of everything a hipster would want to throw into a meal. Is it spectacular? Hardly. Real tacos al pastor from Mexico are spectacular. Is it good? Certainly. The best thing I tried here was definitely the taqueria calle tacos. It's a selection of 4 different tacos from the following choices of "protein" as these hipsters call it: Cilantro-Lime Chicken, Veggie, Chorizo, Cabo Wabo, Ribeye Steak, Calamari, Carne Asada, Vaca Frita, and Fire House Shrimp. These are definitely not authentic Mexican choices, but they are all tasty nonetheless. I decided to try 1 with lime chicken, 1 with chorizo, 1 with ribeye steak, and 1 with vaca frita. They were all extremely tasty. They are each adorned with pico de gallo, a hipster inspired "avocado lime sauce", and crema fresca. Tortilla quality was above reproach and the presentation was beautiful. This 11.99 assortment of tacos will not fill the average grown man, however. They're tiny. I also tried a bite of the Chimi burrito which was bigger than any burrito I've seen and with a completely new age tortilla that defies description. It's definitely crunchy and fried, yet not as heavy and greasy as it looks. The stuff inside the vegetarian burrito was out of this world good. That may be the other best thing I've had there. I also tried 2 different sliders: the french one with bleu cheese, almonds, and honey and the western with jalepeno pepper jack cheese, beer battered onion rings, and BBQ sauce. The western was far better than the French, which was too sweet and heavy for my taste.

I need some Pepto. I went over hoping to try the much loved Mad Love Burger and to my dismay it wasn't on the menu so settled for a Muffin Top Italian Style. It was a 1/4lb burger on a itty bun topped with LOTS of Italian cold cuts, provolone, tomato and lettuce as well as a little sauce that I'm not too certain of. The burger felt like it was way bigger than the 1/4 promised which I never mind and the meat was fresh and tasty but a little too "tasty". It felt over seasoned and the entire combo (which would not stay in the way too small bun) was difficult to get down even if shared. The price was just right at $6 for a combo which included a burger, nachos topped with meat and cheese and a soda. The nachos were REALLY GOOD! But, alas, just a side so we'll have to go back in hopes that they have some MAD LOVE for me.
(3)Tiana F.
yummy! appetizer: $12 calamari. pretty good. best were accompanying sauces. we housed it. hubby had carne asada steak meal for $9.99 and comes with 3 nice sized strips of meat, 3 plantains, and rice. I had the lobster and filet mignon tacos for $14.99. 2 tacos: 1 with lobster and other with meat. delicious but should be accompanied by chips for that price. 20 beers on draft! didn't have dessert but will definitely return to indulge on extra calories. service was excellent. ambiance is chill and good music. i don't give it a 5 b/c we ordered above with a $5 light corona and bill was $50...really?...a bit much, but we will return. they have a great menu and those burgers are amazeballs if I remember correctly from truck visits.
(4)Kristine B.
OMG. Amazing! Best nachos (Sneaky with vaca frita) ever and my "French" burger was to die for!

Hi my name is Vanessa and I am a Latin House Grill Stalker! It started innocently enough, another truck popped up on the scene with their signature dishes and elusive parking tactics. But it is now officially an addictions. Tonight I craved the cheesy yumminess that is a Latin House Chimi and when I opted to have it grilled instead of fried my trying to be healthy fat kid eyes lit up at first bite. I fought hard to resist the chocolatey balls even though the aroma and look of them was taunting me. Alas, I have left them - they will be devoured on another day because I will definitely be eating here again.

I absolutely love the food here. Great selection and quality. The only downside for me is their version of curly fries. I find that they are too thin, get cold and unpleasant to eat very quickly. I just prefer to have actual fries with my burger. That being said, the muffin tops are to die for. If you haven't tried this place out, GO

I went to a mini food truck gathering at the Alpha & Omega church and the aroma from this truck was calling my name. Wow, those burgers were good. I had the little mini version of their Madlove burger and it was insanely yummy. They have some SUPER spicy dipping sauces for those who want to add some extra heat. I wanted to try the Flaton but since I was sharing with someone we agreed on these, and I wasn't disappointed. If you're faced with several food trucks and can't choose, you won't go wrong here.

I've been dying to come here ever since I read the review on burgerbeast.com . Burger beast never lets us down! This place was delicious! We had the sneaky nachos, which were great however I fell in in love with my Puffy Flatton! It was so perfect I wanted to marry it! My boyfriend had the Chimi Burrito. At first I was envious of his choice but mine was so good I got over it really quick! Bottom line... DELICIOUS!

I didn't know about this place until I saw a Groupon for it. So before buying it I read the reviews and looked at their menu. Everything looked appealing so I went ahead and purchased 1 voucher. We went on Sunday evening for dinner and I must say for a Sunday night it had a lot of people in it. Surprisingly enough one of the parties that was there just so happens to be one of our close friends. He was there with his wife and two kids, he quickly said he loved Latin House.... "good tasting food." So after hearing that from him we were both excited to try it out. For our appetizer we ordered the Fire House Shrimp & Steak; it was an A+. For our entrees we ordered a Spinach Chicken / Calamari Salad and a Fish/FireHouseShrimp Salad. The Spinach salad had good taste BUT it was drenched in their special dressing. Grossed me out really so I just ate the chicken and calamari. I would've told the staff to fix it but I didn't want to wait because I was pretty hungry. The other salad was actually pretty good except that it could have used more protein. I would go back but next time I'll go for lunch and try one of their famous burgers or tacos. On another note, since I see there are some complaints about the staff, we were fortunate enough that the staff that night was great with us. Very friendly and attentive, can't say one negative thing about them.

I won't reiterate everything everyone has already said regarding the food, my review is for the actual restaurant opening up soon. I attended a soft opening/charity event for friends and family last weekend and even though I didn't try much of the food, my rating is strictly for customer service. I have been to all kinds of pricey 5* restaurants in Miami and the service in this place was seriously impeccable and flawless. For a minute I felt like I was not in Miami at all. Did Chef Ramsey himself train these freaking people? It was almost like they had been on a reality show called "Server Survivor Bootcamp" where if they weren't on point or attentive they were voted off the restaurant. From the moment you hit the door, the hostess opened it, and the service never dropped from there. It seemed like there had to be at least 50 staff members dedicated to this event and they all ran around like they were waiting on the president of the United States. No request was too big, annoying, or couldn't be answered after a quick run to management. A server was even super kind when he had to kick us out for overstaying our welcome at a much needed table when others were waiting to be served (everything was tips and donations that night). We were glad to leave and allow others to experience great service. I hope they keep it up. The burger I had was awesome and delicious of course (you can read all the other reviews for that) but I'm definitely coming back to try all of the other items on the menu. I had never tried their food truck before so they definitely have a new fan (especially since I just read the description of that filthy named dessert, I'll be back just to try that!).

Great place, good food. Go and try it...

After experiencing the quality of their food via their food trucks, I was really excited to be able to sit down in their restaurant and see what they could do with all that kitchen space. Unfortunately for it's fans, the restaurant is a huge let down... I'm a firm believer in first impressions and thus was probably the case with my experience when I first entered on Mothers Day. I walk in with a party of 3, and was actually pleased to see that we had beat the lunch rush because the restaurant was probably at 50% capacity. We were greeted by the host, only to be informed that we would have to wait about 30-45 minutes to be seated. He explained that there were reservations already made (understandable) and the available tables were for those reservations. So I took a seat by the front door and took a look at the special "Mothers Day Menu". I understand the reasoning for this, but when you're a fresh restaurant, people are still coming in to experience what it is that you offer. By limiting patrons choices, you're not really showing what you're all about. *Strike 1* As my party and I were waiting (probably about 15 minutes by now) I couldn't help but to notice that every time someone opened the main door, it would slam shut with a really awful bang. It may sound menial to you at first, but after waiting for 15 minutes with that repetitive sound right next to your ear(bang! bang! bang!) it becomes really bothersome. Twenty minutes had passed now and I had yet to see any of these "reservations" arrive, so I made mention to the host. He said, "We'll seat you in about 5-10 minutes." Those 5-10 minutes quickly turned into 15-20 and it took us about 35-40 minutes to be seated at a restaurant that was at 50% capacity. (By the way, during the time we were waiting, not ONE of those reservations arrived....????) *Strike 2* We sat down, quickly ordered (because we had 30+ minutes to stew over the menu) and waited for our order to come out... this is what put me over the top with this place. A waiter came out with one of the plates (Taco Trio) and placed it down on the table. After 5 minutes with NO OTHER PLATES from our order coming out, I decided to point out to the waitress that took our order that we were still missing 2/3rds of our order. Ten minutes after the first plate was brought out, the remainder of our order arrived.... when the first plate was already cold. *Strike 3* The actually quality of the plates were ordered were average at best. The dessert; however, (a brownie covered in dough) was pretty good. By the way, forgot to make mention that our waitress actually spilled half of my plate on my jeans when she was picking up the finished plates. Did I get an apology or a napkin even?? NOPE! In conclusion, my recommendation is to go elsewhere with your business until they have this whole "restaraunt" thing figured out.

This is one of the first food trucks I tried when before the craze started and I just keep going back for more. My only complaint is that now that they've gotten so popular there is usually a long wait. But I can't say that will stop me from going. I'm a big fan of the French Slider with brie, honey, and almonds. It's a total foodgasm. The sneaky nachos and the chimiburrito are among my other faves. And if you like spicy stuff Chef Michele always has a few of his own special sauces like a mango-habanero and a spicy chutney.
(4)Janina A.
I don't understand the recent negative reviews. I went today with my groupon and I had an excellent experience, yet again. We were told there would be a 30-45 minute wait and we were seated in less than that. Our waiter was awesome! He even brought me a sample of the Angry Orchard hard cider to try..which I loved! Our appetizers came out quick and so did our food. Everything was delicious and the fries were definitely not as salty as the last time we went. Some yelpers say they couldn't get ketchup. I asked for ketchup and got it. In a little condiment cup, not in a spoon. As far as the price, I do not think it is expensive as some other reviews state. It's average pricing for a restaurant. I would say its the same price range as a large chain like Red Lobster or Fridays and the food is MUCH better. I don't see how someone can complain about the price. Try getting a large meal at Mcdonalds...its close to $10 for poison disguised as crappy food! If you don't like the prices on the menu just follow them on facebook..they post specials all the time.

The food is fantastic, the owners are amazing, the restaurant is fun! Run don't walk!

This place is great. I had the Steak Chimi and let me tell you it was fantastic. It has fried plantains inside. Hello! I went with the family and two of us had Mexican while the other two had burgers. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. The service is also great and the place is really nice inside. Looks like a great local spot to have some beers with friends on the weekend. We went on a Sunday and they had the Dolphins game on. Need I say more? Next time I go I'm having a burger. They look sooooo good. Oh yeah, and their beer selection is excellent.

Chimi Burrito Wednesday night at Cigar Lover's on 83rd and bird was amazing!! I was so looking forward to having one and finally a night dedicated to the Chimi! Now you can pick what you want in it and oh I did, ribeye, rice, cheese, grilled mushrooms/onions and plantains. All the good stuff rolled up then fried to perfection. Great crowd of people the service was excellent as always. It was a little slow but it was cause someone ordered 10 Chimi's before us so we had to wait but so worth it. See ya next Chimi Burrito Wednesday @ Cigar Lovers!
(5)Tony L.
The place was cool but the leather in the booths was broken and the table had a leg shorter than the rest and the glass was held togethet by a piece of tape. The food was really oily and practically laying in a soup of oil and grease. The staff was rushing me the whole time. Will never go back. HORRIBLE!!
(1)Marlene S.
The guava & cheese burger was great ! The Mexican to die for! The tostadas delish! The big burger 1/2 was awesome! They took a little long to bring out the food. They can use a little ambiance like sheer shades on the windows do you don't see the shipping plaza parking lot. The bar is beautiful , the music nice and the art on the wall is amazing!the tostadas were fantastic too! I had Carne adada and shrimp
(5)Holly L.
Let me start off by saying our server named Junior was awesome. We were greeted right away. and he made some awesome suggestion. My boyfriend and I went there originally wanting to try their tacos. However, on my first visit with the help of Junior's suggestions, we started off with the regular sneaky nachos and a lobster bisque served in a bread bowl. The nachos were huge for a regular size so I can't imagine how big the large would be. Its a meal by itself. For the main course, I had the international muffin tops (which are pretty much a little bigger than a slider_ 1 for 5.99 or 2 for 10.99) I wanted one sweet and one savory burger so I chose the American[cheese and bacon] and French [brie cheese, sliced almond and honey]. If you are one to like it rare or medium be sure to let the server know because all burgers are cooked medium well. My kids had the chicken rice bowl from the kids menu. It was served with the tangled love and yellow rice. I must say that it was very tasty. We were so full, we didn't have room for dessert. so....... We came back two days later to eat there again. We had Junior again as our server. I wanted to save room for dessert this time. So I didn't order any appetizer. Junior suggested that I try the Masitas. Delicious. It's pretty much a puffy shell with whatever choice of protein you desire. I chose the ribeye and carna asada. I didn't care too much for the ribeye, but the carna asada was flavorful and juicy. My boyfriend had the unlimited taco special for 17.99 per person. (no sharing, no doggy bag, dine in only) This time I had enough room for the dessert. I originally wanted to try the "balls to the wall" but my boyfriend don't care for chocolate so I ordered the cheesecake ball. So I didn't enjoy the dessert as much as I wanted to because I don't really care for cheesecake. so next time, I will try the "balls to the wall" As far as I know on Tuesday are Kids night, Wednesdays are Wine-It-Down, and Thursdays are Karaoke Night. SO FAR, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOOD HERE. Junior hasn't steered us wrong yet. By the way, ask for him. You won't regret it. =)

I moved back 1yr ago from San Francisco where the food truck craze is worlds ahead of what we have here in Miami. But if Food trucks taste this damn good then we have a bright future on our hands!! I've been following another food truck in town that has some delicious fish tacos but I finally stumbled across these guys through twitter. We ordered the Rib-eye Flatton and the chicken tacos! As it was my first time there I let the owner suggest what I should eat and he suggested this bad boy! filled with 3 cheeses, grilled onion and mushrooms, rib-eye and pico de gallo this thing is like a giant food orgasm of flavor! And to top of off they had about 5 different sauces to pour on but they were bit spicy for my taste buds except for the avocado lime sauce and the traditional "crema" sauce. The chicken tacos were good but not excellent! Maybe its because that Flatton threw me in for a spin! The owner was nice enough to let me try the coconut shrimp taco which was topped with fresh pico de gallo and that was phenomenal!! Like someone said in another review the stuff is like crack!! I cant wait to "stalk" them some more. Oh and they take credit-debit cards which is AWESOME!!
(5)Hector M.
My first thought about Latin House Grill was immediately that it's the best burger from a food truck I've had in Miami so far (I've frequented Latin Burger and Yellow Submarine, and tried Gastropod once.) The patty was the best part - chuck and brisket. The chefs say they grind it themselves, and I'm inclined to believe it - it's an incredibly juicy patty and full of flavor. The toppings are nothing to be sneezed at either - the potato comfit and the mango habanero sauce are especially delicious. The burger was just as delicious the second time I tried it. The only thing sort of lacking is the bun - it doesn't hold up well to all the sauces, and gets kind of soggy. Other great things are the sneaky nachos - although next time I'll order them without meat because it made them too heavy -- and the PUFFY TACOS. Definitely a must-try; "puffy" because they deep fry the tortillas, making them puff up but still stay soft. This is NOT a gross chalupa, it's much much better.
(4)Jose B.
Great service !! The owners brother in-law told me about the place so i went there last night the wife and I had a burger and tacos they were delicious 1
(5)Raulito P.
Ok so I will try to keep this one simple. 1) Best burger in Miami! 2) Several micro beers on tap! Full bar also. 3) A desert with chocolate, wrapped in cookie dough, deep fried, topped off with condensed milk and powdered sugar. 4) A personal plus - seconds from home! Latin House is a must.
(5)Jousep S.
Food: Delicious. Service: So-So. Time it took to bring food: Too Long. Things I didn't like: No Ketchup for fries and Pricey. MAD LOVE burger was awesome. I will still go, but they better have their A-game, plus I'm a LHG Stalker.
(4)Andrea G.
Hands down to one of the best restaurants in Miami. A very successful business story which started with a simple food truck! You guys rock and have the BEST FOOD in town!! Delicious
(5)Laura A.
Burgers were perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful...imaginatively prepared and presented. The Sweedos desert is excellent!! The beer and wine menu looked cool. Good atmosphere and look to the place. Service was fine. Looking forward to returning to try more.
(3)Juan R.
Excellent food, You need to try the Steak ChimiBurrito which is a Burrito slightly fried with a lot of flavor. Also the Burgers are excellent. The only thing i don't like its that every time i get utensils they don't give you a knive, i don't understand the logic behind it but when you are using a fork you need a Knive.
(4)John B.
The waiters just don't care.. Maybe Chef S does better in the truck.
(1)Christy H.
As far as food i would give them four stars. BUT if you are hungry or in a hurry do NOT come here. Service was terrible and the owners wife was extremely unprofessional! Never going back there again. We waited 2 HOURS for our food. When we complained we weretold we were not the main priority that evening because there was a larger party obviously giving them more business. The owners wife (beba) or whatever her name is came over and said it was normal for customers to wait 30 min for their food on a busy night. When we told her we had been waiting almost two hours she said she was going to check to see what time we actually placed our order according to the ticket. I guess we looked like liars. She never came back or even acknowledged that we were right. She never appologized. NOTHING. I will never be eting here again. We took our father out to dinner here. Had reservations at 8pm and left the restaurant at 11pm! Im sorry to say, no matter how good your food is, there are way better places with much friendlier service. This is why start up restaurants like this dont last. I'll spend my money elsewhere

Gotta preface this review by saying that I went to school in Philly where there was a very developed food cart/truck network, so I have been really excited by seeing businesses like LHG and Jefe's. So I went to LHG on 89th and Bird on Tuesday night with my mom - I've been facebook stalking these guys for quite a while now and was pretty excited to try their grub. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience but was disappointed with the food. That said, LHG definitely has potential. We tried three things: the burger, a chicken flatton, and carne asada tacos. The burger was probably my least favorite of the three. We ordered it medium rare (mistake?) and the meat was kind of mushy. Nice toppings, but felt too heavy and greasy. Came with seasoned fries because they were having issues with their cooking oil and couldn't get the curly fries right - the fries had good flavor but lacked crunch (see aforementioned oil issue). The chicken flatton was tasty, but didn't knock my socks off. It also felt heavy and greasy...could have used more pico de gallo to offset the chicken and cheese. My mom also complained that the flatton and the burger were too salty. The carne asada tacos were delicious. Very fresh and simple flavors. Tasty. The two sauces, cilantro jalapeno and habanero mango, were excellent. Especially liked the mango sauce - had plenty of heat too! I have to say....a lot of the pictures I see on here look like glamor shots compared to the food I received. Not that mine was unappetizing...but it definitely didn't look as good as these pictures would indicate. We didn't get any avocado, either, although the menu said most items come with it - so that was also disappointing. All that negativity aside, LHG has potential. I want to go back and try their cabo wabo fish tacos - they sound great. The man who operates the truck (unfortunately I didn't get his name) has a lot of love and passion for his business and that definitely comes through (and is much appreciated!!! keep it up, bro!). He was super attentive and answered our many questions with contagious enthusiasm. I think that with more practice and finesse, LHG could be a cornerstone of the Miami mobile culinary scene.

Sorry Latin house, I'm done with the love affair. It seems like each time I go, the service and wait time is getting worst. On this last visit we walk in and there was About 7 empty tables and we had to wait over 20 minutes to sit down. We were the only ones waiting. Next another 20 minutes for waiter to take order. After he takes order he informs us the kitchen is backed up over 40 minutes. At this point we are over 45 minutes in so we decided to stick it out. Well the food easily took about an hour to come out. Like always the food was great. But the bad service, or lack there of service and the horrible wait time has brought you down to one star.
(1)Michael M.
We loved this place. We wanted to find a place where we could bring our 2 dogs while visiting my mom in Kendall. Found this place using my Yelp app on my smartphone. And we are glad we did. Sitting outside at a table on the covered sidewalk a young biy walked up to pet our dogs. We started talking to the boy and found out his parents were the owners. He sat with us and kept us entertained throughout our dinner. What an incredible little ambassador thi young man was. Not olny did we enjoy his company, but when the food came, it was nothing short of a true culinary treat. We will definitely be back.
(4)nick n.
everything on the menu sounds amazing, but it isn't. it all tastes and smells the same, which is terrible. bonus points for having some veggie options. negative bonus points for that scam noodles and shredded potato cop out they give you instead of making real fries. at least they have a few decent beers.
(2)Frances P.
Super yummy! Great beers!
(4)Kenny W.
I remember the first time I ate at their food truck over a year ago. Ever since I've been hooked and loyal to the death. The Chimi burrito is my personal favorite, I get it probably 99% of the time. That's how amazing it is and how willing am I to show up often just for one item on the menu, that says a lot about them. Staff is really nice and they do care about their guests. It's always my first choice when I go out to eat and I would consider it my "hang out" spot. I will go there until the day I die.....too good to resist.
(5)Kim A.
Love this place! So happy I don't have to drive around looking for their food truck anymore. What a great location for their restaurant, and such a nice atmosphere. Try the flatton or the nachos, always amazing.
(5)Susie P.
I love, love the food at Latin House, we live very close to the restaurant and eat there often. The quality of the food is high and so delicious. However, the service is hit or miss, sometimes faster than others. The staff is very friendly but the place definately could use some organization in the kitchen and the speed of the food comming out to the tables. PLEASE BE NICE TO THE HOSTESS SHE IS MY DAUGHTER !!!! Thank you, and BTW, i love the weird fries that come with the burgers, the chuchi bowl is the BEST !!!
(4)Carolina C.
Really good food, but poor service...not sure if I'll be back with my husband and family. We were there on a Sunday and the restaurant was not even packed. There were tables unseated, but yet we had to wait 10 minutes to sit down. Our order for appetizers took 15 mins to come out, and our meals took about 45 minutes. The manager never approached our table to apologize. We also saw several people leave after wating too long for a waiter.
(2)Adam V.
This place is delicious! Everything was good. If you get the tacos make sure one of them is fish. Our waiter Willie recommended we try the frita burger and it was really good, especially if you like a little sweet flavor in your burger. I would definitely check this place out if you haven't already.
(5)Elba D.
My boyfriend recommended this place. I was a little weary because it was in a strip mall. No biggie since there are many great dives to be found. :) The decor here is slightly tacky. But then again these owners come from a food truck business so why worry about decor! The service was a tad slow but again they just have to get their act together. We had the sangria which was refreshing and tasty! Ok good start. We had the famous burgers with the fried egg on top! Served with home made fries. OMG is all I can say! The burger was juicy, savory, scrumptious, yummy. So many more adjectives I can use. We then had dessert! The heavenly Balls to the Wall. Oreos wrapped in a glazed donut and deep fried in dough! With a sauce on top! FOODGASM ALERT! This is one of the best desserts that I have ever tasted. Lets just say that we left stuffed but satisfied! If you don't care about great decor and ambiance but want really good, delicious food, this is the place for you! We will be going back! I can't wait to try their stuffed burritos! YUM
(4)D.F. B.
The entire menu is great! But the ChimiBurrito is a MUST!! All the love that Chef M and his team has for their customers (also affectionately known as Stalkers) is rolled up into this masterpiece!! You will NOT be disappointed!
(5)Roy V.
I was a bit hesitant to visit this place because they are primarily known for their good food truck food. However, I took the advice of my cousin and went this past Saturday. I made the crucial mistake of ordering the mushroom topper burger because I thought it was the regular size. So I ordered the Italian burger which was on point except for the size. I spent 10 minutes looking at the guy next to me devour a regular sized burger while my mouth watered. Much to my displeasure I was quickly brought to reality when the burger I was given was proportioned well if you are the size of an ant. Other than that I believe they need to have a larger selection and some unsweet tea...Everyone has that! I will visit this place again and I will make sure I order the burger according to size!

Beyond disappointed!! Came to eat here today with my family because of race reviews from my father. I was excited to hear that this place was once. Food truck because honestly as a chef myself some if the. Best and most creative food comes from food trucks. We got to the restaurant around 3:40 and w were told that there was a 30 minute wait. Being a Sunday afternoon I wasn't surprised. We gladly waited to the side for our party of 7 to be sat. After 15 mins I went inside to escape the mosquito's and heat and saw that several tables were empty and the outside was full of patrons waiting. This did not sit well but I decided to assume that maybe they were short staffed. While we were waiting we looked at the menus and determined what we were eating as we were in a time crunch since we had a birthday party to attend at 5. We finally sat down a little after 4 and were greeted kindly by our waitress. She took our drink order and food order and since we had 2 small kids I asked that their food be brought out first since they were starving. Our order was simple... 3 orders of the tacos with steak and no avocados, to puffy burgers as they come and a kids chicken nuggets and a kids rice and chicken. Our drinks came pretty promptly, but that was about it. We finally got our food at 5:47, after watching every other table be sat, order, eat and leave. At this point I was beyond upset and our waitress wouldn't even look at us. As a matter of fact the manager (a husky woman counting drawers who I assumed was the manager) standing only a few feet away wouldn't even look at us. After the first 30 mins we watched several confused servers bring the wrong food from Table to table and patron to patron Asking whether they ordered it. I assume after a plate of nachos was declined by every table as we saw (clearly a mishap by the kitchen) the cold nachos were brought to our table and offered as complimentary. We accepted because we were starving, and I'm happy because our food took an additional 40 mins. Finally my father walked up to the manager and told her we've been waiting over and hour and were starving, to which she shrugged and said it was coming out soon. At no point did she even go in the kitchen. Even for a food truck this is poor etiquette. Finally our food arrived and my tacos were too salty and cold. At this point the waiter my dad previously had and raved about, Willy, came over and we expressed our dismay. He arrogantly replied, "but the food is really good so it makes up for everything" I'm sure that's real cute, but not when I've been waiting over an hour for tacos! He then gave us the excuse that they got a new fryer that takes longer to cook, and that the place is always busy and something about Guy Fieri.... I told him Yes, the food is good but not good enough for me to wait all that time and that we should have been told from the beginning. I told him I'm a chef and went to school for hospitality and culinary and have worked in all sorts of establishments and the manager at least comes to speak with the guests. His smart ass response was "well if you went to school then you know it's not the servers fault it's the kitchen !" Sorry, I don't see how you can be so rude to a disgruntled guest and honestly to think the food will make up for the HORRIBLE experience then he is sadly mistaken! And to top it all off the place is OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED!!!!!! $14 for steak tacos that are too salty and cold!!! If I could give this place no stars I would have! I will never go back and I will discourage as many people as possible to not bother with this headache. To get to a restaurant at 3:40 and leave at 6 is ridiculous.

Great spot. The queso fondue was delicious and the tacos superb. We sat at the bar for dinner and craft beers, Yani the bartender was very friendly and made good beer recommendations. We'll be back!
(4)Andres P.
Food trucks are all the rage, but this one takes the cake! Visited Latin House Grill last night and was very pleasantly surprised. The "flatton" was wonderful, the meat tender and best of all where the string fries. The sauces are fantastic, if you are in the mood for a bit of spice try the habanero sauce. We also tried the chicken tacos and they were very good.
(4)Ana P.
I went yesterday and thought the food was good, not great BUT was completely shocked at their "10 % gratuity on take out and to-go orders" are you kidding me? Gratuity for what-cooking the food? Thats an insult and I'll never go back again.
(3)Alex L.
Give it up to LHG for taking an old idea, the roach coach and turning it into the standard for today's food truck craze. I had the Madlove Burger with all the toppings and their new Habanero Mango sauce...Awesome! The burger was big and juicy, even though I asked for it medium-rare and it came medium. I guess since we were the first one's to order, Chef M was prepping the kitchen and left the burger on just a little too long. No worries, it was still amazing. It came with Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, caramelized onions, avocado and homemade Brioche buns made that morning. Of course, it was topped with the best crispy string fries ever. The Habanero Mango sauce had a nice kick to it but not too hot to over power the other flavors of the burger. My wife had the ChimiBurrito. It came with yellow rice, maduros, fried egg, carne asada with the flakiest crust on a burrito I've ever seen. Although my wife liked it, half way through she noticed that it was the wrong order. She asked for no egg and it came with an egg. Also, she asked for the sauce on the inside and there was no sauce. She also noticed that there was a pool of grease at the bottom of the plate that looked like a mixture from the oil of the cheeses had filtered through the yellow rice. Again, we think because we were the first ones to order, either she got someone else's ChimiBurrito or the order was misread. She also thought it could have had a little more carne asada. Either way, it was still very tasty. Next time my wife isn't going to play around, she's ordering the Madlove! About LHG - Friendly service, great prices, clean and organized kitchen. And to Chef M and the rest of the gang, keep doing what you're doing! Add two more "Food Stalkers" to your list!!!

I've seen Latin House Grill around a lot, but didn't try them until Thursday night at Tropical Park. My friend and I both ordered the Shrimp Taco box which came with 3 shrimp tacos and tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese. It cost $13, but let me tell you, the flavor was amazing on those tacos! It must be the sauces they use; I think there were two different kinds. There was this creamy lime flavor that just hit the spot, every time. I would have loved if they did something more with their "nachos" though. I'm not a fan of nacho cheese. If they sprinkled a little bit of cheddar on warm baked chips and maybe included some salsa, I'd be a happy camper.

I was so excited to try this place as the reviews made it sound amazing. I was in town with my family for a cruise. We got to the restaurant around 8:45 pm on a Friday night. Miami Heat game was on so I expected a little wait. We only waited for about 10 minutes for a table. So took our drink order which was just a few waters. After we finally decided what we wanted the waiter took our appetizer, and main dish order. After about 20 to 30 minutes the waiter came out and told us they were out of the appetizer we ordered. So we decided on another and he said OK. We waited another 20 minutes and the waiter came back and said it would be right out because were were the next in line so to speak. Mind you we saw many other people getting food in the meantime. So finally he came back again and said they were really backed up and it would be another half a hour for the appetizer. So the manager or part-owner came and got us the appetizer out right away and "on the house". We asked for our burgers to be made to-go, because we had somewhere to go. After eating about half of the appetizer, which was quite tasty, the waiter came out and asked us if we wanted our burgers to-go and we said yes we all ready told the other lady this. We also mentioned we did not want to wait another hour for them. The part-owner was in the area and she said she would go check. She then came and said it would be probably more then 15 minutes. We just told them no and up and left. How would this food take another 15 minutes to get to us after we had all ready been in there about a hour and a half since we put the food order in and other people were getting their food. I understand this restaurant was only open 3 weeks, but they should think of going back to the truck. I was so excited to try this place, but waited all most 2 hours to get some nachos for free, because we all ready waited too long. No food is this good where you have to wait that long. If we are ever back in town we will not come back to this place. The place we tried the night before was a 100 times better and faster. It was called Pincho Factory Inc.

New Year's Day boredom and hunger led me to this food truck. They were serving a new menu item, the Thick W, which is "a Jumbo Thick Kosher Hot Dog on brioche bun, topped w lots of LOVE, fries and a drink" ($10). Also the muffin top burgers which are "mini" burgers. I put the mini in quotations because biting these burgers took quite an effort from how tall they are. Both of these items were extremely delicious although I felt that they were a bit expensive. I would make this a regular lunch spot were it not for the price but this will not stop me from coming. I just won't come on a regular basis though. More like a once a month thing. If you have never come to a food truck, this is a really relax and chill atmosphere. You order your food, sit down and talk while you wait for it and get to meet new people if you want. Its a change from the constant sit down restaurants that I really enjoy. My favorite part of the meal was the Balls to the Walls which is brownie dipped in funnel cake and fried dipped in condensed milk. This was probably top 3 in desserts for me. I wish I could explain how good it is but words escape me. I plan to return and try some more menu items next time. I just wish they would lower the prices a bit.

This was my second time there. First time, I was only able to have mashed potatoes and lobster bisque and both were great. Went back only to be disappointed by the greasy food. Their signature Mad Love Burger was oozing with oil and the chorizo flutton not spectacular. I must admit, the waiter did recommend the flutton with rib eye but I thought it was more like a pizza with chorizo sprinkled on top and it is more like a chalupa. The desert took forever to get to the table although it was delicious. The waiter was too efficient...border line rude...when filling my daughter's water glass he literally pulled it out of her hand while she was drinking the water!!!! I agree with a previous comment, that they seem somewhat unorganized. When we went the first time, they had run out of ice cream by 7:00PM on a Friday evening. The carne asada tacos, the lobster lollipops, lobster bisque and mashed potatoes were outstanding.

Best food truck in Miami. My personal favorite. Delicious food,, and great people run this truck.
(5)Vladimir I.
This is one of the best. I have been a fan since they had their food truck. I use to drive all around miami to eat from them. Now that they have their own place i can go any time. You can't go wronf with anything on the menu. The Burgers are fantastic (Cuban favorite & mad lov). The chimi is also great and of course the fish tacos.
(5)Tony P.
i love this place soooo much !!!1
(5)Jenaia F.
Just had my first food truck experience and it was a GREAT one, I'm happy to report. Both the fish taco & carne asada taco were to die for ... Absolutely delicious!! Just say YES to the pico de gallo and insane hot sauce... you won't regret it. Guess I'm officially a "stalker"!!!!
(5)Sun S.
We ordered a burger (original) & the vaca Frita burrito. The burger was awesome & juicy! The burrito tasted great too. For dessert, ordered the "elephant ears/ice cream/cheese cake" it was delicious! It is actually called something else but I forgot.
(5)Joe C.
Ok here it is ... first off come hungry the portions are plentiful. Now the trick is to follow them on Facebook so you can keep up with location and menu items. Chef M is a great guy with a real heart of gold ... he's always smiling.. I would recommend them any chance I get!

Theres nothing better than this truck!!!!! One of the owners and head chef, Michelle, is a very nice, honest and genuine individual. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and interested in how his customers experience their food. He works there with his wife. We went on a Friday night and ordered Sneaky Nachos and the special of any 3 mini-burgers with fries and a drink. Omg, best mini-burgers of my LIFE. Burger options are Mexican, Italian, French, American, Swiss, Bulgarian, and I think one more. The French comes with honey, almonds and brie. (The best one!!) The Italian has some sun dried tomatoes and the Bulgarian has jalapenos. FYI: for the hot sauce lovers out there, they have a habanero-mango hot sauce that will knock your socks off it's so hot (seriously, be careful.) Excellent customer service. Amazing food. Enjoyable experience. My favorite food truck. PERIOD. Totally worth tracking on twitter.

I had read the review for LHG on Burger Beasts site, and luckily they were in my area for lunch. Drove out, and there was a small crowd when I arrived. Took about 10 minutes to order and get food. I ordered the puffy ribeye flatton with extra pico de gallo. It was spectacular! I slathered that bad boy with the mango habañero and crema sauce. It was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. The gourmet sliders looked delicious. I will try those next time. On a side note, there was some entertainment provided free of charge by the sauce area. Some yuppie was not using the proper technique to apply the mango habañero sauce to his meal. He was squeezing the bottle when the nozzle was clogged with a piece of habañero. He squeezed so hard the whole thing exploded, taking him and an innocent bystander out in a wave of habañero fury! They were both drenched and looked in pain from the sauce getting in their eyes! It was classic!

Coming from the best food truck, it is now one of the best restaurants in Miami. I went to the food truck for the first time in September of 2010 and became an avid stalker since then. Now with the restaurant, which is 5 minutes away from my house, I am able to go any day I want. I have been to this restaurant at least 30 times without exaggeration. It is incredible. Love everything they have on the menu. They serve the best burgers you will ever eat anywhere. Each Mad Love burger is made with, you guessed it... Mad Love, along with anything else on the menu. One of my favorite things to eat is the Chimi Burrito, stuffed with jumbo flour tortilla, rice, three types of cheeses, and maduros, which you can have with the protein of your choice (vaca frita, ribeye, carne asada, chicken, shrimp, etc). The Chimi is huge and always gets me full. Sometimes I even save the other half for later. For dessert, I always get the Balls to the Wall that come in two and are chocolate filled with condensed milk. Amazing. Even better if you get it with ice cream. They have a great selection of beer and wine also. The service has been great every time I go. Always receive my food in good time. At the busiest hour with a full house (like during a heat game), I have waited at the most about an hour to get my food, which is understandable. During quieter times, I usually receive my food in around 15 minutes. Also, they are still under their SOFT opening. When they finally have their GRAND opening, it is going to be even better. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Why didn't we come here sooner? Between the two of us, we got the chimi burrito and the original 1/2 pound burger. HOLY S*^^# they were both damn good. The fried cheesecake ball just could not be avoided - that went down very quickly as well. Only minor quibble was the service. Started out great (our entrees were served in 10 minutes) - however, after devouring our meal it took 20 min for him to come back and take our dessert order [even though he knew we were interested in the cheesecake] and then another 15-20min to prepare the dessert. He tried to give me the "Oh well they make it fresh and the cheesecake has to be scooped out and flash fried yada yada" - but come on, it's not a soufflé. I'd still give it all 5 stars - food was awesome and we'll definitely be back.
(5)Karla M.
Was hesitant to try this place but I'm glad I did. We got seated right away. The food came fast and it was delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I had the Carne asada tacos and they were amazing! I will definitely come back.
(4)Ceci S.
My fiance and I tried LHG after reading such great reviews and we are happy we did! It was very tasty, delicious and you can tell the food is made with love. I had the puffy flatton with churrasco and my fiance had the chimi burrito with rib eye, we are definitely going back to try some of their other goodies.
(5)Maria P.

(5)eglys h.
can not find the true words to describe this wonderful experience my palate has had!!! you can not go wrong with anything from this food truck... lets start with the service:: amazing with a smile and quick - everyone is wonderful - from the young lady who took our order, to the cook when told to cook mines a bit more (like it well done) to the Magic Hand Man in window who threw on the final touches on my sliders.... tonite hubby & i were on a mission to final try their actual food. in the past we have had the churros with teasers and we knew we had to try food!! we went with the special being offered of the 2 sliders (any one from their off the wall menu - The Cuban a burger with Guava & cheese?? really?next time for sure!) tonite we went with the French - a muffin top burger topped with BRIE MELTED CHEESE, HONEY (YES THE DELICIOUS SWEET STUFF) and ALMONDS!! lets say my mouth went into a blast of happiness, mouthwatering, finger licking frenzy!!! once i bit into this slider it felt like walking on a culinary cloud nine!!! you could taste each individual flavor and then how each made each other be a movie star!!! the melted brie cheese hugged the hole burger patty like a warm gooey blanket, drizzled with sweet honey which was an amazing enhancement for the cheese and the almonds on top was the crunchy finally to wrap this small wonder into a scrupcious delicacy!! we then chose the Italian slider as our second. this too was on a muffin top bun topped with provolone cheese melted and then delicious toppings went on such as pepperoni sliced thin fresh julienned basil and a sauce!!! VIVA ITALIA! it was just as amazing as the first!!! the deal provides for various options. we had 2 sliders, fries (which were also good) and 1 coke for $10. - not bad at all. we will be keeping up with the food truck and look forward to the new and upcoming combinations we were told about - like a Greek slider!!!!! all food is done with not only amazing ingredients, but with care and love!!!! how the continue to do as well as they are and continue to provide us with amazing goodies!!
(5)Alex P.
So I ended up going last night to try the Fish Tacos. I went there with a rather large order for the fam, and one specific request from my wife: She wanted to try the Fish Taco too. So I ordered two of them. The cook insisted we try the Fish taco there so he could see our reaction. Needless to say, we had to order another two, the first two weren't leaving that parking area! Amazing flavor, and extremely fresh, but then again so is all of the food there! The mini sliders and chimiburrito were sublime! And the deserts.. WOW!!! I'm not a big sweets person, but the "balls to the wall" were out of hand!!! This was my second visit to LHG, but definitely not my last! Keep up the fantastic work!
(5)Christopher G.
Great Truck great variety of food and yummy! highly recommed them. other trucks were good too, except one friend got bad diarrhea from eating at Havana Rice truck ,which was "arroz con Pollo a la chorrera" why he ate that is beyond me, why would anyone eat that from a food truck .so many other better choices, why get full on a cheap food, I only eat this at home or when someone invites me over to their home. all the other trucks we tried were awsome and worth the trip!
(5)Nicole B.
Showed up excited to pig out on my 1st cheat day for my new diet. A 20 minute wait on a Friday night seemed reasonable. What I DIDN'T understand, however, was why we weren't seated even though there were well over 8 empty tables in my immediate eye sight. The hostess awkwardly asked us to get out of the way (mind you, we had a 1 year old with us and all the accoutrements that a 1 year old requires for a "peaceful" dinner to occur), asking us to wait outside (under cover, although there was a monsoon in full swing) or at the bar (with a 1 year old, on a stool). Management didn't want the entrance "blocked" she said. She then proceeded to explain that her manager had asked her not to seat any additional parties because she had previously sat too many people back to back and it was slowing down the kitchen. TRANSLATION: "I have no idea what I'm doing, and neither does the rest of the staff. These tables and chairs are just decorations. Don't mind them. Oh yeah, and my manager, my manager, my manager, blah blah blah ..." You get the picture. Was finally seated, ordered (2 sliders + the grilled chimiburrito, which has changed my life in the past, might I'd add...) The food came out quickly and was warm (hence, 1 of the 2 stars). The Burgers and homemade chips were fantastic (the 2nd star), but the chimi was an unedible disaster of salt, salt, and more salt with dried, day-old meat mixed with cheese and little to no rice. I was beyond confused and convinced that my taste buds were betraying me. I couldn't muster a third bite and was saved by my husband's willingness to be a good catholic and share his plate with me. After speaking to the manager (cause duh, Homegirl came around to ask how everything was), and explaining the disaster that had ensued on my plate, she offered dessert (no thanks, I filled up on my husbands slider and chips). She then offered to discount the burrito after assuring me that she'd go back to taste "the batch" (code for god knows what). Let's just say that I was pretty amazed to see that $2.40 had been discounted from my check and I was still being charged for the salt - I mean, burrito. OOOOHH RREEEAAAALLLYY ?!? No. After some back and forth, she finally removed the full charge, but it took way more work than it should have. I left feeling sad, cheated, and very, very thirsty. So disappointing because this place is literally 5 minutes away from my home and there's really nothing like it in the area.

I have been to their location twice and multiple times to the food truck a few years ago. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The tiger shrimp ceviche which I'm having today is absolutely delicious. The shrimp is chunky and the kick they give it is just right. It's not spicy but with a kick. A definite must have. The white sangria is very good too. Do NOT get me started on the Elvis. They have taken the pb and j to another level. However.. That is a meal I will probably have once a quarter. Fried plantains, cheese, patty and pb and j. It is the perfect mix! The service both times I've been has been great. So DELICIOUS!!! The location is very hip. However, the booths are a little awkward. Towards the right, the booths are too spaced out. I had to switch booths because there was too much space between me and and the table. They have tvs, the artwork on the walls is amazing. We will definitely be coming here to catch some heat games. Everything is delicious!
(4)Eric I.
Great food. The best food!!! Ok service. Cool vibe. LOOOOONGG FOOD WAIT TIMES. seriously though, this would be 5 stars if I didn't have to wait 30 mins for my apps and 50 minutes for food.
(3)Vanessa L.
The food here is good and so is the service but there was nothing out of this world about this restaurant. I do remember the food being very greasy which was a negative. Not wowed but no complaints either. It was just a meh experience. I like greasy just like everyone else but not when it gives me heart burn. I give it three stars.
(3)Oscar O.
Great food great service great mix of food the best thing i like is the different textures, flavors and great customer service like i said in the beginning. Not the same as pines blvd restaurant. Must visit dont vist the one in pines food doesnt taste the same and the service is definitely not the same. Gooooooooooo to the one in sunset only everyone you will be very happy.
(5)Jennifer R.
Food was amazing and the server was so helpful! !!! Wish I lived closer because this spot is one of the best!!!

Was super packed and the service wasn't that great the night we were there... but the atmosphere was fun and the food was delicious. I will definitely go back and try it again.
(4)Fergie A.
So good! So yummy ! And our waiter Jorge (or George) was really nice and friendly and helpful on our first visit! Can't wait to go back!
(5)Cary J.
The jumbo burrito. Omg. Plan on 2 things. 1 plan on sharing it. It is a beast 2 plan on using a fork and knife.. Can't hold this burrito.. Don't order tacos... Rock that burged on 72nd has the world's best .. Plan on a wait Other than that 4 stars..
(4)Nachi D.
The food used to be great when they first opened and we used to go often...service was great and the convenient location close to home was an added bonus. Last time I went, my heart broke. Service was slow...so slow I left without eating after 45 minutes of waiting. I had actually considered not going based on the time before this visit when the food was just...not worth the wait! But again, convenience drew me back. We had kids in our party and I think 45 mins for food is insulting for an adult, let alone a child!!! Nothing was offered!!!!! And lord knows I wouldn't have ordered anything after 30 mins of waiting cause I don't know of I would've ever gotten it. Needless to say, the original greatness of the muffin tops shall remain a memory...with a sad feeling!

Food was tasty, service was so-so. First time here, met up with some old friends to catch up. This restaurant is very spacious, a lot of seating, and the type of restaurant where it's a ok to be little loud because the seating is spread out. All of my friends and I got something different to eat and we pretty much killed our plates. I got the Puffy Flatton: puffy flat bread with your choice of protein (ribeye all the way!), tomatoes, lettuce, and this delish avocado cilantro sauce. One of my friends got the same thing but just on a grilled flatbread. Both dishes get served with tortilla chips on the side. No sauces, so we asked for guacamole (which is an extra $2) but worth it! Their guac is awesomeeee! Every dish comes with your choice of protein, so there's a lot of options. Beef, chicken, pork, etc. And please try the dessert Balls to the Walls! UH-MAH-ZING. It's similar to a molten lava cake. Now on to the service, I'm not sure if our waitress was new or.. Idk. She was nice but clueless. We ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer and we never got it. By the time we mentioned it to our waitress our entrees were already coming out, and she seemed shocked to know we didn't get it, but we just ended up canceling it. She took forever and a day with ringing up our bill and the restaurant wasn't that busy.. So I can't really give her that. Besides the whatever service, I would go back there to try the other foods. Hopefully the service will be better tho.
(3)Rebecca G.
We ordered from here tonight a take out order. The girl on the phone told me it would be 30 min.! My husband went to pick it up and had to wait another THIRTY MINUTES! I've recommended Latin House to so many of my friends and family but after tonight I'm done! There was no apology from a manager ... NOTHING!
(1)Walt D.
Amazing food. The carne asado was delicious. Beer towers are available too.
(5)Riselda R.
I really wanted to like this place, so it pains me to write this review. I was so excited to come here after following the business on FB and seeing all the pictures of their yummy looking food. We arrived on a Sunday night around 8:30pm. There were patrons there but the place was not full. We wanted to sit at a booth and there were several available, but all needed to be cleaned. Waited for a bit for staff to clean the area. It shouldn't take that long to wipe down a table and sweep. We were finally seated after 10 minutes. Then we just waited and waited. No one came to take a drink order. There were a couple of employees that looked like servers just standing around and talking. There was a server near us that never looked our way. We eventually decided to walk out. No one stopped us and asked how they could help. It was a miserable experience. Good food is important but service is just as well. I realize that making a transition from a food truck to a restaurant may not be easy, but the lack of attention to this very important detail (service) is baffling. Maybe I will give them a shot one more time once the taste of that experience has worn off.

kids quesadilla was much better than adult food. had a juicy burger, but so plain. the avocado lime crema is so minimal, a few lines on the tomatoes. they don't have pickles, even if you ask. they don't have mustard, even if you ask. the fries aren't really fries, they're somewhere between string fries and potato chips and very very greasy. just not good enough to go back.
(1)Karen S.
My boyfriend and I have been to this restaurant 3 times in the past few months and the food has always been really good. The services is nothing to brag about, but it is not horrible either. The place is clean and we have been seated and served within reasonable time even though we have arrived all three times during busy dinner hours. Our overall experiences has been good, but the food is definitely the reason why we have come back.
(4)Rose P.
The food is über-fresh, it's incredible. Creative spins on traditional everyday foods is what makes this joint unique. I come here at least twice per month and each item on the menu is prepared as if it were the only item. Top-notch quality food, delicious flavors & textures, great service....awesome sangria....and Balls to the Wall desert? Lets just say I have hot dreams about them Balls! This his my top 5 favorite restaurant in Miami by far....
(5)Matthew L.
I've been a long term follower since their food truck days. They've got one of the best burgers and that's what I mainly go for. On peak nights(Fri-Sun) expect to wait quite some time to be seated (20-30 min) and get your food delivered (45-60min). In the past you would be able to sit at the bar and order from the menu but this has now changed that you can only order drinks and appetizers. Any who the food quality is great and fresh.
(3)Aida P.
This place is so good! When I'm here I wish my stomach was bigger (just kidding) I have been here several times and ordered different things and have liked everything so far! You can tell the chef takes pride in his craft. I have never had to wait to be seated. I have also ordered to go and it's been great. There is always parking available. I am here at least once a month. I just forget to check in
(5)Matthew P.
Always a great experience! Friendly staff, quick service, great food! Highly recommend the Orginal burger, it's unfortunate they removed the twisted love fries off their menu.
(5)Miri D.
My husband and I treated his parents for lunch on Father's Day. They were first-timers and loved the food. I got my usual chimi, which as always, was amazing to the very last bite. I went with carne asada instead of rib eye this time. I felt the carne asada was full of flavor, much better than the rib eye, in my opinion. Our waiter today was great. He was on top of things, by always coming over and checking on us and making sure we had refills. I will keep coming!
(5)Diego G.
We had the fried cheese with Guava, the original burger, the frita, and various tacos. The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert (brownie balls) didn't let us down either. A must try!
(5)Yay P.
Nice mix of burgers, beers, and Mexican for a good price...nice decor as well

I had the Madlove queso Fondu. Awesome. For my main course, chicken tostada. Double awesome. Plus they were really nice to my infant son. Definitely recommend!

Great food and service. Definately one of the best burgers I've had in my life. Pricey but worth it in my opinion.
(4)Nicolás J.
I ate here last night for the first time with three other people and was pretty unimpressed (the other three in my party agreed). The service really was pretty good. The hostess and server were friendly, things came out in a pretty reasonable time. The nachos were very good (we had them with vaca frita). But if this place is about the burgers, it really did fall short. Our table had 4 burgers: two fritas, one Elvis and a fourth that I forget. The best word I can think of for the fries: obnoxious. They don't taste like much and, more importantly, are not fries. It's more of a heaping mound of potato chip crumbs. These might make a decent burger topping, but a side item they are not. This was an absolute consensus at our table, and from the look of the reviews here, we're not alone. We all also agreed that this place goes way over the top with the toppings. The frita burger had too much of that guava ketchup (which was also too sweet for our liking), and they went about 3 times too heavy on the peanut butter and jelly in the elvis burger. I'm all about going to a place for something overindulgent, but if I'm ordering a burger, I want to taste the meat first. When you have a layer of peanut butter almost as thick as the burger and there are globs of jelly coming out of your burger, it's just not fun anymore. Why is there jelly in an "Elvis" to begin with? I should have asked they leave it off. I wouldn't refuse to come back here if a friend wanted to go, but it would never occur to me to go back. There are too many other great options in the area.

OMFG this place is not Latin Burger (@latinburger) the locally famous burger and taco truck! This is @latinhousegrill - totally different. I feel like a freakin' fool. We went here thinking that it was that Latin Burger and Taco everyone keeps talking about and were really confused when we were so disappointed with our experience. To make matters more confusing this restaurant had a food truck at one point. Other yelpers talked about how their truck food was so amazing on this page. So I thought, "Hey, the restaurant is probably just as good as the truck." Well, let me tell you it's not going to be "just as good" if it's the WRONG freaking company! This review is for Latin House and NOT Latin Burger and Taco, which I will seek out in the near future. I was disappointed by the burger and chimi. My friend was pleased with the burger. I had half of the burger and found a extremely weird texture to the beef. It had big, chewy chunks throughout the patty. At times, I felt like they had used that weird meat glue stuff to assemble their patties. It didn't even taste like beef. It was spongy and strange. I had half of the chimi (fried burrito) which was alright. It looked very impressive coming to the table. It was cut beautifully in half at a diagonal, unfortunately there was a substantial pool of oil at the bottom of the plate and there was much fried beef to be found in the chimi. It was mainly rice. Otherwise, it was tasty. A little pricey but much better than the burger. Service was attentive but our table was a little too close to the area where all the servers gather and gossip. Seeing the windex bottle on the bar placed an inch away from several water pitchers (pitchers that refill your water glasses) was not too appetizing. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is nice. I really like all the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.

My siblings and I came here around 8pm on a Sunday night with a sweet tooth craving. I have had their burgers and the famous balls to the wall ( which is a deep fried brownie) so that is what we were desperately needing. The restaurant was fairly empty with less than a dozen patrons scattered throughout. We were seated promptly which was good, but we waited about 15 minutes before our server first came to see us. When he did arrive though, he was very helpful and friendly. And now for the food. We ordered the taqueria calle tacos ( one carne asada, one chicharrone, one bbq and one ribeye), balls to the wall, and the fried madagascar vanilla dough. The balls to the wall and fried madagascar vanilla dough were outstanding, perfect "sweet tooth craving" food. Make sure to get it with vanilla ice cream to balance out the chocolatey gooiness. Just writing about it makes me want to sink my teeth into fried chocolate heaven. Unfortunately, this is not where the review ends. The tacos that came were extremely sub-par. The pico de gallo was fresh, the tortillas were not bad and the sauces were okay, but each of the meats tasted like they were cooked in the morning. All the meats were dry, lacking flavor and chewy, except for the bbq one which I think was because the massive amount of bbq sauce masked the meat. I had better tacos at taco bell. So it took a long time to place our orders and the tacos were something I would serve my dog, but our waiter was nice (once he showed up) and the desserts were excellent. I have had their burgers from the food truck before and they were delicious, so next time I come here I will order what they are known for. I will be updating this review once I go back. *Best Dish - Balls to the wall*

Ok. So I was kind of hesitant to go back, but I gotta say we all ad a great time this time around. It was a co worker's birthday and we went on a Wednesday during lunch time. The service was pretty great and the food was nothing less than AWESOME (Like always)!! Me & the birthday girl shared a rib eye chimi burrito and it was sooo good! :) We got our food within a timely manner and the owner even came by to say hello and introduce himself. We had a great time! They even comped the Birthday Balls!! I wouldn't hesitate to go back again, maybe this time during dinner. If you've had a bad experience before, give it another shot. I did and I WILL be coming back again!! Thanks LHG!!

Terrible service . I asked for a burger with no cheese , onions or mushrooms . Everything was still on there . I ask to remove the onions and mushrooms. The server has every single one of the toppings removed . We ask what happened to the toppings . He says I took it all off. We ask for the toppings back. He brings out bacon laid on a napkin and sets in on the table , we ask to bring the rest of them too, and he dashed away and wouldn't listen. Terrible.

Worst service in Miami. No joke; I called the other day 26 times to order pickup and no one picked up. So I ordered through Delivery Wow and they called me back and told me that no one was picking up, so they had to cancel my order. This was last Saturday afternoon. This weekend, i bit again. This time, they picked up and I placed my order. When I got there, there was a lady with her kid that was waiting to be seated. Despite half of the restaurant being empty, they told her, she'd have to wait because the other side of the restaurant was closed. Really? On a weekend, in the afternoon, you have a section of your restaurant closed? And you can't sit down a woman with a small child in one of the empty tables? Ridiculous. So, back to my order; when I placed my order, they told me it would be 35 minutes, tops. True to Latin House Grill form, my food was finally ready for pick up an hour and a half after I ordered it. Can you imagine why a half empty restaurant took an hour and a half to put together 2 meals? Me neither. Anyways, so when I was waiting for my food, i got to observe why their service is so bad... they constantly have drink orders from the servers and the servers then have to wait for someone else to put together those drink orders. Problem is that there is no full time bar tender. I don't understand why the servers cant just pour the drinks themselves or at least have a full time bar tender. The girlt that they had behind the bar that day was completely out of it. Someone ordered as espresso, and she literally, read order, pressed the button, and stood in front of it as the coffee brewed, instead of pouring a coke or a beer or something else. Amazingly horrible. While I was waiting for my order, there were people sending their food back, people who got the wrong orders, one lady's burger was overcooked and when they offered to make her another one, she said, there's no way I'm waiting another hour for a burger. This place has gone downhill fast. Horrible service by an incompetent staff. Food takes forever, drinks take forever. If you want to go spend a few hours at a place and wait forever for everything, go here. You wont see me there.

What a horrible experience!! 1- they were out of most of their beers. I ended up having to order water because they just didn't have any of their menu's beers that I Would like 2- they were out of the "mad love" How can a restaurant be out of their menu's main item? 3- the kitchen was so backed up that my simple order (a frita) took a whole hour. 4- considering my severe state of hunger, I ordered an item called "pig wings" which ended up being en epic fail! The Asian flavor just didn't mesh well with the type of rib cut they used. I took it back, just as I would at any other restaurant yet ended up having to pay for half of it.

Waiting an hour for tacos is absurd when Tuesday night is their Taco Tuesday Special. What made the whole experience worse was when we called over the manger to point out that we had waited that long, instead of apologizing and offering us something, she made a poor excuse. And then I almost fell out of my seat when our waiter asked if we would like to see the desert menu. "Hell no" I wanted to get out of there... Tacos are not exactly fine dining and an hour and a half dinner for mediocre at best tacos is not my idea of grabbing a bite.

Went yesterday (Friday, March 7th) to this establishment. I arrived with my boyfriend at approximately 9p. We were greeted by the hostess at the door. One thing that sort of soured my first impression is that it smells like grease as soon as you walk in. I guess that can be a good thing (they're cooking the food fresh) or bad thing (who wants to smell grease upon walking in). We sat and looked over the menu to see what we wanted to try. I decided on the four taco entree (Taqueria Calle Tacos). I ordered 2 with fish tempura and 2 with the chicken. My boyfriend ordered the Masitas one with the rib eye and one with chicken. The service was on the slow side but I chalked it up to it being packed on a Friday night.The food arrived and it looked delicious. We dug in and enjoyed every bite. The protein was well prepared and was packed with flavor. Also, the other flavors blended well together. Also, the beer and wine selection was extensive for a restaurant of this kind. I can easily say someone can find something they like from the beer and wine menu. I will for sure return to try other things on the menu. Other notes -Our waiter, Kevin, was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was also very attentive.

I can't get enough of this place!! Everytime i go, i try something different and i have yet to be disappointed. Absolutely delicious and the ambiance is pretty neat as well. Definitely would recommend!!!

This is my 3rd time here and the Luster and quality has gone down. I talked up this place before taking a good friend this weekend, but it didn't live up to the Hype I gave it...we ordered the Chunks and Butterflies on the waiters recommendation and the Butterflies were the shrimp which where ehhh. The Shrimp were in that chili sweet sauce(like McDonalds), the Chunks were ripe-eye little pieces, but you can tell they have been sitting a while and were not fresh. Expensive too for an apprizer at $12. Our Waiter seemed to bit pushy with the Frita burger that he was pushing. My wife ordered one, and a guava one, but the waiter kept pushing the Frita burger and also most made her order two of the Frita instead of the Guava one she really wanted. Even at the end of the night, when we said it was good, he was like "see I told you, next time listen to me". My friend and I ordered the Taqueria Calle which is a choice of 4 tacos. I ordered 2 ribeyes, 1 carneasada, and 1 vacafrita, and boy did they disppoint for both of us. I ordered them last time and they were fresh, delious, and memorable. But this time they were dry, not fresh, and something you can get from a taco stand.

Discovered these guys back when they use to be a food truck and fell in love with it. The only hip place in the Westchester / Kendall area where you can get a quality beer along with a great burger or taco! The food is awesome from people that really care about their product. Whatever you order order it with a side of the mango habanero spread on the side or if you think you got the balls for it ask for the Ghost pepper tacos!! Talking about balls their "Balls to the wall" dessert is a must! Love the food, love the atmosphere, honestly it is my personal happy place!! Thank you guys for opening this awesome place near my house!! Now I don't have to drive to Brickell to go to a nice, casual place!!

Liked: The service, the décor. Didn't like: The food, the owner's decisions about what the customer is permitted to have. I went to the Latin House based on their claim of "Best burger in Miami 3 years in a row." This didn't crack my Top 10 for best burgers. It could be the mix of meat they use - sirloin, chuck, and brisket. I love sirloin, chuck is ok, and I can't stand brisket. That alone might be why I found this burger lacking. (If you like all three kinds of meat, you might like it more than I did.) Also, they have these creative thin-cut spiral fried potatoes. They looked really appetizing when the plate arrived, and I could not wait to try them. They came to the table warm-to-cool, and only about one-third were crispy - the rest were soggy (i.e. undercooked). I mentioned this to the water, who, to his credit, went back and brought me a new plate - this one only slightly warmer (nowhere near hot) and just as many undercooked. I also find it interesting when owners choose what their customers are permitted to have. I ordered coffee, but was told they don't have coffee. I looked on the menu and saw that they have espresso and cappuccino but... really? No regular coffee? Also, when the burger came, I asked for yellow mustard. The waiter told me that they don't have any "mustards" because "the owners want their burgers to be enjoyed with their own sauce creations." In this case, for this customer, I knew better - their sauce was sort of bland, and the burger would have been better (for me, anyway) with mustard. I won't be going back to Latin House, but I've found when the owners are so arrogant as to decide what the customers get to have, they don't really care that customers like me don't come back.

So...don't ask me why but I gave LHG a 3rd shot...if you want TERRIBLE service give them a visit. Similar to many other reviews, the food tasted great but the service was terrible. My wife and I stood at the bar (which was a mess) we were greeted by multiple people none of which could take our order all of which assured we would be helped in a moment...it was a long moment. We should have got the hint and left then. Instead we ordered drinks followed by food. The drinks came quickly, the food took an hour...mind you, the restaurant was busy but not overflowing...there was a party of 4 that were seated before us and had just started their dinner as we were leaving...I can just imagine how long their food took. Clearly they don't discriminate at LHG...EVERYONE's food takes forever! Sorry LHG but there are far too many other options in Miami for great food accompanied by great service. Practice makes perfect!

Stopped by Latin House this past weekend & can't wait to go back! Everything was so fresh! For starters we ordered the Queso Fondue & Nachos; both delicious! Then I ordered the Chimi Burrito w/ Vaca frita and that was just AMAZING! Hubby had the muffin tops which he raved about. This place is great and so are the prices! Will definitely be back!

I have mixed feelings about this place. While my burger was delicious I am not sure if I will be back. Here is the breakdown: Food: My burger was delicious but what killed it for me were their "fries". Can't believe none of the other reviewers have talked about this. They are not fries at all, hence the quotation marks. They are soggy, greasy, tasteless potato chips. Since when did potato chips start being called fries? They were gross and we did not eat them. I cannot eat a burger without fries to go with it, it is like eating a chocolate chip cookie without milk. Just wrong! The burger was also smaller than I expected and I ordered a second one because I was still hungry. Wait time: While I do appreciate that everything is made to order, we waited about 25 minutes to get our food after we ordered. That seems like 2 hours when you are hungry. Decor: I am not fond of the decor/ atmosphere of this place. While not everyone may care about this point some (like me) do. It seems to me the owners just bought a bunch of random used furniture or some of it was left from a previous tenant and they threw it in there without any kind of thought into the design and flow of the restaurant. The bar is huge and takes up most of the space but was empty. There is a god awful gigantic mural that covers 2 entire walls. What were they thinking with that?! It was distracting me from enjoying my burger b/c it was so ugly. Went to the bathroom and it is old and beat looking, not a thing has been touched since the 80's/ 90's. You can do budget bathroom renovations without spending a lot so there are no excuses for this. Empty old gumball machines outside of the bathroom hallway don't add to the appeal. Bottom line I did really like my burger but if I do eat here again it would probably be takeout and when I am not in any kind of a hurry.

It is a good meal in an area that doesn't have many good restaurants. I like their lettuce wrap tacos. Their soups are also delicious. Their service has been inconsistent. Sometimes it has been average and other times it has been terrible.
(3)J M.
One of the best burgers!!..... I love this place... Another must is tangled love with vaca frita!
(5)Yasmine G.
Service sucks. Enough to not order dessert and leave in a hurry. It's too bad, honestly the food is great. Our waitress however was acting like she was ignoring our table. Parties seated after us where attended to faster. Hopefully, service is improved. If not there is always takeout. Very disappointed.
(2)Mailyn M.
The best food!!!
(5)Ricky R.
Horrible service, waitress came up to our table maybe twice. Food took forever, burger was over cooked, asked if my burger came with French fries they said yes, came with potato chips... Had a horrible experience, wouldn't recommend this place at all!
(1)Rebecca C.
I get so excited when I see a food truck serving vegetarian food, and lo and behold, Latin House Grill has a wonderful portabella burger for the mushroom lover and anti-meat eater. Not only is it a huge juicy mushroom sauteed and just as unhealthy as a real burger, it's coated in cheeses and caramelized onions. And they serve it up to avoid any messes, neatly wrapped in foil and sliced in half. Perfect for sharing and eating on the go. The wait was a little long, people were complaining. However, I asked in advance how long to expect and it took just about 10 minutes like she said it would. Prices were reasonable, a good $7 for a huge mushroom burger is what I'd expect at a nice burger joint, so nothing to complain about. Definitely will be keeping my eye on this food truck.

loved it!!! def coming back

Wow we went here about a year ago and I've been bugging my boyfriend to return since but, boy, was I ever disappointed! First things first, the chuchi bowl of rice is as good as ever but hello we're in Miami, I should expect no less! A good bowl of rice isn't particularly hard to find in Miami and Latin House's bowl of rice sure isn't making a lifelong customer out of me - certainly not with their customer service! So my boyfriend finally took me back - for my birthday lunch - after what I can only describe as a decent first time there albeit with excellent food. So we get there at 11-ish am, turns out they don't open until noon - which we didn't know. Well, as I'm pulling on the door handle before realizing this, there is an employee staring right at me just beyond the door who wasn't even kind enough to open the door and let me know or, at the very least, gesture something that would clue me in. So we sat outside and waited for little less than an hour - by far the most highly anticipated letdown of the year. At some point, a young guy clearly dressed as a server walks up to the restaurant so I ask "excuse me, do you work here?" And wouldn't you know it, he just kept walking right past me as if no one said anything at all - and, no, he didn't have headphones on or any other excuse. When we eventually got in the restaurant for lunch, there was the very same server sitting down ever so comfortably waiting for his first table so it wasn't even as if he was in a rush to go do something productive with his time. As soon as we sat down, pumped about my birthday, I started looking over the drink menu. Well, that didn't last long because no sooner than I had picked it up off the table our "server" LITERALLY snatched it out of my hand. Dumbfounded, I looked up only to be told "we don't have anything on that menu." Uhm, excuse me?!?!? What? Come again??? What do you mean you "don't have anything on that menu"? And how do you explain the fact that your hostess JUST sat me down and handed it to me? Nope, no explanations were given, just that they didn't have ANYTHING on that menu. Politely, I say something along the lines of "well, that was also the drink menu did you realize that?" at which point this dimwit of a server (not the same guy who ignored me outside) - whose name I never got because he was never polite enough to tell us, shocker! - said oh yea sorry and gave back the very same menu he had snatched out of my hands a minute earlier. So we order our food and it EASILY took us an hour to receive a chimiburrito, a chuchi bowl of rice, and an order of tacos. I understand that this isn't fast food and it's clearly stated on their menu but I'm sorry the wait is simply not worth it, especially when your server is nowhere to be found the entire hour. Alas, the food FINALLY arrives. Clearly starved, we go to work and are finished eating in roughly 15 minutes. Well, it would be about another 20 before we got our check and 20 more before the server picked up the bill and rang us up. I would love to say that the restaurant was busy but, in fact, it wasn't. Actually, once we set our credit card on the little receipt tray, in plain sight, our server walked by our table about 6-8 times on the way to the table immediately next to us without ever bothering to pick it up and charge us. If we were any other customers, we very well could have walked out the door - and with the amount of time we were waiting to close out our check, let me tell you, I would NOT have been remorseful if we had. It's not like one goes out PLANNING to dine and dash but when your server is not only not interested in charging you but clearly not at all concerned about his tip, there's only so much the customer - and in this case, birthday girl - can put up with. Like I said, we won't be back because the food here simply isn't good enough to justify a 2-hour lunch break or waiting 40 minutes to close out your check. Good riddance, Latin House.

I like Ingrid Hoffman on Food Network and have had wonderful hamburgers all over Latin America so I had high hopes for this restaurant. But hat a disappointment. It was very jarring to be in a restaurant that has Food Network shows going on three tvs in and endless loop while this crap is served up. First, the portions the muffinburger served at lunch for for eight bucks are not burgers they are sliders. Second, I ordered the "Mexican" because I look fresh bold flavors. I got no heat but just a greasy melted mess. Instead of fries you get tasteless chips whose only identifying feature is they curl. The atmosphere is more grunge bar/nightclub then Miami restaurant. Maybe that works at night but during the day, it has a hellish feel. Prices are also very hight for what it is. Place was empty except at lunchtime except for one screaming baby who on his own managed to make the restaurant noisy. I like to write positive or a least balanced reviews. But this place had no redeeming features. I am amazed that Ms. Hoffman would squander her reputation on this place. Not going back!!!!!
(1)katelin k.
I have been to Latin House twice and each time loved the food! Apparently word has been getting around about this place cause it was packed! I absolutely love the funky art work they have all over the walls. It sets a Wynwood feel inside the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. If you are a fan of spicy, order the mango habanero sauce! Its Fire!! I will definitely be back to visit soon.
(4)mike d.
had dinner last night , Awsome! our server George was fantastic. very friendly and helpfull.......must try the pig wings and the lobster lollypops. little bit of a wait but should be expected for a Saturday night. Will go again
(4)Erin L.
If you are looking for a light bite... Keep driving. This place serves big food. Perhaps a little too big! The French burger with the unexpected toppings of Brie cheese, almonds and honey is fantastic. It's sweet/salty/crunchy and beefy! I also ordered the pig wings appetizer which was entree sized. The pork was very tender and the glaze was an unusual mix of BBQ and Asian flavors. I would surely come back but need a few friends to help eat everything!
(4)Jaclyn G.
Oh, Latin House. I have hope for you yet. Really, I do. I get it - it's a challenging transition to go from food truck to an actual brick-and-mortar location. The logistics are crazy different. It's a tough gig, my friend. So this review will be without my usual cutting sarcasm (I know, I know...I'm getting soft in my old age) and just focus on some of the bright spots...and well, some areas that could use some polishing up. Now, just to get it on record, I've stopped by LH a total of four times - enough to write a fair review of what's doin' here. Latin House, you could be my go-to neighborhood...almost everything, really. Bar, late night munchies, casual lunch on the go - but you're not quite there. Yet. The food: Fat kid heaven. Just amazing. The succulently meaty pig wings. The juicy Mad Love brimming with a generous heaps of tangled potatoes. Even the health(ier) lettuce wrap tacos with chorizo are chock full of savory, greasy flavor. That is, when you actually have the food in stock. 3 out of my 4 visits, notable items were missing from the menu. And I'm not talking just one or two. We're talking closer to four dishes that we were told "sorry, no can do" on one particular visit. JG: "We'll have the pig wings" LH: "Sorry, we're out." JG: "Ok, well...let's go with the Queso." LH: "Um, we don't have that either." JG: "So....what about the shrimp?" LH: "No, I'm sorry." JG: "Ok, *what* do you have?" LH: "Chips and pico." JG: "Fine. We'll take it." On another visit, they were out of lettuce for the lettuce wraps. Also, chorizo and carne asada options for fillings. Note: this was at 7pm. Still pretty early on in the evening. Service: Spotty, at best. Front of house is what really needs the work here. On two occasions we've had waiters completely save the day for us (one waiter comped us 4 glasses of cider because our order of 1 taco dish and 1 tostada dish had failed to come out after a 50 minute wait - come to find out, the kitchen had "forgotten" our order). On another visit, a waiter went above and beyond to adjust some dishes for us due to food allergies. Good stuff. However, twice we've taken a seat at the bar to wait for our table and on both occasions noticed that hostess had forgotten about us and had started to seat new patrons in available booths. The hubs had to remind her on each occasion that we had been waiting patiently at the bar for her. Beer selection: Strong. Some nice craft selections on draft and a particular big-ups for carrying some amazing cider choices (Fox Barrel!). Also, while the wine list is limited, they're well-chosen bottles that are quite delicious and complex. Look, I'm not looking for any hate mail here. I truly love the food and decor and think you have a potentially amazing thing going here. Just need a couple of tweaks to get this set-up running like the well-oiled machine it deserves to be.
(3)Dorian W.
Food was pretty good, chimichanga burrito with carne asada hit the spot,steak with rice and plantanos maduros for that sweet touch. Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you are in the area
(4)Michelle C.
Suck on my chocolate salty balls. A warm fudgy/brownnie style center, surrounded by a warm doughnut layer and then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. See, they even included the delicious money shot for you! These are so ridiculously good, I don't care how ridiculous I look eating it.
(5)Ramiro A.
It's been 4 months since my initial review. I found myself in the area about lunch time and the place was pretty empty, so I decided to give it another shot. I ordered the smoked Gouda roasted red pepper soup and the fish tacos. The soup was good not great. The fish in the fish tacos were fried not grilled. It's possible the menu said it was fried, but I didn't see that. However, I liked the fish tacos enough to eat 3 of the 4 served. The menu though does make it seem, like you're about to eat something with a lot of different flavors and I didn't exactly get that. Despite all the toppings, it was a little bland. Problem fixed by adding mango habanero hot sauce which was delicious ( I don't know if they make it in house). The service was great. On the whole, the food here isn't bad; it's also not worth the hype. If I were eating it off a food truck, I'd probably think its the best thing in the world, but for a sit down restaurant it's alright. Wouldn't be opposed to going back if I were in the area again.
(3)Martha M.
I had high hopes for this restaurant.. i used to like getting their food truck fare like everyone else. But again like I've been seeing in more and more reviews... it's definitely gone downhill. Where to begin... So I brought my hubby in to finally try them out since I had a great time on Cinco de Mayo there with a friend. Plus, he loves beer and I do have to give them, they have a good draft selection. They also have a nice decor, the whole lighting situation they've got going on is neat.But that's about it.. again back to the review... So we walked in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We walk in and we are the only ones there. sign said to wait to be seated. Servers and staff walked by, chatted with other staff and we just stood there pretty idiotically when we literally could have sat anywhere, and of coarse was what was told to us by the server once he got around to it. Here's another big issue which ticks me off, the server didn't know a lick of English. yea yea, I'm Cuban and I love the cultural hub that is Miami, but my husband doesn't know Spanish and this guy barely understood me when I was talking Spanish... i didn't know what his deal was but anywho... We ordered the calamari "blossoms" b/c it looked so cool from one of many pictures that chef M posts on Facebook. Let me just say... the most disappointing plate of calamari I've ever seen. Such a small serving, we ate it in 3 minutes.. for I think it was $14 dollars! What a rip. Chef M, please go to ANY other restaurant..Town, City Hall, Yard House, hell, even Redfish Grill which is a fine dining restaurant, serves awesome calamari and NOT for so much $$. Please people, pass on the calamari, you'll be sorely underwhelmed. Next we decided to share the chimiburrito with vacafrita. Apparently my half of this greasy thing barely had any shreds of meat.. lots of cheese and lots of rice. NOT Happy, I yearned for more meat, sad even.. But the biggest insult... the bill. Mind you, we had 2 beers, SHARED an app and SHARED the burrito. Over $40?! Yea, they even charged EXTRA for using vaca frita instead of whatever other meat. A burrito for $14? Your out of your mind "chef M". FYI, you can get a big plate of vacafita at _____________ (insert any cuban restaurant) for $9-$12 including rice, beans, maduros... pft! I feel bad for the negative review, but it is what it is... If I ever go again, I'll stick to the burger.. just make sure you ask for the temp, cuz they'll give you an overcooked medium well if you leave it to them.

Great place! Great food! Awesome environment! Friendly and fast service! Could ask for a better combination!
(4)Jessica D.
As I sit here waiting almost 1 hour for my 4 tacos I wonder how this place is even surviving. We questioned the waiter why it was taking so long and we were informed that since there are 2 tables with more than 4 people that got here ahead of us, their food has priority (I was with 1 other person). Apparently the chef or cook cannot concentrate on more than 1 table order at a time. To make it worse there is a lady at the bar ALONE that has been waiting even LONGER than we have for her food. Really? Plus no manager no duty to apologize for the ridiculous wait time. It's my first time here, and even if those tacos make me orgasm I will probably never come back.... That is if I even get served my tacos!!!!

After being a huge fan of the food truck, I was excited to try LHBTB's new Sunset locale, and it did not disappoint. So much so that I came twice in one week! The first time was for a lunch date with the boo. We shared the chips and pico as an appy and the grilled chimi burrito (stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, vaca frita and topped with guacamole and crema). This thing was HUGE - I got to talk half of my half home to have for lunch the next day! The second time I came, my fam and I ordered the queso with chorizo dip. I would have preferred that it was more queso-y and creamy and not as chock full of chorizo, but it was delicious nonetheless. For my main entree I opted for the Mad Love Cuban burger (topped with guava and queso blanco) and the tangled fries. So much noms in this plate, I could hardly contain myself.. so I didn't. My family and I shared the balls to the wall for dessert (fried brownie balls drizzled with condensed milk and powdered sugar). It was awesome, but they weren't fried all the way (still some gooey batter left over). The service both times was great, albeit a bit slow the second time around; however, it WAS a Saturday and burgers do take longer to cook, so there were no complaints from me. The parking is easy as pie, as there's a HUGE lot to accommodate guests. WIll definitely come back!
(4)Cristina C.
5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. definitely not 5 stars, but not terrible, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait. It's always tempting to order a burger (they are delicious), but it's probably best to go with the Chimi Burrito or a Chuchi Bowl of Rice with carne asada. You can't go wrong with either one.
(5)C C.
Food was great. Each dish had a considerable amount of flavor. KUDOS to them. The service was quick and the were friendly. I will return.
(4)Dana D.
There were a couple of things deterring me from Latin House Burger. 1. It says "Latin". I hate that term. I'm not even going to get into it. Also, apart from the dude that's preparing your food, and about 90% of the patrons, I don't think there's anything Latin about this place. Their menu offers a variety of cultural flavors and is not limited to spickiness. They should rename the restaurant and call it International House of Burgers and Tacos. They should also relocate next to the International House of Pancakes and piss them off. Then when you tell people you're going to IHOB, they think you have a speech impediment. 2. It's in Kendall. 3. It's a food truck, and food trucks travel to you. Thanks to Groupon, I took my culinary explorations down south, and west, and now that I've tried it, I'd definitely come back for some burgerdome -- IF I'm in the area.
(4)Gianni D.
I have been here once and had purchased from the food truck previously. This is one of those controversial reviews for me. My wife likes it and other people I know love the place but I really feel its a bit hype. Having gone to many places in MIami and abroad, this place and its food is average to above average. Most of what I ate was greasy and the prices are too high for the kind of food they serve. Did I like the food, yes. A 3 out of 5 for me. Did I think it was worthy of a revisit? Not really. The staff is nice but there are too many of them and they "stumble" over each other. The interior is loud, and even though everything is relatively new in regards to decor, it does not have a well thought out theme or vibe. Its a mish mash of style. Its one of those places that you'll like or won't. Would I recommend it... sure give it a try there are a lot of people who love it. I think they will be more successful if they lower their prices, find their identity.

You know that saying "curiousity killed the cat," well my husband and I drive west on Bird Rd often and kept seeing LHG's food truck. Like typical Miamians, we were curious/nosey and wanted to see if this truck was any good. Unbeknownst to us, this was the first day to a new way of living. (And so curiousity did NOT kill us :) We were immediately LHG fans 'fo lyfe' after our first taste of their Ribeye Flatton. It was bursting with latin flavor!!! Everything from the soft flatbread to the flavorful ribeye to the delicious sauces, soooooo good. From that moment on I made it my duty to share this food truck with EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE. My personal favorites are the Ribeye puffy flatton (Flatbread stuffed with Ribeye topped with pico de gallo and their yummy sauces), the french muffin top (slider topped with slivered almonds, honey and brie!), the coconut shrimp tacos (the balance of sweetness, crunchy texture and latin flavor is absolutely divine), the chimiburrito (A deep fried burrito stuffed with Chuchi's famous yellow rice, your choice of protein, sweet plantains, three types of cheeses), and of course their balls to the wall (rich brownie battered, deep fried then served with a drizzle of condensed milk). My husband and I have been faithful LHG stalkers since the beginning and I am so thankful for Chuchi, Michell and Bella for sharing their flavors with the streets of South Florida! Not only do you experience great food but you experience top notch customer service! :) LHG FTW!!!!!!!

Ok the food is amazing! Those chimichanga burritos (carne asada) are insane with the lime avocado sauce. Aged gouda red pepper soup, enough said! And well the muffin tops are a must (try all the mini versions). And everything is available in light version (but if not an every week stop then go for the full fat plate). Only thing is they are stingy with everything ie. charge for any sauce, fries on side of your plate instead of on plate they charge as a side?!? And they do not believe in mustard! and yes, staff/seating/host, subpar- but hey itsa food truck gone stripmall! Good tuesday taco specials and locals kareoke specials! and cant forget, the balls to the wall! Caution, so good!

I drive by this place almost every day and I've been meaning to check it out since it opened. Finally I did. Not all spin-offs are as successful as the original and many are not successful at all. Take Joey from Friends, After M*A*S*H or Joanie loves Chachi, all awful spin-offs of very successful shows. Then there are The Simpsons, Frasier, and now the Latin House Grill. A spin-off of the original food truck, this is probably the best new restaurant in the Kendall area. As soon as I entered the place I liked it. The decor is very modern and I'm a sucker for uncovered roof, exposed air ducts and hanging light bulbs. Makes me feel like I'm hanging out in a loft in midtown Manhattan. The place was a little busy but we were seated within 5 minutes. The menu is intense. Not large but full of great choices. Everything looked delicious. Also the beer selection is pretty good. We started with the Carne con queso. Spicy but not overly, creamy, and with a subtle hint of lime, it was delicious and the tri-colored tortilla chips were a nice touch. As entrees I had the Chimi-Burrito with carne asada, a pile of deliciously season rice, tons of carne asada, lathered on crema mexicana, guacamole and cheese all wrapped up in a corn tortilla and the......(drum roll).... flash fried. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! First of all, the thing is huge (I know....THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID). I saved half for lunch next day plus you need space for desert, believe; you want dessert. The burrito is delicious, and the flash fry makes the tortilla crisp to the bite but dissolves in your mouth. I have never tried a burrito like this but from now on my burritos must be flash fried. My girlfriend had the Grilled Flatton with rib-eye. The tenderness of the meat, the taste, and boy that avocado-lime sauce is incredible. For dessert we had the Balls to the Wall with Ice cream, of course. Two perfectly round balls of sugary fried dough filled with a mixture of chocolate and condensed milk, with a ball of creamy vanilla ice cream all surrounded by more condensed milk, now that is a way to finish the meal. Now here is the one negative thing and I have to talk about it because a lot of reviewers seemed to have had the same issue. SERVICE!!! Eventhough our server was very helpful and took our order pretty quick, our drinks and our appetizer came out pretty quick, our dinner took a bit long. It could have been a kitchen problem because around that time started to get busy but our server did not help much. He was a bit slow and at times he look like a chicken running with his head cut off. Even the group next to us asked us if our food had taken too long. I do like the fact that the owners came around a few times but please understand that good food is only going to take so far. Eventually the service must be improved. Especially when so many people seemed to agree. This still a great place even with the spotty service. My suggestion is, be patient.

Ordered take out from here with the girls from work a few months back and it was fantastic! I got the puffy flatton with cilantro lime chicken, and while the chicken tasted like neither, the entree itself was sinfully delicious. Came to eat in for the first time this past Thursday, which happened to be karaoke night, but I digress. When we arrived, the dining room was pretty empty. Our party of five was seated at a table in the middle, but we were asked to move just as our drinks arrived as they had a party of twenty (eek) about to arrive. Of course I happened to be reading the yelp reviews at the same moment I hear about the monstrously-sized party, and quite the handful of people have bemoaned the service while having a large party being served at the same time, citing the larger parties taking precedence over the smaller. My first thought was "oh sh@!", naturally. However, I was pleasantly surprised - we didn't seem to take the backseat to anyone, our food arrived fast and the order correct. We did, however, have to flag down a waiter for refills, but not a huge deal. The food in house was absolutely fantastic. My sons (4 & 5) both demolished and obliterated two sliders a piece. They stated they were the best burgers they'd ever had. I had my same puffy flatton, and my husband had the same except with carne asada. We usually have leftovers wherever we go. But not here! Between my boys and husband, everyones plates were cleaned. All in all, a great experience. We'll definitely be back! For those who say it is pricey, it is no more expensive than your typical chain (Chili's/Fridays) and the food is WAY better.
(4)Stephanie R.
The wait for the food is a bit long, but the food was delicious! The tacos were amazing and so were the burgers. Definitely a spot you must check out!
(4)Eloquent L.
Good food and prices but the portions are enormous! Makes me feel bad when I can't finish the meal. Craft beer is available, that's always a plus.
(3)Jackie F.
Delish food! I have even there several times since opening...ad everything has improved, so give them another chance. The food is amazing. Everything from burgers to tacos to my new favorite the carne asada flatton. And make sure you save room for dessert--balls to the wall!!! If they have the appy special of guacamole--get it! Great flavor. Chef M and his team are doing a great job and Lov having another food option in the area
(5)David A.
went to latin house for the first time after watching triple d's guy fiori talking about this place. had the chimi burrito (featured on the show) was very good - split it with the wife- service was good & fast - a little pricey - would return
(5)Jennifer S.
I was at a festival and came across this place. I didn't actually order anything myself, but had a taco and a bit of burger from Ginas plate. yep... i'm a pig and don't dare dangle food in my face, i'll bite your fingers! But it wasn't the burger or taco that was anything special... but the mango habanero sauce. it was out of this world!!!!! I'm in desperate need of a recipe... or can you buy this stuff in store. I WANT MORE!!!

I will never go anywhere near this place ever again. I'd been there before and had sketchy service, but tonite took things to a whole other level. My friend arrives before me with her special-needs son. When I walk in the door, there is water spilled all over their table, dripping onto her son and the floor. When I asked what happened, my friend said they put the water down in front of her son, and he accidentally knocked it over...5 minutes before. There were managers and staff standing around and no one was helping her clean it up....and there were no napkins anywhere to help her. A young man who works there comes over with a bottle of spray and a rag, puts them on the table and walks away, cleaning NOTHING. And the water continues to drip everywhere. I grabbed a napkin from the hostess stand and try to stem the tide. Not one person came to help me. The other customers were staring in disbelief. We got up, gathered her very hungry son and walked out. No one approached us or apologized. Let me not forget to mention there were a bunch of empty tables, and people waiting at the door. I have NEVER seen anything like that in my life. This was my birthday dinner. This is where I picked to go. The funny(?) part is, right before i left my house, I was reading the YELP reviews about the service and thought to myself "no place can be THAT bad". I was wrong. It was WORSE. They need to go back to what they did right..the food truck. THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER!!! ***Just an update~ The owner did reach out to me and we spoke at length about what happened and she asked how she could make it right. I asked if she could call my friend and apologize, which she did. That was classy. She did offer to buy us dinner. We have not yet been back. I'll keep you posted.***

Dear owner of Latin House, I had a terrible experience here last night! When we first got there they told us 30-45 minute wait when clearly there were several available tables (i guess this place is understaffed and can't keep up with the volume of people? I don't know) but we waited and we were sat around the 35 minute mark. We then placed our drink order and our appetizer order and main meal order. We got our drinks in a timely matter (decent selection of craft beers) but the app did not come out for almost an hour. The waitress constantly assured us our main food would be out soon...soon turned out to be, after patiently waiting for a total of TWO HOURS, "I'm sorry but the kitchen seems to have lost your order...." WHAT?!?!? lost our order?! Why did the app come out then? The waitress then re-took our order and promised to comp our drinks. 25 minutes later, we get our food which was mediocre at best, a little salty and then to be absolutely critical the fries were cold. (which means they have a dysfunctional kitchen with major timing problems) To top it off, the waitress couldn't comp our drinks but did comp our app which was also a huge disappointment due to the price difference! I was a really patient and understanding customer and when mistakes happen, you, "Latin House", needs to make the negative experience into a positive one and yet you failed on every chance to make it right. I don't even know how express what a total letdown this was. It's sad because i really try to support local business and avoid chain restaurants but when it all boils down to quality control and getting it right. My group at the end wished we had gone to Beer & Burger Joint (chain) . You lost, what could have been a loyal customer. PS. Hire more people please, i think you have enough volume to afford it. At least bring out chips or something (you are a taco bar) to keep the customer entertained until the food arrives 2 hours later.

Omg, this is a dangerous place to have right next door to where I work. They have such a great menu with different foods! I always end up getting the "chimi burrito" which always ends up being way to much food. It's basically a big burrito stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, protein of choice, and cheese and then fried.....basically a heart attack in a plate. I've also tried the clam chowder and lobster bisque bread bowl soups.... Both were awesome! They have a pretty good beer selection as well. My favorite is the Andygator, strong beer with a light taste! I've also tried the purple haze which is way lighter but still good. I love the industrial look to it and the staff is always so friendly! During one of my many visits (lol) the owner came to our table to make sure everything was good. This makes me feel good about spending my money on such unhealthy food!
(5)Karina G.
All I can say is: nom, nom, nom nom nom! I hate to admit this but I had never tried their food truck when they drove around. But came here one day to catch up with my cousin. We both ordered the burrito and omg it is HUGE! Yes Luis S. may be on to something about the gigantic portions but it is up to the customer if they want to eat the whole thing. Personally, it was too much for me so I took some home so I can have lunch for work the next day. Our burrito was out of this world! Defienitely something I have never tried before with plantains inside the burrito. The beer selection is awesome! And service is the best. They always came around to make sure that we were doing good.
(5)Steffi B.
Beautiful decor!! But worst customer service!!! Went last night the waitress sit us down, we wait like 10 minutes abd then another waitress ask us who gave you the menu??? We are close you dont see the open sign is off?? I think that was very rude basically she kick us out ... So dissapointed!!! The food looks yummi but i think latin burger needs to hire more respectful staff :(
(1)Richard B.
Should be 5 stars except for the service. I have been to the Latin House around 6 times since it opened. As for the food, everything has been great - Burgers - awsome - Tacos - 4 tacos with your choice of protein including vaca frita, shrimp and the usuals - Soups - Big and great tasting. Lobster bisque in a bread bowl. - Great beer selection on tap (Blue moon in a fresh cold glass with an orange slice every serving) The only issue is the service. I can't say why it is hit or miss every time I go. It is worth the trouble, since the service can be much worse and the food is way too good.
(4)Manny M.
Fries... Curly and tangled. Taste like savory morsels of crispy deliciousness. Libation... over 20 non-traditional brews to choose from. If you're lady doesn't like beer (like mine), try the Angry Orchard apple, it's a yummer! The original burger... was on point! Mushrooms were soft, but the star of the show were the caramelized onions. Shout out to John F. (our server) for an excellent virgin experience!
(4)Stephanie E.
Wow! Can not believe it took me a few weeks to finally get to try Latin House, but I'm so excited I did because it is by far the best new restaurant in the Kendall area...I'd even list it as one of Miami's best newest restaurants. We ordered the following: -Appetizer: Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. Between the two of us, we ate about half of the dish and that's cause we were stuffing our faces. It's plenty for 4 people and it only costs $8.99 -Entrees: 1) Chimi Burrito w/Carne Asada @ 13.99 and 2) 2 Muffin Tops (French and Western @ 10.99) Okay, let me just say that we decided to get 2 entrees so that we could get a taste of the food and plus, our waitress recommended it. She was very friendly and offered many suggestions...and dang she was right b/c we didn't try anything we didn't love. So first, the Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. OMG! I'm not sure if all the loads of Chorizo meat gave these loaded skinny fries the "it" factor, but the whole dish, including the pico de gallo, and avocado-lime were to-die-for. I could eat this everyday. This hands-down beats any "loaded" nachos anywhere else that lack meat, cheese etc.. Next, we took one look at the Chimi Burrito and our jaws dropped. Because we had the other 2 burgers, we decided to only eat half the burrito, which was just enough. (Heck once we finished the 2 Muffin Tops, we were stuffed). Anyways, the burrito, which also came with skinny string fries, was very flavorful. The tortilla was very crunchy (maybe fried?) and the filling was just so full of carne asada, queso, rice, and plantains! Loved the flavor on this dish as well... And finally, we made it to the 2 Muffin Tops, which are basically small burgers. NO - not sliders, bigger! The beef patty is a 1/4 pounder so 2 Muffin Tops between 2 people is perfect. The French was just so yummy. We love brie cheese and almonds so this burger was just perfect. And the Western was well, your typical juicy burger with a good amount of BBQ sauce on top of an onion ring. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert...Next time... OH did I mention they have a very good selection of craft beers. A+ And to top it off, a waiter came after us (once we had left the restaurant) to return a $10 bill we had inadvertently dropped at our booth. We were so happy with everything & this kind of honestly that we told him to keep the bill & split it w/the waitress. Good job guys! Keep it up!
(5)Melissa C.
Came into the restaurant with big expectations. What a disappointment! Starting w/ the overpriced chips and pico de gallo and moving right along to the Calle tacos. Imagine the disappointment when my hubby was served 4 tiny (3 inch) tacos that looked like a meal for my 10 year old son. The shrimp quesadilla appetizer was Overflowing with cheese, perhaps 2 large shrimp, and a few of the tiniest shrimps I have ever seen! Oh and by the way if you choose Carne asada as your "protein" of choice just be aware that you will be charged an extra $2. If you decide to visit, you better hope they do not have a party because if they do you will have to wait until the party group gets their food before you are served. Even if you arrived BEFORE the party! What a disappointing $85 meal... And that's without dessert or drinks!!! Will not return.
(2)Andrew Z.
Average food. S-L-O-W service. The workers acted like it was business as usual. It was a Sunday night around 8pm and their were maybe 6 parties on the whole place

With the sudden proliferation of food trucks in Miami, LHG still holds a dear place in my heart and tummy. It still remains as one of the better food trucks out there and one of the best when it comes to burgers. When I saw their menu they had several items that were teasing me but alas, I went with their recommendation of the sliders- and I was glad I did! I went with their recommendation of their best sellers: French, Mexican, and Italian. They are small but they pack a ton of meat, and more importantly, flavor. The French is by far the BEST one on that menu. At first I thought: "Honey and almonds in my burger? Are they crazy!" One bite and I thought they were indeed crazy...crazy good!!! The subtle sweetness from the honey is the perfect compliment to the meat and the almonds give it the perfect crunchy texture. The Mexican was another favorite of mine. The wonderful taste of the cilantro came through perfectly and wasn't masked by anything else. On the other hand, the Italian was the least of my favorites when compared with the rest- it didn't have the same flavor profiles the other ones did. All in all, LHG delivered and has been consistently doing so. Just one bite is all it'll take to make you become a lifetime stalker...it did for me!
(4)Lauren C.
AMAZING. Food was filling and delicious for a reasonable price. The service was great and very respectful. Appetizer, entree, or dessert, you will not be disappointed here. Best nachos ever, chips weren't too salty and they packed it with meat and extras. Then the chimichanga was my favorite and would go back in a heartbeat! I hope this restaurant is here to stay and grows! Good luck and support this place. One of the best in a while!
(5)Dianna S.
Now the truck has grown up and become a full blown restaurant. Was there with both my older kids a few weeks ago. The place ROCKS! The look is like the love child of sleek sexy Scan Design and Bad Ass Cholo. When you walk in the front door you HAVE to look at the incredible mural to your right - sugar skull feme fetal! The food has gotten even better. What was once in limited quantity now is plentiful and all you need to do is ask! The service was great, the place is beautiful and the food incredible. We ordered a Puffy Flatton with vaca frita, Mad Love burger and Taqueria Calle Tacos (fish, chicken, vaca frita). I had trouble choosing a beer - there are so many that I must return to try them all! Still great food but now a great place to take the family, watch a game or sample chef's specials like the Tomahawk Steak that the thought of is making me drool.
(5)Andres V.
Gave it another shot, and I got my chimiburrito (aka God's gift to food) in a reasonable amount of time. Chef M assured me that it was mainly growing pains, and I was pretty sure it was just that, since I got my food insanely fast (even had time to go next door for some chocolate créme brulees for me and the family at Sweetness). I read the other reviews and see that people have problems with the service sometimes. I see what they mean: I did get asked by more than one server if I wanted something. But for the most part they are very amiable. They are great when they're not packed, which is around when I got there, and the food's still as delicious as ever. I can't give them 5 stars again until I go at peak hours, though. We shall see! No, I did not ask for ketchup. Yet!
(4)Melissa L.
I think my expectations were just entirely too high for this place. I realize they had just opened a couple of weeks before I visited, but it was kind of a mess. We were told we would have a 20 minute wait to be seated, yet the place was half empty. During our meal, staff made continual errors with our orders and drinks would take eons to get to us. In fact, one of them never made it and we had to tell them to remove it from our bill. The food itself was great - just like the truck. However, I found it to be a little overpriced - especially the appetizers. The decor was really nice and it had a cool vibe, I just don't really think I'll be going back as frequently as I anticipated.
(3)Rachel P.
They may have been a wonderful food truck, but the restaurant SUCKS! Save your money. Taco Bell and Burger King taste better. Inexperienced wait staff - Deer in the Headlights! No liquor - they just got their license so the kegs were warm. WONDERFUL! BUT, Hey! There was no shortage of water. Great ,if you are trekking through the desert. I won't be giving them a second chance at my hard earned money.
(1)Jonathan I.
We came on Food Truck Night, Which I can remember which night it was (I want to say Monday?) After sitting down we were given the menus and our server let us know of the Food Truck Sampler that had all their food truck options as samples. We went ahead and orders those. We waiting a little while not too long at all. Once the food came out it was Great! 1st thing i grabbed and bit into was the carnitas taco wow the flavor was on point! then I tried the half cut burrito that came in the box and it was to my sweet surprise, sweet and salty! they had a fried sweet plantain in my fried burrito!? Hold the phone "Amazing" I loved the flavor combination! I'd come back to this place any time but saving it for "Cheat night" the Food is Heavy Awesome! Oh and about the service, we had no issues at all everything was fast and great even spoke with the owner who was behind the bar. Great food, service and decor. As I said will definitely come back.
(4)Rudy C.
All I gotta say is I'm in a love with a food truck she poppin, she rollin, she rollin. I've pretty much tried everything on the menu. I like them all. I got a soft spot for the sneaky chicken nachos. Its so good, so I always order them with a mad love. The tacos and flatons are good. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Lastly , their "balls to the wall" will get you balls to the wall. Seriously this little concoction (deepfried battered brownie) is heavenly. The taste reminds me of tempura ice-cream, the ice cream being substituted by a brownie. Next time I get the "balls to the wall" I will make sure to bring some ice-cream because "balls to the wall" + ice cream (cookies and cream for me) = Epic mouth explosion.
(5)Monica G.
Today was my second visit here. It was not at all like my first visit. The first time we came, we sat at the bar and was greated by a server Jose. He was great. We asked what he recommended. Being our first time here and all. He said "Do not eat the tacos. Have a burger. They are all great". So we orderd The Originial and The Western. Both were great it was awsome. Jose was social. We had a great time. Now today. Not so good. We sat at the bar again. It took about ten minutes for somene to take our order. We asked for Dos Equis. It was flat. It took another 10 minutes for our appetizer, Sneaky Nachos. Which were really good by the way. Then another 15 minutes for food to arrive. We ordered the French Burger and a LHG Torta. So good. The food is great here, do not get me wrong. But the service today was just awful. I will come back to taste another burger. I just hope that the service will be different.
(3)Yessy M.
This has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had! Not only are they slow, but dirty, and have no regard for customer service what so ever. Lets start from the beginning... 3 couples at the door...waiters walking by...bartendar looking at us and no one even greeted any of us...finally 10 min into it a very slow hostess appears. She walks us to a table that was still dirty and literally brushes off the table with her hand unto the floor. The guy "sweeping" walked by the trash over and over again. The food took forever, they ran out of string fries and started inventing another type. So we had two different fries on the plate. My glass of water was empty for I dont know how long when I asked the waiter for water and hot sauce...he took over 10 minutes where my fiance had to get up and get it for me, and again no one wondered why we were literally serving ourselves. The food got cold waiting for the hot sauce. And when again we got up to get boxes to go...eventually the waiter asked if everything was ok. When we mentioned everything all he said was yes I understand very bad service, you dont have to tip me if you dont want. Really?! No apology, let me bring the manager. I so wish yelp had half star ratings! The food is definitely not worth the hassle. I wouldn't bother giving them another try.
(1)Robin M.
The service is terrible and the owner is a dick. Food taste good but extremely over priced and they don't serve enough on a plate. If your the type of person who eats more than a mouse and don't like to be talked down to, then stay away from this restaurant.
(1)Leah V.
I reeeeaalllllyyy liked this place. I have only visited once so far, but I will definitely be back. The Sneaky Nachos with Carne Asada were wonderful, not too heavy with the toppings (I hate it when nachos are so smothered with crap that you can't even see the tortilla chips). I had a Bulgarian Burger- mouth watering good. Drinks are limited to beer and wine. When we asked if sangria was available, our server said she would make some for us, which was actually very nice and refreshing. Beer selection was solid. We will definitely be back. Great service, great food.
(4)Sasha F.
I went here alone on Saturday. I was very skeptical about dining in alone but the bartender and waiter convinced me to stay. The staff is really nice and the food is great! And their sangria is to die for!
(5)Lori R.
I Like.... a LOT I was already a fan of the truck and the food at the restaurant is also really good! Sweet shrimp and carnitas appetizer was very tasty. The day we went they had some cocktail shrimp swimming in a tangy, limey pico de gallo which was pretty darn good... one complaint: The picture on the flyer had avocado and our dish had none, not that it mattered much since we ate every bite of that thing like it was our last meal before Armageddon, but I'm sure it would've been even better with a little aguacate in there... The tacos had this amazing avocado lime sauce....and the little muffin top burgers really hit the mark, not overly dressed, but just enough to impress... My favorite: French... brie and almonds = Awesome! And lastly but not leastly, the tap beer selection is pretty vast.... can't wait to go back and try them all.... We showed up at an off time and the place was rather quiet, everything was served quickly and and our server was awesome... I'll be back - many, many times
(4)Tomasz M.
Once you try LHG goodness,.. you WILL become a "food stalker"... you'll join their facebook,. their twitter and follow every blog that mentions their name... I realized their food was Gold that when waiting for the Mad Love Burger, 2 City of Miami Paramedic Trucks and a Fire Engine pulled up to order... these guys have their own posse! Mad Love Burger. Layered w/Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, mushrooms, caramelized onions, I opted for the habanero mango sauce and was topped with these amazing crispy po-ta-toes confetti..... it looked so beautiful...(happy tears)... Held together nicely throughout the meal. The Chimi Burrito was Gianormous!... I opted for the ribeye but minus the egg. This one might get messy, so grab a fork and dive in. Im a big guy with a ferocious appetite, but with this burrito I did not stand a chance. I recommend as an order for 2... Much lighter if ordered w/ chicken. I will next try the Puffy Flatton, Chicken Soft Taco or Cabo Wabo Fish Tacos and CHUCHI RICE!!!! Currently, their International sliders are what's popping. Great people & food.

This is simply where it's at. After trying the perfection know as the "MadLove" Burger and their "Sneaky" Nachos, I've come to the conclusion that Latin House Grill is the best food stand/truck in Miami. The burger is cooked to order, topped with grilled onions and mushrooms, plus fresh avocado, made to order. It is then topped with three different cheeses, and a bundle of crispy string fries. The bun is warmed up on the grill, and only adds to the amazing-ness of the whole ordeal. On top of all those delicious add-ons, you have a huge selection of sauces, ranging from mango-habanero, to jalapeño-cilantro. This huge burger runs about $7.00, but it surely gets the job done. They also offer tacos, nachos, burritos, and "flatton" (not sure what that is). I tried the nachos and they were excellent. The meat on them is hot off the grill, and then topped with two (or three?!) types of cheese. Great stuff here, too, with all the fixings you need/want. If Latin House Grill is in your area, be sure to give them a call, or follow them on Twitter/Facebook, for one of the best lunch/dinners of your life. The only downside is that it is cash only, so bring dollars and cents before you head out (they are working on putting out a credit card system soon). The owners/employees are super nice, and the service is always extremely fast. I don't know what else I could ask for. Maybe if the truck came with a beer dispenser? Just kidding, Latin House Grill is one of my favorite spots at the moment. Mango-habanero sauce ftw (for the win)!
(5)Jashira M.
Came here for lunch to try somewhere new. All around it was a good experience. Our waiter was excellent. Regrettably I don't remember his name but I was impressed with his service. Very knowledgeable on the menu. Made recommendations when we were unsure about the meat option for the food ordered. Always had a new drink brought to the table when he saw it starting to get low. Checked up on us during our meal. Just fabulous. Haven't had service this good from a server in a while and we eat out A LOT! The menu was interesting. There is a variety of appetizers to chose from. We had their nachos with Vaca Frita as our meat. Fire! They were delicious. The cheese had a little zing to it too. The waiter said it was one of their best appetizers and I really liked it. I had the tacos. 4 come in one order so I had 2 carne asada and 2 chicken. Very delicious. My hubby ordered from the burger menu which was interesting. You can order 2 burgers and it comes out to the same price as the big burger they have. One of the burgers he ordered (was modeled after Elvis) and had the meat patty, pb and j and platano maduro. He says it was delicious! The one thing on the menu we didn't have was dessert. However the dessert I want to try is called balls to the wall. If you go and you like sweets try this. The description alone will make your mouth water! Another thing I liked was that it is spacious. The tables aren't one on top of the other like most places. We have a little one and a stroller sometimes does not fit well in some establishments. It feels uncomfortable or its in the way. That wasn't a problem here. This really added to our experience because comfort is a big deal. We will definitely be coming back!

My boyfriend and I recently tried Latin House Grill and we loved it. I had the chimi burrito, which has chimi flavored rice, sweet plantains, and a choice of meat (I chose chicken). My boyfriend had the Cuban burger, which is topped with white cheese and guayaba marmalade. We wanted to try other items on the menu because they look so interesting, but we just became too full. We definitely will return!

I cannot express how amazing the food was! For starters believe it or not I'm not a huge fan of burgers. You'll find me having one possibly once a month (when i'm craving it). It had been a week that I had been craving one and really wanted to make it count. Boy did I make the right choice! As you walk in the ambiance is casual and hipster. I loved that all the TV's had the food network on! Our waiter was so friendly and helpful with everything on the menus and as i started to read it i automatically realized I needed to come back! Everything sounded so good and I was determined to have a burger, but the burritos.... i need to come back. First, they have a wonderful selection of beer and local beer. I love restaurants that support what is happening in the community. One of my favorites is Funky Buddha Miami. We ordered for appetizer these fried cheese bites that are dipped in guava whoa! the flavors and texture explodes in your mouth. I realized afterwards that we had desert before the meal! it was perfect though. As for my burgers... i decided I couldn't pick one so you can order two sliders (which are quite big and definitely filling). The French (with honey glazed almonds!) and a traditional American (my craving). The thickness and juiciness was out of this world! It was perfectly cooked and all the flavors were spectacular. I highly recommend that you try this place believe me it's amazing! And I'll make sure to update my review on my next trip.

Spent $20 with tip and left hungry. My friend and I had the calamari platter and shrimp to share. The service was not bad, but not great. I saw some people with larger portions, but ours was small and not worth the price. We were not offered the lunch special (just saw that they have this on their site). The $13 calamari was a bit chewy. The more disappointing part was the shrimp, possibly 5 shrimps with garnish and was $13. NOTE: I also just saw on "tips" that kids eat free(Called to confirm and they said this is true) I took my child - three year old, and I was not offered this deal. My daughter had already eaten, so no big, but still, not worth a mention?

Finally was able to try this place out with my wife. After seeing it on the triple d's show and it was well worth it. The waiter Jorge was very good waiter and knew the menu really good and was very helpful and informative about the items he told us that they only use fresh items all the time that is why they run out of items at times. Which sucks but is really good too. The madlove shrimp was delicious. My wife has the masitas which look really good and were amazing and my self I had the chimi burrito which was incredible and huge, I was able to have the other half for dinner. Definitely glad we checked this place out and can't wait to return.

This place is or was just "hype". I've been a few times and each experience isn't too pleasant. The service is horrible, both times, and the food is nothing special. It looks like a cool funky menu, but it's not great food. AND they give you these LAME chips as your side, like really?
(2)Nikolas R.
Good service, nice bright atmosphere and not to mention the burgers are fantastic. The food is priced fairly also. Triple win for in my book for Latin house!

My husband, daughter and I went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm. We walked in and there were a few tables' worth of people sitting outside waiting for tables. We asked how long it would take to get a table for two adults and one child and the hostess told us it would take 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, we saw approximately 8 unoccupied tables. We decided to wait a while and get a beer from the bar during the wait. The bar is more of a food bar than one for alcohol in the way that it is set up, including that it seems that the bar serves beer and wine only. The beer includes local brews from Wynwood Brewery. After standing at the bar for a few minutes, we decided to order chicken nachos to eat while we waited. We watched as more tables opened and sat empty while people, including us, continued waiting for tables. We saw two seats open at the bar and sat down to eat our nachos. We were not impressed by the nachos, including that we thought it was pretty gross that the cheese seemed like some type of premade yellow cheese like Velveeta. After we watched tables sit open for about 30 minutes and still had not been told a table was available for us, we decided to order our meals at the bar. Incredibly, about 15 minutes later the hostess came up and said a table was ready for us. At that point we had been there about 45 minutes and had watched as many tables sat open and available for the duration of our wait. We were so glad we had decided to stay at the bar to eat. I ordered the lettuce wraps with shrimp, which were very tasty, although I wasn't really sure why they came with a few slices of carrot in the middle of the plate - they seemed kind of out of place. We ordered the taco kids meal for my daughter with beef and chicken. The tacos literally consisted of tortilla, cheese and meat - no vegetables whatsoever, which was disappointing since she would probably have eaten any veggie inside of her tacos. They came with rice. The service in the bar area was fine and we found that most of the service staff were friendly. Overall, though, we were not impressed. While some of the food was really good, most of it was nothing great. The really big disappointment in our experience was the issue with people waiting for tables while tons of tables sat open and available, coupled with the fact that the hostesses underestimated by 15 minutes how long they would make us wait for a table (despite the fact that many sat open that entire time). If the restaurant was short staffed then the hostesses should have told us that we could sit at a table but it may take a while to be attended to, but just making us wait for a table for 45 minutes with a two year old while plenty of tables sat empty was totally ridiculous.

Delicious! Had the special of the day as an appetizer, $3 Pork Slider with French Fries. The pulled bbq pork is very tender, juicy and flavorful. Quite the hit! I ordered: 4 soft tacos: 2 lime chicken and 2 carnitas. All delicious and very flavorful. They don't skimp out on the protein either. They go very heavy on the raw onions FYI. OK service! Our girl could have been better at explaining their $3 Pork Slider special that already comes with fries and how easily one can get stuffed with that alone! Well at least for me. We had ordered one for each person at the table. SMH! Portions are generous and great for family casual dining.

I've heard great things about this place. And it lived up to its expectation. The staff was friendly, the place was clean with nice decor and the food was full of flavor. Our server Michelle was fantastic. She made great recommendations and was just all around a great server, always checking up on us and suggesting this delicious mango hot sauce (caution very hot). The portions were huge. We got the Mixtos (sautéed chicken and carne asada with onions and mushroom covered with melted cheese) great app lots of food. So full of flavor. I literally moaned a yum with every bite. Split it with my fiancé and needless to say I was full already. He ordered the Chimi burrito which was delicious. I only had a bite because I was so full. But it's like a dinner in a burrito. Chimi flavored rice with sweet plantains and your choice of meat. Oh and cheese of course a generous amount of cheese. He's a big guy and only ate half. Next time we are in Miami we will have to stop by again. :)

Been to Latin House twice now..... First time.....came here for lunch They had a special for $3 sliders.. I ordered: -vaca frita and pulled pork sliders: The sliders were amazing! I was very surprised by how good they were..... very.... I was even more pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat in the sliders. Sliders are obviously smaller than actual burgers, but they were jam packed with meat. Very dense little guys. I will order these again next time I go and definitely recommend them. Awesome value! -ribeye tacos- These were decent. I would rate these 3 or 4 stars. -1/2 pound madlove The Original. The burger was awesome... can't describe it any better than that. - balls to the wall (dessert)- damnn these were frickin good... brownie balls covered in funnel cake batter with the little side of condensed milk... Highly recommend these! Second time at Latin House... - Timba: Fried cheese squares with a guava sauce. It's fried cheese, it can only taste awesome. The guava sauce is sweet and complements the salty fried cheese. This was a good dish, I'd order it again, no doubt. -Carne Con Queso: This one I wasn't as impressed with. I'd rate a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's melted cheese with a couple chunks of carne asada in the bottom. You dip with nachos. Wouldn't order them again. -** The Elvis Burger: Damn this burger was amazing... starts off with a super flavorful burger patty... it has a 3 cheese blend on top, and what I like is that they put plenty of cheese!! I love that they load up their burgers. On the bottom of the burger they layer grape jelly, peanut butter, and sweet plantains. Easily 5 out 5. -Champ & Mexican: Also had a bite of these burgers. The people who I came with ate them and they were also very satisfied with the quality of the burgers. **I have ONE COMPLAINT about Latin House. I ordered the balls to wall again, this time with ice cream. As I was eating the ice cream I thought to myself, this tastes like cheap ice cream, it kinda sucks... Something you'd get from a quicky mart. It added nothing to the dessert. When I see the check, I see that the ice cream has a $5 up charge! $5 for that crappy ass ice cream is ridiculous! Either change the ice cream, change the price, or better yet change BOTH! **The burgers at Latin House.... up to this point are the BEST I've tried in Miami... There are still many big players I haven't tried yet... and I also LOVE OTC burgers, but with Latin House you get larger portions (if you read my reviews you know I'm huge on portions) and I feel like you get your moneys worth. They don't cheapen out on portions and ingredients which is why I am giving them such high praise with their burgers.

My cousins raved about this place and made me watch a segment on tv about it so my bf and I decided to visit it for our date night. I'll have to call him up tomorrow and inform them on my disappointment. We arrived at 9:30 and waited about 35 minutes for a table that had been open since we had gotten there. The place closed in an hour and there was a line of people waiting at the bar to get a table so that can be understandable if they're under staffed. We were then seated on a sticky booth with no silverware or napkins. We didn't receive any our entire visit, but I could tell that our server, Jessika, was just very busy and that's understandable too. We ordered 3 1/4lb burgers: the champ, the Cuban, and the French with an egg on top. It took about 30-40 minutes for our food to arrive but it is made to order according the the menu. I was really disappointed because our burger orders actually came out wrong. The French burger had no egg and they also forgot to add the honey so it just tasted like a plain burger with Brie cheese. The champ was a let down as well. The Cuban was the only one we really enjoyed and my bf just thought it was okay. I didn't ask to have the burger corrected because it already took so long and I didn't want to bug our nice server. I had ordered a glass of sangria (red) and that was pretty tasty. I am a very light drinker and would usually get a buzz from half a glass of sangria anywhere, but this was practically sprite. Our server brought me a second sangria on the house because of the wait which was really nice but honestly I just wanted to go home. Jessika was very sweet from beginning to end and I think she's an excellent employee. I sincerely think the place was understaffed for a Friday night. The food was sub-par, maybe 1.5/5 stars. I must have come on a bad night. I'm even a little nauseous as I type. :(
(2)Judy M.
Great casual night out!! Comfort food at its finest... Vaca frita on everything! Latin spice to sure put a smile on your face...great service and lively ambiance...Chimiburrito is my go-to dish!... Or go for the vaca frita burger with a fried egg!...PS: leave room for dessert
(4)Elizabeth M.
I am obsessed with this place!!! We order the muffin top burgers (1/4 lb. patties) so we can enjoy different yummy variations. My all-time favorites are the Cuban (queso blanco and guava jelly) and the Elvis (3 cheeses, peanut butter & jelly and plantains). TRUST ME! The fries on the side are curly and thinly sliced. I haven't had a chance to try anything else on the menu because they are that good!!! Jorge is the BEST waiter there - fast and friendly! He made a huge difference in our meal last night and we go there all the time! Just a note, they make their own soda Latin House Cola which resembles a Ritz cola and isn't that good in my opinion. I always ask for a Mexican Coke which is a Coke in the glass bottle and always hits the spot! Overall BEST BURGERS in town!
(5)Amanda T.
I have passed by this restaurant several times and never made it a point to dine her until I saw them on Diners drive ins and dives which got me craving it. When we arrived we were seated within 5 minutes even though the restaurant was not completely full I assume they had us wait because they didn't have many servers that being said I didn't mind the wait because the service ended up being great. The menu is large and had a lot of options. As an appetizer we ordered the chunks and butterflies which was good but the shrimp was def the star of the plate. I ordered a glass of the white sangria and it was refreshing a great drink to go along with my order of the tostadas which to my surprise was large and tasted amazing! My boyfriend ordered the taqueria calle tacos and said they were great, I honetly didn't even try his because I was so busy enjoying every last bite of my plate. Great restaurant Isee myself returning very soon just sad it took me so long to try this place out.

To quote that famous Diana Ross track, Latin House Grill is the spiciest hangover. I thought I had a good grip on spicy food, but I hadn't tried their mango habanero wings! Finding myself in Kendall and starving on a Friday night, I decided to check out Latin House Grill. Besides, I figured that spicy food would help me beat the freezing 60s. The hostess was friendly, letting me browse the menu and pointing me toward the bar so I wouldn't have to wait the 20 minutes average. Besides, there were a couple of TV's where I saw the Miami Heat own the Knicks! Since I had skipped lunch, I went with a double order: the Chimi Burrito and a small order of wings. The burrito had a decent meat to rice ratio, and the queso and Pico de Gallo gave it a yummy kick. The sweet surprise was the chopped up sweet plantains ("maduros") inside, playing well with the spice. Next up were the wings: half BBQ and half mango habanero. While the BBQ ones had a strong smokey taste, the spicy mango kicked me. I got smoothed over by the slightly sweet mango then the habanero chili hit me. I felt the full effect (numb lips and fire in my belly) but left happy. The wings could have been a little meatier, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The bar crew was also timely in getting my soda refills.
(4)Loren C.
Not horrible, but definitely not great. Our food was boring, and the flavors just seemed really off. We'd heard a ton of good things about this place, but we had a really disappointing experience. We left feeling a little nauseous. Maybe there was something wrong with their kitchen staff that night. We won't be coming back.
(2)Connie C.
What a HORRENDOUS experience! Service was slow, food was charged with "extras" never told... Food was cold, hamburguer not cooked to what was asked! Espresso machine broken, so no coffee--- as told by the server! Very disappointed. Never coming back nor recommending it!!! Terrible!
(1)Amanda T.
Overpriced for the amount of food you get but definitely good quality ingredients. :)
(4)Josue Z.
I'm not a big foodie, but when something lands on my taste bud and makes an explosion of excitement I HAVE TO talk about it. Let's start from the beginning, walked in and it's super hippy, stylish, sleek, up beat all in one. Sitting around me is all walks of life. I have a family with a loud son, next to them are two handicap senior citizens, myself and family with a 3 month. Several couples near by. So the kind of people it attracts is many of different backgrounds. I take it these people know GREAT food since I've just experienced the BEST burger EVER. The waiter (Jonathan) was on POINT with everything. Attention to detail. Never had less then half a cup of soda. Once we were done with our Calamari that had this sauce that was made in heaven and dripped off of a cloud and landed at Latin House Grill..lol. Sauce was insane!!!! My order was The Champ and the French Slider. WOW!!! The Champ burger was so juicy and perfectly cooked. The sauce that was in it had a hint of spice. Guacamole I believe, I only say I Believe cause I ate it with my eyes closed; that's how awesome it was. I didn't think the French Burger could be better then that and I was absolutely Wrong. I really wanted to give it a bad critique but I couldn't. I just couldn't believe how awesome BOTH of these burgers were. The French was the opposite in taste. It had a more sweeter approach. Perfect mix and combo!! Sweet and Spicy!!! The sweet potato slices NOM NOM NOM!!! The end!! I can't believe this place has been rated anything less then 4 stars. Gotta go!! Dessert just got here....I'm not gonna write about it because if u aren't coming here based on what I just finished saying then u don't deserve to hear about this dessert. Peace!!
(5)Lyn P.
I asked my client where the best burgers were in the area and he did not hesitate to say that Latin House was it. So we went for lunch and I had a great experience. The menu has a lot of inventive burgers and several options for ordering. I think it is genius that they have a slider option where you can order two different types of burgers. I ordered the Elvis (peanut butter, plantains and I added bacon) and the Champ (bacon, avocado, jalapeno). I LOVED the Elvis (I did skip the cheese and added bacon and be forewarned you have to like peanut butter for this to be a hit. The Champ was fine but in hindsight I probably should have ordered the Cuban (queso blanco and guyaba marmalade) because I was super jealous of my client's choice. Another bonus was they have house made potato chips. SOOO GOOD! Service was great and I would definitely recommend to others and come back next time I'm in Miami.
(4)Randy R.
Man I can say I have eaten burgers in a lot of places around south florida but I just had one of the best burgers ever today at this place. I had the original with avocado slices and an egg. What a blast of flavors in my mouth! I recommend you try this place ASAP. One added plus was the owner going table to table introducing himself and making sure you are comfortable and happy with your food. Service was outstanding by the crew in the restaurant. Desert was also a delight we had the balls to the wall and i will finish this with a WOW.
(5)Chris M.
These burgers are off the charts. Amazing flavors, all very fresh, with very generous portion sizes. Ambience is hip and service was great. We tried the signature ceviche as a appetizer. It was a bit heavy on the tongue. It was very good, although not as successful as the burgers. Our table sampled 4 of their signature burgers: The Mexican, The Original, The Champ & The French. All were very unique with stellar flavors. The Mexican was the standout, the Original being a close second (imagine the perfect All-American burger flavor, this is it). All burgers come with their "Tangled Love Fries" (Home Made Potato Chips) which were equally as excellent. Latin House Grill is well worth a trip to South Miami. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Arthur S.
The food was great but service is very slow! Took well over an hour and the place was empty.. Made me late to work. Food took very long to come out.. Also the waiter didn't check on us to see how we were doing.. When we were ready to order we had to wait, when we wanted to order dessert we had to wait a long time and same thing when we wanted to pay.. All this waiting with only 4 other tables between 2 servers.. But at least the food was good and the dessert was free
(3)Donna D.
I love this place so much that even thinking of it makes my mouth water. I've never come here during the evening or night, I've heard of the wait times. Lunch time, during the week, it is perfect. The burgers are all so different and juicy and delicious. I've had the brie and almond, the chorizo stuffed, the Elvis, and oh my goodness. They all leave me in so much love for burgers. Portions are perfect, even the smallest size burger, is super filling. And the desserts!!! Either split your burger, or have the smaller sized one, but try and leave some room for the dessert! I love the atmosphere here, the look of the place, and the amazing food.
(5)Frank D.
Chimi Burrito was amazing. Big flour tortilla with chuchi rice and sweet plantains and chicken. HUGE! You'll probably take one half of it home. Drizzled with a garlic sauce and sour cream. Great decor indoors. Nice and cool as it was so hot outside.
(5)Tangerine J.
First timer, ordered The Champ 1\4lb. burger. The burger is bursting with flavor ,and the candied jalapenos adds a nice kick. The burger came with a pile of potato chip like "tangle" that was soggy and greasy. Glad I stopped in but wouldn't be a regular.
(3)Gilda F.
This has to be one of the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in a while. This place is empty. The wait took over an hour and a half to be served a watery lobster bisque. I ordered pig wings with a sweet glaze sauce, came out super spicy. And my friend's burger was over cooked. It seems as if the kitchen was back up. I'm very disappointed. Maybe the food is kinda good. I wouldn't know. The service here definitely is the reason I am never coming here again.
(1)Merly M.
I've been following Latin House Grill for what seems like forever on Instagram, and I had wanted to go, but at the same time didn't want to because their self-promo's seemed annoying in the same way that I think Guy Fieri is annoying. In-your-face-trying-too-hard-to-be-cool. (Coincidentally, I believe Guy Fieri has visited this restaurant and they have a stencil of his face on one of their walls alongside his signature.) Also, I live like 45 minutes away from this restaurant. Finally, I wanted to see what all the hype was about and I went in for lunch today. There's a reason for the hype; the place is good. Here's why: The decor is pretty cool and trendy; lots of sugar skulls, graffiti-style art, concrete walls, and exposed light fixtures. My only gripe was that the booths seemed kind of cheap. When we went to sit down, I think I took my booth back with me about half a foot. The service was fantastic. Every employee that came into contact with us was polite, attentive, and had a smile on their face. Our waiter, whose name I cannot remember, knew the menu, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal recommendations. He was always there to refill our drinks or give us more napkins when we needed them, and when we rattled off our long order at the very beginning (without giving him much time to even greet us) he got it all right and timed all of our dishes perfectly. The food was excellent. My mom ordered the Sneaky Nachos with chicken, with the intention of eating it as her entree, but they were so HUGE that we asked them to pack half before we even began. We also ordered the Chips and Pico, which was good. It wasn't anything out of this world, but the pico was fresh tasting. As another appetizer we got the Pig Wings in Asian sauce (as recommended) and that was phenomenal. The pork was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was really flavorful. The best part was that they place the "wings" over a bed of their Tangled Love Fries, so the fries soak up all the delicious sauce. (The fries are amaaaazing.) For my entree I ordered The Champ (1/2 lb). I got it between two lettuce leaves, but the burger was so juicy and drippy that it was impossible to actually eat it with my hands. No matter, using a fork and knife doesn't diminish from how good it was. The burger had everything I loved in it - bacon, cheese, avocado...etc. Delicious! Again, my only gripe was that I asked for it to be cooked rare and instead I got a burger that was more medium-well. (Most of these kinds of places won't cook, er not cook, the burger the way I like it for safety reasons.) Since I already had the Tangled Love Fries I opted for Sweet Petals on the side of my burger. They were good, but not as good as the regular fries. They were also over-fried in the middle, so that many of them were soft and chewy in places. Not really a big deal. I just ate all the crispy parts. Anyway, this got long. The place is good. Go there. Eat the food. Be happy. :)
(5)Lauren C.
I've been here a couple times and LOVE the burgers, love the service, love the appetizers, especially the steak nachos! My one complaint... they are all the way in Kendall and I am all the way in Broward. They have some pretty unique burgers so if you're looking to try more than one order the muffin tops so you can try two mini burger choices in one meal.
(5)Murielle D.
I love this place, over the course of a few months I've ordered and dined here and the menu had a lot to choose from. My favorite item is the taqueria street tacos, they are delicious and the crema is delicious! I've tried the grilled chimi burrito and let me say that it's huge, two people can share it and it won't disappoint. I haven't had a burger but that's next! The only thing that disappointed is that I've had to pick up my food after I ordered online for delivery, that should specify delivery isn't available. The food is great though.
(4)Andrea C.
great chips and burgers. Recommend the original burger. Service is good. Go early on the weekends.
(4)Carlos A.
Great place to be for lunch , the burritos are great and their burgers are of the chain
(4)Kenny W.
This place is pretty good, it's different than other places. Their signature dishes are the chimi burrito and mad love burger, their tacos are pretty damn good as well. It's a bit pricey for the kind of food they make, but I would still highly recommend them. The owners are wonderful people and have worked their tails off for years (since their truck days) to get this spot open and running.
(5)Melissa M.
Love having this place nearby. The food is always excellent. I love the candied jalapeño on everything. I wish they had more choices for sides with the burgers. Can't wait for lobster rolls to be back on the menu. Beer selection is great as well.
(5)Jessie D.
I had the worse experience of my restaurant life at this place. I was with my 4 year old daughter, 7 year old niece and 4 friends. Ordered our food, mine was terrible. It tasted disgusting and the putrid smell coming out of those pig wings was unbearable. I kindly told the waitress and whispered what my plate smelled like. A few minutes later, the owner came and was so so so rude, classless and just disgusting with me and the whole table. We were completely appalled. She actually even told me that she doesn't appreciate me insulting her chef. WOW! Didn't know that not liking a plate on the menu and saying that it smelled putrid was an insult. So much to write but in a nutshell : WILL NEVER EVER step foot in here again and as a business owner myself will make sure all my clients know about this experience. Still can't believe that lady is the owner.
(1)Alejandro M.
We went there yesterday, waited and hour to sit, 45 minutes for the food, plenty of empty tables, 3 overcooked hamburgers, 1 maduro in my chimiburrito, and 5 pissed off customers. Won't go back, and im guessing the people in the table next to us who got up and walked out won't either.
(1)Henry A.
NPS = 7 Great nachos and pretty ok bar too. It's great that they offered Brooklyn Brewery's Local 2 bottles. Corked in a large bottle (750 ml bottle approx), it is definitely the beer of choice here. For starters, definitely get the vaca frita nachos. It's nachos with shredded marinated beef on top and totally worth it. The burritos are also a large size and they even have lettuce wraps in case you are trying to watch your figure. We came here for a friend's birthday and the crew was very helpful...they even saved the cake we brought to be served later in the night. I believe Latin House started as a food truck and now has become a brick and mortar. You definitely get a taste and feel for the food truck origins. To make this place better I would probably teach the bar crew a little bit more about the craft beers they serve. This is only so they are better equipped to describe the different beers they offer. But other than that, this place is alright in my book.
(3)Catherine G.
Everything is fucking delicious! The fried chimi burrito! Balls to the wall dessert, timba, tacos
(5)Diana R.
Good food and great service ! Had the cuban burger, nachos and the shrimp ceviche.. Everything was delicious!
(4)Steve S.
First time here it went great but now I'm here again. One hour and a half later no food. Food is great but today was a disaster.
(1)Dennis M.
Amazing food and service all around. Burgers are extremely juicy and tasty. Tried the original, champ, Cuban and French burgers. All over-the-top with flavor. Champ was my fav by far. Had a little kick that was just right. Oh, and the balls to the wall dessert left me in a food coma. Que Rico! Have to come and try for yourselves!
(5)Gary H.
Had the Cuban sliders, very tasty and surprisingly filling. Our waitress Michele was very attentive. As luck would have tonight was Belgian tasting that featured our 3 favorite beers on s complimentary flight with a Hogaarten, a Stella and a Leffe all great beers from Belgium. Good value for the money, nice atmospheres,
(5)Miley M.
First time visitor here. My SO and I came here during our lunch hour. We waited about two minutes upon entering for someone to acknowledge us and seat us. Five minutes into us being seated another table was also seated, given menus, and had gotten their drink orders taken to their table. Meanwhile, there we are waiting for our waitress or for someone to greet us. Nothing. The place wasn't busy enough to use that as an excuse. The whole other side of the restaurant was empty, about 6 open tables on the left side, and an empty bar. Safe to say, I didn't feel bad about leaving. As we were getting up to leave some other waitress came up to us and said "Your waitress will be here soon". I think I'll save myself the trip next time and go somewhere else that will provide actual service.

The tacos I ordered where fresh and tasty, and dessert was awesome. I can't wait to go back. Very nice atmosphere and also great service.

I have been here twice before, it's a cute place, not too much seating but they try to seat you as soon as possible if there is a wait. Had their fried calamari as an appetizer which was very good; really enjoyed the sauces it came with on the side. I've also had the Pig Wings as an appetizer, and they were really really good too. I shared a Chimi Burrito (which was definitely a good idea), it is very big & extremely good. Half was enough for me. It comes with these fries/chips on the side which were also super tasty!

Don't be tempted by the other delicious things on the menu, go with one of the burgers, you'll be glad you did. The meat was so flavorful and cooked to perfection and it just got better with every bite. I also tried the chimi burrito, hearing good things about it, but it left me disappointed and preferring a burrito from chipotle any day. Maybe sweet burritos just aren't my thing. Anyhow, very cool place with a bar, multiple flat screens and plenty of seating.

Great food! Delicious sangria (Mix red+white) and for the most part decent service. The muffin tops (sliders) are amazing!! French, Cuban, Bulgarian, American, Champion, Western... You cant go wrong with any! The nachos are an explosion of flavor! My personal favorite is carne asada or ribeye. The chimi burrito makes any other burritos wanna cry #fact. If you want more of an entrée the carne asada is the way to go. Its simple, go try it for yourself

I have been going to the ~ Latin House Grill ~ when it was just a traveling food truck back in August 11, 2011 ~ trying to establish a name for itself at the height of the "Food Truck Wars" in South Florida. Well since then we have watched them change from a tiny caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly ~ living the American Dream of success and evolving into one of the best burger joints in our three counties. On our last experience we went for lunch and tired a delightful new array of items (see photo's) We started off with a new appetizer ~ ~ Queso Fondue ~ "A blend of 3 cheeses and Mexican chorizo, melted and served w/ fresh tortilla chips." ~ We where expecting a creamy cheesy, mouth watering fondue mixture that was light and fluffy and to be able to dip our freshly made tortilla chips (...that were great) into this creation with ease ~ NOT - It was just a nicely melted array of hot cheeses layered over the top of their house interruptions of a "latin" chorizo that was rather greasy. ~ Don't get me wrong, it was good, but we had to struggle to get the cheese onto our chips (without braking them) by either using a knife and fork to enjoy this treat. Maybe our expectations of what a "fondue" is has been recreated to meet their consumer interruption. (rating ~ three stars) Now, if you have not been here before, you can order two sizes of burgers. Their rather lager (1/2 lb. burgers called "Madlove") or ... ...for us the smart thing to do to enjoy their large variety of burgers is to place your order as ~ two, 1/4 lb. burgers called "Muffin Tops" ~ which are all made fresh with brisket, chuck, and sirloin combination that is ground daily and served on a freshly baked Brioche bun. This gives you the ability to cut them in half, letting you share with your partner the variety of mixing and matching of burgers that you haven't tried. ~ (Oh yes, there is a strategy behind my madness for experiencing all their treats) ~ ...and i suggest having your burgers prepared via the "chiefs recommendation" which is today was "medium". (juicy, tender and well very seasoned). ~~ Let's get down to what we indulged ourselves with ~~ ~Entrees: ~ Our "Muffin Tops" selection for today's was (see photo's): ~The "Original" ~ "THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL", the Award Winning, three cheeses, two strips of thick cut apple-wood smoked, maple glazed bacon, butter grilled onions & mushrooms, Avocado-Lime, creme. ~ (rating ~ five stars) ~The "French" ~ Brie Cheese, Sliced Almonds, and Honey. (rating ~ five stars) ~All orders are served with a side of their "Tangled Love" fries which are excellent. Light, crunchy and salty ~ I suggest getting a small side of honey to dip them into because to me It just enhances there flavor to that height that your tasted buds are exploding with pleasure. (...oh my!) ~Desert: ~ Sweeddos" ~ OMG, what a burst of flavors ~ they are freshly made Madagascar vanilla dough fried to perfection and "injected" with "leche condensada" and drizzled with warm maple syrup and lightly powered sugar. ~ Something that can really appreciate coming from Miami-Dade County's Latin/Cuban cuisine. (rating ~ five stars) Well their "fame and fortune" has been well recognized throughout South Florida and now nationally (Apr 25, 2014) by The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives starring Guy Fier. ~ (see photo's) The service is always excellent and the establishment is colorful and very well decorated with large bright graphics (...like the Wynwood Walls of Miami) ~ One thing that we love is the hundreds of large bare light bulbs dangling from their high ceiling on a black industrial cords in an architecture appealing array of symmetrical design. They do have multiple very large screen HD TV's placed throughout their establishment making our dining a little more exciting by watching the 2014 World Cup a pleasure. Remember, that they do have a variety of ice cold draft beers to help you quench your thirst. ~The bottom line: I have never be disappointed when I have gone there and would given it four-and-a-half stars but we have no such rating. ~ So then, it's a solid four stars for it is always nice to try to motivate establishments by discreetly pointing out very small weakness, in your opinion, something in their menu or service so they can strive to improve your next culinary experience. Cheers!

Service: The service was horrendous. We went on a weeknight. They had tons of empty tables, but i guess not enough staff, so we waited like 30 or 40 minutes. Waiter was very busy, messed up our order. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer but he forgot to put it in so it never came. We ordered two different burgers, and both burgers were missing ingredients. For example, one was supposed to have avocado and came with no avocado on the burger. Another was supposed to have crema mexicana but did not have that either. Each burger was missing 2 or 3 of its listed ingredients. The waiter gave us a free drink and 10% off for messing up the order so bad, but the experience still was terrible. Food: If you put aside the fact that we received orders that were missing ingredients, and that the service sucked, the food was actually really good. Burgers were great. The 1/4 pound burgers are smaller than i thought they would be, but tasted amazing. Overall: The terrible service/understaffing at this place is it's achilles heel. This place would get 5 stars if the wait/service/staffing weren't so poor. This restaurant is another classic case of maximizing profit at the expense of customer service. With plenty of empty tables, no one should be waiting. Hire more staff. Also if the waiter had a reasonable workload, he wouldn't be messing up orders. Once again, hire more staff. It's a shame that such awesome food is being held hostage to such bad service. Would love to eat here again, but don't want to wait 40 minutes to get the wrong order/incomplete items again. HIRE MORE STAFF.

Unlike everyone else I didn't hear about them from food trucks. I first about that place on ch 7. I told my older brother about it do he came to eat, he loved the place so he got me a $50 certificate. I decided it to use it on my anniversary and I won't regret it. We had the sneaky nachos w/vaca frite, pigs wings & for dinner the chuchi yellow rice w/vaca frita & the taqueria calle w/vaca frita & carne asada. It was all delicious. The service was great and so was the food. I'm glad I heard about this place.
(5)Lucy E.
A twist on Hispanic food, delicious! Very large portions, fresh, flavorful! We went for lunch, had the nachos, split with vaca frita and cilantro Lime chicken. We loved it! Shared the chimiburrito, also delicious! Hats down to the chef and team! We'll be back!
(5)Ilene L.
I liked the food until my friend got food poisoning off the almond burger. Just ruined the thought of ever going back there. I had the deep fried burrito and it was delicious.
(2)Clelia C.
Good food and service. Tasty and creative menu offerings. Fair pricing. Nice decor. Good location.
(4)George I.
Known for their burgers. Nice place the only complaint was that it was a bit hot. Other than that the menu looked pretty unique. Service was decent. My biggest complaint is that I had the burrito that when arrived looked amazing! It tasted totally delicious but the tortilla it was in was so ridiculously weak that upon picking it up fell apart & after the first bite things got worse. However very delicious do recommend & will go back to try their burgers

I give this restaurant three stars, mainly because of the service... My husband and I went on a Sunday night around 8 pm. The hostess told us that it would be a 15 minute wait for a table of 2. We noticed that a quarter of the tables were empty but we patiently waited. After about 25 minutes, we noticed that the hostess had disappeared and now the restaurant was half-emptied. I asked one of the servers at the bar if I could speak to the manager. The manager seated us within 2 minutes but the hostess was still nowhere to be found. The manager ended up being our waitress, which leaded us to believe that they were short-staffed... Something that seems common from reading other Yelp reviews. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer that took over 30 minutes for it to be served. However, it was delicious. From there it took another 30 minutes to get our burgers, which were absolutely delicious. We weren't even done with our burgers, when the manager/waitress asked us if we wanted dessert... "Now, you're hurrying us up!?!?!? Oh hell no" was what went through my mind. My husband told her to give us a moment. Eventually, we did order dessert, Balls to the Wall... Amazing. We took our sweet time eating it. As we were finishing up, we noticed that the staff starting cleaning. The manager clearly takes on a lot of roles in this restaurant because while she was sweeping and cleaning, one of the waiters and one of the busboys were standing behind the bar, on their phones. My husband wants to return but it will be without me... Although the food was delicious, I don't appreciate having such bad customer service.

Started with a foodtruck now we're here. In Kendall that is. They started spreading their Deliciousness in a foodtruck that lead to the first location. Located in a small strip mall with a nice size parking lot. The restaurants has plenty of seating inside. I have had the queso fondio and the lobster bisque both were tasty as a appetizer. So are the Hawaiian mini burgers. Small cheeseburgers on sweet mini rolls. Delicious. I also have had the tacos with shrimp and steak. The shrimp ones are addicting. The chimi is one of their popular dishes. It's a fried chimichonga with rice, maduros, and whatever protein you choose. They are tasty. Also the flatoon. It's a flour tortilla with your choice of protein and vegetables on top of it. They also have a large of burgers to sample. They must be good cause they have won awards from Burger Beast for Best Burger. They also have a decent selection of craft beers on draft and bottles to. The best time to come is during the week or before 6 cause it usually get packed after on Fridays and the weekend.

I went to Latin house for my brothers birthday during super bowl weekend. The Service was painfully slow and the place wasn't packed. I ordered a Frita from there and it was undercooked and loaded with that guava ketchup and full of spices, they get my drinks wrong and to top it all off, my grandmothers bank account info was apparently stolen from one of the servers at latin house. Avoid it.
(1)Mirielle C.
I've been to Latin house on two occasions. I really enjoyed my first visit, we had the steak nachos, which were amazing and I definitely recommend you try. I had the burger sampler. The Frita was the best burger, in my opinion. The burgers are huge, they're very good. On my second visit, I had the Chimi burrito. I was expecting to like it more than I did. It wasn't bad, but not one single bite had that WOW factor I was looking for, which surprised me because I love sweet and salty foods and this burrito has plantains in it. My mom also ordered the Chimi burrito and she found a screw in hers....,shocking I know. It was an isolated incident we were assured, they said the screw fell off the lid of their rice maker. It was a lil scary cause what if my mom had broken a tooth because of it? They comped her meal and brought us dessert to make up for it which was a nice gesture. My sister has ordered the tacos for take out before, which she loved. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else, just not the burrito because it just didn't have that wow factor I was looking for. **update** Order the tacos and the sweeddos! The best I've ordered from their menu. I ordered it on my last visit and felt compelled to update my review.
(4)Carlos M.
Ok her I go: So when I got there and thr place looked really neat, waiter was kind and professional. The place was clean When ordering the plates are a bit small on the entree, looks like it's more like appetizers. Order the chimi burrito with vaca frita, the meat was BEYOND salty!! The fries are ok The tables are very weird as it's pretty uncomfortable, they keep moving and are not gripped on the floor. Expect a very big delay when ordering your meal as they take forever!!! Will I be back? maybe as I can't judge the other plates and won't be my preference for future eating.
(3)Dinorah a.
Unacceptable service !!! We arrived at 8pm & the hostess told us wait was 45mins, While we waited we ordered drinks and a guacamole we kept seeing empty tables and no one was being seated. We had 9 parties in front of us and there were 6 tables empty , my husband went to ask why they were not seating on those empty booths & they answered that the kitchen is too small to handle all the tables being occupied .. We got seated 9pm We ordered appetizers & entrees all at once , It is now 9:42pm we r still waiting for our entrees!!! Atrocious service !!! NEVER AGAIN !!
(1)Yesenia A.
Came here for taco Tuesday. The carnitas taco was ok.. Our server Jessika suggested the rib eye and they were delicious. Great service! She was awesome! I will definitely be returning.
(5)Nataly S.
My husband came here for lunch with friends and had sliders. He hated them and never wanted to come back (although picky as he is, he'll eat just about anything). We go for his friend's graduation dinner (he was really excited about that :sarcasm:). It was a set menu. Mexican food is what they're known for so I told my husband he should try something "Latin." We had a choice between "calle ocho tacos" "tostadas" and two burgers. The waiter recommended the tacos since I was between that and the tostadas. I got them with fish tempura (surprisingly good since I'm not a tempura fan) and carne asana (not that great..the meat was a bit rubbery). My husband got the Frita (which he loved). I tried a piece. That guava ketchup was delicious. It tasted like guava BBQ. I also ordered a red sangria (very refreshing and juicy...tastes more like juice cocktail but I liked it). Saw them making a mix of red and white and a waiter told me I can try it. That was very nice but the mix tasted like medicine. They said the red is sweeter than the white. Once I tasted the mix I was like "red is fine, thanks." The pico de gallo is also delicious but I'm a huge fan of it and you really can't mess that up. In the end, my husband was still not a fan of this place. Now...why I'm rating it 1 star (and that's because I can't rate 0). We went last night with friends for dinner. My husband had a rough day since he wasn't feeling well earlier. I wasn't starving (and I'm so glad I wasn't). Unfortunately, for our friends and my husband (who pretty much hadn't eaten much all day)...they were starving. It was 7:30pm when we put our names on the wait list. Wait time: 35mins (that must've been a rude joke). There were tons of people outside. They said feel free to order appetizers and drinks (umm, that's okay 30mins isn't that bad). An HOUR AND 20mins later we're seated. The place has a bunch of booths available. Hmm...so they must be short staffed, whatever. The waiter comes by, we order our drinks. Sangria is still good and juicy (refreshing is what I needed after sitting outside so long). So everyone's getting the "chimi burrito" it was all that was talked about since our friends loved it. I'm not a fan of rice in my burritos and plantains, for me, are a must on the side...I don't mix them with my food...ever. So, after much contemplation, I give in and say I'll try the chimi burrito and I tell the waiter to please give me the plantains on the side (my friend did the same since she hates them but her bf loves them). I asked if the "chimi" rice was a must bc I'm not a fan. Waiter said its better bc it won't give the full effect. Fine. Mind you, it's now 9pm. Didn't take us long to order. After ordering, some people were seated in the empty booths next to us. They ordered and got their dinner before us....really??? Again, whatever. Waiter finally appears with our burritos. He starts by saying (paraphrased of course)... Waiter: "I have some bad news" (really??), "the chef did not put the plantains on the side. He's trying to perfect the menu so he does not want to change anything. He's no longer accepting changes to orders. If it was me, I wouldn't care, but he's trying hard to get the menu perfect." Me: "so basically, if you have a plantain allergy, you're screwed because the chef doesn't want to make changes." Waiter: "well since he knows no one is really allergic to plantains, that's why he's doing it. He's perfecting the menu." WOW! You have to be kidding me?! Where are the candid cameras right now?! I was so mad...not because there were plantains in my burrito but the principle behind this entire conversation. I'm not sure if this was an inputting error by the waiter or what he said was true. If it is true, then it should have been stated from the beginning and/or the menu should specify it so we could have changed our order. Regardless, that was the worst costumer service I've ever received at a restaurant! So I try the burrito (this masterpiece that cannot be changed....which being a foodie, I can understand...but this is not a 5 star restaurant with a well-renowned chef AND this was NOT a chef's plate/choice/special on the menu! Anyway...I taste it. It was like arroz con pollo (Cuban yellow rice with chicken), cheese, and plantains all together in a wrap. I will repeat, I do NOT eat my plantains with anything...that's why they're on the side! The rice was bland and dry. Chicken was okay...definitely did not taste like cilantro or lime. So I just picked out the chicken and had my side of pico de gallo with chips. Worst plate ever. I get why people may like it since many people like the mix of arroz con pollo with plantains but there's many people who don't! Your goal should be to make the customers happy. Clearly that's not this chef's goal. Not sure if I'll be back now. Plantain allergies exist (you can be allergic to almost anything): rightdiagnosis.com/f/foo… Educate yourself!
(1)Nicholas C.
The good: Food was delicious. Very yummy. Very attentive waitress. Waitress helped to find solutions with a soup problem. Food seemed to be made with lots of care and creativity. The Bad: Kind of loud. Unfortunately we were put in the darkest corner of the restaurant. (Careful of the right side) Because the food is made creativity it takes awhile to get your meal. 15-20 after we finished our appetizers.
(5)Yanela G.
First of all the food is honestly a solid 4 on its own, however do not come here if you want decent service, it will only frustrate you, also don't come here if you have any kind of time crunch. You will not be leaving within the hour and it doesn't matter how busy or not busy it is, could be empty its still a struggle, which is a shame because the burritos are awesome, malanga chips are too. Need a better staff overall
(2)Rosa Q.
This was my first time here and the food was great. I had the vaca frita nachos,the taco's and a dessert made of fried cake balls injected with dulce de leche and drizzeled with honey. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Juan F.
The food is always fresh.The consistency of the food is amazing plus I dig the craft beer selection and house soda.Cant go wrong with the mad love burger,tacos,or chimi burrito.
(5)Edwin L.
Just excellent! Everything that we ordered was great. Out of this world burger! Excellent service. Everything it's BIG!! AAA+
(5)Lissette V.
I came in on a weekday with my best friend after the wait was to long at Flannigans. Boy was I happy she introduced me to Latin House Grill even though we had several bumps during our dining experience. We started off with red sangrias which were pretty good and a queso dip with chorizo which was yummy. The server brought out the wrong appetizer we originally wanted but the queso dip was none the less delicious. I ate the Chimi Burrito w/o rice b/c they had run out of rice but I still manage to drool when I think of it. I had asked for no sauce on the burrito but someone messed up & it came with the sauce. The server was great she noticed and w/o saying anything she offered us a free dessert after all the bumps we encountered. I can't wait to come back and eat the burrito and other items on the menu.
(4)Rick C.
On at least two websites they advertise kids eat free Monday Tuesday Wesnesday and Thursday but tonight we got up and left because the wait staff all denied the advertising kidseatfreewednesday.com… Never going again and I have about 500 friends on FB that I'll warn
(1)C R.
I went there for the first time yesterday. Service was very slow but I understand that it was Easter and they were busy. Waiter was very attentive. I personally did not understand the hype behind the place. I did not enjoy the frita. It wasn't bad but I have had much better fritas. I like the way the do their chips. Next time I will try the chimi burrito. My wife loves the shrimp ceviche and the dessert with condensed milk and maple syrup was very good.
(3)Alexander B.
I love their burgers!!!! I would go more often if it wasn't so slightly overpriced. The best deal is to go during lunch when they offer their lunch specials. I came in today and the crowd was not bad despite it was a Tuesday. Vanessa was very helpful and knowledgable about the menu, and made some great suggestions for me.
(4)Frank C.
Saw this place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. You will not be disappointed. Food is outstanding. Servers are excellent. No suggestions for improvement. We will definitely be back.
(5)Sandy T.
It all started with their food truck. Now they have a go to restaurant whenever you crave their awesome one love burger. For appetizers we got the tiger shrimp ceviche. It was just a basic ceviche with shrimp, onions, tomatoes, lime, pepper etc... I could make it at home nothing like passion fruit corvina ceviche that le beau brought home once from a catering gig. It did have a good portion of shrimp tho. Worth $15 ehh not really. This time tho I did not get their burger. I got their chuchi bowl of rice with the steak. very good portion for the price about $9.99 plus $2 for the steak. Yellow rice was cooked perfect NOT mushy... I HATEE mushy rice and most yellow rice I've tried (arroz con pollo) super mushy. The steak was good too. I would have loved more of that sauce they put on the bowl though. Le beau ordered the Masitas which is like an open face taco. He got the steak as well. It is nothing special no new cool trendy flavor combo or anything but a good eat. He also ordered a sangria which was tasty but not the best. Overall for lunch we spent 70 including tip. Service was so-so and it wasn't super busy. I was going to leave cash tip but they couldn't break my $20 bill because they didn't have the cash to break it?!? I don't get it.
(3)David R.
This is my second time at this place and I'm never going back .. Clearly the management does not know how to run a restaurant .. You will wait for an hour to sit even though they have empty tables and u will wait another hour for the food .. So if u wanna wait a couple of years for a hamburger be my guest .. Otherwise take your money elsewhere .. Plenty of good burger joints in Miami
(1)Katherine P.
I came here because of Guy Fieri, which he also visited Blue Collar which I love. Feels like a gastro pub. Our server was great!! We ordered the tacos, 2 pulled pork and 2 shrimp and the original burger. What I love is the little details, because I'm a foodie, like the pickled carrots and the homemade potatoe chips. I loved the variety of beers and their sangria which is made from a local business. It was our first time, so of course we topped it off with the "balls to the wall" dessert. The only reason for the 4 stars is the price but it was enjoyable, will return!
(4)Ratchel D.
Spent $20 with tip and left hungry. My friend and I had the calamari platter and shrimp to share. The service was not bad, but not great. I saw some people with larger portions, but ours was small and not worth the price. We were not offered the lunch special (just saw that they have this on their site). The $13 calamari was a bit chewy. The more disappointing part was the shrimp, possibly 5 shrimps with garnish and was $13. NOTE: I also just saw on "tips" that kids eat free(Called to confirm and they said this is true) I took my child - three year old, and I was not offered this deal. My daughter had already eaten, so no big, but still, not worth a mention?
(1)Jashira M.
Came here for lunch to try somewhere new. All around it was a good experience. Our waiter was excellent. Regrettably I don't remember his name but I was impressed with his service. Very knowledgeable on the menu. Made recommendations when we were unsure about the meat option for the food ordered. Always had a new drink brought to the table when he saw it starting to get low. Checked up on us during our meal. Just fabulous. Haven't had service this good from a server in a while and we eat out A LOT! The menu was interesting. There is a variety of appetizers to chose from. We had their nachos with Vaca Frita as our meat. Fire! They were delicious. The cheese had a little zing to it too. The waiter said it was one of their best appetizers and I really liked it. I had the tacos. 4 come in one order so I had 2 carne asada and 2 chicken. Very delicious. My hubby ordered from the burger menu which was interesting. You can order 2 burgers and it comes out to the same price as the big burger they have. One of the burgers he ordered (was modeled after Elvis) and had the meat patty, pb and j and platano maduro. He says it was delicious! The one thing on the menu we didn't have was dessert. However the dessert I want to try is called balls to the wall. If you go and you like sweets try this. The description alone will make your mouth water! Another thing I liked was that it is spacious. The tables aren't one on top of the other like most places. We have a little one and a stroller sometimes does not fit well in some establishments. It feels uncomfortable or its in the way. That wasn't a problem here. This really added to our experience because comfort is a big deal. We will definitely be coming back!
(4)Karla S.
My boyfriend and I recently tried Latin House Grill and we loved it. I had the chimi burrito, which has chimi flavored rice, sweet plantains, and a choice of meat (I chose chicken). My boyfriend had the Cuban burger, which is topped with white cheese and guayaba marmalade. We wanted to try other items on the menu because they look so interesting, but we just became too full. We definitely will return!
(4)Bernardette S.
I cannot express how amazing the food was! For starters believe it or not I'm not a huge fan of burgers. You'll find me having one possibly once a month (when i'm craving it). It had been a week that I had been craving one and really wanted to make it count. Boy did I make the right choice! As you walk in the ambiance is casual and hipster. I loved that all the TV's had the food network on! Our waiter was so friendly and helpful with everything on the menus and as i started to read it i automatically realized I needed to come back! Everything sounded so good and I was determined to have a burger, but the burritos.... i need to come back. First, they have a wonderful selection of beer and local beer. I love restaurants that support what is happening in the community. One of my favorites is Funky Buddha Miami. We ordered for appetizer these fried cheese bites that are dipped in guava whoa! the flavors and texture explodes in your mouth. I realized afterwards that we had desert before the meal! it was perfect though. As for my burgers... i decided I couldn't pick one so you can order two sliders (which are quite big and definitely filling). The French (with honey glazed almonds!) and a traditional American (my craving). The thickness and juiciness was out of this world! It was perfectly cooked and all the flavors were spectacular. I highly recommend that you try this place believe me it's amazing! And I'll make sure to update my review on my next trip.

My husband, daughter and I went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm. We walked in and there were a few tables' worth of people sitting outside waiting for tables. We asked how long it would take to get a table for two adults and one child and the hostess told us it would take 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, we saw approximately 8 unoccupied tables. We decided to wait a while and get a beer from the bar during the wait. The bar is more of a food bar than one for alcohol in the way that it is set up, including that it seems that the bar serves beer and wine only. The beer includes local brews from Wynwood Brewery. After standing at the bar for a few minutes, we decided to order chicken nachos to eat while we waited. We watched as more tables opened and sat empty while people, including us, continued waiting for tables. We saw two seats open at the bar and sat down to eat our nachos. We were not impressed by the nachos, including that we thought it was pretty gross that the cheese seemed like some type of premade yellow cheese like Velveeta. After we watched tables sit open for about 30 minutes and still had not been told a table was available for us, we decided to order our meals at the bar. Incredibly, about 15 minutes later the hostess came up and said a table was ready for us. At that point we had been there about 45 minutes and had watched as many tables sat open and available for the duration of our wait. We were so glad we had decided to stay at the bar to eat. I ordered the lettuce wraps with shrimp, which were very tasty, although I wasn't really sure why they came with a few slices of carrot in the middle of the plate - they seemed kind of out of place. We ordered the taco kids meal for my daughter with beef and chicken. The tacos literally consisted of tortilla, cheese and meat - no vegetables whatsoever, which was disappointing since she would probably have eaten any veggie inside of her tacos. They came with rice. The service in the bar area was fine and we found that most of the service staff were friendly. Overall, though, we were not impressed. While some of the food was really good, most of it was nothing great. The really big disappointment in our experience was the issue with people waiting for tables while tons of tables sat open and available, coupled with the fact that the hostesses underestimated by 15 minutes how long they would make us wait for a table (despite the fact that many sat open that entire time). If the restaurant was short staffed then the hostesses should have told us that we could sit at a table but it may take a while to be attended to, but just making us wait for a table for 45 minutes with a two year old while plenty of tables sat empty was totally ridiculous.

Delicious! Had the special of the day as an appetizer, $3 Pork Slider with French Fries. The pulled bbq pork is very tender, juicy and flavorful. Quite the hit! I ordered: 4 soft tacos: 2 lime chicken and 2 carnitas. All delicious and very flavorful. They don't skimp out on the protein either. They go very heavy on the raw onions FYI. OK service! Our girl could have been better at explaining their $3 Pork Slider special that already comes with fries and how easily one can get stuffed with that alone! Well at least for me. We had ordered one for each person at the table. SMH! Portions are generous and great for family casual dining.

I've heard great things about this place. And it lived up to its expectation. The staff was friendly, the place was clean with nice decor and the food was full of flavor. Our server Michelle was fantastic. She made great recommendations and was just all around a great server, always checking up on us and suggesting this delicious mango hot sauce (caution very hot). The portions were huge. We got the Mixtos (sautéed chicken and carne asada with onions and mushroom covered with melted cheese) great app lots of food. So full of flavor. I literally moaned a yum with every bite. Split it with my fiancé and needless to say I was full already. He ordered the Chimi burrito which was delicious. I only had a bite because I was so full. But it's like a dinner in a burrito. Chimi flavored rice with sweet plantains and your choice of meat. Oh and cheese of course a generous amount of cheese. He's a big guy and only ate half. Next time we are in Miami we will have to stop by again. :)

Been to Latin House twice now..... First time.....came here for lunch They had a special for $3 sliders.. I ordered: -vaca frita and pulled pork sliders: The sliders were amazing! I was very surprised by how good they were..... very.... I was even more pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat in the sliders. Sliders are obviously smaller than actual burgers, but they were jam packed with meat. Very dense little guys. I will order these again next time I go and definitely recommend them. Awesome value! -ribeye tacos- These were decent. I would rate these 3 or 4 stars. -1/2 pound madlove The Original. The burger was awesome... can't describe it any better than that. - balls to the wall (dessert)- damnn these were frickin good... brownie balls covered in funnel cake batter with the little side of condensed milk... Highly recommend these! Second time at Latin House... - Timba: Fried cheese squares with a guava sauce. It's fried cheese, it can only taste awesome. The guava sauce is sweet and complements the salty fried cheese. This was a good dish, I'd order it again, no doubt. -Carne Con Queso: This one I wasn't as impressed with. I'd rate a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's melted cheese with a couple chunks of carne asada in the bottom. You dip with nachos. Wouldn't order them again. -** The Elvis Burger: Damn this burger was amazing... starts off with a super flavorful burger patty... it has a 3 cheese blend on top, and what I like is that they put plenty of cheese!! I love that they load up their burgers. On the bottom of the burger they layer grape jelly, peanut butter, and sweet plantains. Easily 5 out 5. -Champ & Mexican: Also had a bite of these burgers. The people who I came with ate them and they were also very satisfied with the quality of the burgers. **I have ONE COMPLAINT about Latin House. I ordered the balls to wall again, this time with ice cream. As I was eating the ice cream I thought to myself, this tastes like cheap ice cream, it kinda sucks... Something you'd get from a quicky mart. It added nothing to the dessert. When I see the check, I see that the ice cream has a $5 up charge! $5 for that crappy ass ice cream is ridiculous! Either change the ice cream, change the price, or better yet change BOTH! **The burgers at Latin House.... up to this point are the BEST I've tried in Miami... There are still many big players I haven't tried yet... and I also LOVE OTC burgers, but with Latin House you get larger portions (if you read my reviews you know I'm huge on portions) and I feel like you get your moneys worth. They don't cheapen out on portions and ingredients which is why I am giving them such high praise with their burgers.

Good service, nice bright atmosphere and not to mention the burgers are fantastic. The food is priced fairly also. Triple win for in my book for Latin house!
(5)Tangerine J.
First timer, ordered The Champ 1\4lb. burger. The burger is bursting with flavor ,and the candied jalapenos adds a nice kick. The burger came with a pile of potato chip like "tangle" that was soggy and greasy. Glad I stopped in but wouldn't be a regular.

This has to be one of the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in a while. This place is empty. The wait took over an hour and a half to be served a watery lobster bisque. I ordered pig wings with a sweet glaze sauce, came out super spicy. And my friend's burger was over cooked. It seems as if the kitchen was back up. I'm very disappointed. Maybe the food is kinda good. I wouldn't know. The service here definitely is the reason I am never coming here again.

I'm not a big foodie, but when something lands on my taste bud and makes an explosion of excitement I HAVE TO talk about it. Let's start from the beginning, walked in and it's super hippy, stylish, sleek, up beat all in one. Sitting around me is all walks of life. I have a family with a loud son, next to them are two handicap senior citizens, myself and family with a 3 month. Several couples near by. So the kind of people it attracts is many of different backgrounds. I take it these people know GREAT food since I've just experienced the BEST burger EVER. The waiter (Jonathan) was on POINT with everything. Attention to detail. Never had less then half a cup of soda. Once we were done with our Calamari that had this sauce that was made in heaven and dripped off of a cloud and landed at Latin House Grill..lol. Sauce was insane!!!! My order was The Champ and the French Slider. WOW!!! The Champ burger was so juicy and perfectly cooked. The sauce that was in it had a hint of spice. Guacamole I believe, I only say I Believe cause I ate it with my eyes closed; that's how awesome it was. I didn't think the French Burger could be better then that and I was absolutely Wrong. I really wanted to give it a bad critique but I couldn't. I just couldn't believe how awesome BOTH of these burgers were. The French was the opposite in taste. It had a more sweeter approach. Perfect mix and combo!! Sweet and Spicy!!! The sweet potato slices NOM NOM NOM!!! The end!! I can't believe this place has been rated anything less then 4 stars. Gotta go!! Dessert just got here....I'm not gonna write about it because if u aren't coming here based on what I just finished saying then u don't deserve to hear about this dessert. Peace!!

I asked my client where the best burgers were in the area and he did not hesitate to say that Latin House was it. So we went for lunch and I had a great experience. The menu has a lot of inventive burgers and several options for ordering. I think it is genius that they have a slider option where you can order two different types of burgers. I ordered the Elvis (peanut butter, plantains and I added bacon) and the Champ (bacon, avocado, jalapeno). I LOVED the Elvis (I did skip the cheese and added bacon and be forewarned you have to like peanut butter for this to be a hit. The Champ was fine but in hindsight I probably should have ordered the Cuban (queso blanco and guyaba marmalade) because I was super jealous of my client's choice. Another bonus was they have house made potato chips. SOOO GOOD! Service was great and I would definitely recommend to others and come back next time I'm in Miami.
(4)Randy R.
Man I can say I have eaten burgers in a lot of places around south florida but I just had one of the best burgers ever today at this place. I had the original with avocado slices and an egg. What a blast of flavors in my mouth! I recommend you try this place ASAP. One added plus was the owner going table to table introducing himself and making sure you are comfortable and happy with your food. Service was outstanding by the crew in the restaurant. Desert was also a delight we had the balls to the wall and i will finish this with a WOW.
(5)Chris M.
These burgers are off the charts. Amazing flavors, all very fresh, with very generous portion sizes. Ambience is hip and service was great. We tried the signature ceviche as a appetizer. It was a bit heavy on the tongue. It was very good, although not as successful as the burgers. Our table sampled 4 of their signature burgers: The Mexican, The Original, The Champ & The French. All were very unique with stellar flavors. The Mexican was the standout, the Original being a close second (imagine the perfect All-American burger flavor, this is it). All burgers come with their "Tangled Love Fries" (Home Made Potato Chips) which were equally as excellent. Latin House Grill is well worth a trip to South Miami. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Arthur S.
The food was great but service is very slow! Took well over an hour and the place was empty.. Made me late to work. Food took very long to come out.. Also the waiter didn't check on us to see how we were doing.. When we were ready to order we had to wait, when we wanted to order dessert we had to wait a long time and same thing when we wanted to pay.. All this waiting with only 4 other tables between 2 servers.. But at least the food was good and the dessert was free
(3)Donna D.
I love this place so much that even thinking of it makes my mouth water. I've never come here during the evening or night, I've heard of the wait times. Lunch time, during the week, it is perfect. The burgers are all so different and juicy and delicious. I've had the brie and almond, the chorizo stuffed, the Elvis, and oh my goodness. They all leave me in so much love for burgers. Portions are perfect, even the smallest size burger, is super filling. And the desserts!!! Either split your burger, or have the smaller sized one, but try and leave some room for the dessert! I love the atmosphere here, the look of the place, and the amazing food.
(5)Frank D.
Chimi Burrito was amazing. Big flour tortilla with chuchi rice and sweet plantains and chicken. HUGE! You'll probably take one half of it home. Drizzled with a garlic sauce and sour cream. Great decor indoors. Nice and cool as it was so hot outside.
(5)Greyceli M.
Been here so many times might as well tell you why I've been here so many times. There's a reason Latin House won last year's Burger Brawl. I always order the French burger. It brings melted Brie cheese, sliced almonds, and organic honey. One time I ordered the quarter pounder because I was watching my weight but it was the biggest mistake of my life and I've made up for it by now. At first I wasn't a fan of the chips for fries but eventually they grew on me and now I don't leave a single one behind.
(5)Michelle S.
This place had a great menu and the food was amazing but the wait was WAYYYYYY too long!! If the wait was not bad I would give 5 stars but the I was in there for longer than 1.5 hours and it wasn't even that full.
(3)Merly M.
I've been following Latin House Grill for what seems like forever on Instagram, and I had wanted to go, but at the same time didn't want to because their self-promo's seemed annoying in the same way that I think Guy Fieri is annoying. In-your-face-trying-too-hard-to-be-cool. (Coincidentally, I believe Guy Fieri has visited this restaurant and they have a stencil of his face on one of their walls alongside his signature.) Also, I live like 45 minutes away from this restaurant. Finally, I wanted to see what all the hype was about and I went in for lunch today. There's a reason for the hype; the place is good. Here's why: The decor is pretty cool and trendy; lots of sugar skulls, graffiti-style art, concrete walls, and exposed light fixtures. My only gripe was that the booths seemed kind of cheap. When we went to sit down, I think I took my booth back with me about half a foot. The service was fantastic. Every employee that came into contact with us was polite, attentive, and had a smile on their face. Our waiter, whose name I cannot remember, knew the menu, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal recommendations. He was always there to refill our drinks or give us more napkins when we needed them, and when we rattled off our long order at the very beginning (without giving him much time to even greet us) he got it all right and timed all of our dishes perfectly. The food was excellent. My mom ordered the Sneaky Nachos with chicken, with the intention of eating it as her entree, but they were so HUGE that we asked them to pack half before we even began. We also ordered the Chips and Pico, which was good. It wasn't anything out of this world, but the pico was fresh tasting. As another appetizer we got the Pig Wings in Asian sauce (as recommended) and that was phenomenal. The pork was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was really flavorful. The best part was that they place the "wings" over a bed of their Tangled Love Fries, so the fries soak up all the delicious sauce. (The fries are amaaaazing.) For my entree I ordered The Champ (1/2 lb). I got it between two lettuce leaves, but the burger was so juicy and drippy that it was impossible to actually eat it with my hands. No matter, using a fork and knife doesn't diminish from how good it was. The burger had everything I loved in it - bacon, cheese, avocado...etc. Delicious! Again, my only gripe was that I asked for it to be cooked rare and instead I got a burger that was more medium-well. (Most of these kinds of places won't cook, er not cook, the burger the way I like it for safety reasons.) Since I already had the Tangled Love Fries I opted for Sweet Petals on the side of my burger. They were good, but not as good as the regular fries. They were also over-fried in the middle, so that many of them were soft and chewy in places. Not really a big deal. I just ate all the crispy parts. Anyway, this got long. The place is good. Go there. Eat the food. Be happy. :)
(5)Lauren C.
I've been here a couple times and LOVE the burgers, love the service, love the appetizers, especially the steak nachos! My one complaint... they are all the way in Kendall and I am all the way in Broward. They have some pretty unique burgers so if you're looking to try more than one order the muffin tops so you can try two mini burger choices in one meal.
(5)Deborah M.
Tonight the Masitas with carne asada was excellent! Love this place. Try it, you won't be disappointed!
(5)JC M.
I tried this place out with my wife and kids on a Saturday afternoon (8/22/15) for lunch and we literally could not wait to get out of there. The first thing that struck us about the menu were the elevated prices. I wouldn't call it expensive, but definitely more than you would expect for this type of food. Maybe the prices are OK for South Beach or Brickell, but this is the middle of Kendall. We ordered four soft drinks and the tortilla chips with pico (chopped tomatoes & onions) while we decided on our food and accepted the server's offer of melted cheese (extra charge). When they arrived, it was not only obvious that the chips had come out of a bag (surely a cheap, generic brand from a big-box store), but that they were beyond stale. The "cheese sauce" was disgusting and made the crap they give you with movie theater nachos seem like a delicacy. We quickly decided not to take a chance with any of the main dishes, especially at these prices, and politely let our server know what we thought and asked for our check. You'd think she would only charge us for the soft drinks and leave the chips off the bill (especially since we left the basket untouched, except for the two chips we tasted) but were instead presented with an $18 check. I dropped a $20 on the table and left, greatful that the experience didn't run up to more than $100, which would've been the case if we had ordered four full meals. I would definitely not recommend this place.
(1)Armando P.
AWESOME CUISINE! Few come close! We love it and highly reccomend it to our family, friends and wonderful clients.
(5)Felipe Z.
So you like comfort food from all over Latin America? This is your place! Great ambiance to hang with buddies and like I said its comfort food so prepare to pig out. On my recent visits I've had the nachos to start and later the original burger. These two items definitely sent me feeling 20 lbs heavier but well worth it. lol Some folks have room for dessert, if so the Timba is absolutely delicious (a must!) Interesting menu lineup, great concept hope this place sticks around for a long time.
(4)Danelia N.
I gotta say, this place is the best if you have no eaten anything all day. The portions are gigantic! Wasnt too happy with the chimi burrito since it just was over stuffed with soo much ingredients that i couldnt really enjoy the flavor for what it worth..its almost like "too much" food to the point that it grosses you out a bit. Ill have to try something else next time since this place does offer a variety of foods. On a good note, the Calamari was great! Perfect portion for 2 people and the taste was delicious. Loved the 2 homemade sauces that came with it. Be prepared to wait since there is limited number of seating and the food also takes a while since everything is made from scratch.
(4)Alex R.
The good: Ordered the Muffin Top 1/4 burgers all burgers were delicious , the Frita was the $&@! And best we tried, the Mexican was , we also got the western and the champ which were good as well, everything we was great. Our server was great, not complaints anywhere. Can't wait to come back The bad: I got too full too quickly and couldn't keep eating
(5)Yvette K.
I give this restaurant three stars, mainly because of the service... My husband and I went on a Sunday night around 8 pm. The hostess told us that it would be a 15 minute wait for a table of 2. We noticed that a quarter of the tables were empty but we patiently waited. After about 25 minutes, we noticed that the hostess had disappeared and now the restaurant was half-emptied. I asked one of the servers at the bar if I could speak to the manager. The manager seated us within 2 minutes but the hostess was still nowhere to be found. The manager ended up being our waitress, which leaded us to believe that they were short-staffed... Something that seems common from reading other Yelp reviews. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer that took over 30 minutes for it to be served. However, it was delicious. From there it took another 30 minutes to get our burgers, which were absolutely delicious. We weren't even done with our burgers, when the manager/waitress asked us if we wanted dessert... "Now, you're hurrying us up!?!?!? Oh hell no" was what went through my mind. My husband told her to give us a moment. Eventually, we did order dessert, Balls to the Wall... Amazing. We took our sweet time eating it. As we were finishing up, we noticed that the staff starting cleaning. The manager clearly takes on a lot of roles in this restaurant because while she was sweeping and cleaning, one of the waiters and one of the busboys were standing behind the bar, on their phones. My husband wants to return but it will be without me... Although the food was delicious, I don't appreciate having such bad customer service.
(3)Jorge M.
Started with a foodtruck now we're here. In Kendall that is. They started spreading their Deliciousness in a foodtruck that lead to the first location. Located in a small strip mall with a nice size parking lot. The restaurants has plenty of seating inside. I have had the queso fondio and the lobster bisque both were tasty as a appetizer. So are the Hawaiian mini burgers. Small cheeseburgers on sweet mini rolls. Delicious. I also have had the tacos with shrimp and steak. The shrimp ones are addicting. The chimi is one of their popular dishes. It's a fried chimichonga with rice, maduros, and whatever protein you choose. They are tasty. Also the flatoon. It's a flour tortilla with your choice of protein and vegetables on top of it. They also have a large of burgers to sample. They must be good cause they have won awards from Burger Beast for Best Burger. They also have a decent selection of craft beers on draft and bottles to. The best time to come is during the week or before 6 cause it usually get packed after on Fridays and the weekend.
(4)Daniel F.
I went to Latin house for my brothers birthday during super bowl weekend. The Service was painfully slow and the place wasn't packed. I ordered a Frita from there and it was undercooked and loaded with that guava ketchup and full of spices, they get my drinks wrong and to top it all off, my grandmothers bank account info was apparently stolen from one of the servers at latin house. Avoid it.
(1)Mirielle C.
I've been to Latin house on two occasions. I really enjoyed my first visit, we had the steak nachos, which were amazing and I definitely recommend you try. I had the burger sampler. The Frita was the best burger, in my opinion. The burgers are huge, they're very good. On my second visit, I had the Chimi burrito. I was expecting to like it more than I did. It wasn't bad, but not one single bite had that WOW factor I was looking for, which surprised me because I love sweet and salty foods and this burrito has plantains in it. My mom also ordered the Chimi burrito and she found a screw in hers....,shocking I know. It was an isolated incident we were assured, they said the screw fell off the lid of their rice maker. It was a lil scary cause what if my mom had broken a tooth because of it? They comped her meal and brought us dessert to make up for it which was a nice gesture. My sister has ordered the tacos for take out before, which she loved. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else, just not the burrito because it just didn't have that wow factor I was looking for. **update** Order the tacos and the sweeddos! The best I've ordered from their menu. I ordered it on my last visit and felt compelled to update my review.
(4)Carlos M.
Ok her I go: So when I got there and thr place looked really neat, waiter was kind and professional. The place was clean When ordering the plates are a bit small on the entree, looks like it's more like appetizers. Order the chimi burrito with vaca frita, the meat was BEYOND salty!! The fries are ok The tables are very weird as it's pretty uncomfortable, they keep moving and are not gripped on the floor. Expect a very big delay when ordering your meal as they take forever!!! Will I be back? maybe as I can't judge the other plates and won't be my preference for future eating.
(3)Alex Z.
Finally was able to try this place out with my wife. After seeing it on the triple d's show and it was well worth it. The waiter Jorge was very good waiter and knew the menu really good and was very helpful and informative about the items he told us that they only use fresh items all the time that is why they run out of items at times. Which sucks but is really good too. The madlove shrimp was delicious. My wife has the masitas which look really good and were amazing and my self I had the chimi burrito which was incredible and huge, I was able to have the other half for dinner. Definitely glad we checked this place out and can't wait to return.
(5)Amanda T.
I have passed by this restaurant several times and never made it a point to dine her until I saw them on Diners drive ins and dives which got me craving it. When we arrived we were seated within 5 minutes even though the restaurant was not completely full I assume they had us wait because they didn't have many servers that being said I didn't mind the wait because the service ended up being great. The menu is large and had a lot of options. As an appetizer we ordered the chunks and butterflies which was good but the shrimp was def the star of the plate. I ordered a glass of the white sangria and it was refreshing a great drink to go along with my order of the tostadas which to my surprise was large and tasted amazing! My boyfriend ordered the taqueria calle tacos and said they were great, I honetly didn't even try his because I was so busy enjoying every last bite of my plate. Great restaurant Isee myself returning very soon just sad it took me so long to try this place out.
(4)Tess O.
My cousins raved about this place and made me watch a segment on tv about it so my bf and I decided to visit it for our date night. I'll have to call him up tomorrow and inform them on my disappointment. We arrived at 9:30 and waited about 35 minutes for a table that had been open since we had gotten there. The place closed in an hour and there was a line of people waiting at the bar to get a table so that can be understandable if they're under staffed. We were then seated on a sticky booth with no silverware or napkins. We didn't receive any our entire visit, but I could tell that our server, Jessika, was just very busy and that's understandable too. We ordered 3 1/4lb burgers: the champ, the Cuban, and the French with an egg on top. It took about 30-40 minutes for our food to arrive but it is made to order according the the menu. I was really disappointed because our burger orders actually came out wrong. The French burger had no egg and they also forgot to add the honey so it just tasted like a plain burger with Brie cheese. The champ was a let down as well. The Cuban was the only one we really enjoyed and my bf just thought it was okay. I didn't ask to have the burger corrected because it already took so long and I didn't want to bug our nice server. I had ordered a glass of sangria (red) and that was pretty tasty. I am a very light drinker and would usually get a buzz from half a glass of sangria anywhere, but this was practically sprite. Our server brought me a second sangria on the house because of the wait which was really nice but honestly I just wanted to go home. Jessika was very sweet from beginning to end and I think she's an excellent employee. I sincerely think the place was understaffed for a Friday night. The food was sub-par, maybe 1.5/5 stars. I must have come on a bad night. I'm even a little nauseous as I type. :(
(2)Judy M.
Great casual night out!! Comfort food at its finest... Vaca frita on everything! Latin spice to sure put a smile on your face...great service and lively ambiance...Chimiburrito is my go-to dish!... Or go for the vaca frita burger with a fried egg!...PS: leave room for dessert
(4)Elizabeth M.
I am obsessed with this place!!! We order the muffin top burgers (1/4 lb. patties) so we can enjoy different yummy variations. My all-time favorites are the Cuban (queso blanco and guava jelly) and the Elvis (3 cheeses, peanut butter & jelly and plantains). TRUST ME! The fries on the side are curly and thinly sliced. I haven't had a chance to try anything else on the menu because they are that good!!! Jorge is the BEST waiter there - fast and friendly! He made a huge difference in our meal last night and we go there all the time! Just a note, they make their own soda Latin House Cola which resembles a Ritz cola and isn't that good in my opinion. I always ask for a Mexican Coke which is a Coke in the glass bottle and always hits the spot! Overall BEST BURGERS in town!
(5)Sergio F.
To quote that famous Diana Ross track, Latin House Grill is the spiciest hangover. I thought I had a good grip on spicy food, but I hadn't tried their mango habanero wings! Finding myself in Kendall and starving on a Friday night, I decided to check out Latin House Grill. Besides, I figured that spicy food would help me beat the freezing 60s. The hostess was friendly, letting me browse the menu and pointing me toward the bar so I wouldn't have to wait the 20 minutes average. Besides, there were a couple of TV's where I saw the Miami Heat own the Knicks! Since I had skipped lunch, I went with a double order: the Chimi Burrito and a small order of wings. The burrito had a decent meat to rice ratio, and the queso and Pico de Gallo gave it a yummy kick. The sweet surprise was the chopped up sweet plantains ("maduros") inside, playing well with the spice. Next up were the wings: half BBQ and half mango habanero. While the BBQ ones had a strong smokey taste, the spicy mango kicked me. I got smoothed over by the slightly sweet mango then the habanero chili hit me. I felt the full effect (numb lips and fire in my belly) but left happy. The wings could have been a little meatier, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The bar crew was also timely in getting my soda refills.
(4)Loren C.
Not horrible, but definitely not great. Our food was boring, and the flavors just seemed really off. We'd heard a ton of good things about this place, but we had a really disappointing experience. We left feeling a little nauseous. Maybe there was something wrong with their kitchen staff that night. We won't be coming back.
(2)Connie C.
What a HORRENDOUS experience! Service was slow, food was charged with "extras" never told... Food was cold, hamburguer not cooked to what was asked! Espresso machine broken, so no coffee--- as told by the server! Very disappointed. Never coming back nor recommending it!!! Terrible!
(1)Amanda T.
Overpriced for the amount of food you get but definitely good quality ingredients. :)
(4)Lauren M.
This place is or was just "hype". I've been a few times and each experience isn't too pleasant. The service is horrible, both times, and the food is nothing special. It looks like a cool funky menu, but it's not great food. AND they give you these LAME chips as your side, like really?
(2)Lissette V.
I came in on a weekday with my best friend after the wait was to long at Flannigans. Boy was I happy she introduced me to Latin House Grill even though we had several bumps during our dining experience. We started off with red sangrias which were pretty good and a queso dip with chorizo which was yummy. The server brought out the wrong appetizer we originally wanted but the queso dip was none the less delicious. I ate the Chimi Burrito w/o rice b/c they had run out of rice but I still manage to drool when I think of it. I had asked for no sauce on the burrito but someone messed up & it came with the sauce. The server was great she noticed and w/o saying anything she offered us a free dessert after all the bumps we encountered. I can't wait to come back and eat the burrito and other items on the menu.
(4)C R.
I went there for the first time yesterday. Service was very slow but I understand that it was Easter and they were busy. Waiter was very attentive. I personally did not understand the hype behind the place. I did not enjoy the frita. It wasn't bad but I have had much better fritas. I like the way the do their chips. Next time I will try the chimi burrito. My wife loves the shrimp ceviche and the dessert with condensed milk and maple syrup was very good.
(3)Alexander B.
I love their burgers!!!! I would go more often if it wasn't so slightly overpriced. The best deal is to go during lunch when they offer their lunch specials. I came in today and the crowd was not bad despite it was a Tuesday. Vanessa was very helpful and knowledgable about the menu, and made some great suggestions for me.
(4)Katherine P.
I came here because of Guy Fieri, which he also visited Blue Collar which I love. Feels like a gastro pub. Our server was great!! We ordered the tacos, 2 pulled pork and 2 shrimp and the original burger. What I love is the little details, because I'm a foodie, like the pickled carrots and the homemade potatoe chips. I loved the variety of beers and their sangria which is made from a local business. It was our first time, so of course we topped it off with the "balls to the wall" dessert. The only reason for the 4 stars is the price but it was enjoyable, will return!
(4)Sandy T.
It all started with their food truck. Now they have a go to restaurant whenever you crave their awesome one love burger. For appetizers we got the tiger shrimp ceviche. It was just a basic ceviche with shrimp, onions, tomatoes, lime, pepper etc... I could make it at home nothing like passion fruit corvina ceviche that le beau brought home once from a catering gig. It did have a good portion of shrimp tho. Worth $15 ehh not really. This time tho I did not get their burger. I got their chuchi bowl of rice with the steak. very good portion for the price about $9.99 plus $2 for the steak. Yellow rice was cooked perfect NOT mushy... I HATEE mushy rice and most yellow rice I've tried (arroz con pollo) super mushy. The steak was good too. I would have loved more of that sauce they put on the bowl though. Le beau ordered the Masitas which is like an open face taco. He got the steak as well. It is nothing special no new cool trendy flavor combo or anything but a good eat. He also ordered a sangria which was tasty but not the best. Overall for lunch we spent 70 including tip. Service was so-so and it wasn't super busy. I was going to leave cash tip but they couldn't break my $20 bill because they didn't have the cash to break it?!? I don't get it.

This is my second time at this place and I'm never going back .. Clearly the management does not know how to run a restaurant .. You will wait for an hour to sit even though they have empty tables and u will wait another hour for the food .. So if u wanna wait a couple of years for a hamburger be my guest .. Otherwise take your money elsewhere .. Plenty of good burger joints in Miami

Saw this place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. You will not be disappointed. Food is outstanding. Servers are excellent. No suggestions for improvement. We will definitely be back.

This restaurant is confused. It doesn't know if it's Mexican, American, Caribbean, or what. I wish they'd pick one and do it well, instead of trying to do them all and failing miserably. Whatever you do don't get anything with cheese. There's a queso fundido that hardens 5 minutes after it arrives at the table, looking like something I'd use to plug a flat tire. The only way you can get at the cheese rubber is by putting your tortilla chip through a one inch layer of grease floating on the top like an ominous warning of what's about to happen to your intestines. My husband always gets the burgers, and having tried them I can confidently say that there are many other tastier burgers in South Florida. So I order some chicken tacos thinking that it's simple enough. Again, the cheese. It glued all the chicken together to make a mass of chicken that was inedible. The service is great, atmosphere lively with the street art and graffiti murals painted everywhere. Also not that loud, which I appreciate. I really don't see what the big deal is about this restaurant. There are better places to eat and while it's convenient I will avoid it in the future.

I LOVE the food here, BUT... The hostess at the door will tell you that its a 45 minute wait when its actually more lime 20mins. And then when you get inside yoi notice a ridiculous amount of empty booths! They tell you that they make you wait outside because the kitchen is backed up. Honestly...as a paying customer who thoroughly enjoys rhe food here, I would much rather wait the 20-45mins INDOORS! Its summertime in Florida. Mosquitos and heat do not do not make for a happy customers. I still LOVE the food tho!!

One of those nicest place here in Miami that serves great great food. The one that appealed to me the most was the Queso Fondue. The taste was one of the kind, I've never tried anything like this before. And I am very surprised that I like the taste of it after the first bite. They also got massively good tasting Elvis Burgers, one of the most tasty burger that I had in my life. This is a burger that you can only have here in Miami so I would never miss this one if I were you. Great fun place. Will dine again.

The food is ok. My boyfriend and I both had burgers, nothing special... we've had better ones and for a better price

This place has been open for about a year, and they already won The Burger Brawl !!!!! ***Beating top restaurants like Swine OTC Pincho Factory blah blah blah!!!! That is an incredible feat in itself ! ! ! Anyways, I came here for dinner with a friend yesterday and had one of their burgers (not sure of the name-- it was the one that won the Burger Brawl) it had crystallized jalapenos on it and was meaty-- completely delicious. It could have been more savory, but the combination of topping was delicious. Aside from this, it came with a side of French fries that were shaped like ribbons, and although they could have had more crunch, the silky texture of it was divine. Next time I come here (and yes, I am planning my next visit) I will order a burger. You can get two 1/4 pound patties for the price of 1/2 burger. I heard the Elvis is pretty good, although I am not sure about the peanut butter and jelly toppings. Can't wait till my next visit. Thank you servers for your hospitality!

Pack your patience. You'll need a ton of it. For once, I did not Yelp the reviews beforehand. My kid invited me, and I was not about to say no to free food! We arrived at about 2:30pm for lunch. After a short wait, we were seated at a picnic style table where the waiting area usually is. No back support is not good. We noticed an empty booth and asked if we could move. As we are moving, we notice that there were 3 other booths available. Note, our original table was removed and set up as a waiting area again. The hostess was friendly and our server seemed nice enough. Our drinks were brought out promptly and we placed our order. Then the wait started. We must have waited for a good 45 minutes for our appetizer, if not more. Our entrees arrived a little later. The food was good. Everything we had was tasty and well prepared. I really like their fries. The sangria is really nice too. My husband really enjoyed the guava ketchup. No complaints on the food whatsoever. But that is just part of the dining experience. We made the mistake of ordering dessert. We ordered the Balls to the Wall with ice cream. Actually, we ordered just one ball. Ladies & gentlemen, our one fried ball took 40 minutes to get to our table. And only because I had to get up and ask about it. The excuse given by the server was that the food runner was looking for the table at the entrance. Well, um. If the table is not there, shouldn't they ask the server who it belongs to? And shouldn't the server have checked back on us at some point in those 40 minutes? Plus the rest of our food got to our table. Seriously,I could have walked over to Sweetness and grabbed some dessert there. We placed our payment down and played the waiting game again. We finally walked out the door at 5:55 PM. Prices are a bit on the high side for the most part. Nothing too unreasonable, but still. $14 for a vaca frita chimi with a tiny bit of fries on top for decoration. I can get a full on vaca frita steak with rice, beans and fries for about $10. But again, not too unreasonable. Our total came out to $72 for 1 cheese dip appetizer, 2 chimis, one burger, one beer, one sangria, one soda and one ball with ice cream. We totally understand that it is not fast food. We know that it is prepared when ordered. But I have yet to sit and wait that long in a casual restaurant. I don't think I ever have, actually. Even at high end restaurants. And we eat out a lot. One other nit pick note to make. They calculate their suggested tips on the total amount including taxes. Although we usually do tip on the full amount, that is not customary. So if I ever get a hankering for the chimi, I will call ahead and pick up. That is, if they offer take out. But I do no foresee myself dining in any time soon.

Very nice place to come eat. Was a bit disappointed in the tacos. I saw them on TV actually and thought i'd try it while I was down here but not all that great, honestly. Other then that, the service was excellent.
(2)Ashley T.
Honestly, the service was okay. Nothing spectacular. BUT THE FOOD WAS SO YUMMY!!!!!! I had nachos and the burrito. Nachos were okay. But that burrito ...oh my god was so delicious. I was so full but my taste buds did not care at all! I ate the whole HUGE burrito. 5/5 for the burrito. I wish I tried the desserts which were very tempting to order.
(5)Andrea C.
great chips and burgers. Recommend the original burger. Service is good. Go early on the weekends.
(4)Carlos A.
Great place to be for lunch , the burritos are great and their burgers are of the chain
(4)Kenny W.
This place is pretty good, it's different than other places. Their signature dishes are the chimi burrito and mad love burger, their tacos are pretty damn good as well. It's a bit pricey for the kind of food they make, but I would still highly recommend them. The owners are wonderful people and have worked their tails off for years (since their truck days) to get this spot open and running.
(5)Melissa M.
Love having this place nearby. The food is always excellent. I love the candied jalapeño on everything. I wish they had more choices for sides with the burgers. Can't wait for lobster rolls to be back on the menu. Beer selection is great as well.
(5)Jessie D.
I had the worse experience of my restaurant life at this place. I was with my 4 year old daughter, 7 year old niece and 4 friends. Ordered our food, mine was terrible. It tasted disgusting and the putrid smell coming out of those pig wings was unbearable. I kindly told the waitress and whispered what my plate smelled like. A few minutes later, the owner came and was so so so rude, classless and just disgusting with me and the whole table. We were completely appalled. She actually even told me that she doesn't appreciate me insulting her chef. WOW! Didn't know that not liking a plate on the menu and saying that it smelled putrid was an insult. So much to write but in a nutshell : WILL NEVER EVER step foot in here again and as a business owner myself will make sure all my clients know about this experience. Still can't believe that lady is the owner.
(1)Alejandro M.
We went there yesterday, waited and hour to sit, 45 minutes for the food, plenty of empty tables, 3 overcooked hamburgers, 1 maduro in my chimiburrito, and 5 pissed off customers. Won't go back, and im guessing the people in the table next to us who got up and walked out won't either.
(1)Henry A.
NPS = 7 Great nachos and pretty ok bar too. It's great that they offered Brooklyn Brewery's Local 2 bottles. Corked in a large bottle (750 ml bottle approx), it is definitely the beer of choice here. For starters, definitely get the vaca frita nachos. It's nachos with shredded marinated beef on top and totally worth it. The burritos are also a large size and they even have lettuce wraps in case you are trying to watch your figure. We came here for a friend's birthday and the crew was very helpful...they even saved the cake we brought to be served later in the night. I believe Latin House started as a food truck and now has become a brick and mortar. You definitely get a taste and feel for the food truck origins. To make this place better I would probably teach the bar crew a little bit more about the craft beers they serve. This is only so they are better equipped to describe the different beers they offer. But other than that, this place is alright in my book.
(3)Catherine G.
Everything is fucking delicious! The fried chimi burrito! Balls to the wall dessert, timba, tacos
(5)Diana R.
Good food and great service ! Had the cuban burger, nachos and the shrimp ceviche.. Everything was delicious!
(4)Steve S.
First time here it went great but now I'm here again. One hour and a half later no food. Food is great but today was a disaster.
(1)Dennis M.
Amazing food and service all around. Burgers are extremely juicy and tasty. Tried the original, champ, Cuban and French burgers. All over-the-top with flavor. Champ was my fav by far. Had a little kick that was just right. Oh, and the balls to the wall dessert left me in a food coma. Que Rico! Have to come and try for yourselves!
(5)Miley M.
First time visitor here. My SO and I came here during our lunch hour. We waited about two minutes upon entering for someone to acknowledge us and seat us. Five minutes into us being seated another table was also seated, given menus, and had gotten their drink orders taken to their table. Meanwhile, there we are waiting for our waitress or for someone to greet us. Nothing. The place wasn't busy enough to use that as an excuse. The whole other side of the restaurant was empty, about 6 open tables on the left side, and an empty bar. Safe to say, I didn't feel bad about leaving. As we were getting up to leave some other waitress came up to us and said "Your waitress will be here soon". I think I'll save myself the trip next time and go somewhere else that will provide actual service.
(1)Nelson G.
The tacos I ordered where fresh and tasty, and dessert was awesome. I can't wait to go back. Very nice atmosphere and also great service.
(3)Jessica P.
I have been here twice before, it's a cute place, not too much seating but they try to seat you as soon as possible if there is a wait. Had their fried calamari as an appetizer which was very good; really enjoyed the sauces it came with on the side. I've also had the Pig Wings as an appetizer, and they were really really good too. I shared a Chimi Burrito (which was definitely a good idea), it is very big & extremely good. Half was enough for me. It comes with these fries/chips on the side which were also super tasty!
(5)Jessica M.
Don't be tempted by the other delicious things on the menu, go with one of the burgers, you'll be glad you did. The meat was so flavorful and cooked to perfection and it just got better with every bite. I also tried the chimi burrito, hearing good things about it, but it left me disappointed and preferring a burrito from chipotle any day. Maybe sweet burritos just aren't my thing. Anyhow, very cool place with a bar, multiple flat screens and plenty of seating.
(4)Rick C.
On at least two websites they advertise kids eat free Monday Tuesday Wesnesday and Thursday but tonight we got up and left because the wait staff all denied the advertising kidseatfreewednesday.com… Never going again and I have about 500 friends on FB that I'll warn
(1)David S.
Service: The service was horrendous. We went on a weeknight. They had tons of empty tables, but i guess not enough staff, so we waited like 30 or 40 minutes. Waiter was very busy, messed up our order. We ordered the Queso Fondue appetizer but he forgot to put it in so it never came. We ordered two different burgers, and both burgers were missing ingredients. For example, one was supposed to have avocado and came with no avocado on the burger. Another was supposed to have crema mexicana but did not have that either. Each burger was missing 2 or 3 of its listed ingredients. The waiter gave us a free drink and 10% off for messing up the order so bad, but the experience still was terrible. Food: If you put aside the fact that we received orders that were missing ingredients, and that the service sucked, the food was actually really good. Burgers were great. The 1/4 pound burgers are smaller than i thought they would be, but tasted amazing. Overall: The terrible service/understaffing at this place is it's achilles heel. This place would get 5 stars if the wait/service/staffing weren't so poor. This restaurant is another classic case of maximizing profit at the expense of customer service. With plenty of empty tables, no one should be waiting. Hire more staff. Also if the waiter had a reasonable workload, he wouldn't be messing up orders. Once again, hire more staff. It's a shame that such awesome food is being held hostage to such bad service. Would love to eat here again, but don't want to wait 40 minutes to get the wrong order/incomplete items again. HIRE MORE STAFF.
(2)Barbara R.
Unlike everyone else I didn't hear about them from food trucks. I first about that place on ch 7. I told my older brother about it do he came to eat, he loved the place so he got me a $50 certificate. I decided it to use it on my anniversary and I won't regret it. We had the sneaky nachos w/vaca frite, pigs wings & for dinner the chuchi yellow rice w/vaca frita & the taqueria calle w/vaca frita & carne asada. It was all delicious. The service was great and so was the food. I'm glad I heard about this place.
(5)Bendra T.
Great food! Delicious sangria (Mix red+white) and for the most part decent service. The muffin tops (sliders) are amazing!! French, Cuban, Bulgarian, American, Champion, Western... You cant go wrong with any! The nachos are an explosion of flavor! My personal favorite is carne asada or ribeye. The chimi burrito makes any other burritos wanna cry #fact. If you want more of an entrée the carne asada is the way to go. Its simple, go try it for yourself

I have been going to the ~ Latin House Grill ~ when it was just a traveling food truck back in August 11, 2011 ~ trying to establish a name for itself at the height of the "Food Truck Wars" in South Florida. Well since then we have watched them change from a tiny caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly ~ living the American Dream of success and evolving into one of the best burger joints in our three counties. On our last experience we went for lunch and tired a delightful new array of items (see photo's) We started off with a new appetizer ~ ~ Queso Fondue ~ "A blend of 3 cheeses and Mexican chorizo, melted and served w/ fresh tortilla chips." ~ We where expecting a creamy cheesy, mouth watering fondue mixture that was light and fluffy and to be able to dip our freshly made tortilla chips (...that were great) into this creation with ease ~ NOT - It was just a nicely melted array of hot cheeses layered over the top of their house interruptions of a "latin" chorizo that was rather greasy. ~ Don't get me wrong, it was good, but we had to struggle to get the cheese onto our chips (without braking them) by either using a knife and fork to enjoy this treat. Maybe our expectations of what a "fondue" is has been recreated to meet their consumer interruption. (rating ~ three stars) Now, if you have not been here before, you can order two sizes of burgers. Their rather lager (1/2 lb. burgers called "Madlove") or ... ...for us the smart thing to do to enjoy their large variety of burgers is to place your order as ~ two, 1/4 lb. burgers called "Muffin Tops" ~ which are all made fresh with brisket, chuck, and sirloin combination that is ground daily and served on a freshly baked Brioche bun. This gives you the ability to cut them in half, letting you share with your partner the variety of mixing and matching of burgers that you haven't tried. ~ (Oh yes, there is a strategy behind my madness for experiencing all their treats) ~ ...and i suggest having your burgers prepared via the "chiefs recommendation" which is today was "medium". (juicy, tender and well very seasoned). ~~ Let's get down to what we indulged ourselves with ~~ ~Entrees: ~ Our "Muffin Tops" selection for today's was (see photo's): ~The "Original" ~ "THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL", the Award Winning, three cheeses, two strips of thick cut apple-wood smoked, maple glazed bacon, butter grilled onions & mushrooms, Avocado-Lime, creme. ~ (rating ~ five stars) ~The "French" ~ Brie Cheese, Sliced Almonds, and Honey. (rating ~ five stars) ~All orders are served with a side of their "Tangled Love" fries which are excellent. Light, crunchy and salty ~ I suggest getting a small side of honey to dip them into because to me It just enhances there flavor to that height that your tasted buds are exploding with pleasure. (...oh my!) ~Desert: ~ Sweeddos" ~ OMG, what a burst of flavors ~ they are freshly made Madagascar vanilla dough fried to perfection and "injected" with "leche condensada" and drizzled with warm maple syrup and lightly powered sugar. ~ Something that can really appreciate coming from Miami-Dade County's Latin/Cuban cuisine. (rating ~ five stars) Well their "fame and fortune" has been well recognized throughout South Florida and now nationally (Apr 25, 2014) by The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives starring Guy Fier. ~ (see photo's) The service is always excellent and the establishment is colorful and very well decorated with large bright graphics (...like the Wynwood Walls of Miami) ~ One thing that we love is the hundreds of large bare light bulbs dangling from their high ceiling on a black industrial cords in an architecture appealing array of symmetrical design. They do have multiple very large screen HD TV's placed throughout their establishment making our dining a little more exciting by watching the 2014 World Cup a pleasure. Remember, that they do have a variety of ice cold draft beers to help you quench your thirst. ~The bottom line: I have never be disappointed when I have gone there and would given it four-and-a-half stars but we have no such rating. ~ So then, it's a solid four stars for it is always nice to try to motivate establishments by discreetly pointing out very small weakness, in your opinion, something in their menu or service so they can strive to improve your next culinary experience. Cheers!

A twist on Hispanic food, delicious! Very large portions, fresh, flavorful! We went for lunch, had the nachos, split with vaca frita and cilantro Lime chicken. We loved it! Shared the chimiburrito, also delicious! Hats down to the chef and team! We'll be back!
(5)Ilene L.
I liked the food until my friend got food poisoning off the almond burger. Just ruined the thought of ever going back there. I had the deep fried burrito and it was delicious.
(2)Alicia S.
The food was fine. The reason behind the 2 stars was the wait time. Our party waited 30 minutes when clearly seating was not a problem even though it was Mother's Day. The restaurant was half empty with over 15 booths available however we were not seated. Service took even longer. Even after bringing it to the attention of an employee we still had to wait... And wait... And wait. The restaurant was not understaffed either. There was no logical explanation for the lack of timely service in being seated and served. We were a party of 5 adults and 4 small children who were not having the waiting after hour two of sitting down and waiting at the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and extremely apologetic. Probably the only employee on the clock that actually cared to work. We arrived at 6:30 pm - seated at 7pm and left the restaurant at 9:25. NEVER AGAIN.

We went here back in December after visiting family . I saw this restaurant on Diners drive in and dives with Guy Fieri. I asked the waitress what he ate when he video taped the show here. She told us 2 entrees. One is no longer on menu. My wife tried the one that is on menu and I tried something else. The restaurant only had 4 other patrons in it. So I was afraid of that when I saw that there wasn't many people eating there. That should have been the first clue to get up and leave. We decided to give it a try anyway. Big mistake. Food was horrible. Don't waste your money eating here. Very disappointed
(1)Elly M.
This place is absolutely amazing. The ambiance is great. The staff is friendly. The Chef comes out to check on his guests and make sure they're happy. I suggest the Mixto and the balls to the wall.

Back in 2010 I had given LHG a 5 star review. That was for the food truck, not the restaurant. This restaurant is around the corner from my house, so I have been to it numerous times. Not only because of its convenient location, but because for the most part (what I order) is usually always good. I can't say the same for the service. 9 out of 10 times the service sucks ass. What should be a 1-1.5 hour dinner turns into a 2.5-3 hour dinner because the server disappears, or things come out wrong.. forget about drink refills. The tacos, spicy carrots and mango habanero sauce are addictive though, so even still I would return, and of course the balls to the wall desert. But come on, how could you possibly mess up a deep fried brownie topped with ice cream? ..you cant. As of lately they started changing the topping from my beloved carnitas tacos from what they used to put on them (coleslaw, tomatoes, sour cream & guacamole) to just onions and cilantro. - So that sucks. Also, the place is looking dirtier and less clean every time I return. I had a bite of 1/2 a Mad love burger that my cousin didnt want to eat and the meat was so soggy and mushy, I didnt take another bite -- and that should say something because I LOVE burgers (and have no problem taking one to the face). The "pig wings" i tried were not good at all either. In conclusion my last visit which was this tuesday left a bad taste in my mouth (literally), and like usual the service sucked too. I don't think I will be back for a while.
(2)Cristina a.
Just love this place!!! I usually have the burgers but this time I had the chimo burrito. It's delicious & huge (good enough to share!) We had a great experience. Alex took care of our table and he was fantastic, very attentive and gave great suggestions.
(5)Hope H.
We came here last night, the day after Halloween. We were told there was a 20-25 minute wait which we though was reasonable so we decided to wait. After 30 minutes I went to the hostess to ask how much longer it would be and she told us another 15 minutes. 25 minutes after that we were finally seated. So we waited about 50-55 minutes just to be seated. Then we ordered our food.....the food took about another 45 minutes before it came out. Besides the awful service they were out of so many items that we wanted to order (including beer and food). The food was good, but was not worth the nearly two hour wait. Had I not been with friends I hadn't seen in a while, I easily would have left. The service is poor and I would suggest not going on a busy night, as you will probably easily wait an hour (and more for food).
(1)Henry G.
I went there with my Dad and my 7 year old twins. It took a while for the waitress to get to us, they were obviously understaffed. Later she confessed to us that someone had called in sick and they had "thrown a bunch of tables at her". I ordered the Queso Fondue and was told that they oven they use for that appetizer was broken. I decided to pass on the appetizer. I ordered my kids burgers from the kids menu. My son likes his with cheese, ketchup and mustard. The waitress told me they didn't have mustard. I asked if they ran out and she said that it's because their chef is "very particular" about what goes on their burgers. My answer was that I am too. I would have just left if it wasn't for the fact I was with my father. I understand if Mr. Chef doesn't like the idea of people putting certain condiments on his works of "art" but we're talking about a kids burger and it's a hamburger joint. I ordered the Bulgarian burger, whose name is terrible, but was actually very, very delicious. The red sangria was also very tasty. For dessert I ordered the "Timba" which is described as queso blanco injected with Guava. When it came it was chunks of queso blanco which had been fried to the point they were dry and the guava marmalade came in a little ramekin on the side. The sweetness of the guava couldn't overpower the saltiness of the cheese. Not a good dessert at all. So in sum, 1 star for the dictator chef who doesn't stock mustard. 1 star for having a broken oven. Waitress was nice and apologetic as was the busboy, so they bring up the score a bit. Burger was 4 stars. Dessert was terrible. If you like a big burger with some different ingredients give them a try. Don't expect fast service or go there if you are with picky eaters.
(2)George I.
Known for their burgers. Nice place the only complaint was that it was a bit hot. Other than that the menu looked pretty unique. Service was decent. My biggest complaint is that I had the burrito that when arrived looked amazing! It tasted totally delicious but the tortilla it was in was so ridiculously weak that upon picking it up fell apart & after the first bite things got worse. However very delicious do recommend & will go back to try their burgers
(4)Daryl R.
Don't believe the bad-mouthing. I've been to this place over 50 times since they converted the truck to a full-blown restaurant a few years ago. (Not the easiest of tasks.) And in those fifty visits I have experienced what the Yelp regulars refer to as "bad service" maybe once or twice, an average amount for any service establishment. That leaves only one explanation for why this place gets a bad rep for the quality of its service: perpetuation of "hate". The early reviews that came in during the first few weeks, when they were a work-in-progress, may have been authentic. But what you see now are customers, regular "yelpers", who come in and expect bad service. When you are expecting something due to third-party predisposition, you will see it at every step of the way. Could the server have taken your order a bit faster? Could the busboy have refilled your water with better timing? Perhaps. But this happens at every restaurant, and it is only because of their perception and willingness to join in on the tune of negative reviews that they echo the trash talk. It is easier to say something nasty than to say something nice. When you dine at Latin House Burger & Taco Bar, walk in with an open mind. Expect to be impressed by the food, which is not ready-made. Give the staff a chance, because it's worth the wait. As for the food... The burgers: With over ten different types of burgers, ranging from the Original Mad Love with its three different cuts of beef and three cheeses, to the Juicy Bella, a chorizo stuffed affair, and even to the Elvis, a PB&J + banana burger, there's something for everyone, including a premium version of the regular, ordinary cheeseburger. The chimi: The last time I went to LHG (this is what the truck era people call it), I was accompanying a first-timer. As he read through the menu, he stumbled upon the chimi burrito. He repeated the quote printed on the menu to me, "this is a life-changer." Without hesitation he ordered the burrito and when it arrived, what confronted him was a large, fried burrito filled with their famous yellow chuchi rice, three cheeses, plantains, and meat topped with pico, mexican crema and avocado-lime sauce. I then looked down at my plate to sort out my meal, and a few minutes later when I looked back up to check what his reaction was... it was gone. Addictive personalities should stay far, far away from LHG. The balls to the wall: Remember when you were a kid and would hear the ice-cream truck pass within a 1-mile radius of your house? And you could still hear it because as a child your ears were tuned to pick up their very special frequency, and you would flip out? The balls to the wall dessert summons that feeling every time the server walks out of the kitchen with them in hand. Then you realize it's too much, and too good. But you regret nothing. Tacos, nachos, and everything else: Around a dozen protein options (including veggie soy) are available for a number of dishes made with their own hybrid style of Latin flavoring. To this day I've had almost every single option on the menu, and am yet to be disappointed. The reality is I haven't tried many of the soups and salads on the menu, because I can never resist ordering one of the aforementioned items first. 5/5 stars. All the way. Don't listen to the angry mob.

This restaurant has ok food but they have a major logistical problem. We waited over an hour for a table. That didn't really upset is though, because we were a large group. Once we sat down it took a long time for our server to come around. We ordered right away. We waited another hour and 15 minutes to get our food. At one point we looked around and only 1 table in the whole place had food on it. Something is not going right in that kitchen. For some reason our server just wasn't coming around much either to see about drinks and appetizers. I had the chimi burrito and once it came it was actually really really good. I enjoyed the different flavors of the rice, maduros, and the ribeye meat. Everyone else at my table had burgers. They all said they were just average. The balls to the walls dessert was excellent though. Yummy. I just wish they put more thought into getting people sat and getting the food out to them. I would like to try this place again to see if they can get this fixed because my entree was actually great.
(2)Lina F.
I have been hearing great things about LatinHouseGrill and had been looking forward to trying it. We had tried to come here once before as a family but the wait was too long which reinforced in our mind how great it must be. We were seated as soon as we arrived around 7:15pm. The restaurant was full but still several tables available. The football game was on so were immediately accommodated when my husband asked to be switched to a booth where he had the perfect view of one of the many big screen tvs. The hostess asked us to be patient with our server since she had just been slammed with three tables all at once. But she quickly came and took our order. Our appetizer, two cups of lobster bisque arrived quickly and were perfect. Not to thick, just the right amount of cream and sherry. After awhile my husband started complaining about how long the food was taking. Our dinner arrived 40 minutes after we ordered it. Not at all what we expected after we had so quickly received our appetizers. Although the dinner did not lack in taste, as a matter of fact it was quite tasty, it was not as described in the menu. I ordered the taco lettuce wraps which claim to have hard, crisp lettuce. What I got were four wilted lettuce leaves with my taco fixings on top. I had to cut through the wilted lettuce unlike any other lettuce wrap I've ever had which you are able to hold in your hand like a taco. My husband's quarter pound burger was a slider. When the server saw my husbands shocked face she stated "I told you the quarter pound burger was small and the half pound burger was huge." She never stated any such thing....not to us anyhow. We were so disillusioned we didn't stay to try any of the delicious sounding desserts.

I've been driving by this place for probably over a year and the name had always caught my attention, who doesn't love burgers, tacos, and a bar, LOL. My wife met me and the kids when she got off of work on a Thursday evening. Out of pure coincidence we found out after we sat down, Kids eat free all Summer!!!! That's great for me b/c we have 3 kids!!! The two little one had a chicken rice bowl and a steak rice bowl, which came with their homemade onion fries. Zak and Vivi loved their food and ate it all! Gaby had the kids tacos, one steak and one chicken. After we got the kids orders in, we ordered as an appetized their pico de gallo. It was delicious and very very fresh! Highly recommended. Oh I think I forget to mention they had $2 Dos Equis and Heineken's........ The Mrs. ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (4 tacos) 2 carne asada, 1 chicken, 1 vaca frita. She loved them, I took a bite of the Carne Asada and the the vaca frita and they were great! I ordered the "Mad Love" burger, a 1/2 lb burger with all the fixins!!!! The waitress asked if I wanted a fried egg on it and I asked her if it's worth it and her response was, "Go big or Go home". So I had to man up and get it with the egg. This was the first time I've had a fried egg on a burger and i'm a changed man. The burger had maple glazed bacon and cheese, the egg brought it to the next level. I have been dreaming about this burger!!!!!

Shame about this place. Great product but the service is a bit suspect. I've tried the food from back when they were, not even a food truck, but a small trailer in tow. Excellent burgers and fries. Like I said: great product. I'd never gone to the brick-and-mortar but decided to go on a Friday. They told my party (of 3) the wait was gonna be 30-45 minutes. Okay I get it... It's a Friday. Though there were seats outside, and the hostess said inside and outside: still 30-45. Fine. We go inside in the place to get a drink at the bar, and there's even tables open. With a full staff working. However I saw a bunch of servers kind of twiddling their thumbs. Also, our bartender, who must've never poured a beer in his life had no idea what beers were available. Kinda wonky. It had been 25 minutes at the bar, and nothing yet. There were 3 tables open. Very confusing. Me and my party just decided to leave, but before we left I wanted to ask what was up. I asked the hostess, hey, how much longer because I clearly see tables open? She said they just got a party of 14 show up. Bush league, in my opinion. I've seen restaurants deal with more and still function normally. The place doesn't stop for that, especially when you have servers chillin' by the bar. Unacceptable, and kind of a lame excuse. Hope the service/management gets better than that.

We both had the four tacos meal. I had mine with shrimp and my boyfriend had two with steak and two with carnitas. These were seriously the best tacos I've ever had and there were so many items on the menu I wanted to try!! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing from the chips to sliders to tacos. Don't miss this place. We'd be regulars if we lived here!
(5)Jaime G.
Great place in south Miami. Loved. Gray service and great food and great craft. Try the masitas with grilled mahi mahi or original burger. Super good. Pair with a nice drink special which they have everyday or a nice craft beer (like a funky budda Floridian). Great place to try. All good here.
(5)Nicole B.
Showed up excited to pig out on my 1st cheat day for my new diet. A 20 minute wait on a Friday night seemed reasonable. What I DIDN'T understand, however, was why we weren't seated even though there were well over 8 empty tables in my immediate eye sight. The hostess awkwardly asked us to get out of the way (mind you, we had a 1 year old with us and all the accoutrements that a 1 year old requires for a "peaceful" dinner to occur), asking us to wait outside (under cover, although there was a monsoon in full swing) or at the bar (with a 1 year old, on a stool). Management didn't want the entrance "blocked" she said. She then proceeded to explain that her manager had asked her not to seat any additional parties because she had previously sat too many people back to back and it was slowing down the kitchen. TRANSLATION: "I have no idea what I'm doing, and neither does the rest of the staff. These tables and chairs are just decorations. Don't mind them. Oh yeah, and my manager, my manager, my manager, blah blah blah ..." You get the picture. Was finally seated, ordered (2 sliders + the grilled chimiburrito, which has changed my life in the past, might I'd add...) The food came out quickly and was warm (hence, 1 of the 2 stars). The Burgers and homemade chips were fantastic (the 2nd star), but the chimi was an unedible disaster of salt, salt, and more salt with dried, day-old meat mixed with cheese and little to no rice. I was beyond confused and convinced that my taste buds were betraying me. I couldn't muster a third bite and was saved by my husband's willingness to be a good catholic and share his plate with me. After speaking to the manager (cause duh, Homegirl came around to ask how everything was), and explaining the disaster that had ensued on my plate, she offered dessert (no thanks, I filled up on my husbands slider and chips). She then offered to discount the burrito after assuring me that she'd go back to taste "the batch" (code for god knows what). Let's just say that I was pretty amazed to see that $2.40 had been discounted from my check and I was still being charged for the salt - I mean, burrito. OOOOHH RREEEAAAALLLYY ?!? No. After some back and forth, she finally removed the full charge, but it took way more work than it should have. I left feeling sad, cheated, and very, very thirsty. So disappointing because this place is literally 5 minutes away from my home and there's really nothing like it in the area.

Came here for taco Tuesday. The carnitas taco was ok.. Our server Jessika suggested the rib eye and they were delicious. Great service! She was awesome! I will definitely be returning.

My husband came here for lunch with friends and had sliders. He hated them and never wanted to come back (although picky as he is, he'll eat just about anything). We go for his friend's graduation dinner (he was really excited about that :sarcasm:). It was a set menu. Mexican food is what they're known for so I told my husband he should try something "Latin." We had a choice between "calle ocho tacos" "tostadas" and two burgers. The waiter recommended the tacos since I was between that and the tostadas. I got them with fish tempura (surprisingly good since I'm not a tempura fan) and carne asana (not that great..the meat was a bit rubbery). My husband got the Frita (which he loved). I tried a piece. That guava ketchup was delicious. It tasted like guava BBQ. I also ordered a red sangria (very refreshing and juicy...tastes more like juice cocktail but I liked it). Saw them making a mix of red and white and a waiter told me I can try it. That was very nice but the mix tasted like medicine. They said the red is sweeter than the white. Once I tasted the mix I was like "red is fine, thanks." The pico de gallo is also delicious but I'm a huge fan of it and you really can't mess that up. In the end, my husband was still not a fan of this place. Now...why I'm rating it 1 star (and that's because I can't rate 0). We went last night with friends for dinner. My husband had a rough day since he wasn't feeling well earlier. I wasn't starving (and I'm so glad I wasn't). Unfortunately, for our friends and my husband (who pretty much hadn't eaten much all day)...they were starving. It was 7:30pm when we put our names on the wait list. Wait time: 35mins (that must've been a rude joke). There were tons of people outside. They said feel free to order appetizers and drinks (umm, that's okay 30mins isn't that bad). An HOUR AND 20mins later we're seated. The place has a bunch of booths available. Hmm...so they must be short staffed, whatever. The waiter comes by, we order our drinks. Sangria is still good and juicy (refreshing is what I needed after sitting outside so long). So everyone's getting the "chimi burrito" it was all that was talked about since our friends loved it. I'm not a fan of rice in my burritos and plantains, for me, are a must on the side...I don't mix them with my food...ever. So, after much contemplation, I give in and say I'll try the chimi burrito and I tell the waiter to please give me the plantains on the side (my friend did the same since she hates them but her bf loves them). I asked if the "chimi" rice was a must bc I'm not a fan. Waiter said its better bc it won't give the full effect. Fine. Mind you, it's now 9pm. Didn't take us long to order. After ordering, some people were seated in the empty booths next to us. They ordered and got their dinner before us....really??? Again, whatever. Waiter finally appears with our burritos. He starts by saying (paraphrased of course)... Waiter: "I have some bad news" (really??), "the chef did not put the plantains on the side. He's trying to perfect the menu so he does not want to change anything. He's no longer accepting changes to orders. If it was me, I wouldn't care, but he's trying hard to get the menu perfect." Me: "so basically, if you have a plantain allergy, you're screwed because the chef doesn't want to make changes." Waiter: "well since he knows no one is really allergic to plantains, that's why he's doing it. He's perfecting the menu." WOW! You have to be kidding me?! Where are the candid cameras right now?! I was so mad...not because there were plantains in my burrito but the principle behind this entire conversation. I'm not sure if this was an inputting error by the waiter or what he said was true. If it is true, then it should have been stated from the beginning and/or the menu should specify it so we could have changed our order. Regardless, that was the worst costumer service I've ever received at a restaurant! So I try the burrito (this masterpiece that cannot be changed....which being a foodie, I can understand...but this is not a 5 star restaurant with a well-renowned chef AND this was NOT a chef's plate/choice/special on the menu! Anyway...I taste it. It was like arroz con pollo (Cuban yellow rice with chicken), cheese, and plantains all together in a wrap. I will repeat, I do NOT eat my plantains with anything...that's why they're on the side! The rice was bland and dry. Chicken was okay...definitely did not taste like cilantro or lime. So I just picked out the chicken and had my side of pico de gallo with chips. Worst plate ever. I get why people may like it since many people like the mix of arroz con pollo with plantains but there's many people who don't! Your goal should be to make the customers happy. Clearly that's not this chef's goal. Not sure if I'll be back now. Plantain allergies exist (you can be allergic to almost anything): rightdiagnosis.com/f/foo… Educate yourself!

The good: Food was delicious. Very yummy. Very attentive waitress. Waitress helped to find solutions with a soup problem. Food seemed to be made with lots of care and creativity. The Bad: Kind of loud. Unfortunately we were put in the darkest corner of the restaurant. (Careful of the right side) Because the food is made creativity it takes awhile to get your meal. 15-20 after we finished our appetizers.
(5)Clelia C.
Good food and service. Tasty and creative menu offerings. Fair pricing. Nice decor. Good location.
(4)Gisell M.
I have been to their location twice and multiple times to the food truck a few years ago. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The tiger shrimp ceviche which I'm having today is absolutely delicious. The shrimp is chunky and the kick they give it is just right. It's not spicy but with a kick. A definite must have. The white sangria is very good too. Do NOT get me started on the Elvis. They have taken the pb and j to another level. However.. That is a meal I will probably have once a quarter. Fried plantains, cheese, patty and pb and j. It is the perfect mix! The service both times I've been has been great. So DELICIOUS!!! The location is very hip. However, the booths are a little awkward. Towards the right, the booths are too spaced out. I had to switch booths because there was too much space between me and and the table. They have tvs, the artwork on the walls is amazing. We will definitely be coming here to catch some heat games. Everything is delicious!
(4)Eric I.
Great food. The best food!!! Ok service. Cool vibe. LOOOOONGG FOOD WAIT TIMES. seriously though, this would be 5 stars if I didn't have to wait 30 mins for my apps and 50 minutes for food.
(3)Vanessa L.
The food here is good and so is the service but there was nothing out of this world about this restaurant. I do remember the food being very greasy which was a negative. Not wowed but no complaints either. It was just a meh experience. I like greasy just like everyone else but not when it gives me heart burn. I give it three stars.
(3)Oscar O.
Great food great service great mix of food the best thing i like is the different textures, flavors and great customer service like i said in the beginning. Not the same as pines blvd restaurant. Must visit dont vist the one in pines food doesnt taste the same and the service is definitely not the same. Gooooooooooo to the one in sunset only everyone you will be very happy.
(5)Jennifer R.
Food was amazing and the server was so helpful! !!! Wish I lived closer because this spot is one of the best!!!
(5)Brittany G.
Was super packed and the service wasn't that great the night we were there... but the atmosphere was fun and the food was delicious. I will definitely go back and try it again.
(4)Fergie A.
So good! So yummy ! And our waiter Jorge (or George) was really nice and friendly and helpful on our first visit! Can't wait to go back!
(5)Cary J.
The jumbo burrito. Omg. Plan on 2 things. 1 plan on sharing it. It is a beast 2 plan on using a fork and knife.. Can't hold this burrito.. Don't order tacos... Rock that burged on 72nd has the world's best .. Plan on a wait Other than that 4 stars..
(4)Nachi D.
The food used to be great when they first opened and we used to go often...service was great and the convenient location close to home was an added bonus. Last time I went, my heart broke. Service was slow...so slow I left without eating after 45 minutes of waiting. I had actually considered not going based on the time before this visit when the food was just...not worth the wait! But again, convenience drew me back. We had kids in our party and I think 45 mins for food is insulting for an adult, let alone a child!!! Nothing was offered!!!!! And lord knows I wouldn't have ordered anything after 30 mins of waiting cause I don't know of I would've ever gotten it. Needless to say, the original greatness of the muffin tops shall remain a memory...with a sad feeling!
(1)Amabel D.
Food was tasty, service was so-so. First time here, met up with some old friends to catch up. This restaurant is very spacious, a lot of seating, and the type of restaurant where it's a ok to be little loud because the seating is spread out. All of my friends and I got something different to eat and we pretty much killed our plates. I got the Puffy Flatton: puffy flat bread with your choice of protein (ribeye all the way!), tomatoes, lettuce, and this delish avocado cilantro sauce. One of my friends got the same thing but just on a grilled flatbread. Both dishes get served with tortilla chips on the side. No sauces, so we asked for guacamole (which is an extra $2) but worth it! Their guac is awesomeeee! Every dish comes with your choice of protein, so there's a lot of options. Beef, chicken, pork, etc. And please try the dessert Balls to the Walls! UH-MAH-ZING. It's similar to a molten lava cake. Now on to the service, I'm not sure if our waitress was new or.. Idk. She was nice but clueless. We ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer and we never got it. By the time we mentioned it to our waitress our entrees were already coming out, and she seemed shocked to know we didn't get it, but we just ended up canceling it. She took forever and a day with ringing up our bill and the restaurant wasn't that busy.. So I can't really give her that. Besides the whatever service, I would go back there to try the other foods. Hopefully the service will be better tho.
(3)Rebecca G.
We ordered from here tonight a take out order. The girl on the phone told me it would be 30 min.! My husband went to pick it up and had to wait another THIRTY MINUTES! I've recommended Latin House to so many of my friends and family but after tonight I'm done! There was no apology from a manager ... NOTHING!
(1)Yanela G.
First of all the food is honestly a solid 4 on its own, however do not come here if you want decent service, it will only frustrate you, also don't come here if you have any kind of time crunch. You will not be leaving within the hour and it doesn't matter how busy or not busy it is, could be empty its still a struggle, which is a shame because the burritos are awesome, malanga chips are too. Need a better staff overall
(2)Rosa Q.
This was my first time here and the food was great. I had the vaca frita nachos,the taco's and a dessert made of fried cake balls injected with dulce de leche and drizzeled with honey. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Dinorah a.
Unacceptable service !!! We arrived at 8pm & the hostess told us wait was 45mins, While we waited we ordered drinks and a guacamole we kept seeing empty tables and no one was being seated. We had 9 parties in front of us and there were 6 tables empty , my husband went to ask why they were not seating on those empty booths & they answered that the kitchen is too small to handle all the tables being occupied .. We got seated 9pm We ordered appetizers & entrees all at once , It is now 9:42pm we r still waiting for our entrees!!! Atrocious service !!! NEVER AGAIN !!
(1)Memi C.
This restaurant actually deserves no stars , so disappointed with the service , came here with a party of 20 for my birthday , the hostess was very rude and asked us to leave . At the bar we asked to be served drinks while we wait and no one wanted to help us , This is very sad because the food in this restaurant is the best , but their customer service by the hostess was a nightmare . Our server was actually nice , the food was as always delicious . Overall I'm gonna think twice before visiting this restaurant again !
(1)Stacey M.
Great food. I had a shrimp burrito with plantains and it was great. Service was quick. Cool vibe with beautiful paintings on the walls. Definitely worth checking out.
(4)Alyssa M.
My boyfriend and I decided to come here because we were craving burgers. We had heard it was good and we knew food network had been there. We began our meal with red sangria... Which was very good!!! Then we moved on to have the queso app which our server suggested. After waiting at least 20mins it came out. It was not what we had expected at all. It was a little bit of ground chorizo covered in a thick blob of cheese. The cheese had no flavor and we couldn't even cut it with a knife it was so thick and solid. Finally we got three mini burgers the original, american and the western. This were less than mediocre coming from a place known for its burgers. The service was ok but we were past up multiple times by our sever to fill our water up. All in all I would not go back. It was quite underwhelming.
(2)Joel F.
My favorite place to go eat and have a few drinks. The Elvis burger is my favorite. Perfect balance of peanut butter and jelly. And the sweet plantain sets it off. All their food is great. Chef M knows what he's doing. The biggest problem is the amount of money I spend since I always end up eating and drinking so much! Keep up the good work guys!
(5)Juan G.
Best Burger in Miami hands down , what flavors !!! What flavors , for the meat ,cheeses , sauce and presentation. Spaghetti potatoes are fine but too much for the plate . Service was good , very nice , polite and cordial young person .
(4)Todd O.
Second time I have been here and the service speed is terrible! This place needs to hire someone who knows how to run a restaurant. Food is good but the hour wait for my meal is crazy. Watched two tables that showed up 20 mins after I ordered get their food before we did. Sorry but no more of my business for Latin house.
(2)Andrea A.
I usually would have given this place a 4 stars because the food is remarkable. But the service isn't so great. And the guy manager (on two occasions) were not paying attention to our needs. 5 minutes before being greeted but the food was great !!!!!
(3)Jessica P.
The food here was pretty good. I like that you can order taco with different proteins to be able to try more variety. The food took a little longer than I would have liked. The waiter kept coming back to tell us it will be out shortly. My friend asked for a lemon for his water at least 3 times... The lemon never came.
(3)Romy V.
Love this place and their nachos! They have amazing food and a great waiter named Steven Mandri--he's the nicest most attentive staff member, I definitely recommend asking to be sat in his section.
(5)Joaquin R.
Food was okay. The Original Burger was okay as well as the Chimi Burrito. The Balls to the Walls Dessert was good. Pricing: The food was absolutely overpriced. My wife and I ordered two main dish and a dessert and it came out to $47. We didn't even order appetizers or drinks. Service: The server was great. However, the wait time for the food was horrendous. My wife and I sat down and ordered at 515pm. We didn't leave LHG until 640pm. I was shocked it took that long since we only ordered 3 menu items. Decor was nice If LHG truly wants to have success long term, they will need to solve their food pricing and the wait time for your food orders.
(1)Jorge F.
Straight fire! First time here. I had the Chimi burrito with fire shrimp. It was amazing! We also ordered the chicken Sneaky nachos for appetizer. These were also amazing. We tried several main events. They have a great selection of draft beers. Now for dessert, we had Balls to the wall, and we also had these little balls filled with condensed milk and cheese, they weren't the cheesecake bites, but I can't remember... These were also amazing!
(5)Patrick C.
What a Shame!!! Amazing food, amazingly BAD service! To start, we waited for over 30 minutes with empty tables everywhere. When we finally got seated, there were uncleared tables all around us...so gross...that stayed uncleared for most of our meal, while tons of people were waiting! Three different times servers brought food that wasn't ours to the table...three times...we thought we were getting punked. The floors are sticky and slippery at the same time (how is that possible?), and the tables are shorter than the booths....uh...what?? So wierd. To top it all off, it was Fathers Day, I was with my wife and daughters, and not one employee said Happy Fathers Day??!!?? The entire front of house staff were kids with absolutely no clue. If ever a restaurant needed a FOH Manager, its this one. Such a shame, the chef has chops, but theres just too many great eats in Miami (that actually care about service) to waste your time and money here. Great food, I mean, really great, but I will never go back.
(2)Daniel R.
Wow what can i say, chimi burrito is the best burrito in miami, the ambiance is nice and service is great. Everything on the menu looks so good, my dads sangria was the bomb, the chicken and pork have a unique taste to it, really recommend for dinner, awesome experience and will be coming back
(5)Idelsis A.
OMG is an understatement! Best burgers in town! The original burger with an egg on top was delish as so was the French burger. My little one had the chicken chuncks which were so yummy!
(5)Aldo G.
My taste buds had forgotten just how good the food was at this place. I had the two sliders for the price of one burger. I choose to do the cuban and the traditional. Both were good but the Original was phenomenal. One of the best burgers I have ever had. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anybody else.
(4)Tania G.
DISCLAIMER: when I wrote my last review for Latin House I was pregnant. So I may have been a little moodier than usual, BUT, I still stand by my sauce on a spoon issue. Anyway, this visit was just what I needed to bump them back up to the 5 stars I KNOW they deserve. Let me make one thing clear, the food here NEVER lacks anything. That being said, the sneaky nachos were DELICIOUS. The muffin tops, as per usual, were also DELICIOUS. They seem to have worked out the quirks on the service end, which is great. P.S. Once a stalker, always a stalker!
(5)John C.
I like the burger and I like the tacos I come every once in a while for something a little different They have a great beer selection.
(3)Jamie S.
Not only was the food delish, the service was excellent at Latin House. We had the sneaky nachos with vaca frita. YUM! I had the Original Mad Love burger which had three cheeses, bacon and avocado-lime sauce...OMG. So good! I couldn't even finish it, it was huge! Decor was cool but I will say though, the place is a little pricey. Aside from that, no complaints.
(4)Jessica P.
I would give them 4 stars but their service is terrible and the good prices have gone up like crazy!! I've been their a few times and I absolutely love their appetizer for quesadilla's and the chimiburrito! The lettuce tacos are amazing as well but the service their is horrible! They take for ever to sit you, then forever to attend you. I even tried pick up and there was one employee (I think she was even a manager) just on the computer. She didn't acknowledge me or even try to help when I said "excuse me" she just ignored me. I really felt like leaving but my food was paid for.
(3)Natassia M.
I've been here a few times for lunch with coworkers and I'd have to say this restaurant is completely overrated. The food is good but not great... I always order the skinny nachos with chicken but it's never consistent. Some times the condiments are not even so I end up with only nacho cheese, chips and some chicken the other time the portion was a lot smaller. The service here is not great. I can't say it's bad because there has been a time that I've had good service but for the most part the servers are uninterested in the customers. They take ages to take your order and are generally not pleasant. Once, I had a waiter just throw the menus on the table and walk away. I don't ever choose to come here... I'm usually dragged by a coworker. I'd probably be more inclined to come if the service was better.
(2)Niniva S.
First time, the food is good, the sangria of the chart, and the service was excellent, economical enough to make it a most visit. The only improvement I would suggest is the tables need replacement.
(3)Guelsy D.
Nice new place for lunch. Sangria is a must! (It's award winning). Sneaky nachos were my favorite. Anything with vaca frita is amazing!!!! Service was on point!
(4)Michelle D.
LHG adore your food but the service has to improve :-( Hostess needs to do a better job at accommodating guests and servers don't seem to last which doesn't seem to be a good sign on the management. Service has been slower than I'd expect on numerous occasions but the food and sangria keep me coming back. Five stars when service changes :)
(3)Jesse L.
Never fails. All visits to LHG are always excellent. Had the nachos with vaca frita. Deeeeeeelicious. Tried the Mad Love burger with avocados and it was awesome. I did notice that they have a bigger craft beer selection. Had 3 different kinds that were pretty good. As for desert. Its a must you try Balls to the Walls with condense milk. Yuuuuuuummy. Would defenitely recommend.
(5)Nydia M.
After hearing about this place for about a year, I finally decided to give it a try. The biggest complaint i heard about Latin House is the slow service. I figured coming in on a Wednesday afternoon would help me avoid that problem...boy was I wrong! We ordered tacos since Wednesday is all - you - can - eat taco day for $12. I had 3 carnitas tacos and 3 of some other meat I can't remember right now. They were delicious! Very good flavor and texture. I could have had a dozen of each. Well, not really, but they were great. The problem? They took about an hour to arrive at our table while the restaurant was 95% empty. And then when someone at my table ordered another bunch of tacos, those were served in under 5 minutes. It made no sense. It feels like they make you wait on purpose. Problem is, people like me only wait like that once. Sorry, Latin House. Miami is full of restaurants with food just as good, but with much better service. I really hope they fix this HUGE problem before it's too late.
(2)Alexa I.
While vacationing in Miami I wanted to try the restaurant because of Guy Fieri's show and it was great! We all shared the sneaky nachos with crane asada and were licking our fingers clean! I had the chuchi bowl of rice which was full of flavor and spiciness! Everyone else with me got the chimi burritos with different proteins in it. A great feature of this place is that u can choose your meat/fish/shrimp that u want added to your dish. We then tried the balls to the wall dessert which was fried brownies in funnel cake. I would recommend everything we had and I would go back soon! Our waiter was excellent and made helpful suggestions!
(4)Dale W.
Good food, cold local craft beer, fast and friendly service. Definitely going to be a regular spot for me.
(5)L P.
We first went to Latin House because it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Our first time there was good - burgers were delicious and cooked well. We have been back there twice since and will not go again. The second and third visits, our burgers simply didn't taste as good and they were overcooked. The last visit, the servers broke one of our cardinal rules - they served the main course before we finished our appetizer. On top of that, my wife's burger, ordered medium rare, came out well done. A restaurant that prides itself on its burgers shouldn't make that mistake. Not worth it, especially if you don't live in Kendall.

Perfect burgers and Fries and comfortable tables and chairs:) and this is what i cant tell about the personnel! they deserve no stars at all. This is a reason I am giving three stars instead of four ;(

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Food is to die for! Such a fresh and great taste to every dish. As soon as you step foot inside you can tell you will be in for a treat. From the smell to the taste, everything was great. AND, our experience in the restaurant Saturday put the icing on the cake! Our server Jonathan was a very nice young man. He was very polite and patient yet very quick. My family and I were able to understand the menu thoroughly due to the time he took to explain the dishes and history of the restaurant. His suggestions were phenomenal, never did I have to ask for refill or napkin. Once a waitress, it is very rare for me to come across young people who care. If I could recommend my top 3 things about Latin House they would be: Chimmi burrito Red sangria Jonathan Again food was great. Service was great. Will be back soon.

This place has some of the best food in Miami. Every time I visit I order something different. I've made my way through a little over half the menu and everything so far has been above average or the best I've ever had. Balls to the Wall is the best dessert I've ever had vouched by a few friends on separate visits. Other stand out items is the Pig Wings and Burrito. Haven't had Lobster lollipops since the seem to be out every time I visit. I'm not happy about some the reviews some people give this place simply cause they weren't treated like Queen Elizabeth when they walked in. Fuck them..

Went there because Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives went there. Decided to splurge and get the lobster appetizer. It was awful. Chewy, tasteless and way overpriced for four pieces of fried lobster. My friends however, had a great lunch with the Cuban burger and the grilled burrito. The service was excellent.

I am a fan of this place because their shrimp tacos are AH-MAZING! MY NOTES: The guacamole is always fresh. On a few occasions, the chips have been stale. Happy hour specials are your best bet, as most dishes are priced above $10.00, even appetizers. The burgers are delicious! The menu is VERY creative. The staff is friendly. They have a private area that you can rent.

Outstanding !! Another Guy Fieri food network joint yes he was here !! I see it on the tv show. I go try it out for myself but this place of the Hook !! Interesting decor , decent service, reasonable prices and food like no other place that I have been too before. We had for appetizer the Fire Roasted Shrimp very different and I had for my main course "The Chimi Burrito, as shown on Triple D... I have no idea how they make it but I could not stop eating and it was Huge but I still could not get enough !! All their plates is topped off with a little homemade lime avocado sauce, that just seems to put the icing on the cake. I will return to the Latin House Grill very soon to dive my taste buds into one of their Triple D off the hook Burgers. Don't forget to order a plate of their Tangled Love Fries you will get hooked !! This place is Hot and on Fire !!
(5)Carlos J.
All I have to say is it lived up to all the hype. The food was amazing...the nachos with vaca frita, the chimi burrito, topped off with balls to the wall. Well definitely be back. Owner was super welcoming, came by or take twice to ensure everything was going well. The server was great. To sum it up it was a great experience.
(5)Christina O.
This place was yummy!!!! The chicken nachos were on point and def a good deal for $10!

Where have you been all my life? So i guess this place was a food truck and they finally opened up a restaurant on Sunset. Let me start off by saying that the two times ive come here the restaurant has been busy. Great service and there hasnt really been a wait time or any issues the times that ive been here. The firecracker shrimp appetizer is delicious. Shrimp is a little on the spicy side but complemented very well with marinated lime shredded lettuce and carrots. I havent tried the burgers (will update when i do) but the chimi burrito is out of this world. Even the meat inside is marinated very well and cooked to perfection, its really big so split with a friend if you'd like!

Let me start off by saying the food at Latin house is very good. Unfortunately, the service is awful. I went to Latin house when they first opened as I was a fan of the food truck. The food was very good, but it took my wife and I about an hour and a half to get our food. I overlooked the horrible service on this occasion because the restaurant had just opened and probably needed some time to iron out some issues. My husband and I returned two months later. Again, the food was good. Again we waited close to two hours after being seated to get our food. We hoped that it was just a bad day. Perhaps one...or four cooks called out sick that day. We returned again today with our ten month old son. We arrived at 7:45...we're seated at 8:15.. and we're finally served at 10:00. Our son had given up on the night long ago. On a separate note, this was after we ordered sweet potato peels which appetizer was served to another table that had been seated 10 minutes after our table of five. We were told twenty minutes later that there were no sweet potato peels left. The same table was served their meal prior to us. We were told by our waitress that the smaller tables are often served first. After complaining of the service, we were "gratiously" offered a complementary round of drinks. However, not the drinks we already ordered for the last two hours.. but a future round of drinks. Obviously we declined and left. This place could have a bright future if they ever get their act together; however, service like this will only serve to push even the most passionate of fans away. Three strikes was enough for us and I I know we aren't the only ones.

Ordered the burrito for pick-up. Took 55 minutes to fulfill the order and the restaurant was not even at half capacity. I mean, staff on their phones as customers wait to pick up their orders. The wait would have been tolerable if the burrito actually lived up to the description and contained all the ingredients stated within the menu. Very disappointed in both the service and product.
(1)Helena C.
WOW!!! Totally unexpected. PHENOMENAL EATS! From the queso to the pork wings and the BURGERS OMG!!! And Balls to the Wall... well that was a religious experience. Our 1st time will not be our last.
(5)Annette M.
This place is so fantastic, I can't believe anyone gave it less than five stars! I couldn't believe how fast the food came, the sangria was the bomb! And so was out server Kevin! Kevin has a great sense of humor and great taste in wine. My daughter said they were The best quesadillas she ever had and she has had a lot(I'm not even exaggerating. She almost always orders them if an option.) Our new favorite restaurant! The place has a great atmosphere and such delicious food. And The deserts!! The deserts!! You can't leave here without trying one! So happy to have some new Awesome restaurants in west kendall! Open Mondays and we'll be here every one!

I was so excited to eat at Latin House, from the moment I saw the menu. We decided to finally go on Friday night. As we arrived we were seated promptly by the hostess, that was the highlight of the evening. Actually, the food wasn't bad but, it is really hard to say positive things about the food, when so many other terrible things over shadow it. The waiter was inexperienced, unfamiliar with the menu and specials which we knew about bc of Facebook, and was clueless in general about everything else. When inquiring about the specials, I asked the waiter about the "tomahawk steak", the waiter looked at me like I was crazy, it is actually a special that they offer,very often. I don't know about you, but don't use the word "tomahawk" often in everyday conversation, so it is extremely puzzling to me that our waiter would be so unfamiliar with the menu, and the special. After all the "tomahawk" shenanigans, our waiter finally brought us the specials menu. Yes, he brought us a whopping 1 menu to be shared among 4 adults. Our waiter had no idea how many "pig wings" come to an order or how they were prepared. "4 to 6" he said, there were 3 pig wings. When our food arrived, we asked for ketchup. CRAZY RIGHT??!!?? I know, what we're thinking asking for ketchup at a burger and taco bar!!!! Yeah, bottom line, no ketchup. I understand stand to certain extent that the chef would want to maintain the integrity of the recipes that he puts together but, this is a business, and he is in the business to make money. How can you have a children's menu, serve burgers and fries, and not have ketchup. It's just weird!!!! Chef M, apparently, doesn't provide ketchup bc it has "preservatives". But don't worry, they will provide for your dipping pleasure if you would like, 2 spoons full of BBQ sauce served on a very large appetizer plate. Our table was very cluttered so I asked our waiter if he could just bring a small bowl and he responded by saying "chef m is very particular about the way he serves things, this is the way he wants to serve his BBQ sauce". So, apparently there is this whole plan on how BBQ sauce is going to be served, not ketchup, at a burger place. OK, makes perfect sense. We were never asked about wanting refills or more beers. Our waiter was always lost and never to be found. There are only 2 desserts! Alright, not that big of a deal but, the problem is that the 2 desserts they do have,are practically the same thing. They are both cleverly named deep fried dough, with sweetened condensed milk, one has chocolate in the middle and one doesn't. Yes, I agree, sound delicious, and they were but, how about some diversity. When are dessert arrived we were given forks....?!?!? I asked for a spoon and was told that they had run out. I wonder why they ran out of spoons. Maybe if Chef M wasn't so ridiculous about the way he wants his inexperienced staff to serve, weird BBQ sauce, instead of preservative filled ketchup, even though there are organic alternatives, at a burger place, maybe, there would have been enough spoons for their two deep fried dough desserts. Yes, I know that sentence went on forever but, I want you to know that this negativity is all stemming from the fact that I had such high hopes for Latin House. Last and final nail in the coffin, is when our bill arrived. There was an automatic 18% gratuity added. There were 4 adults and 2 children that didn't eat. Completely, ridiculous!!! I really hope that Chef M gets it together. Apparently he is putting way to much thought on how he is going to present BBQ and not enough time on what is going to keep his business thriving. I love how there is such a discrepancy in the reviews, either people hate this place, or 5 star love it. Maybe they should put more time and effort into making the service better, then begging for good reviews from their friends. Went back in, after a few years, and was still disappointed. Positive was the food was pretty good but, the service was still horrible, and I restaurant was so stuffy and hot, and it wasn't even full. We asked multiple times if they could lower the air and was told it was at its lowest. Food took forever, yes I know everything is made to order not frozen ..... But still way too long. Ordered sweet petals to come with my meal, were finally brought to the table, when I was practically finished with my burger. You would think that maybe they would have taken it off the bill but, nope....
(1)Amanda F.
Excellent!! Red sangria was addicting, it's do delicious that you just want to chug it. 3 glasses down and I ordered the vaca Frita burrito and it was delicious in every way possible. Deff big enough to spit with your loved one. Dad had the popular burger and said it was 1 of the best he's ever had. Mom had the.... I forgot but it was some taco and she loved it. Finished the meal off with balls to the wall dessert.... Do not leave the place without ordering this dessert!!!
(5)Ralph G.
There is nothing i dont like about this place.. honestl.y, the Mad Love burger is one of the best buirgers ive ever had... their specials are on point - especially on Thursdays when they have the $3 sliders.. its a nice respite from the wallet drain of other local eating spots.. I honetsly have never tried a dish i didnt like.. there were a few service hiccups the first few times i visited (shiortly after opening) but those seem to have been fixed.
(5)Aries R.
Food was really good, well presented as described. Only thing is that you will need to eat it so fast due to the AC blowing over 2k CFM's causing your food to get cold within minutes. Besides that it's good
(4)Michael P.
came here because of a friends birthday and probably would have never ever found it or decided to stop by if it was not for that. They gave the table some nachos that were very very good, but the burrito we ordered looked good on the menu but in reality, it really needed some vegetables, actually every plate really needed some greens or reds or something fresh because everything was quite overpowered by salty and fried flavors. You just get that feeling like you consumed really fatty stuff and i personally don like that feeling. The service was alright and they kind of rushed us out at the end. so meh
(3)Melanie U.
I have been wanting go eat here ever since I moved into the neighborhood and wow is this place absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 3pm on a weekday so it was pretty empty. Our server, Blaze, was really friendly and helpful when explaining the menu, he really knew his stuff. My bf went for the chimi burrito which had so much stuff but all I remember is seeing sweet plantains in there! So yummy and well made. I got the Puffy Flatton which was like an XL Chalupa but way better tasting with fresher ingredients. He had vaca frita in his meal and I had carnitas and both were cooked to perfection. The prices are fine for what you're getting, a delicious and well crafted meal! My bf is difficult when it comes to leaving servers a tip but he was more than generous this time around, such excellent service! We both left stuffed and will definitely return.
(5)Murielle D.
I love this place, over the course of a few months I've ordered and dined here and the menu had a lot to choose from. My favorite item is the taqueria street tacos, they are delicious and the crema is delicious! I've tried the grilled chimi burrito and let me say that it's huge, two people can share it and it won't disappoint. I haven't had a burger but that's next! The only thing that disappointed is that I've had to pick up my food after I ordered online for delivery, that should specify delivery isn't available. The food is great though.
(4)Gary H.
Had the Cuban sliders, very tasty and surprisingly filling. Our waitress Michele was very attentive. As luck would have tonight was Belgian tasting that featured our 3 favorite beers on s complimentary flight with a Hogaarten, a Stella and a Leffe all great beers from Belgium. Good value for the money, nice atmospheres,
(5)Carlos J.
Went to the new restaurant for lunch time. They were pretty busy but it's not the best place for that 1hr lunch. Parking lot was a big pain, there wasn't enough spots for everyone. I witnessed a customer back up into another customers car in the parking lot. I had to drive around a few times to park. Service was good at first and everyone was tentative except my actual waiter. I waited 20min for my check, and noticed the party at the table next to me also had the same problem. Prices are pretty steep at $23 for one person w/ an app. The food was good at least. I suggest a lunch menu that won't take so long and can make this a daily lunch destination. A lot of potential, just got to work out the kinks and the bad apples.
(2)Julie G.
Love this place! I loved their food truck and now I love the restaurant. I go pretty often and the food is always so good! My favorites are the French mad love burgers and the tacos! My boyfriend loves the lobster bisque and the chiming burrito. The staff is very nice and I always have a good experience. I highly recommend this place.
(4)Karen C.

Review #400!! Going back to Miami for this one... Absolutely Loved this place! Food truck favorites right in Kendall! Latin House is a food truck that has now developed their own brick and mortar right in the heart of Kendall on Sunset. The menu includes all your favorite food truck staples like burgers and tacos but with a latin twist. The menu also includes various other items from various other cuisines. The restaurant is a modern style place that is really nice and has a huge bar with TV's everywhere as well. The service is stellar when I was there, but there really wasn't many people there around 4 in the afternoon. The place seems to always be busy when I'm driving by around night time, so be ready to wait. We wanted to try a variety of things, so we skipped out on getting the Mad Love Burger and went about ordering a variety of different sliders and tacos. We ordered 4 different International muffin tops (which are mini versions of the Mad Love burger), the American, Western, Bulgarian, and Cuban. We also ordered the Taqueria Calle Tacos (order of 4) and you're given the choice of choosing 4 different options. Sounds great. Let's get 2 orders of those (8 in total). We ordered a combination of Fire House Shrimp, Ribeye Steak, Carne Asada, Calamari, and Cabo Wabo (fish). The International Muffin Tops (the burgers) were incredible. I loved every hint of distinction stemming from the different burgers. The American burger is your typical burger coming with Maple smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an avocado lime sauce. The most basic if you're looking to keep it simple. The Western Burger antes it up a bit with Pepperjack Cheese and a Large Fried Onion Ring. The BBQ sauce on top makes it another favorite amongst people, but I really enjoyed the more unique ones. Like the Cuban, which had Guaya marmalade and Queso Blanco. It was a wonderful bite because it seemed as though two different "patties" of flavors were tasted and the guaya and cheese were great. The Bulgarian came with Jalapeno Havarti Cheese with french fried onions. The Havarti Cheese is a very creamy slice of cheese and worked as a glue for the fried onions and burger as well. Each one was good and worth a shot. The tacos were even better though, in my opinion. The Fire House Shrimp had to be one of the best tacos I've had in a long time. The shrimp were massive!! I was expecting small shrimp and probably would have been satisfied with such...but not at Latin House. They really impress with how large the shrimp was. They're flash fried and tossed with Thai chili sauce which was more sweet than spicy, but equally incredible. The Cabo Wabo was great too! The fish was real crispy and clean and made for a wonderful bite. The Calamari taco was ok. Nothing spectacular, while the Ribeye steak was just alright as well. I was hoping for more of a different taste than others, but it was still decent enough. The carne asada was very good but nothing compares to those Fire House Shrimp Tacos. Wonderful place to go if you haven't yet. The place it occupies used to be a sushi place and the decor kind of looks like that. Regardless, the food is wonderful, and the service (during non-peak hours) was stellar. Waitress understood our gluttonous needs and attended to them well. Definitely worth multiple visits.
(5)Nancy B.
5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. not even close to 5 stars, but not the worst on the planet, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and I must say it was amazing. The music was not loud and the atmosphere was great (contrary to what I've read in other reviews). We had a male waiter who came around very often and was very friendly. This place has a full bar with a very large variety of different beers, which is nice since we don't have many places like that around this area. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Tangled Love as an appetizer and the Chimi Burrito and the Masita for lunch. The Masita seemed on the healthier side than the burrito, but was still very good. The Chimi Burrito was definitely my favorite thing we ordered. We will definitely be visiting this place again, but maybe for dinner with a few friends. Overall, the service was great, food was out of this world, and atmosphere was cool and enjoyable!
(5)Mark B.
I have only eaten their burgers so far and they are great. The atmosphere is loud so my pregnant girlfriend and I usually get their food to go.
(4)Claudia O.
We visited Latin House a couple times right when they opened and despite some opening week glitches, the food was good enough and the employees all so nice, that we've kept coming back. I'm happy we have because they've found their footing, fixed the problems they had with the food taking forever, and everyone really knows what they're doing now. I feel like the appetizers are a little over-priced, but they are all good. I've tried different burgers - the original, the cuban, the french - all delicious. The fries are amazing. The veggie protein option for the Mexican dishes is really good and can fool a carnivore. My absolute favorite thing is the chimi burrito though and it's big enough to split between two people. Also great is their beer selection. I love places that serve out-of-the-ordinary brews. There's a table for domino and I've heard they started doing karaoke on Thursdays!
(5)Kristen M.
We went for Cinco De Mayo which was nice and different from the crowded streets of Brickell & South Miami, the food was good and they had beer specials. The $2 tacos are a bit misleading considering they come in sets of 4 (you can mix and match the meats) so in reality they ar $8 not $2. But they are good. We also had the nachos which were very tasty. I wouldn't mind coming back.
(3)Alex A.
Food is great. No good healthy options tho! And the service is horrible. Servers walk around aimlessly with no urgency or purpose. Food is sloooow but worry the wait. Just don't be too hungry...

Amazing food. The carne asado was delicious. Beer towers are available too.
(5)Will M.
Lows:... It's slow. It's pricey for what you get. It's slow. The tables wobble. It's slow. The bench seats slide instead of staying put. It's slow. The music is way too loud and annoying. Highs:...( There really isn't a high per se ). The burger had a good taste, but not compared to the competition. The fries are spiral cut. Some may enjoy that, for the sake of something different. I think the spiral shape means a sort of flat, tongue-adhering shape that takes away the sensation of something crispy. Highs and lows aside, clearly the conversation topic about the place was the TIME it took for everything. It's a good thing we arrived at this place sooner than we had planned. We were lucky to be seated quickly. Others that arrived after us were asked to wait even though tables were empty. It became obvious why they were told to wait. The kitchen can't keep up with even a sparsely populated dining room. After ordering and getting drinks, tens upon tens of minutes will go by. You'll look at the bar, you'll look at other guests waiting to be seated. You'll look at the poor folks waiting to be seated. You'll hope and wish that someone would turn down the music to something more condusive to a nice time at a restaurant. You'll get hungrier by the second wondering if your food was even started. Is the cook on break? Did some staff not show up to work? Are they trying to be slow to make the room seem more full? Should we keep on waiting? Should we ask the waiter how much longer? It's hard to have a nice time at this place. I won't give it a 1 because the food isn't horrible, but definitely no more than 2.
(2)'Danny S.
amazing food, creative/original menu, great decor, great beer selection with a bunch of rare beers (UFO, Brooklyn Lager, etc), great presentation with the food, amazing tasting food, super clean, super friendly staff, the bartender let me sample some of the rare beers. I eat out everyday and its really hard for a restaurant to really impress me, I finally found a place which truly blew me away! I'll be a customer for life!!! Thank you Michell for opening something different yet so amazing from everyone else!
(5)Erica V.
I ordered something that I had saw on the show Eat Street I believe, and I was not impressed at all. The menu seems very confusing as you have to "add" meat into your dish for extra money. They actually charged me $2.00 to add meat to my taco. How else would you eat a taco??? Sneaky, not good and will not be coming back!
(2)Rachel S.
Ok I loooooved their food truck burger but what I had here sucked. The service was awesome but the food was really bad. The carne asado tacos were a rip off. Flavors eeww & price was even more disappointing. The famous burrito tasted like a mouthful of 3 year old grease. Ugh vomit ! I should've had a burger but with all the ranting and raving about the tacos & the burrito I wanted to try it. What a disappointment :( I really wanted to like it.
(2)Max T.
I got a chance to catch these guys on sw 89th ave and bird road. It is a good spot for them because this area is restaurant lacking!!! The MAD LOVE burger was really good. They are drawing big crowds. The Mad love burger has some kind of special sauce, 2 types of meat in the patty, avocado, onions, curly fries, a nice bread, huge size. Size has to be between 3 quarter pound burger to a full pound. Several types of cheeses inside. The meat they grind together gives it good texture and taste. It is a really good burger. The prices are not cheap, for a food truck, but the food is not food truck taste. Its not healthy food, but it is so freaking good, I wish I could have it every day; too bad my cholesterol may not agree with that decision. I tried the chicken taco and the rib eye taco. Both were good, I prefer the rib eye. If they are out of MAD LOVE, these tacos may not be a bad option. It is amazing the crowds these people are getting. I hope we get more food trucks in town like NYC/LA. Give the place a try you wont regret it. I was told that on busy nights the quality is not as good, but I cant confirm this yet.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My buddy was raving and raving about trying the food, so I finally decided to go. Walking into the place feels like it definitely does not belong in Kendall. In a strip mall but has plenty of parking. walked in and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. It was a little busy. It has a more of a mid-town / wynwood feel to it. Love the hanging lights and all the art on the wall. They have a bar in the middle which is pretty sweet and serve many beers that you will not traditionally not find in most places such as Chimay. One complaint I do have is the actual seating arrangements. The booths are a bit small and the tables are just not set up right. Non the less what's up with the food.? Started out by ordering a Chimay then the waiter went off to ask me if I have ever tried the red bottle of Chimay. Told him no and took a chance on trying it. Comes in a large bottle that will probably give you 3.5 - 4.5 regular sized beers. So it's perfect for sharing and pouring a couple beers if your eating with another person. The recommendation was perfect. Moved on to the food. First order was an appetizer. Pig wings. They were AWESOME. At my table the original burger was ordered, the Carne Asada burrito and I ordered the Yellow Tail fish tacos. Everything was absolutely AMAZING! The burger is juicy, plump & delicious with the Latin fusion twist. The burrito is not what your thinking and has a twist to it. It's fused with sweet plantains, some other things and that delicious green sauce that they drizzle on top.. And it is huge! Absolutely awesome! Definitely something you can share. But OMG those fish tacos have to be the best fish tacos I have ever had. They are just out of this world. Its three tacos and once I devoured them I ordered another plate. Don't forget and just go try them now! Yellow Tail fish tacos.. Just wow! Definitely returning. I can't wait to have a Chimay & my Yellow Tail fish tacos and pick off whoever I'm with and force them to have the burrito so I can pick. :-)) Pros- 1. Mid-town/WynWood feel in Kendall 2. Friendly staff 3. Price 4. Beer Selection 5. The Fish Tacos! Cons- 1. The seating. Please fix this!
(5)Orlando S.
Finally had a chance to get to the restaurant today. Definitely not disappointed. The same taste and quality that got me hooked from the food truck was not lost in translation to the physical location. You do have to give it some time in terms of interior looks as they are still putting some finishing touches (like paint and better seating for the booths), but you go to a restaurant to eat and be served, am I right? The service was great and again the food was spot on! Quick in and out service and attentive. For those previous reviews that complained about the service I saw no signs of that anywhere here. Again with a new staff you have to give it some time if you have had a bad service experience, but Chef M. has definitely started something great and hope this will be the first of many locations! Got yourself a new LHG stalker here.

My wife and I have always seen this place every time we drive down Sunset Dr. and we finally decided to stop by and all I can say is why did I not stop by like 3 months ago. lol This place is amazing, really nice decor, great food, and an awesome bar. The service was a little slow, but I think they will improve with time. So the concept of the Latin House is a combo of casual bar food and tex mex. Their appetizers all looked wonderful; we had their "Mad love" wings, which they pride themselves on, and they are pretty good, not the" best in town" but a solid 8 out of 10. Their house "mad love" sauce is very flavorful and has a great kick of spice to it. My wife of course like always got the most expensive thing on the menu which was the Carne Asada which was some of the best I have ever had and was only $16.99; yes that is the most expensive thing on the menu. I had their famous classic burger, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was very juicy and the bread and cheese you can tell were of high quality. I highly recommend this place to anybody in the area; I am already taking my brother and sister in law next week to introduce them to this new little gem. This place is great for groups because the food is made with quality ingredients and they serve you very well, I swear their loaded nachos can feed a small country. Enjoy!!!

im lowering from 2 to 1 star, because seriously sending "hate mail" on yelp and intimidating people about their honest reviews is just flat out pathetic.
(1)Adam S.
I thought this place was decent, but nothing overly amazing and a little pricey for what the food is. We came here for lunch and got an appetizer and 2 entrees. The appetizer was the "sneaky nachos" with chorizo. They were pretty good, but as my wife said, "how good can nachos really be?" I answered, "for $10 they better be pretty damn good." These were perfectly fine nachos, but $10 nachos? Humph. For our entrees we had the vaca frita masita and the chimi burrito with ribeye. The masitas were really tasty. The meat was really good and the tortillas were light and tasted good. By far the best things we had here. The burrito was decent, but it was a little heavy and I felt like there was too much rice in it. I am not opposed to the rice being in there, but in my mind a $12 burrito should not be primarily rice. Ultimately, it was a solid, if unspectacular, meal. $36 (pre tip) for this type of meal is pretty pricey though (unless the food is blow me away good), and this was good not great food.

My boyfriend and i came here with a gift certificate I recieved. I order the lobster bisque as my appetizer. It tasted like they had melted a stick of butter and put it in a bowl. There was absolutely no lobster in it. I tried to be polite and take a few more sips.....but I felt like I was going to puke. My boyfriend ordered something as well, it was loaded with grease. I decided to maybe try something else, some kind of fried shrimp. The sauce that it came with was amazing, i was shocked. Then the bill came. There were only 2 other tables. We had been done with our food, 90 % of which was horrible. It took them almost 20 minutes to close out our bill. Both my boyfriend and i also ended up getting sick by the end of the night as well. Coincidence?This place has potential, but I was extremely disappointed with our food and service. Will not recommend to anyone. And will never go back.

what is up with LHG charging a "gratuitiy" and a "service fee" for take out orders?? As if their food wasnt expensive enough? I understand you use the "best" ingredients and yes your food is abosulutely delicious (hence why i spend 65$ for 2 burgers and 2 beers) but why on God's green earth am i being charged extra for getting in MY CAR DRIVING to YOUR RESTAURANT TO PICK UP FOOD???? although it is only a couple of dollars, its the moral behind it. I seriously dont think ill be getting take out anymore if they are just looking for ways to get all they can out of my pocket.

Very slow service. After waiting 45 - 60 minutes for a table had to wait another 60 minutes for food to come out.

Hands down the BEST food truck out there! I honestly cannot get enough of their food! Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that I have tried is absolutely delicious! My absolute favorite would have to be the sliders! these damn burgers are small and delicious! last week I had an American and Cuban slider and loved both. Another fav would have to be the chicken flatton, the sauces are amaze-balls! What else makes this food truck amazing? the friendly staff! no matter how hectic they are, they always take the time to ask me how's my food and if I need anything else (sauces, napkins etc) I once waited over an hour in line for these guys, so yeah, it's that serious! Follow them on Twitter and/or FB to find out where they'll be during the week and get ready for some serious deliciousness. If you happen to be at a food truck rally, LHG will fill you up, so you might want to share the food with someone. Prices are reasonable and they accept cash and credit cards. Oh and they have Mexican coke, WIN!

My only regret is that I didn't try the heavenly food truck earlier... Everything these people make is amazing...the chimis are the most delicious, scrumptious things I have ever had. Their portions are humongous, they're super affordable and everyone is super friendly! Do yourself a favor a try these guys...soon!!! I am an official LHG STALKER!!!
(5)Carlos R.
The tacos are fantastic, especially the cabo wabo fish tacos. Better than anything I've had throughout the Keys.

I really wanted to like this place, so it pains me to write this review. I was so excited to come here after following the business on FB and seeing all the pictures of their yummy looking food. We arrived on a Sunday night around 8:30pm. There were patrons there but the place was not full. We wanted to sit at a booth and there were several available, but all needed to be cleaned. Waited for a bit for staff to clean the area. It shouldn't take that long to wipe down a table and sweep. We were finally seated after 10 minutes. Then we just waited and waited. No one came to take a drink order. There were a couple of employees that looked like servers just standing around and talking. There was a server near us that never looked our way. We eventually decided to walk out. No one stopped us and asked how they could help. It was a miserable experience. Good food is important but service is just as well. I realize that making a transition from a food truck to a restaurant may not be easy, but the lack of attention to this very important detail (service) is baffling. Maybe I will give them a shot one more time once the taste of that experience has worn off.

Oh gosh, where to begin with Latin House? This place is an obsession for my family... any excuse to eat there is capitalized on immediately (Heat game? Mother's Day? Got out of work early?). On my most recent trip was happy to see they've actually gotten real menus (laminated, how fancy of them) and have added some wine to their already fantastic beer selection. Not many beers to choose from, but I appreciate a beer list with microbrews or harder-to-find beers. Don't worry, they also have Sam Adams, etc. for those of you who don't like to venture out of the box too often. The food? There are no words. Apps: The sneaky nachos LITERALLY take my breath away. I prefer them with carne asada or vaca frita. I'm not a big shrimp fan but my family has gotten the fire house shrimp a few times and each time it has been devoured with raves. I think the queso fondu is a little too thick (breaks all my chips... I'm not about that), but it is still tasty. For entrees, there really is nothing like the chimi burrito. I prefer it with carne asada, my cousin loves it with vaca frita. It's large enough to feed two, or one very hungry human (or, conversely, one growing 16 year old boy). Tacos are also stellar. The muffin tops are great; I'm particularly a fan of the Western. The French sounds strange, but we tried it upon the recommendation of the waitress and I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, I think we've had every entree on the menu and they've all been great. Reason for only four stars? The service. It's getting better, but it still isn't great. Half the time the restaurant is empty and I still feel like I'm searching desperately for someone to refill my water. We've had a few other service issues but the drink refills is my biggest bother. Regardless, this place is a can't miss. Do yourself a favor - come hungry, bring friends, and indulge in sneaky nachos, a chimi burrito, and a (or many) nice cold glass of beer. You'll thank yourself.

I need some Pepto. I went over hoping to try the much loved Mad Love Burger and to my dismay it wasn't on the menu so settled for a Muffin Top Italian Style. It was a 1/4lb burger on a itty bun topped with LOTS of Italian cold cuts, provolone, tomato and lettuce as well as a little sauce that I'm not too certain of. The burger felt like it was way bigger than the 1/4 promised which I never mind and the meat was fresh and tasty but a little too "tasty". It felt over seasoned and the entire combo (which would not stay in the way too small bun) was difficult to get down even if shared. The price was just right at $6 for a combo which included a burger, nachos topped with meat and cheese and a soda. The nachos were REALLY GOOD! But, alas, just a side so we'll have to go back in hopes that they have some MAD LOVE for me.

kids quesadilla was much better than adult food. had a juicy burger, but so plain. the avocado lime crema is so minimal, a few lines on the tomatoes. they don't have pickles, even if you ask. they don't have mustard, even if you ask. the fries aren't really fries, they're somewhere between string fries and potato chips and very very greasy. just not good enough to go back.
(1)Karen S.
My boyfriend and I have been to this restaurant 3 times in the past few months and the food has always been really good. The services is nothing to brag about, but it is not horrible either. The place is clean and we have been seated and served within reasonable time even though we have arrived all three times during busy dinner hours. Our overall experiences has been good, but the food is definitely the reason why we have come back.
(4)Tiana F.
yummy! appetizer: $12 calamari. pretty good. best were accompanying sauces. we housed it. hubby had carne asada steak meal for $9.99 and comes with 3 nice sized strips of meat, 3 plantains, and rice. I had the lobster and filet mignon tacos for $14.99. 2 tacos: 1 with lobster and other with meat. delicious but should be accompanied by chips for that price. 20 beers on draft! didn't have dessert but will definitely return to indulge on extra calories. service was excellent. ambiance is chill and good music. i don't give it a 5 b/c we ordered above with a $5 light corona and bill was $50...really?...a bit much, but we will return. they have a great menu and those burgers are amazeballs if I remember correctly from truck visits.
(4)Kristine B.
OMG. Amazing! Best nachos (Sneaky with vaca frita) ever and my "French" burger was to die for!
(5)Vanessa S.
Hi my name is Vanessa and I am a Latin House Grill Stalker! It started innocently enough, another truck popped up on the scene with their signature dishes and elusive parking tactics. But it is now officially an addictions. Tonight I craved the cheesy yumminess that is a Latin House Chimi and when I opted to have it grilled instead of fried my trying to be healthy fat kid eyes lit up at first bite. I fought hard to resist the chocolatey balls even though the aroma and look of them was taunting me. Alas, I have left them - they will be devoured on another day because I will definitely be eating here again.
(4)Alison A.
I absolutely love the food here. Great selection and quality. The only downside for me is their version of curly fries. I find that they are too thin, get cold and unpleasant to eat very quickly. I just prefer to have actual fries with my burger. That being said, the muffin tops are to die for. If you haven't tried this place out, GO
(3)Alina R.
I went to a mini food truck gathering at the Alpha & Omega church and the aroma from this truck was calling my name. Wow, those burgers were good. I had the little mini version of their Madlove burger and it was insanely yummy. They have some SUPER spicy dipping sauces for those who want to add some extra heat. I wanted to try the Flaton but since I was sharing with someone we agreed on these, and I wasn't disappointed. If you're faced with several food trucks and can't choose, you won't go wrong here.

I didn't know about this place until I saw a Groupon for it. So before buying it I read the reviews and looked at their menu. Everything looked appealing so I went ahead and purchased 1 voucher. We went on Sunday evening for dinner and I must say for a Sunday night it had a lot of people in it. Surprisingly enough one of the parties that was there just so happens to be one of our close friends. He was there with his wife and two kids, he quickly said he loved Latin House.... "good tasting food." So after hearing that from him we were both excited to try it out. For our appetizer we ordered the Fire House Shrimp & Steak; it was an A+. For our entrees we ordered a Spinach Chicken / Calamari Salad and a Fish/FireHouseShrimp Salad. The Spinach salad had good taste BUT it was drenched in their special dressing. Grossed me out really so I just ate the chicken and calamari. I would've told the staff to fix it but I didn't want to wait because I was pretty hungry. The other salad was actually pretty good except that it could have used more protein. I would go back but next time I'll go for lunch and try one of their famous burgers or tacos. On another note, since I see there are some complaints about the staff, we were fortunate enough that the staff that night was great with us. Very friendly and attentive, can't say one negative thing about them.

Chimi Burrito Wednesday night at Cigar Lover's on 83rd and bird was amazing!! I was so looking forward to having one and finally a night dedicated to the Chimi! Now you can pick what you want in it and oh I did, ribeye, rice, cheese, grilled mushrooms/onions and plantains. All the good stuff rolled up then fried to perfection. Great crowd of people the service was excellent as always. It was a little slow but it was cause someone ordered 10 Chimi's before us so we had to wait but so worth it. See ya next Chimi Burrito Wednesday @ Cigar Lovers!
(5)Tony L.
The place was cool but the leather in the booths was broken and the table had a leg shorter than the rest and the glass was held togethet by a piece of tape. The food was really oily and practically laying in a soup of oil and grease. The staff was rushing me the whole time. Will never go back. HORRIBLE!!
(1)Alicia T.
I won't reiterate everything everyone has already said regarding the food, my review is for the actual restaurant opening up soon. I attended a soft opening/charity event for friends and family last weekend and even though I didn't try much of the food, my rating is strictly for customer service. I have been to all kinds of pricey 5* restaurants in Miami and the service in this place was seriously impeccable and flawless. For a minute I felt like I was not in Miami at all. Did Chef Ramsey himself train these freaking people? It was almost like they had been on a reality show called "Server Survivor Bootcamp" where if they weren't on point or attentive they were voted off the restaurant. From the moment you hit the door, the hostess opened it, and the service never dropped from there. It seemed like there had to be at least 50 staff members dedicated to this event and they all ran around like they were waiting on the president of the United States. No request was too big, annoying, or couldn't be answered after a quick run to management. A server was even super kind when he had to kick us out for overstaying our welcome at a much needed table when others were waiting to be served (everything was tips and donations that night). We were glad to leave and allow others to experience great service. I hope they keep it up. The burger I had was awesome and delicious of course (you can read all the other reviews for that) but I'm definitely coming back to try all of the other items on the menu. I had never tried their food truck before so they definitely have a new fan (especially since I just read the description of that filthy named dessert, I'll be back just to try that!).
(4)Ed C.
Great place, good food. Go and try it...
(4)Janet S.
I've been dying to come here ever since I read the review on burgerbeast.com . Burger beast never lets us down! This place was delicious! We had the sneaky nachos, which were great however I fell in in love with my Puffy Flatton! It was so perfect I wanted to marry it! My boyfriend had the Chimi Burrito. At first I was envious of his choice but mine was so good I got over it really quick! Bottom line... DELICIOUS!
(5)Sherman H.
I've been here three times. The chimis were really delicious. Depending on who is working, there are different sauces available. Staff is always friendly, despite the fact they work in a people oven. I tried the muffin tops during the Wynwood Art Walk and frankly, was disappointed. It didn't live up to my previous food experiences. If I go back and it's great, I'll upgrade to a five. Otherwise, for lack of consistency a three and I will continue trying other food trucks. The food is not as cheap as you'd expect from a food truck, but they seem to use really good quality ingredients. And the other food trucks I've tried have had the same price ranges.
(4)Gary B.
After experiencing the quality of their food via their food trucks, I was really excited to be able to sit down in their restaurant and see what they could do with all that kitchen space. Unfortunately for it's fans, the restaurant is a huge let down... I'm a firm believer in first impressions and thus was probably the case with my experience when I first entered on Mothers Day. I walk in with a party of 3, and was actually pleased to see that we had beat the lunch rush because the restaurant was probably at 50% capacity. We were greeted by the host, only to be informed that we would have to wait about 30-45 minutes to be seated. He explained that there were reservations already made (understandable) and the available tables were for those reservations. So I took a seat by the front door and took a look at the special "Mothers Day Menu". I understand the reasoning for this, but when you're a fresh restaurant, people are still coming in to experience what it is that you offer. By limiting patrons choices, you're not really showing what you're all about. *Strike 1* As my party and I were waiting (probably about 15 minutes by now) I couldn't help but to notice that every time someone opened the main door, it would slam shut with a really awful bang. It may sound menial to you at first, but after waiting for 15 minutes with that repetitive sound right next to your ear(bang! bang! bang!) it becomes really bothersome. Twenty minutes had passed now and I had yet to see any of these "reservations" arrive, so I made mention to the host. He said, "We'll seat you in about 5-10 minutes." Those 5-10 minutes quickly turned into 15-20 and it took us about 35-40 minutes to be seated at a restaurant that was at 50% capacity. (By the way, during the time we were waiting, not ONE of those reservations arrived....????) *Strike 2* We sat down, quickly ordered (because we had 30+ minutes to stew over the menu) and waited for our order to come out... this is what put me over the top with this place. A waiter came out with one of the plates (Taco Trio) and placed it down on the table. After 5 minutes with NO OTHER PLATES from our order coming out, I decided to point out to the waitress that took our order that we were still missing 2/3rds of our order. Ten minutes after the first plate was brought out, the remainder of our order arrived.... when the first plate was already cold. *Strike 3* The actually quality of the plates were ordered were average at best. The dessert; however, (a brownie covered in dough) was pretty good. By the way, forgot to make mention that our waitress actually spilled half of my plate on my jeans when she was picking up the finished plates. Did I get an apology or a napkin even?? NOPE! In conclusion, my recommendation is to go elsewhere with your business until they have this whole "restaraunt" thing figured out.

This is one of the first food trucks I tried when before the craze started and I just keep going back for more. My only complaint is that now that they've gotten so popular there is usually a long wait. But I can't say that will stop me from going. I'm a big fan of the French Slider with brie, honey, and almonds. It's a total foodgasm. The sneaky nachos and the chimiburrito are among my other faves. And if you like spicy stuff Chef Michele always has a few of his own special sauces like a mango-habanero and a spicy chutney.
(4)Janina A.
I don't understand the recent negative reviews. I went today with my groupon and I had an excellent experience, yet again. We were told there would be a 30-45 minute wait and we were seated in less than that. Our waiter was awesome! He even brought me a sample of the Angry Orchard hard cider to try..which I loved! Our appetizers came out quick and so did our food. Everything was delicious and the fries were definitely not as salty as the last time we went. Some yelpers say they couldn't get ketchup. I asked for ketchup and got it. In a little condiment cup, not in a spoon. As far as the price, I do not think it is expensive as some other reviews state. It's average pricing for a restaurant. I would say its the same price range as a large chain like Red Lobster or Fridays and the food is MUCH better. I don't see how someone can complain about the price. Try getting a large meal at Mcdonalds...its close to $10 for poison disguised as crappy food! If you don't like the prices on the menu just follow them on facebook..they post specials all the time.

The food is fantastic, the owners are amazing, the restaurant is fun! Run don't walk!

This place is great. I had the Steak Chimi and let me tell you it was fantastic. It has fried plantains inside. Hello! I went with the family and two of us had Mexican while the other two had burgers. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. The service is also great and the place is really nice inside. Looks like a great local spot to have some beers with friends on the weekend. We went on a Sunday and they had the Dolphins game on. Need I say more? Next time I go I'm having a burger. They look sooooo good. Oh yeah, and their beer selection is excellent.
(4)Marlene S.
The guava & cheese burger was great ! The Mexican to die for! The tostadas delish! The big burger 1/2 was awesome! They took a little long to bring out the food. They can use a little ambiance like sheer shades on the windows do you don't see the shipping plaza parking lot. The bar is beautiful , the music nice and the art on the wall is amazing!the tostadas were fantastic too! I had Carne adada and shrimp
(5)Christy H.
As far as food i would give them four stars. BUT if you are hungry or in a hurry do NOT come here. Service was terrible and the owners wife was extremely unprofessional! Never going back there again. We waited 2 HOURS for our food. When we complained we weretold we were not the main priority that evening because there was a larger party obviously giving them more business. The owners wife (beba) or whatever her name is came over and said it was normal for customers to wait 30 min for their food on a busy night. When we told her we had been waiting almost two hours she said she was going to check to see what time we actually placed our order according to the ticket. I guess we looked like liars. She never came back or even acknowledged that we were right. She never appologized. NOTHING. I will never be eting here again. We took our father out to dinner here. Had reservations at 8pm and left the restaurant at 11pm! Im sorry to say, no matter how good your food is, there are way better places with much friendlier service. This is why start up restaurants like this dont last. I'll spend my money elsewhere

Let me start off by saying our server named Junior was awesome. We were greeted right away. and he made some awesome suggestion. My boyfriend and I went there originally wanting to try their tacos. However, on my first visit with the help of Junior's suggestions, we started off with the regular sneaky nachos and a lobster bisque served in a bread bowl. The nachos were huge for a regular size so I can't imagine how big the large would be. Its a meal by itself. For the main course, I had the international muffin tops (which are pretty much a little bigger than a slider_ 1 for 5.99 or 2 for 10.99) I wanted one sweet and one savory burger so I chose the American[cheese and bacon] and French [brie cheese, sliced almond and honey]. If you are one to like it rare or medium be sure to let the server know because all burgers are cooked medium well. My kids had the chicken rice bowl from the kids menu. It was served with the tangled love and yellow rice. I must say that it was very tasty. We were so full, we didn't have room for dessert. so....... We came back two days later to eat there again. We had Junior again as our server. I wanted to save room for dessert this time. So I didn't order any appetizer. Junior suggested that I try the Masitas. Delicious. It's pretty much a puffy shell with whatever choice of protein you desire. I chose the ribeye and carna asada. I didn't care too much for the ribeye, but the carna asada was flavorful and juicy. My boyfriend had the unlimited taco special for 17.99 per person. (no sharing, no doggy bag, dine in only) This time I had enough room for the dessert. I originally wanted to try the "balls to the wall" but my boyfriend don't care for chocolate so I ordered the cheesecake ball. So I didn't enjoy the dessert as much as I wanted to because I don't really care for cheesecake. so next time, I will try the "balls to the wall" As far as I know on Tuesday are Kids night, Wednesdays are Wine-It-Down, and Thursdays are Karaoke Night. SO FAR, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOOD HERE. Junior hasn't steered us wrong yet. By the way, ask for him. You won't regret it. =)

I moved back 1yr ago from San Francisco where the food truck craze is worlds ahead of what we have here in Miami. But if Food trucks taste this damn good then we have a bright future on our hands!! I've been following another food truck in town that has some delicious fish tacos but I finally stumbled across these guys through twitter. We ordered the Rib-eye Flatton and the chicken tacos! As it was my first time there I let the owner suggest what I should eat and he suggested this bad boy! filled with 3 cheeses, grilled onion and mushrooms, rib-eye and pico de gallo this thing is like a giant food orgasm of flavor! And to top of off they had about 5 different sauces to pour on but they were bit spicy for my taste buds except for the avocado lime sauce and the traditional "crema" sauce. The chicken tacos were good but not excellent! Maybe its because that Flatton threw me in for a spin! The owner was nice enough to let me try the coconut shrimp taco which was topped with fresh pico de gallo and that was phenomenal!! Like someone said in another review the stuff is like crack!! I cant wait to "stalk" them some more. Oh and they take credit-debit cards which is AWESOME!!
(5)Hector M.
My first thought about Latin House Grill was immediately that it's the best burger from a food truck I've had in Miami so far (I've frequented Latin Burger and Yellow Submarine, and tried Gastropod once.) The patty was the best part - chuck and brisket. The chefs say they grind it themselves, and I'm inclined to believe it - it's an incredibly juicy patty and full of flavor. The toppings are nothing to be sneezed at either - the potato comfit and the mango habanero sauce are especially delicious. The burger was just as delicious the second time I tried it. The only thing sort of lacking is the bun - it doesn't hold up well to all the sauces, and gets kind of soggy. Other great things are the sneaky nachos - although next time I'll order them without meat because it made them too heavy -- and the PUFFY TACOS. Definitely a must-try; "puffy" because they deep fry the tortillas, making them puff up but still stay soft. This is NOT a gross chalupa, it's much much better.
(4)Jose B.
Great service !! The owners brother in-law told me about the place so i went there last night the wife and I had a burger and tacos they were delicious 1
(5)Raulito P.
Ok so I will try to keep this one simple. 1) Best burger in Miami! 2) Several micro beers on tap! Full bar also. 3) A desert with chocolate, wrapped in cookie dough, deep fried, topped off with condensed milk and powdered sugar. 4) A personal plus - seconds from home! Latin House is a must.
(5)Jousep S.
Food: Delicious. Service: So-So. Time it took to bring food: Too Long. Things I didn't like: No Ketchup for fries and Pricey. MAD LOVE burger was awesome. I will still go, but they better have their A-game, plus I'm a LHG Stalker.
(4)Andrea G.
Hands down to one of the best restaurants in Miami. A very successful business story which started with a simple food truck! You guys rock and have the BEST FOOD in town!! Delicious
(5)Laura A.
Burgers were perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful...imaginatively prepared and presented. The Sweedos desert is excellent!! The beer and wine menu looked cool. Good atmosphere and look to the place. Service was fine. Looking forward to returning to try more.
(3)Juan R.
Excellent food, You need to try the Steak ChimiBurrito which is a Burrito slightly fried with a lot of flavor. Also the Burgers are excellent. The only thing i don't like its that every time i get utensils they don't give you a knive, i don't understand the logic behind it but when you are using a fork you need a Knive.
(4)John B.
The waiters just don't care.. Maybe Chef S does better in the truck.
(1)Sam P.
Gotta preface this review by saying that I went to school in Philly where there was a very developed food cart/truck network, so I have been really excited by seeing businesses like LHG and Jefe's. So I went to LHG on 89th and Bird on Tuesday night with my mom - I've been facebook stalking these guys for quite a while now and was pretty excited to try their grub. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience but was disappointed with the food. That said, LHG definitely has potential. We tried three things: the burger, a chicken flatton, and carne asada tacos. The burger was probably my least favorite of the three. We ordered it medium rare (mistake?) and the meat was kind of mushy. Nice toppings, but felt too heavy and greasy. Came with seasoned fries because they were having issues with their cooking oil and couldn't get the curly fries right - the fries had good flavor but lacked crunch (see aforementioned oil issue). The chicken flatton was tasty, but didn't knock my socks off. It also felt heavy and greasy...could have used more pico de gallo to offset the chicken and cheese. My mom also complained that the flatton and the burger were too salty. The carne asada tacos were delicious. Very fresh and simple flavors. Tasty. The two sauces, cilantro jalapeno and habanero mango, were excellent. Especially liked the mango sauce - had plenty of heat too! I have to say....a lot of the pictures I see on here look like glamor shots compared to the food I received. Not that mine was unappetizing...but it definitely didn't look as good as these pictures would indicate. We didn't get any avocado, either, although the menu said most items come with it - so that was also disappointing. All that negativity aside, LHG has potential. I want to go back and try their cabo wabo fish tacos - they sound great. The man who operates the truck (unfortunately I didn't get his name) has a lot of love and passion for his business and that definitely comes through (and is much appreciated!!! keep it up, bro!). He was super attentive and answered our many questions with contagious enthusiasm. I think that with more practice and finesse, LHG could be a cornerstone of the Miami mobile culinary scene.
(3)Alex R.
Sorry Latin house, I'm done with the love affair. It seems like each time I go, the service and wait time is getting worst. On this last visit we walk in and there was About 7 empty tables and we had to wait over 20 minutes to sit down. We were the only ones waiting. Next another 20 minutes for waiter to take order. After he takes order he informs us the kitchen is backed up over 40 minutes. At this point we are over 45 minutes in so we decided to stick it out. Well the food easily took about an hour to come out. Like always the food was great. But the bad service, or lack there of service and the horrible wait time has brought you down to one star.
(1)Michael M.
We loved this place. We wanted to find a place where we could bring our 2 dogs while visiting my mom in Kendall. Found this place using my Yelp app on my smartphone. And we are glad we did. Sitting outside at a table on the covered sidewalk a young biy walked up to pet our dogs. We started talking to the boy and found out his parents were the owners. He sat with us and kept us entertained throughout our dinner. What an incredible little ambassador thi young man was. Not olny did we enjoy his company, but when the food came, it was nothing short of a true culinary treat. We will definitely be back.
(4)nick n.
everything on the menu sounds amazing, but it isn't. it all tastes and smells the same, which is terrible. bonus points for having some veggie options. negative bonus points for that scam noodles and shredded potato cop out they give you instead of making real fries. at least they have a few decent beers.
(2)Frances P.
Super yummy! Great beers!
(4)Kenny W.
I remember the first time I ate at their food truck over a year ago. Ever since I've been hooked and loyal to the death. The Chimi burrito is my personal favorite, I get it probably 99% of the time. That's how amazing it is and how willing am I to show up often just for one item on the menu, that says a lot about them. Staff is really nice and they do care about their guests. It's always my first choice when I go out to eat and I would consider it my "hang out" spot. I will go there until the day I die.....too good to resist.

Love this place! So happy I don't have to drive around looking for their food truck anymore. What a great location for their restaurant, and such a nice atmosphere. Try the flatton or the nachos, always amazing.

I love, love the food at Latin House, we live very close to the restaurant and eat there often. The quality of the food is high and so delicious. However, the service is hit or miss, sometimes faster than others. The staff is very friendly but the place definately could use some organization in the kitchen and the speed of the food comming out to the tables. PLEASE BE NICE TO THE HOSTESS SHE IS MY DAUGHTER !!!! Thank you, and BTW, i love the weird fries that come with the burgers, the chuchi bowl is the BEST !!!

Really good food, but poor service...not sure if I'll be back with my husband and family. We were there on a Sunday and the restaurant was not even packed. There were tables unseated, but yet we had to wait 10 minutes to sit down. Our order for appetizers took 15 mins to come out, and our meals took about 45 minutes. The manager never approached our table to apologize. We also saw several people leave after wating too long for a waiter.

This place is delicious! Everything was good. If you get the tacos make sure one of them is fish. Our waiter Willie recommended we try the frita burger and it was really good, especially if you like a little sweet flavor in your burger. I would definitely check this place out if you haven't already.

My boyfriend recommended this place. I was a little weary because it was in a strip mall. No biggie since there are many great dives to be found. :) The decor here is slightly tacky. But then again these owners come from a food truck business so why worry about decor! The service was a tad slow but again they just have to get their act together. We had the sangria which was refreshing and tasty! Ok good start. We had the famous burgers with the fried egg on top! Served with home made fries. OMG is all I can say! The burger was juicy, savory, scrumptious, yummy. So many more adjectives I can use. We then had dessert! The heavenly Balls to the Wall. Oreos wrapped in a glazed donut and deep fried in dough! With a sauce on top! FOODGASM ALERT! This is one of the best desserts that I have ever tasted. Lets just say that we left stuffed but satisfied! If you don't care about great decor and ambiance but want really good, delicious food, this is the place for you! We will be going back! I can't wait to try their stuffed burritos! YUM
(4)D.F. B.
The entire menu is great! But the ChimiBurrito is a MUST!! All the love that Chef M and his team has for their customers (also affectionately known as Stalkers) is rolled up into this masterpiece!! You will NOT be disappointed!

I was a bit hesitant to visit this place because they are primarily known for their good food truck food. However, I took the advice of my cousin and went this past Saturday. I made the crucial mistake of ordering the mushroom topper burger because I thought it was the regular size. So I ordered the Italian burger which was on point except for the size. I spent 10 minutes looking at the guy next to me devour a regular sized burger while my mouth watered. Much to my displeasure I was quickly brought to reality when the burger I was given was proportioned well if you are the size of an ant. Other than that I believe they need to have a larger selection and some unsweet tea...Everyone has that! I will visit this place again and I will make sure I order the burger according to size!

Great spot. The queso fondue was delicious and the tacos superb. We sat at the bar for dinner and craft beers, Yani the bartender was very friendly and made good beer recommendations. We'll be back!

Food trucks are all the rage, but this one takes the cake! Visited Latin House Grill last night and was very pleasantly surprised. The "flatton" was wonderful, the meat tender and best of all where the string fries. The sauces are fantastic, if you are in the mood for a bit of spice try the habanero sauce. We also tried the chicken tacos and they were very good.
(4)Ana P.
I went yesterday and thought the food was good, not great BUT was completely shocked at their "10 % gratuity on take out and to-go orders" are you kidding me? Gratuity for what-cooking the food? Thats an insult and I'll never go back again.

Beyond disappointed!! Came to eat here today with my family because of race reviews from my father. I was excited to hear that this place was once. Food truck because honestly as a chef myself some if the. Best and most creative food comes from food trucks. We got to the restaurant around 3:40 and w were told that there was a 30 minute wait. Being a Sunday afternoon I wasn't surprised. We gladly waited to the side for our party of 7 to be sat. After 15 mins I went inside to escape the mosquito's and heat and saw that several tables were empty and the outside was full of patrons waiting. This did not sit well but I decided to assume that maybe they were short staffed. While we were waiting we looked at the menus and determined what we were eating as we were in a time crunch since we had a birthday party to attend at 5. We finally sat down a little after 4 and were greeted kindly by our waitress. She took our drink order and food order and since we had 2 small kids I asked that their food be brought out first since they were starving. Our order was simple... 3 orders of the tacos with steak and no avocados, to puffy burgers as they come and a kids chicken nuggets and a kids rice and chicken. Our drinks came pretty promptly, but that was about it. We finally got our food at 5:47, after watching every other table be sat, order, eat and leave. At this point I was beyond upset and our waitress wouldn't even look at us. As a matter of fact the manager (a husky woman counting drawers who I assumed was the manager) standing only a few feet away wouldn't even look at us. After the first 30 mins we watched several confused servers bring the wrong food from Table to table and patron to patron Asking whether they ordered it. I assume after a plate of nachos was declined by every table as we saw (clearly a mishap by the kitchen) the cold nachos were brought to our table and offered as complimentary. We accepted because we were starving, and I'm happy because our food took an additional 40 mins. Finally my father walked up to the manager and told her we've been waiting over and hour and were starving, to which she shrugged and said it was coming out soon. At no point did she even go in the kitchen. Even for a food truck this is poor etiquette. Finally our food arrived and my tacos were too salty and cold. At this point the waiter my dad previously had and raved about, Willy, came over and we expressed our dismay. He arrogantly replied, "but the food is really good so it makes up for everything" I'm sure that's real cute, but not when I've been waiting over an hour for tacos! He then gave us the excuse that they got a new fryer that takes longer to cook, and that the place is always busy and something about Guy Fieri.... I told him Yes, the food is good but not good enough for me to wait all that time and that we should have been told from the beginning. I told him I'm a chef and went to school for hospitality and culinary and have worked in all sorts of establishments and the manager at least comes to speak with the guests. His smart ass response was "well if you went to school then you know it's not the servers fault it's the kitchen !" Sorry, I don't see how you can be so rude to a disgruntled guest and honestly to think the food will make up for the HORRIBLE experience then he is sadly mistaken! And to top it all off the place is OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED!!!!!! $14 for steak tacos that are too salty and cold!!! If I could give this place no stars I would have! I will never go back and I will discourage as many people as possible to not bother with this headache. To get to a restaurant at 3:40 and leave at 6 is ridiculous.

Give it up to LHG for taking an old idea, the roach coach and turning it into the standard for today's food truck craze. I had the Madlove Burger with all the toppings and their new Habanero Mango sauce...Awesome! The burger was big and juicy, even though I asked for it medium-rare and it came medium. I guess since we were the first one's to order, Chef M was prepping the kitchen and left the burger on just a little too long. No worries, it was still amazing. It came with Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, caramelized onions, avocado and homemade Brioche buns made that morning. Of course, it was topped with the best crispy string fries ever. The Habanero Mango sauce had a nice kick to it but not too hot to over power the other flavors of the burger. My wife had the ChimiBurrito. It came with yellow rice, maduros, fried egg, carne asada with the flakiest crust on a burrito I've ever seen. Although my wife liked it, half way through she noticed that it was the wrong order. She asked for no egg and it came with an egg. Also, she asked for the sauce on the inside and there was no sauce. She also noticed that there was a pool of grease at the bottom of the plate that looked like a mixture from the oil of the cheeses had filtered through the yellow rice. Again, we think because we were the first ones to order, either she got someone else's ChimiBurrito or the order was misread. She also thought it could have had a little more carne asada. Either way, it was still very tasty. Next time my wife isn't going to play around, she's ordering the Madlove! About LHG - Friendly service, great prices, clean and organized kitchen. And to Chef M and the rest of the gang, keep doing what you're doing! Add two more "Food Stalkers" to your list!!!

Can I say WOW! The burgers, appetizers, and staff were wonderful. I say come hungry( I say to that to almost all restaurants) but this one takes the cake!!! Brace yourselfs into Euphoria!!! I went with my parents, son and we were starving. Ordered the nachos with vaca frita and the regular size portion we were unable to finish. Then can the burgers...need I say more.. We all ordered the International Muffin Tops 2@ 10.99. The initial thought; these burgers will not fill us up. We were wrong. I had the Cuban and the French, if you like sweet stuff then these are your burgers. While the rest of my family had the Swiss and the Original. We were all in burger heaven. I will definately return- next time I wont order the appetizer so I can eat the tasy burgers!
(5)Eddy M.
Fantastic food! This place looks like a high end swanky NY restaurant. The servers are extremely helpful and the menu is filled with delicious items that range from Calamari to a French Brie burger, and a butt load of Mexican dishes. Great beer selection, try the Angry Orchid Hard Cider, goes great with the food. The food won't let you down!
(5)David B.
Food was typical bar/pub food except way over priced. Service was very slow. Had to request sides that were supposed to come with my meal. Asked waitress for my side and she was like "0h you wanted that." Took 2 times to finally get it. Our server was almost on automatic. Thankfully no attitude. Thankfully we had a coupon, but there will be no next time. Just to expensive for what they are offering.

These new age, eclectic takes on ethnic cuisines are confounding. These trendy hipster places, indicating mass gentrification, are spreading all over Miami and it's both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand, they're a complete bastardization of true original delights. They're not real food in the ethnic sense of the word. For instance, real Mexican food is on a whole other tier of deliciousness beyond this food. However, these places are undeniably tasty and it's good to have some creative variety: even if the whole thing feels overly artsy and fake. What concerns me is how many naive people will come in here thinking that this is real Mexican food, or worse, what if they think it's BETTER than real Mexican food without even having tried real Mexican food? I've seen examples of both cases and those people are irritating and naive. This place mixes Mexican concepts with American ones, Cuban, and European. It's really a hodgepodge mix of everything a hipster would want to throw into a meal. Is it spectacular? Hardly. Real tacos al pastor from Mexico are spectacular. Is it good? Certainly. The best thing I tried here was definitely the taqueria calle tacos. It's a selection of 4 different tacos from the following choices of "protein" as these hipsters call it: Cilantro-Lime Chicken, Veggie, Chorizo, Cabo Wabo, Ribeye Steak, Calamari, Carne Asada, Vaca Frita, and Fire House Shrimp. These are definitely not authentic Mexican choices, but they are all tasty nonetheless. I decided to try 1 with lime chicken, 1 with chorizo, 1 with ribeye steak, and 1 with vaca frita. They were all extremely tasty. They are each adorned with pico de gallo, a hipster inspired "avocado lime sauce", and crema fresca. Tortilla quality was above reproach and the presentation was beautiful. This 11.99 assortment of tacos will not fill the average grown man, however. They're tiny. I also tried a bite of the Chimi burrito which was bigger than any burrito I've seen and with a completely new age tortilla that defies description. It's definitely crunchy and fried, yet not as heavy and greasy as it looks. The stuff inside the vegetarian burrito was out of this world good. That may be the other best thing I've had there. I also tried 2 different sliders: the french one with bleu cheese, almonds, and honey and the western with jalepeno pepper jack cheese, beer battered onion rings, and BBQ sauce. The western was far better than the French, which was too sweet and heavy for my taste.

Theres nothing better than this truck!!!!! One of the owners and head chef, Michelle, is a very nice, honest and genuine individual. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and interested in how his customers experience their food. He works there with his wife. We went on a Friday night and ordered Sneaky Nachos and the special of any 3 mini-burgers with fries and a drink. Omg, best mini-burgers of my LIFE. Burger options are Mexican, Italian, French, American, Swiss, Bulgarian, and I think one more. The French comes with honey, almonds and brie. (The best one!!) The Italian has some sun dried tomatoes and the Bulgarian has jalapenos. FYI: for the hot sauce lovers out there, they have a habanero-mango hot sauce that will knock your socks off it's so hot (seriously, be careful.) Excellent customer service. Amazing food. Enjoyable experience. My favorite food truck. PERIOD. Totally worth tracking on twitter.

I had read the review for LHG on Burger Beasts site, and luckily they were in my area for lunch. Drove out, and there was a small crowd when I arrived. Took about 10 minutes to order and get food. I ordered the puffy ribeye flatton with extra pico de gallo. It was spectacular! I slathered that bad boy with the mango habañero and crema sauce. It was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. The gourmet sliders looked delicious. I will try those next time. On a side note, there was some entertainment provided free of charge by the sauce area. Some yuppie was not using the proper technique to apply the mango habañero sauce to his meal. He was squeezing the bottle when the nozzle was clogged with a piece of habañero. He squeezed so hard the whole thing exploded, taking him and an innocent bystander out in a wave of habañero fury! They were both drenched and looked in pain from the sauce getting in their eyes! It was classic!

Coming from the best food truck, it is now one of the best restaurants in Miami. I went to the food truck for the first time in September of 2010 and became an avid stalker since then. Now with the restaurant, which is 5 minutes away from my house, I am able to go any day I want. I have been to this restaurant at least 30 times without exaggeration. It is incredible. Love everything they have on the menu. They serve the best burgers you will ever eat anywhere. Each Mad Love burger is made with, you guessed it... Mad Love, along with anything else on the menu. One of my favorite things to eat is the Chimi Burrito, stuffed with jumbo flour tortilla, rice, three types of cheeses, and maduros, which you can have with the protein of your choice (vaca frita, ribeye, carne asada, chicken, shrimp, etc). The Chimi is huge and always gets me full. Sometimes I even save the other half for later. For dessert, I always get the Balls to the Wall that come in two and are chocolate filled with condensed milk. Amazing. Even better if you get it with ice cream. They have a great selection of beer and wine also. The service has been great every time I go. Always receive my food in good time. At the busiest hour with a full house (like during a heat game), I have waited at the most about an hour to get my food, which is understandable. During quieter times, I usually receive my food in around 15 minutes. Also, they are still under their SOFT opening. When they finally have their GRAND opening, it is going to be even better. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Why didn't we come here sooner? Between the two of us, we got the chimi burrito and the original 1/2 pound burger. HOLY S*^^# they were both damn good. The fried cheesecake ball just could not be avoided - that went down very quickly as well. Only minor quibble was the service. Started out great (our entrees were served in 10 minutes) - however, after devouring our meal it took 20 min for him to come back and take our dessert order [even though he knew we were interested in the cheesecake] and then another 15-20min to prepare the dessert. He tried to give me the "Oh well they make it fresh and the cheesecake has to be scooped out and flash fried yada yada" - but come on, it's not a soufflé. I'd still give it all 5 stars - food was awesome and we'll definitely be back.
(5)Karla M.
Was hesitant to try this place but I'm glad I did. We got seated right away. The food came fast and it was delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I had the Carne asada tacos and they were amazing! I will definitely come back.
(4)Ceci S.
My fiance and I tried LHG after reading such great reviews and we are happy we did! It was very tasty, delicious and you can tell the food is made with love. I had the puffy flatton with churrasco and my fiance had the chimi burrito with rib eye, we are definitely going back to try some of their other goodies.
(5)Maria P.

(5)eglys h.
can not find the true words to describe this wonderful experience my palate has had!!! you can not go wrong with anything from this food truck... lets start with the service:: amazing with a smile and quick - everyone is wonderful - from the young lady who took our order, to the cook when told to cook mines a bit more (like it well done) to the Magic Hand Man in window who threw on the final touches on my sliders.... tonite hubby & i were on a mission to final try their actual food. in the past we have had the churros with teasers and we knew we had to try food!! we went with the special being offered of the 2 sliders (any one from their off the wall menu - The Cuban a burger with Guava & cheese?? really?next time for sure!) tonite we went with the French - a muffin top burger topped with BRIE MELTED CHEESE, HONEY (YES THE DELICIOUS SWEET STUFF) and ALMONDS!! lets say my mouth went into a blast of happiness, mouthwatering, finger licking frenzy!!! once i bit into this slider it felt like walking on a culinary cloud nine!!! you could taste each individual flavor and then how each made each other be a movie star!!! the melted brie cheese hugged the hole burger patty like a warm gooey blanket, drizzled with sweet honey which was an amazing enhancement for the cheese and the almonds on top was the crunchy finally to wrap this small wonder into a scrupcious delicacy!! we then chose the Italian slider as our second. this too was on a muffin top bun topped with provolone cheese melted and then delicious toppings went on such as pepperoni sliced thin fresh julienned basil and a sauce!!! VIVA ITALIA! it was just as amazing as the first!!! the deal provides for various options. we had 2 sliders, fries (which were also good) and 1 coke for $10. - not bad at all. we will be keeping up with the food truck and look forward to the new and upcoming combinations we were told about - like a Greek slider!!!!! all food is done with not only amazing ingredients, but with care and love!!!! how the continue to do as well as they are and continue to provide us with amazing goodies!!
(5)Alex P.
So I ended up going last night to try the Fish Tacos. I went there with a rather large order for the fam, and one specific request from my wife: She wanted to try the Fish Taco too. So I ordered two of them. The cook insisted we try the Fish taco there so he could see our reaction. Needless to say, we had to order another two, the first two weren't leaving that parking area! Amazing flavor, and extremely fresh, but then again so is all of the food there! The mini sliders and chimiburrito were sublime! And the deserts.. WOW!!! I'm not a big sweets person, but the "balls to the wall" were out of hand!!! This was my second visit to LHG, but definitely not my last! Keep up the fantastic work!
(5)Christopher G.
Great Truck great variety of food and yummy! highly recommed them. other trucks were good too, except one friend got bad diarrhea from eating at Havana Rice truck ,which was "arroz con Pollo a la chorrera" why he ate that is beyond me, why would anyone eat that from a food truck .so many other better choices, why get full on a cheap food, I only eat this at home or when someone invites me over to their home. all the other trucks we tried were awsome and worth the trip!
(5)Liana M.
I've seen Latin House Grill around a lot, but didn't try them until Thursday night at Tropical Park. My friend and I both ordered the Shrimp Taco box which came with 3 shrimp tacos and tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese. It cost $13, but let me tell you, the flavor was amazing on those tacos! It must be the sauces they use; I think there were two different kinds. There was this creamy lime flavor that just hit the spot, every time. I would have loved if they did something more with their "nachos" though. I'm not a fan of nacho cheese. If they sprinkled a little bit of cheddar on warm baked chips and maybe included some salsa, I'd be a happy camper.

I was so excited to try this place as the reviews made it sound amazing. I was in town with my family for a cruise. We got to the restaurant around 8:45 pm on a Friday night. Miami Heat game was on so I expected a little wait. We only waited for about 10 minutes for a table. So took our drink order which was just a few waters. After we finally decided what we wanted the waiter took our appetizer, and main dish order. After about 20 to 30 minutes the waiter came out and told us they were out of the appetizer we ordered. So we decided on another and he said OK. We waited another 20 minutes and the waiter came back and said it would be right out because were were the next in line so to speak. Mind you we saw many other people getting food in the meantime. So finally he came back again and said they were really backed up and it would be another half a hour for the appetizer. So the manager or part-owner came and got us the appetizer out right away and "on the house". We asked for our burgers to be made to-go, because we had somewhere to go. After eating about half of the appetizer, which was quite tasty, the waiter came out and asked us if we wanted our burgers to-go and we said yes we all ready told the other lady this. We also mentioned we did not want to wait another hour for them. The part-owner was in the area and she said she would go check. She then came and said it would be probably more then 15 minutes. We just told them no and up and left. How would this food take another 15 minutes to get to us after we had all ready been in there about a hour and a half since we put the food order in and other people were getting their food. I understand this restaurant was only open 3 weeks, but they should think of going back to the truck. I was so excited to try this place, but waited all most 2 hours to get some nachos for free, because we all ready waited too long. No food is this good where you have to wait that long. If we are ever back in town we will not come back to this place. The place we tried the night before was a 100 times better and faster. It was called Pincho Factory Inc.

New Year's Day boredom and hunger led me to this food truck. They were serving a new menu item, the Thick W, which is "a Jumbo Thick Kosher Hot Dog on brioche bun, topped w lots of LOVE, fries and a drink" ($10). Also the muffin top burgers which are "mini" burgers. I put the mini in quotations because biting these burgers took quite an effort from how tall they are. Both of these items were extremely delicious although I felt that they were a bit expensive. I would make this a regular lunch spot were it not for the price but this will not stop me from coming. I just won't come on a regular basis though. More like a once a month thing. If you have never come to a food truck, this is a really relax and chill atmosphere. You order your food, sit down and talk while you wait for it and get to meet new people if you want. Its a change from the constant sit down restaurants that I really enjoy. My favorite part of the meal was the Balls to the Walls which is brownie dipped in funnel cake and fried dipped in condensed milk. This was probably top 3 in desserts for me. I wish I could explain how good it is but words escape me. I plan to return and try some more menu items next time. I just wish they would lower the prices a bit.

This was my second time there. First time, I was only able to have mashed potatoes and lobster bisque and both were great. Went back only to be disappointed by the greasy food. Their signature Mad Love Burger was oozing with oil and the chorizo flutton not spectacular. I must admit, the waiter did recommend the flutton with rib eye but I thought it was more like a pizza with chorizo sprinkled on top and it is more like a chalupa. The desert took forever to get to the table although it was delicious. The waiter was too efficient...border line rude...when filling my daughter's water glass he literally pulled it out of her hand while she was drinking the water!!!! I agree with a previous comment, that they seem somewhat unorganized. When we went the first time, they had run out of ice cream by 7:00PM on a Friday evening. The carne asada tacos, the lobster lollipops, lobster bisque and mashed potatoes were outstanding.

Best food truck in Miami. My personal favorite. Delicious food,, and great people run this truck.
(5)Vladimir I.
This is one of the best. I have been a fan since they had their food truck. I use to drive all around miami to eat from them. Now that they have their own place i can go any time. You can't go wronf with anything on the menu. The Burgers are fantastic (Cuban favorite & mad lov). The chimi is also great and of course the fish tacos.
(5)Tony P.
i love this place soooo much !!!1
(5)Jenaia F.
Just had my first food truck experience and it was a GREAT one, I'm happy to report. Both the fish taco & carne asada taco were to die for ... Absolutely delicious!! Just say YES to the pico de gallo and insane hot sauce... you won't regret it. Guess I'm officially a "stalker"!!!!
(5)Sun S.
We ordered a burger (original) & the vaca Frita burrito. The burger was awesome & juicy! The burrito tasted great too. For dessert, ordered the "elephant ears/ice cream/cheese cake" it was delicious! It is actually called something else but I forgot.
(5)Joe C.
Ok here it is ... first off come hungry the portions are plentiful. Now the trick is to follow them on Facebook so you can keep up with location and menu items. Chef M is a great guy with a real heart of gold ... he's always smiling.. I would recommend them any chance I get!

Tried going back to Latin House after about a year or so. After seeing them on DDD on Food Network I figured it was worth another shot. Latin House Grill did not disappoint. A little warning however, if you are on a diet or looking to eat healthy try avoiding this place. The temptation for the fattier and more delicious foods is rampant! To start we ordered as an appetizer the Pig Wings. They were delicious and seasoned well. And the meat fell right off the bone. I don't normally eat a lot of red meat but couldn't pass up the chance for one of their famous burgers. The best way to go is definitely the muffin top which allows you to select "mini" 1/4 burgers from their selection. I picked the Mexican and French. Both although very different in taste flavor profiles were delicious. The meat was seasoned well and cooked perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh. My boyfriend ordered the Chimi Burrito with the vaca frita. He loved it! The meat (which I had tried on my last visit on top of Nachos) was tender, seasoned well and went perfectly with the ingredients in the burrito. It was a large portion which he was able to take home and heat the next day. He said it was still delicious. For dessert we took the recommendations of other Yelpers and ordered the Balls to the Wall. While great in concept, the whole execution fell flat. The fried dough we burnt in certain places and the chocolate inside so hot you couldn't eat it right away. I also felt that because it was burnt and dry it should have brought more leche condensada on the side. Overall not a bad experience and definitely a place I will add more to the rotation on "cheat meal" days.

I have given this place two chances. Make that three if you count the one time I ordered take out. The first time, the service was slow and the food was average. It had just opened for business and the transition from food truck to restaurant has to be daunting. About two months later, I ordered take out. When I got home, the order was missing all the sides that come with it. Essentially, they forgot to give me half the food I paid for. A call to the manager yielded a promise to "make it up" to me next time if I reminded him. Today, its been over a year. Service is still horrible. There are plenty of employees but most seem to be running around aimlessly. Although there were seven empty tables, we were asked to wait because they did not have sufficient menus to meet the demand. At some point in time, two employees walked into each other resulting in the spillage of a glass of water all over a patron and its subsequent shattering as it hit the floor. The young man who was asked to clean the mess, watched the football game and listened to music through headphones as he attempted to mop the floor. (Note: It is not good business practice to allow employees to wear earphones while working in the service industry.) While our server was quite attentive, she was the exception. She, herself, seemed frustrated with the turn of events. As for the food, I have to agree with other reviews. There seems to be one key spice or ingredient that is used in most of the dishes; thus, the result is the same basic flavor regardless of what you order. And, while I am not positive, I have a suspicion that it contains lots of MSG. This review is not meant to disparage the restaurant but to state facts that may lead constructive changes.
(2)Jessica S.
I hadn't tried Latin House Grill because of the mixed reviews. I finally decided to go with my fiancé and we both agreed the food was amazing. We decided to order two different meals to share. We had a frita burger and a chimi burrito with vaca frita. The frita has a delicious guava ketchup and the burrito has plantains that just made it so perfect. Both were so good, I'm wishing I was having some again. They're big portions so sharing is a good idea if you don't want to be overstuffed. The service was great, our orders came out in good time. I'm not sure why so many people have complained so much. Don't let the bad reviews stop you from going, we definitely waited too long to try it.
(4)Jose V.
Got the most expensive thing on the menu. burger beast 18.99 for 1 pound burger.If you cant even cook a burger to medium rare as i requested then your cook sucks nothing more to it. Mentioned it to the waiter he said sorry and thats that. They suck and the kitchen food sucks...

If you want horrible service, go here ! Don't even know why I have this place a second shot. Had to et up and leave.
(2)Billy B.
Honestly was very suprised, been here when they first opened and the food was much better. The burgers sounded much better in the menu then what they tasted. Ordered a desert and took about 1 1/2 to come out. Very disappointed, used to love their food truck

Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. Chips and guac were on point. My chimi burrito was huge, had it with the ribeye and it was excellent. Didn't have to wait longer either which was a huge plus.

LHG is located in a little shopping plaza on Sunset and 94th, right next to my 2nd love after Misha's cupcakes, Sweetness Bake Shop. So, if you come here, expect to have a very gluttonous dinner/dessert combo (unless, you're the kind of person who can say NO to cupcakes - I'm just not that strong willed.) Anywho, my friend suggested we come here after she saw it featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." I can dig that. Guy F. seems to know what he's talking about. He likes things with a lot of cheese on them, and so do I. He is trustworthy in my book. I ordered the chicken Taqueria Calle Tacos before they let me know that I could mix-n-match em', so I ended up with the chicken, carne asada, pulled pork and breaded fish. Each and every taco was very flavorful and topped with an awesome avocado cream sauce (seemed like a kind of avocado/garlic mayo - YUM). The servers were very attentive and there were a bunch of TV's to catch the Heat game on during dinner.

Had the Frita burger for the 2nd time and it was just as amazing as the 1st time. Also had the desert "balls to the wall" and was perfect to end the lunch. Definitely coming back!
(4)Michelle M.
Loved them when they open. Now so disappointed in the food and the price! They should consider lowering the price and improving in the services
(1)Shawn B.
Burgers were great but took an hour and 15 minutes to get them! Waiter kept saying "Customers don't understand that they're made to order and we get a little backed up during weekends." We don't want to hear that! Burgers were great, customer service and wait times with make me think twice about coming here again.
(2)Alexa C.
The food is amazing here. I have yet to try something that isn't amazing here. The service is great and the ambiance is nice. It's a little pricey but it's worth it!
(5)Ivette R.
Latin House is great but my only complaint is that they masked the food to big but whatever u don't have to eat the whole entire thing I love the burgers
(4)Shavonne R.
Food was ok, I checked this place out because of triple d . I had the white sangrÃa, carné asadas [very stronge onion flavor] , butterfly shimp[ best thing I had at this restaurant] which was sweet and savory and chicken flaton. Chicken lacked flavor. The owner need to place more staff, it took along time for orders to come out and it was obvious that they were under staffed
(3)Mia D.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a restaurant has a lunch menu and the waiter gives you a regular menu. I asked my waiter if there was a smaller portion of tacos, and he said no - that I had to get four tacos. After several questions back and forth, he finally told me there was a lunch portion, after I asked for it. We also ordered two kids meals, which were Tiny and pricey ($7.99). I guess their baby burger would work for a four year old, but my 11 year old left hungry. Bottom line: this place serves good food, but it's quite pricey for what it is.
(2)Andy D.
Maybe it's me, but it sure seems like the waitstaff has a lot of down time. The restaurant is full, but the staff seems largely inattentive. The bartender has a "why am I working here" attitude, and another bartender, she doesn't know if she should drink behind the bar or in front of it. It was food that I complained about when I ate at the truck so very long time ago, now it was service. It was not that the I was never served, I was it's just that bartenders are the ambassadors of the industry, a bad bartender, and it's like going to the dentist, you'd rather be some place else. From appearance management was as bad as employee's and they didn't have a grip on standards. I did come across a friendly bartender, he used words like "Good Choice" and "Can I Help You" positive words, asking me if I liked my meal. I was happy my pretty little bartender was away even if it was temporary. The food was exceptional, five "fu%$en" stars. I ordered the Masitas, they sure did look like Tostadas, but what ever you name it, they were excellent. I wanted to order more, but since the bar was the gathering point for the employee's, I burned out and needed to go. Now would I go back............... The food was good, but I'd sit at a table, the bar lacks professionalism.

Is there a way to give less than 1 star? I haven't left a review in a while, nor have I felt more compelled to do so this time... I consider myself a burger junkie and make sure to hit some of the top rated burgers in every city I go. I decided to try this place out and boy was a blown away. About how bad it was. Atmosphere was average, service was average, but all of that was overlooked by just how awful the food was. I decided to get their classic "award-winning" burger and one bite in I realized it was the worst mistake of my life. It was, without exaggeration, the absolute worst burger and meal that I have ordered in any eating institution. I mean, honestly, ever. As my wife was saying how terrible her meal was, I asked her to try my burger. It took just 1 bite for her to realize exactly was I was experiencing, sheer straight terribleness. I don't know if the cook was having a bad night and demolished both of our dishes, but I can safely say I'll never step foot near this place again. The sangria was good.

Visited this place last week while vacationing in Miami. My family and I thought we'd give the place a try after watching it on diners drive-ins and dives since the food looked so delicious. We were not disappointed! We ordered the mango habanero wings for starters which were quite spicy but very flavorful. For mains we got the chimi burrito, which was good but a little bland, the rice bowl with chicken which was amazing, some of the best rice I've had, the Cuban burger which had a sweet kick to it and the nachos which were by far the best thing we ordered! It was layered with lots of cheese and chicken, simply delicious! By the time dessert came around we were way too stuffed to order anything else since the portions were quite big. I would give this place 5 stars if the service wasn't so slow but regardless was a place worth trying. Make sure to order all your food and drinks at once so you don't have to keep asking the waiter to come around, and then waiting for them to help you out. I'll be sure to visit if I'm in the Miami area again!

I decided to try this place after purchasing a groupon. I am glad I didn't read the reviews prior to doing so, or I might have not done so due to comments on the service. Our service started out a little slow, but overall was decent. Our waitress, who had only been working there a few weeks, was awesome! She made great recommendations, and checked on us a few times after the meal was served. Our groupon was $28 and included 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 2 glasses of wine or beer. We started out with a cheesy fondue that had huge chunks of Carne Asada in it! OMG..it was heavenly! If I were at home, I would have licked the bowl clean! This appetizer was huge (lots of meat) and could easily serve 3 people! We also ordered two glasses of Moscato. The portion was generous and it was chilled to perfection. This Moscato was very tasty! For our entrees, we ordered the tacos (4) and the chimi burrito with carne asada. Our waitress let us know we could order different types of tacos if we wanted to, so we got 2 fish, 1 shrimp, and 1 steak. When the food arrived I was in shock! The portions were huge and the presentation fabulous! The fish and steak tacos were my favorite. The burrito was so big, I could barely finish one half of it. I ended up taking home the other half. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and wanted to try dessert, but didn't have any room for it. Next time, I plan to share an entree so I can save space for dessert! For those complaining about the price, I don't think they are overpriced at all. They use good quality ingredients and are generous with their portions. Everything we ordered had lots of "protein". With the groupon, we spent $40 (tip included). Without the groupon, we would have spent $58+$12 for tip. I don't think $35 per person is unreasonable for a complete meal and alcohol. I definitely plan to return.

My mouth was having a party of it's own here. Starting with the sangria... OMG, so good that you begin to chug it like it's juice, 3 glasses down and I had the famous vacafrita burrito, holy Jesus so good, deff enough for 2 to share, if your nice, then ended the meal with balls to the wall.... Let's just say my mouth, tummy, and mind rolled out if the place like it just visited the food gods. This was my first time coming to the restaurant, I'll be coming back FORSURE!
(5)Rasheed N.
I'm more in the 4.5 range for Latin House. Went for the first time last weekend, and it was absolutely delicious. The selection of beers is really good as well as their sangria. We had the nachos with chicken as our choice of protein and they were phenomenal. Definitely recommend them as an appetizer. Though I warn you, they are HUGE! I had their burger (American-style). Loved the juiciness in the meat and veggies added. The bacon was alright, however. The "fries" that come with the burger are really good, I think I got a salty batch though. Overall, the meal was very satisfying.
(4)Alex A.
Food is good which is what really counts. The burgers are really good and the fish tacos are just as good. Now for the service. The servers are grata but the kitchen is real SLOW!! Last 2 times I have been here we waited anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. That's just along of time for a burger. Even then they got the order wrong. Pretty crazy. Overall not a bad place.

I have been craving Mexican food since I left San Diego this past April. After reading all the raving reviews, I came here to give it a shot. I have driven by here plenty of times, but for some reason never realized it was here. The restaurant has an open layout with a sizeable bar area and a few TVs spread out evenly across the bar. Place was lively with a few large parties having a good time. I waited to be seated but after seeing no hostess I just went to the bar. Took a while before I was noticed, even though the bar only had 2 people. I got a menu and it had a lot of great items that I would normally consider, but today I was on a mission for tacos. They had a pretty wide variety of meats you could choose for your 4 tacos (I think about 10 choices). I went with chicken, carne asada, carnitas, and vaca frita. Then I waited, and waited, and waited some more. It took about 40 minutes to bring out 4 tacos, and my server never came around to check on me. Another waitress came by after awhile and asked if I had ordered, then refilled my water. When I finally got my food, I was ready to dig in. The presentation was nice, as each taco had lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and a cilantro cream sauce that was decoratively setup. I tried the chicken taco first, then the vaca frita, next the carnitas, and finally the carne asada. All of the tacos were delicious. My favorites were the chicken and carnitas tacos. They tasted fresh and clean - not like something that was reheated or using substandard ingredients. However, I wouldn't consider this Mexican food. It is a good interpretation and tasty, but it doesn't have the authentic feel or taste. I have been searching for that taste of Mexico I had in San Diego that every taco shop over there has, to no avail. I will have to keep looking. No knock on this place though. I will come back to try some of more of the menu, I would have given 4 stars, but the service was too slow.
(3)Scarlet M.
Amazing food, and although busy the service was good. Our server informed us the kitchen was busy but we got all our food fairly quickly. Tried the fried cheese squares with yummy guava sauce, the nachos with carne asada and the wings! Definitely a must try.

It's pretty rare for a Food Truck to make it to Brick & Mortar status especially in Miami where you can be the hottest place one day & yesterdays news the next. I was genuinely happy to hear someone succesfully made the leap. I decided to give this place a try after hearing people talk about it & due to a fairly decent Yelp rep. We went on a Friday evening so there was a wait of about 30 mins which is completely understandable & expected when a place is popular. We gave our name to the nice hostess outside & took a seat outside until our name was called. About 25 mins later I heard my name so with empty stomachs & high hopes we went inside. The restaurant has a style of it's own but unfortunately we were seated in the one spot which set the tone for the rest of the evening. If you walk in to the right there are two booths up against the glass, they are super dark as they are the only spots void of any light & pretty far from anything. It almost leaves you feeling like you are an outsider within the restaurant. Our server came by & dropped off some menus & took our drink order. She told me they had Coke but later on I found on the menu that it's a special in house type soda with real sugar instead of HFCS which should be an awesome selling point worth mentioning. No harm done as it was pretty good when I could track my server down & actually get refills. We went with the Asian Pig Ribs app I believe they were called. 2 of them were fall off the bone great as described but one was super tough & overcooked. We mentioned this to our server (when she was around) & she sort of apologized but that was about it. We both ordered our main courses shortly after placing the appetizer order but for some reason the food was taking forever! I understand it's a busy evening but as we watched the other tables being served their dishes in a timely manner it seemed as if ours was forgotten. We couldn't get our servers attention as she was giving all of said attention to a party of 8 nearby who's food was served & completely eaten before ours even came out. Our server stopped by to tell us the app had been comped & the main course should be out any minute now... (15 mins later) we had reached our breaking point. We walked up to the bar counter & asked to speak to a manager & were given a real blah attitude with a lack of urgency. Just then, our server walks out with our food but it's way too late at this point we just want to pay our check, speak to the manager & leave. A manager did eventually come to speak to us & we voiced our reasons for being upset but he too wasn't really that interested. This is where our bad experience was redeemed. The Chef/Owner stepped out from the kitchen area to come see what happened. We explained to him how long we were waiting, how we barely ever saw our server, & he was shocked to hear the manager didn't stop by to apologize for the bad appetizer. He gave his sincere apologies & explained how the staff is going through some growing pains & that he is working on it. I voiced my unhappiness with the area we were sat in & he genuinely appeared to care about improving that section. I can understand his situation where he was always face to face with his customers in the food truck. Now, he is in the back cooking & has to trust his staff to give the level of customer service he would offer. He was very generous with us comping our food & offered us to come back & give his place another shot. He insisted we give the food a try so we took our orders to go. After eating them, we both agreed the food was flavorful & cooked with quality ingredients. I think this place deserves a second chance but I might just go with take out next time so I can avoid the staff until the owner can iron out the kinks in the level of service. What started off as a nice night went bad then was redeemed thanks to an owner who genuinely cares about giving his customers a great dining experience.

After arriving at the restaurant and placing our order we waited more than 45 minutes to have the food brought to the table. When speaking to the manager she advised that the reason for the delay was A: There was a "large" party (party of 8) and B: She has a small kitchen. Yet the restaurant was nowhere near full capacity.The staff looks lost and the manager extremely disrespectful. The food items are not adequately priced; truth be told the food is sub par. I give this restaurant two thumbs down and don't plan going back.

I saw the report that a local tv station gave on this guys and was impressed enough to make the drive from the beach. Yelped it and thanks to Gaby B. I took the chance and confirmed that they are worth it. Tuesday tacos is the best way to introduce yourself into this joint! I had the carnitas, Cabo Wabo fish, Chicken and had to settle for the veggie since they ran out of ribeye, but still delicious. Had the red Sangria, despite not having traditional fruits, it still was impressive enough for two glasses!!Finished it off with their signature balls to the walls dessert. I'm not a sweets person, especially when I had to only settle for four tacos and could have killed four more, but wow for this dessert!!! Oh yes Tuesday tacos are $2 ea. so will be heading back for the savings, cool fun environment. Staff and management were friends and attentive. Buen provecho!!!
(4)Sebas V.
I love this place, only been there twice, had the black and blue burger once and the burrito another time, loved it both times! The portions are huge!!! Almost forgot the nachos are fantastic! Only thing I didn't like my first time there was the di they had, I felt the music was way to loud I like it better when they have a chill laid back day.
(5)Vanessa B.
Amazingggggg! My favorite restaurant everrrr! The service was on point even when busy. I have yet to have something on the menu that I don't like! balls off the wall are my favorite
(5)Dwade C.
Didn't know about this place and accidentally had lunch here today.. Needless to say this was a great accident, very impressed with the food, everything tasted so good. We had the chimi burritos and a rice bowl, mind blowing!! The place itself is very unique.. I highly recommend this place..
(5)Daniel M.
Really Really enjpyed this place. Been waiting forever to pass by and try the burgers and tacos, and finally tried it yesterday. Saw the chef/owner greating and talking to guest and to burgerbeast's family. Looked real friendly and inviting. The restaurant design is decorated as if it should belong in the wynwood area with hanging lights and art painted on the walls. But so glad this is a Kendall gem. I went on Taco Tuesday $2 tacos. I wish I had room to try the mini burgers or an actual burger, but there is always next time. The tacos of chicken lime and carne asada were my favorite. My friend had the fish and said it was great (see pics). One of my favorite taco places now in Miami, if not my favorite! We started off with timba. YUMMMM I wish they served more, but anyways its fried queso blanco with guava sauce for those who don't know. So good and the texture and taste delish! As stated, we had the tacos which were devine! Also had their "award winning" sangria (few glasses) which was also great. And we ended with balls to the wall cake batter covered brownies with sugar powder and leche condesada dipping sauce. AMAZINGBALLS! Will definitely come back and try other menus items like the famous chimi burrito and award winning burgers. A little overpriced fr appetizers/burgers/and tacos but def try to go on a specials night like Tuesdays or Wednesdays (half off apps,wine,etc oh and pork sliders)

Holy Burrito Batman!! So, like many people, we saw the episode of DDD that featured Latin House and since we were going to be in Miami for the day, we knew this was the place we had to try for dinner. Many times you will see food on a show like this or even just a commercial and then you order at the restaurant only to find it looks or tastes nothing like you expected. LUCKILY, that was NOT the case with Latin House. We ordered the Chimi Burrito, the Pig Wings and the Original Burger. Each of them were equally delicious. The Chimi Burrito was ridiculously big! My husband, who can usually eat a small farm animal, had trouble finishing it. Of course that didn't stop us from diving into the Sweedos, which were like little Thai donuts, but with much more flavor. We had ours with ice cream, of course, which made them even more insanely good. Our waiter, who super friendly and helped us make decisions, recommended the "Balls to the Wall" which was the same dessert, only with little chocolate brownies inside. We were afraid that would just put us over the edge. All in all, fantastic food, really great service and nice atmosphere. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the location. But, truly worth the drive!!
(5)Rick P.
Tried this place due to reviews and seeing on Diners Drive in & DivesArrivef at 5:15 PM ordered the special burgers. Burgers finally got to our tsble st 6:13PM barely warm, my burger didn't have the grilled onions or mushrooms that I ordered. Manager deducted the price of my burger, but that still doesn't rescue a horrible experience. I won't be back!!'
(1)Sonia C.
I love this place. I had the pleasure to meet the chef & owner (wonderful person) and went on opening day. The food was incredible & price was right. Definitely letting my friends know about this restaurant. Cant wait to go again soon.
(5)Oscar F.
Awesome burgers but have to agree with everyone else horrible service. Oh...and don't bother ordering online to avoid waiting an hour for 2 burgers because when you get there you come to find out that they don't check for online orders incoming...hire people that focus on there job -_-
(3)Alicia B.
So far everything here is amazing. The lettuce wraps are the best in the world, carne asada and chicken ones yummy. The burgers are phenomenal. This place cooks with amazing flavor and the staff is great. Great lunch spot with a menu that has variety. Beware though the service is a little slow which is why the 4 stars instead of 5
(4)Ivonne D.
By far one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The burgers are the best burgers you will ever have!! Its all in the flavor of the meat. Delicious!! The sangria is awesome too sometimes we buy it in a gallon to drink at home. The nachos and the fondue cheese appetizer is to die for. It's definently not the place to go on a diet but it's the best place for the most delicious burger you will ever have.
(5)Silvia V.
Service is always exceptional, food is amazing, sangria is unbelievable. I have nothing bad to say about Latin House. It's always enjoyable and I always leave satisfied. Definitely five star!
(5)Faby P.
We used to be regulars back in the pre-baby days. We haven't been back in a while due to the constantly crappy service, particularly the eternal wait for food which doesn't really pair well when dining out with a little one. We decided to try our luck today during lunch and sadly, nothing has changed. We ordered my daughter's food the minute we sat down along with water. Her food came out pretty fast (praise the heavens!), however, the calamari appetizer took about 30 minutes. Side note: calamari appetizer was inedibly horrible. Skimpy, teeny pieces of calamari hidden in thick nuggets of super salty breading... It was pretty disgusting to be completely honest. After not finishing that disastrous joke of a dish we waited another 30 min (an hour total now) for a burrito and 4 measly tacos. It's not like I asked them to bake me a cake. An hour for this kind of dish is unacceptable. There were maybe 10 occupied tables in the whole place and plenty of staff standing around. I have no idea what these people are thinking but it's been what, 2 years since they have been open and they can't get their service game in order? Ridiculous. Get your sh*t together, Latin House. Stamping Guy Fieri's ugly ass face on your door and menus may bring the crowds in but having service that's as good as your food (minus the calamari) is what will keep people coming back.
(2)Vanessa B.
5 STARS! AMAZING food... everything i have tried here is delicious... Ive been here several times... and everytime the service has been great. I love the Cuban muffin top... I love the Sneaky Nachos and i there are NO words for the Chimi Burrito! YUMMO!
(5)T B.
This is my second visit. First visit was amazing and I brought the rest of the family this time. I ordered the American with the 3 cheese and mushrooms the first time. That is what had me coming back to try more. This visit I had the Original with lettuce and was about to revisit the American, when Jayson (waiter) suggested the Elvis (PB&J and bananas burger). I was a little worried at first but................. OMGoodness!!!!!!! Burgers are juicy, fries are amazing. Walked in and was seated immediately both times. Food is a little pricey but I would do it again because it is worth it. I like the 1/4 burger (slider-like) option because it affords me the ability to try more than one burger. Ask for Jayson when you go. Love him (very knowledgeable and attentive). Will be going back soon.
(5)Juliette R.
Alright I've eaten at this place since before they had a restaurant (food trucks) they have best chicken quesadillas & awesome muffin tops (sliders) if your in the mood for chicken or beef and you don't want to spend to much this is the place to be.. Oh the service is great and they also have TVs to watch the game.. It's a great place to go with your friends and family and have a good meal. Oh don't forget to try the nachos they're great
(5)Alain M.
I love this place! Best and I do mean the BEST lettuce wraps I've ever had with Carne asada. Guy Fieri had this place on diners drives dives so you know it has to be good. I've heard the burgers are out of this world too even though I've never tried one. If you're in the area you can't go wrong stopping for lunch or dinner. The decor is very cool with artistic tattoo looking designs on the walls. Service is slow at least during lunch hours.
(4)Robert G.
Over rated...DDD finally let me down! The service was horrible and not only did our food not come out together, it took way too long! The burrito everyone raves about is nothing special, it's more like an overstuffed empanada. You add sweet plantains to anything and it will taste good so I wasn't impressed. Also ordered a burger medium and it came out dry and they forgot the avocado that comes with it. I'd rather go to 5 Guys for a good burger than give this place another chance. hear the tacos are good but after my subpar experience I am certain to never try it as I have many better options where I can expect good service and an efficient kitchen where I won't have to watch my wife eat while I wait for my food. They also need to hire a designer to decorate. I was very excited to finally venture from Brickell to Kendall after watching DDD and was utterly disappointed.
(2)Claire S.
Still looking for really good Mexican in this city, this place is pretty good but I'm going to keep looking. Had the sneaky nachos which had chorizo and they were pretty good. I also had a chimi burrito with ribeye, which was good but it sounded amazing and was just good so I was a little disappointed. Anyway its yummy but a bit on the pricey side for what you get.
(3)Daniella S.
I've been to Latin House a total of four times now and my verdict is always the same - Slightly overpriced, mediocre service and good, not great, food. Your best bet is to go on a week day during happy hour. The place is pretty empty at this time, so you don't have to worry about the endless wait for your check and prices are a little more reasonable. Food wise, I definitely recommend the nachos because whatever protein you decide to add always comes out fresh off the grill, and their muffin top burgers are not only available with a variety of creative toppings, but are also the perfect size. The French comes with brie and honey, and is my personal favorite! Their fries are also worth trying.
(3)Damarys C.
I had several of my Broward friends ask if I had ever been to this place since it's been featured on the food network and other tv shows. I finally tried it and it was great. The only small disappointment was the waiter who wasn't very informed. We ordered a sangria and loved it. It seemed like it had guava so we asked the waiter but he didn't know nor did he inquire. There were a couple of other things we asked that he wasn't sure about either. It was not a big deal breaker since he was nice, but I just expected him to have a little more knowledge about the food. This place is definitely worth a try the food is SPECTACULAR!
(4)Jan N.
Queso Fundido was amazing. And I tried their shrimp tacos - they were seriously delicious! The sauce, the batter... I wouldn't order anything else! So why the drop to three stars, you ask? The service. It's so slow! They really need to work on that. I was hoping that with time the service would improve, but we were just as dissatisfied as we were the first time we came here. It took like 20 minutes to get a side of fries. Seriously? My little one was about the have a meltdown! I also think the prices are a little steep. Other than that, though, the food is good. A little on the heavy side (couldn't eat here too often), but definitely tasty.
(3)Tere F.
Driving past this restaurant, I thought I need to try it. Guy Fiery came and ate here. It must be good. Boy was I wrong. Hostess insisted that we wait at the bar. There were 8 booths open. I threatened to leave, and we got seated. Waiter came fast. We order two quarter pound burgers. It took 50 mins to get our food. The tangles were soggy and disgusting. I asked for fresh ones and the waiter made feel uncomfortable. Questioning my palette. Burger was cold and not juicy for medium. Over all I have had better. If Gordan Ramsey still had his show, this place would be visited and featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Head over to McDonalds. It is cheaper, faster, and tastier.
(1)B G.
Hey, im giving this place 5 stars because when they are on they are ON! I have had some bad things come out of the kitchen from time to time, few over cooked burgers, a few mistakes and such but wow when the execute its on the money. Vaca frita nachos. Period. Eat some.
(5)Oscar C.
Wow!!! I am totally in love with this restaurant!!! The people here are so nice and the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Definitely one of the BEST Latin restaurants I have EVER been to!
(5)Jules V.
AMAZING!!!!! Chimi burrito is to die for and the sheer size and portion is... Well it's huge. I can never eat it all, which is great because I can take the rest home to enjoy it again as leftovers ;) great service and speedy. They have a nice vibe on their menu of tex mex but with a flare. Try it.
(5)Alexis S.
Food is awesome! So much to chose from. There sauces are to die! I've gone a few times and sometimes service is good and others not so good. I always return for their balls to the wall desert! Thumbs up!
(4)Anthony Q.
Very upset the fact it was advertised that Latin house grill was cooking up ostrich burgers from thurs - mon but when I asked the chef and waitress looked at me as if I was crazy. The only good thing there was the service the waitress gave me and tipped her greatly. Over all poor/ misleading advertisement not even the pines one had it. I will not be coming back here again anytime soon.

Excelent cuban food, the service also very good, very good choice for when you dont want to cook at home, the price for the food is good but the desserts are a bit pricey, generally I recommend this place

This place may be one of the most overrated restaurants in Miami. I mean, the burgers are delicious and they serve wine and everything, but the service leaves sooo much to be desired. I loved this place when it was a food truck and I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for a glass of water. So we waited 15 minutes for a glass of water (I hate that. Is it obvious?) and that was ok. I mean it sucks but whatever. I asked the waiter if they serve sliders, and he said yes. They do serve sliders (the Frita I had was amaze), but they serve ONE slider. Note to self and others reading this: order a 1/4 pound burger next time instead. The server was talking to a lady at the table next to us and instead of putting his carafe of water on that table, he plopped it right in the middle of ours and turned to help her. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's being attentive, but really? We're eating, bub. Sometimes, no matter how great the food is somewhere, if the service sucks, that's all you remember.

Let me start by saying... I've followed LHG for a long time now, dating back to when their food truck first started, and as much as it pains me to say it... It sucks now. No, not the food. The food is great... but there is no food that is above service and this place undoubtedly has the worst service in Miami. I wish I could say it's a one time thing but it's not. I have given them 4 different chances and have gone back every time, thinking that maybe they were having an off day. Every time i have gone back the service has been worse than the last time... and i know at least 10 people that have told me that they will not be going back because their service is so bad. And it's not just the kitchen, which is amazingly slow. It's everything. Every time I have gone and ordered any drink that isnt water, it's taken them 10-15 minutes to put the drink in a glass and bring it to me. I can handle waiting for food all day if I have a nice, cold beer in front of me but they cannot even make that happen. Really sad to see this place go to where it's gotten but it is what it is and i wont be going back. There's too much good food to be wasting time with this poorly run restaurant.

Visited the Pembroke Pines location, it's always pretty empty when I go but the food is always good and tastes fresh. Only complaint I have is that they took the chips off from the menu and replaced them with regular fries and I think their menu is a little over priced for the portions and type of food they serve.
(4)Rinel Alexander L.
Best food around and if you pick the right time!! No waiting!! Try the mango habanero sauce! But it's not for the faint of heart!!! The burghers are absolutely amazing and the burrito also! And for the big boys... That tomahawk!!!!

My husband had been asking for a while to go to this place and I finally caved (I don't much care for burgers or overly unhealthy foods) Much to my surprise they had a healthy menu option, which I was thrilled about. I chose the $15 carne asada, which turned out to be the worst idea ever. It was 3 strips of pure rubber with some green leafs on the side. It was beyond awful. I asked if they had some hot sauce, or something I could dip it in.. and they said "sure! but we have to charge you extra for it" You serve me garbage and then you charge me for your mango-habanero sauce? I flat out hate this place. Unless you are looking for strictly fried and over the top unhealthy food, do not come here. Do NOT offer a healthy menu if you will massacre the whole thing. La Fogata does carne asada for significantly less and much better. Seriously, even Fritanga Monimbo's carne asada beats the crap out of that disgustingly charred flap of meat. Give me a break. My husband ate his burger just fine. However, he eats most burgers just fine. Says nothing about this atrocity of a restaurant. PS: Felt the need to add that this place is REALLY overpriced for the type of food it is and to make matters worse they charge you for anything and everything!!! If they could charge you for the air you breathe inside their establishment they would. For that money, I rather hit up Shake Shack.

It's aite. No fries but more like house chips. Not bad. They're freshly made but nothing outstanding. Burger was supposed to be beef but tasted like chorizo. The grilled flatton was ok With decor and good flavor it feels like you're eating at a food truck. Not worth the restaurant prices or restaurant wait. Both times that we've been here we have been told that the kitchen was behind/running out of food. The place isn't large enough for that. Spend your money somewhere else. Best thing there is the chimi burrito. It's actually very good but not something id have regularly. Service isn't bad but it's not very professional. We were told by the hostess who looked like she was just hanging out that we'd wait 20-25. It was closer to an hour. There were several empty tables but they say the kitchen is too behind. The place is still being run like a food truck.
(2)Farah G.
Food is very good. Burgers are delicious. Street tacos are real good. Services lacks though and get ready to wait if you go on a weekend.
(4)Ashley S.
Underwhelming. Lobster "lollipops" are fine, but nothing to rave about. Service was absent. Like we rarely saw our sever.
(3)Ana M.
I totally retract what I had said about Latin House before. I went back because it's close and convenient. We were seated in the right hand side of the restaurant toward the back where they have nice booths, which is a nice little spot. This time, I ordered one Western muffin top and the lobster bisque. The burger was a lot better this time around. Just like I remembered it being from the food truck. It was juicy, flavorful and just excellent. Nothing like the experience I had last time. The tangled potatoes were good. Not my style usually but still very good. The lobster bisque was BOMB. It comes in a bread bowl and it was just great. We ended up getting dessert, too. We ordered the fried donuts with the condensed milk inside and they were great. One thing I loved was that we had been drinking beer and wine with our meal (Yeah, I had a beer and a soup. Don't judge me.) and when we ordered dessert, our server brought us all waters. That was really thoughtful and I wish it was done at more restaurants. The dessert was great. My friend ordered the Original burger and ate half of it, because that thing is the size of a plate and I took the other half home. Now, burgers and fries are the kind of thing that really don't keep very well as leftovers, but I microwaved it for a minute or 2 and that thing was DELICIOUS. I usually get the muffin tops because the burger is just so big, but it is so worth it. The cheeses, the bacon, the juicy meat. It might be one of the best burgers in Miami and this was a day old, refrigerated, and microwaved. I will definitely order that next time.

I went to Latin House at lunch time on a Saturday, and left with mixed feelings about the place. When I walked in, I noticed a sign reading, "Wait to be seated." The restaurant was almost empty, so I expected to be seated right away. I waited, and waited.... There were three staff members fooling with something at the cash register, and I waited... fooled with my phone, and waited... finally someone walked over with a menu. After being seated, I ordered an iced tea and perused the menu. Some of the classics from the Latin House Grill food truck were on the menu, but since I was familiar with them I elected to order "new" items. I ordered Crab and Corn Chowder in a bread bowl, Pig Wings and a combination appetizer that was "[something] shrimp and chunks." The iced tea arrived, and I gave the waiter my order, "checked in" and sipped some tea. Oops! Evidently "iced tea" here meant some sweetened concoction. I wish I'd been so informed ahead of time. I read numerous complaints online about the wait time for food, and indeed read a notice in the restaurant that all food was cooked to order and that takes time, but my food came out in a reasonable time. In fact, I asked for the chowder to come first, which it did, but the other items piled up before I got far into the chowder. The first flavor note on the chowder was the cilantro sprinkled on top. It was creamy, spicy and tasty, but didn't have much crab or corn noticeable in it. There was perhap a total of two tablespoons of solids. Perhaps a novice in the kitchen did not ladle it from the bottom of the pot? The shrimp and "chunks" was next. The chunks were tidbits of very tender grilled steak, with some accents of grilled threads of onion. This is a pretty mild dish, so if there is a spice-phobe in the group, it would be a good choice. The shrimp were either steamed or lightly sauteed, and were covered with a sauce reminiscent of Chinese restaurant sweet and sour sauce. It was reddish with bits of what I think was sweet red pepper. Pleasant, but not exciting. Separating the shrimp and steak was some lightly pickled shredded cabbage, and some slices of carrot and onion that were also pickled. A clean, fresh foil to the sauced and meaty tastes. Next were the pig wings! I've been seeing this cut of pork showing up around town. It's a new promotion of the rear-leg shank. It's a single bone about 4-5 inches long. The Latin House take on this is very tender on the inside (perhaps braised first?), and very crispy on the outside and sauced with an asian-style sauce that mostly tastes like hoisin sauce. I liked them, and my wife LOVED them. One order is three of them on top of a mountain of the house "Tangled Potatos" which are deep-fried spiral-cut potatoes. The potatos stayed crispy for a long time, surprisingly. The two appetizers plus soup and iced tea came to $37.50 with tax. Add a tip, and you're at $45.00. This was more food than I wanted for lunch, because a big dinner was in the offing, so I asked the waiter to pack up the two wings and the leftover shrimp to go. What I got for that request was a styrofoam box dumped on the table. That was a first for me. Maneuvering stuff into the box without serving utensils was annoying. I'll return to try some other menu items, but I left annoyed at the delay to be seated in an empty house, the sequencing of the food, the take-home incident, and either stinginess in the chowder or incompetent serving of it. Not to mention the iced tea. Every one of these was, or might have been, due to the wait staff.

Delicious Cuban burger. Beef tastes high quality. Good beer selection and the coca cola is excellent
(4)Raquel D.
I just visited the restaurant for the first time for lunch today. Things were so delicious back when there was a food truck, but wowie wow. The place looks great! I can definitely see myself coming back, possibly for $2 tacos on Tuesdays with some friends...... and also because I want to try all the beers! I had the puffly flatton with cabo wabo fish. Grilled onions, mushrooms, melty CHEEEEEESE... Oh. mah. gah. The reason why I didn't write my review immediately after eating there is because I was basically comatose when I got home. Siesta to the max. I was so deliciously stuffed that I just HAD to take a nap. Oooh! As per the server's suggestion, I also had their guacamole. Delicious! It tasted so fresh! Hints of lime, lots of cilantro, chunks of tomato and onion.... it was honestly the best guac ever, and I thank the server endlessly for suggesting it as an appetizer. Man. I'm having flashbacks to the yumminess now. I may have to make this flatton-and-guac-induced nap a regular thing. Excellent, extremely friendly service with lots of spot-on suggestions.... I'll be back again and again and again, no doubt!
(5)Luise T.
Asked for the fried cheese filled with guava which was $6.99. We were very excited about it. When the plate came it only had 5 small cubes of cheese and it was not filled with guava, it had a guava sauce next to it for dipping. A very disappointing dish and over priced for the portion size. The original burger was good, a bit greasy for my taste. My fiancé had the tacos and they weren't bad, we've had better. He asked for an extra side of fries and what he got was homemade potato chips which weren't that good. Over all the experience wasn't great. We had been wanting to go to this place and left very disappointed. Don't think we will be going back.
(2)Vince G.
Went with a large group and was impressed by all the food. The servings are huge and packed with flavor. The Vaca frita nachos are certainly a must have and the beer selection was pretty strong. This is a worthy stop if you're hungry in the southwest Miami area.
(4)Katy S.
Burger topped with egg? Yes please!!! It was super good. Balls to the walls dessert?? O.M.G!!! Seriously it's worth a visit to Latin House just for this dessert. The food does kind of take a while to come out but that's how you know it's fresh. The employees are a hit or miss. First time we had a female server...she was not very pleasant. The other time we came we had a male server...kinda chubby guy. He was great and super nice. Latin house..you rock.
(4)Virginia M.
SO EFFIN' GOOD! One of the most amazing burgers I have tried yet. I tried the MadLove Original Burger and talk about an orgasm in your mouth! Big, juicy, flavorful burger and that bacon- oh that bacon was do delicious! The combination of everything together made it something to be remembered and desired over and over again. Their Tangled Love Fries, super cute name but not the biggest fan. I think it's something to get used to...? I love to be able to dip my fries in ketchup or something other dip and with Tangled Love, you can't do that. It's a shame but it still adds something to the plating. The service was wonderful and even on a weekday lunch hour this place was pretty packed. Any single ladies out there? Do yourself a favor and come here for lunch hour. It seems that the fellas (In packs...think Jacob and his pack from Twilight... only I can't guarantee that level of hotness) like to get their burger on and I assume there's a whole lot more where that came from!
(5)Sunshine P.
We came here on a Sunday because my boyfriend was craving a burger, although I am not your absolute burger lover, I decided to have a burger today. The menus is pretty detailed and we both got the 'Original Burger' we went with the half pound because the waiter advised that the quarter pound would've been the size of a kids burger. I asked the waiter who was very nice if it came with "Fries", and she said yes. Well, the burger was HUGE my boyfriend and I could've shared it, we only ate half. The burgers were delicious but too big, and too greasy for my choice. The burgers do not come with FRENCH FRIES, they come with potato chips and that was very disappointing because I love french fries, and I believe all good burgers should be paired with delicious fries. If you want a nice, huge, juicy burger then this is your place. I only gave 4 stars because I felt that I didn't get informed well enough on what I was getting and too big of a burger. All around pretty good and nice place.
(4)Otty B.
Dislike. No recommend it.
(1)Rose P.
The food is über-fresh, it's incredible. Creative spins on traditional everyday foods is what makes this joint unique. I come here at least twice per month and each item on the menu is prepared as if it were the only item. Top-notch quality food, delicious flavors & textures, great service....awesome sangria....and Balls to the Wall desert? Lets just say I have hot dreams about them Balls! This his my top 5 favorite restaurant in Miami by far....
(5)Matthew L.
I've been a long term follower since their food truck days. They've got one of the best burgers and that's what I mainly go for. On peak nights(Fri-Sun) expect to wait quite some time to be seated (20-30 min) and get your food delivered (45-60min). In the past you would be able to sit at the bar and order from the menu but this has now changed that you can only order drinks and appetizers. Any who the food quality is great and fresh.
(3)Miri D.
My husband and I treated his parents for lunch on Father's Day. They were first-timers and loved the food. I got my usual chimi, which as always, was amazing to the very last bite. I went with carne asada instead of rib eye this time. I felt the carne asada was full of flavor, much better than the rib eye, in my opinion. Our waiter today was great. He was on top of things, by always coming over and checking on us and making sure we had refills. I will keep coming!
(5)Diego G.
We had the fried cheese with Guava, the original burger, the frita, and various tacos. The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert (brownie balls) didn't let us down either. A must try!
(5)Yay P.
Nice mix of burgers, beers, and Mexican for a good price...nice decor as well
(3)Victor A.
Great food and service. Definately one of the best burgers I've had in my life. Pricey but worth it in my opinion.
(4)Nicolás J.
I ate here last night for the first time with three other people and was pretty unimpressed (the other three in my party agreed). The service really was pretty good. The hostess and server were friendly, things came out in a pretty reasonable time. The nachos were very good (we had them with vaca frita). But if this place is about the burgers, it really did fall short. Our table had 4 burgers: two fritas, one Elvis and a fourth that I forget. The best word I can think of for the fries: obnoxious. They don't taste like much and, more importantly, are not fries. It's more of a heaping mound of potato chip crumbs. These might make a decent burger topping, but a side item they are not. This was an absolute consensus at our table, and from the look of the reviews here, we're not alone. We all also agreed that this place goes way over the top with the toppings. The frita burger had too much of that guava ketchup (which was also too sweet for our liking), and they went about 3 times too heavy on the peanut butter and jelly in the elvis burger. I'm all about going to a place for something overindulgent, but if I'm ordering a burger, I want to taste the meat first. When you have a layer of peanut butter almost as thick as the burger and there are globs of jelly coming out of your burger, it's just not fun anymore. Why is there jelly in an "Elvis" to begin with? I should have asked they leave it off. I wouldn't refuse to come back here if a friend wanted to go, but it would never occur to me to go back. There are too many other great options in the area.
(2)Thien H.
OMFG this place is not Latin Burger (@latinburger) the locally famous burger and taco truck! This is @latinhousegrill - totally different. I feel like a freakin' fool. We went here thinking that it was that Latin Burger and Taco everyone keeps talking about and were really confused when we were so disappointed with our experience. To make matters more confusing this restaurant had a food truck at one point. Other yelpers talked about how their truck food was so amazing on this page. So I thought, "Hey, the restaurant is probably just as good as the truck." Well, let me tell you it's not going to be "just as good" if it's the WRONG freaking company! This review is for Latin House and NOT Latin Burger and Taco, which I will seek out in the near future. I was disappointed by the burger and chimi. My friend was pleased with the burger. I had half of the burger and found a extremely weird texture to the beef. It had big, chewy chunks throughout the patty. At times, I felt like they had used that weird meat glue stuff to assemble their patties. It didn't even taste like beef. It was spongy and strange. I had half of the chimi (fried burrito) which was alright. It looked very impressive coming to the table. It was cut beautifully in half at a diagonal, unfortunately there was a substantial pool of oil at the bottom of the plate and there was much fried beef to be found in the chimi. It was mainly rice. Otherwise, it was tasty. A little pricey but much better than the burger. Service was attentive but our table was a little too close to the area where all the servers gather and gossip. Seeing the windex bottle on the bar placed an inch away from several water pitchers (pitchers that refill your water glasses) was not too appetizing. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is nice. I really like all the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.

My first time here... The people here are SO nice!!! Great menu, good drinks, plenty of TV's to watch NBA! Definitely coming back!!!

My siblings and I came here around 8pm on a Sunday night with a sweet tooth craving. I have had their burgers and the famous balls to the wall ( which is a deep fried brownie) so that is what we were desperately needing. The restaurant was fairly empty with less than a dozen patrons scattered throughout. We were seated promptly which was good, but we waited about 15 minutes before our server first came to see us. When he did arrive though, he was very helpful and friendly. And now for the food. We ordered the taqueria calle tacos ( one carne asada, one chicharrone, one bbq and one ribeye), balls to the wall, and the fried madagascar vanilla dough. The balls to the wall and fried madagascar vanilla dough were outstanding, perfect "sweet tooth craving" food. Make sure to get it with vanilla ice cream to balance out the chocolatey gooiness. Just writing about it makes me want to sink my teeth into fried chocolate heaven. Unfortunately, this is not where the review ends. The tacos that came were extremely sub-par. The pico de gallo was fresh, the tortillas were not bad and the sauces were okay, but each of the meats tasted like they were cooked in the morning. All the meats were dry, lacking flavor and chewy, except for the bbq one which I think was because the massive amount of bbq sauce masked the meat. I had better tacos at taco bell. So it took a long time to place our orders and the tacos were something I would serve my dog, but our waiter was nice (once he showed up) and the desserts were excellent. I have had their burgers from the food truck before and they were delicious, so next time I come here I will order what they are known for. I will be updating this review once I go back. *Best Dish - Balls to the wall*
(2)Giovanna C.
Ok. So I was kind of hesitant to go back, but I gotta say we all ad a great time this time around. It was a co worker's birthday and we went on a Wednesday during lunch time. The service was pretty great and the food was nothing less than AWESOME (Like always)!! Me & the birthday girl shared a rib eye chimi burrito and it was sooo good! :) We got our food within a timely manner and the owner even came by to say hello and introduce himself. We had a great time! They even comped the Birthday Balls!! I wouldn't hesitate to go back again, maybe this time during dinner. If you've had a bad experience before, give it another shot. I did and I WILL be coming back again!! Thanks LHG!!
(5)Valenina G.
Terrible service . I asked for a burger with no cheese , onions or mushrooms . Everything was still on there . I ask to remove the onions and mushrooms. The server has every single one of the toppings removed . We ask what happened to the toppings . He says I took it all off. We ask for the toppings back. He brings out bacon laid on a napkin and sets in on the table , we ask to bring the rest of them too, and he dashed away and wouldn't listen. Terrible.
(1)Baby Fark M.
Worst service in Miami. No joke; I called the other day 26 times to order pickup and no one picked up. So I ordered through Delivery Wow and they called me back and told me that no one was picking up, so they had to cancel my order. This was last Saturday afternoon. This weekend, i bit again. This time, they picked up and I placed my order. When I got there, there was a lady with her kid that was waiting to be seated. Despite half of the restaurant being empty, they told her, she'd have to wait because the other side of the restaurant was closed. Really? On a weekend, in the afternoon, you have a section of your restaurant closed? And you can't sit down a woman with a small child in one of the empty tables? Ridiculous. So, back to my order; when I placed my order, they told me it would be 35 minutes, tops. True to Latin House Grill form, my food was finally ready for pick up an hour and a half after I ordered it. Can you imagine why a half empty restaurant took an hour and a half to put together 2 meals? Me neither. Anyways, so when I was waiting for my food, i got to observe why their service is so bad... they constantly have drink orders from the servers and the servers then have to wait for someone else to put together those drink orders. Problem is that there is no full time bar tender. I don't understand why the servers cant just pour the drinks themselves or at least have a full time bar tender. The girlt that they had behind the bar that day was completely out of it. Someone ordered as espresso, and she literally, read order, pressed the button, and stood in front of it as the coffee brewed, instead of pouring a coke or a beer or something else. Amazingly horrible. While I was waiting for my order, there were people sending their food back, people who got the wrong orders, one lady's burger was overcooked and when they offered to make her another one, she said, there's no way I'm waiting another hour for a burger. This place has gone downhill fast. Horrible service by an incompetent staff. Food takes forever, drinks take forever. If you want to go spend a few hours at a place and wait forever for everything, go here. You wont see me there.
(1)Dominique C.
What a horrible experience!! 1- they were out of most of their beers. I ended up having to order water because they just didn't have any of their menu's beers that I Would like 2- they were out of the "mad love" How can a restaurant be out of their menu's main item? 3- the kitchen was so backed up that my simple order (a frita) took a whole hour. 4- considering my severe state of hunger, I ordered an item called "pig wings" which ended up being en epic fail! The Asian flavor just didn't mesh well with the type of rib cut they used. I took it back, just as I would at any other restaurant yet ended up having to pay for half of it.
(2)Annie G.
Waiting an hour for tacos is absurd when Tuesday night is their Taco Tuesday Special. What made the whole experience worse was when we called over the manger to point out that we had waited that long, instead of apologizing and offering us something, she made a poor excuse. And then I almost fell out of my seat when our waiter asked if we would like to see the desert menu. "Hell no" I wanted to get out of there... Tacos are not exactly fine dining and an hour and a half dinner for mediocre at best tacos is not my idea of grabbing a bite.
(1)Candice C.
I had the Madlove queso Fondu. Awesome. For my main course, chicken tostada. Double awesome. Plus they were really nice to my infant son. Definitely recommend!
(5)Erik F.
Food is ok but it's a bit overpriced in my opinion. They don't offer regular fries, they just offer some greasy boring thin fries that don't really taste like much. The appetizers are good just be careful what order because the more expensive the appetizer the less food you get. As far as dessert make sure to stop by sweetness bake shop on your way out.
(2)Vanessa P.
Went yesterday (Friday, March 7th) to this establishment. I arrived with my boyfriend at approximately 9p. We were greeted by the hostess at the door. One thing that sort of soured my first impression is that it smells like grease as soon as you walk in. I guess that can be a good thing (they're cooking the food fresh) or bad thing (who wants to smell grease upon walking in). We sat and looked over the menu to see what we wanted to try. I decided on the four taco entree (Taqueria Calle Tacos). I ordered 2 with fish tempura and 2 with the chicken. My boyfriend ordered the Masitas one with the rib eye and one with chicken. The service was on the slow side but I chalked it up to it being packed on a Friday night.The food arrived and it looked delicious. We dug in and enjoyed every bite. The protein was well prepared and was packed with flavor. Also, the other flavors blended well together. Also, the beer and wine selection was extensive for a restaurant of this kind. I can easily say someone can find something they like from the beer and wine menu. I will for sure return to try other things on the menu. Other notes -Our waiter, Kevin, was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was also very attentive.

I can't get enough of this place!! Everytime i go, i try something different and i have yet to be disappointed. Absolutely delicious and the ambiance is pretty neat as well. Definitely would recommend!!!

This is my 3rd time here and the Luster and quality has gone down. I talked up this place before taking a good friend this weekend, but it didn't live up to the Hype I gave it...we ordered the Chunks and Butterflies on the waiters recommendation and the Butterflies were the shrimp which where ehhh. The Shrimp were in that chili sweet sauce(like McDonalds), the Chunks were ripe-eye little pieces, but you can tell they have been sitting a while and were not fresh. Expensive too for an apprizer at $12. Our Waiter seemed to bit pushy with the Frita burger that he was pushing. My wife ordered one, and a guava one, but the waiter kept pushing the Frita burger and also most made her order two of the Frita instead of the Guava one she really wanted. Even at the end of the night, when we said it was good, he was like "see I told you, next time listen to me". My friend and I ordered the Taqueria Calle which is a choice of 4 tacos. I ordered 2 ribeyes, 1 carneasada, and 1 vacafrita, and boy did they disppoint for both of us. I ordered them last time and they were fresh, delious, and memorable. But this time they were dry, not fresh, and something you can get from a taco stand.
(3)Gerardo T.
Discovered these guys back when they use to be a food truck and fell in love with it. The only hip place in the Westchester / Kendall area where you can get a quality beer along with a great burger or taco! The food is awesome from people that really care about their product. Whatever you order order it with a side of the mango habanero spread on the side or if you think you got the balls for it ask for the Ghost pepper tacos!! Talking about balls their "Balls to the wall" dessert is a must! Love the food, love the atmosphere, honestly it is my personal happy place!! Thank you guys for opening this awesome place near my house!! Now I don't have to drive to Brickell to go to a nice, casual place!!
(5)Aida P.
This place is so good! When I'm here I wish my stomach was bigger (just kidding) I have been here several times and ordered different things and have liked everything so far! You can tell the chef takes pride in his craft. I have never had to wait to be seated. I have also ordered to go and it's been great. There is always parking available. I am here at least once a month. I just forget to check in
(5)Matthew P.
Always a great experience! Friendly staff, quick service, great food! Highly recommend the Orginal burger, it's unfortunate they removed the twisted love fries off their menu.

Liked: The service, the décor. Didn't like: The food, the owner's decisions about what the customer is permitted to have. I went to the Latin House based on their claim of "Best burger in Miami 3 years in a row." This didn't crack my Top 10 for best burgers. It could be the mix of meat they use - sirloin, chuck, and brisket. I love sirloin, chuck is ok, and I can't stand brisket. That alone might be why I found this burger lacking. (If you like all three kinds of meat, you might like it more than I did.) Also, they have these creative thin-cut spiral fried potatoes. They looked really appetizing when the plate arrived, and I could not wait to try them. They came to the table warm-to-cool, and only about one-third were crispy - the rest were soggy (i.e. undercooked). I mentioned this to the water, who, to his credit, went back and brought me a new plate - this one only slightly warmer (nowhere near hot) and just as many undercooked. I also find it interesting when owners choose what their customers are permitted to have. I ordered coffee, but was told they don't have coffee. I looked on the menu and saw that they have espresso and cappuccino but... really? No regular coffee? Also, when the burger came, I asked for yellow mustard. The waiter told me that they don't have any "mustards" because "the owners want their burgers to be enjoyed with their own sauce creations." In this case, for this customer, I knew better - their sauce was sort of bland, and the burger would have been better (for me, anyway) with mustard. I won't be going back to Latin House, but I've found when the owners are so arrogant as to decide what the customers get to have, they don't really care that customers like me don't come back.

So...don't ask me why but I gave LHG a 3rd shot...if you want TERRIBLE service give them a visit. Similar to many other reviews, the food tasted great but the service was terrible. My wife and I stood at the bar (which was a mess) we were greeted by multiple people none of which could take our order all of which assured we would be helped in a moment...it was a long moment. We should have got the hint and left then. Instead we ordered drinks followed by food. The drinks came quickly, the food took an hour...mind you, the restaurant was busy but not overflowing...there was a party of 4 that were seated before us and had just started their dinner as we were leaving...I can just imagine how long their food took. Clearly they don't discriminate at LHG...EVERYONE's food takes forever! Sorry LHG but there are far too many other options in Miami for great food accompanied by great service. Practice makes perfect!

I have mixed feelings about this place. While my burger was delicious I am not sure if I will be back. Here is the breakdown: Food: My burger was delicious but what killed it for me were their "fries". Can't believe none of the other reviewers have talked about this. They are not fries at all, hence the quotation marks. They are soggy, greasy, tasteless potato chips. Since when did potato chips start being called fries? They were gross and we did not eat them. I cannot eat a burger without fries to go with it, it is like eating a chocolate chip cookie without milk. Just wrong! The burger was also smaller than I expected and I ordered a second one because I was still hungry. Wait time: While I do appreciate that everything is made to order, we waited about 25 minutes to get our food after we ordered. That seems like 2 hours when you are hungry. Decor: I am not fond of the decor/ atmosphere of this place. While not everyone may care about this point some (like me) do. It seems to me the owners just bought a bunch of random used furniture or some of it was left from a previous tenant and they threw it in there without any kind of thought into the design and flow of the restaurant. The bar is huge and takes up most of the space but was empty. There is a god awful gigantic mural that covers 2 entire walls. What were they thinking with that?! It was distracting me from enjoying my burger b/c it was so ugly. Went to the bathroom and it is old and beat looking, not a thing has been touched since the 80's/ 90's. You can do budget bathroom renovations without spending a lot so there are no excuses for this. Empty old gumball machines outside of the bathroom hallway don't add to the appeal. Bottom line I did really like my burger but if I do eat here again it would probably be takeout and when I am not in any kind of a hurry.

It is a good meal in an area that doesn't have many good restaurants. I like their lettuce wrap tacos. Their soups are also delicious. Their service has been inconsistent. Sometimes it has been average and other times it has been terrible.
(3)J M.
One of the best burgers!!..... I love this place... Another must is tangled love with vaca frita!
(5)Yasmine G.
Service sucks. Enough to not order dessert and leave in a hurry. It's too bad, honestly the food is great. Our waitress however was acting like she was ignoring our table. Parties seated after us where attended to faster. Hopefully, service is improved. If not there is always takeout. Very disappointed.
(2)Mailyn M.
The best food!!!
(5)Ricky R.
Horrible service, waitress came up to our table maybe twice. Food took forever, burger was over cooked, asked if my burger came with French fries they said yes, came with potato chips... Had a horrible experience, wouldn't recommend this place at all!

I get so excited when I see a food truck serving vegetarian food, and lo and behold, Latin House Grill has a wonderful portabella burger for the mushroom lover and anti-meat eater. Not only is it a huge juicy mushroom sauteed and just as unhealthy as a real burger, it's coated in cheeses and caramelized onions. And they serve it up to avoid any messes, neatly wrapped in foil and sliced in half. Perfect for sharing and eating on the go. The wait was a little long, people were complaining. However, I asked in advance how long to expect and it took just about 10 minutes like she said it would. Prices were reasonable, a good $7 for a huge mushroom burger is what I'd expect at a nice burger joint, so nothing to complain about. Definitely will be keeping my eye on this food truck.

loved it!!! def coming back

Wow we went here about a year ago and I've been bugging my boyfriend to return since but, boy, was I ever disappointed! First things first, the chuchi bowl of rice is as good as ever but hello we're in Miami, I should expect no less! A good bowl of rice isn't particularly hard to find in Miami and Latin House's bowl of rice sure isn't making a lifelong customer out of me - certainly not with their customer service! So my boyfriend finally took me back - for my birthday lunch - after what I can only describe as a decent first time there albeit with excellent food. So we get there at 11-ish am, turns out they don't open until noon - which we didn't know. Well, as I'm pulling on the door handle before realizing this, there is an employee staring right at me just beyond the door who wasn't even kind enough to open the door and let me know or, at the very least, gesture something that would clue me in. So we sat outside and waited for little less than an hour - by far the most highly anticipated letdown of the year. At some point, a young guy clearly dressed as a server walks up to the restaurant so I ask "excuse me, do you work here?" And wouldn't you know it, he just kept walking right past me as if no one said anything at all - and, no, he didn't have headphones on or any other excuse. When we eventually got in the restaurant for lunch, there was the very same server sitting down ever so comfortably waiting for his first table so it wasn't even as if he was in a rush to go do something productive with his time. As soon as we sat down, pumped about my birthday, I started looking over the drink menu. Well, that didn't last long because no sooner than I had picked it up off the table our "server" LITERALLY snatched it out of my hand. Dumbfounded, I looked up only to be told "we don't have anything on that menu." Uhm, excuse me?!?!? What? Come again??? What do you mean you "don't have anything on that menu"? And how do you explain the fact that your hostess JUST sat me down and handed it to me? Nope, no explanations were given, just that they didn't have ANYTHING on that menu. Politely, I say something along the lines of "well, that was also the drink menu did you realize that?" at which point this dimwit of a server (not the same guy who ignored me outside) - whose name I never got because he was never polite enough to tell us, shocker! - said oh yea sorry and gave back the very same menu he had snatched out of my hands a minute earlier. So we order our food and it EASILY took us an hour to receive a chimiburrito, a chuchi bowl of rice, and an order of tacos. I understand that this isn't fast food and it's clearly stated on their menu but I'm sorry the wait is simply not worth it, especially when your server is nowhere to be found the entire hour. Alas, the food FINALLY arrives. Clearly starved, we go to work and are finished eating in roughly 15 minutes. Well, it would be about another 20 before we got our check and 20 more before the server picked up the bill and rang us up. I would love to say that the restaurant was busy but, in fact, it wasn't. Actually, once we set our credit card on the little receipt tray, in plain sight, our server walked by our table about 6-8 times on the way to the table immediately next to us without ever bothering to pick it up and charge us. If we were any other customers, we very well could have walked out the door - and with the amount of time we were waiting to close out our check, let me tell you, I would NOT have been remorseful if we had. It's not like one goes out PLANNING to dine and dash but when your server is not only not interested in charging you but clearly not at all concerned about his tip, there's only so much the customer - and in this case, birthday girl - can put up with. Like I said, we won't be back because the food here simply isn't good enough to justify a 2-hour lunch break or waiting 40 minutes to close out your check. Good riddance, Latin House.

Stopped by Latin House this past weekend & can't wait to go back! Everything was so fresh! For starters we ordered the Queso Fondue & Nachos; both delicious! Then I ordered the Chimi Burrito w/ Vaca frita and that was just AMAZING! Hubby had the muffin tops which he raved about. This place is great and so are the prices! Will definitely be back!
(5)David P.
This place rocks, recently visited once and for sure going back!!!
(4)Melissa L.
I think my expectations were just entirely too high for this place. I realize they had just opened a couple of weeks before I visited, but it was kind of a mess. We were told we would have a 20 minute wait to be seated, yet the place was half empty. During our meal, staff made continual errors with our orders and drinks would take eons to get to us. In fact, one of them never made it and we had to tell them to remove it from our bill. The food itself was great - just like the truck. However, I found it to be a little overpriced - especially the appetizers. The decor was really nice and it had a cool vibe, I just don't really think I'll be going back as frequently as I anticipated.
(3)Martha M.
I had high hopes for this restaurant.. i used to like getting their food truck fare like everyone else. But again like I've been seeing in more and more reviews... it's definitely gone downhill. Where to begin... So I brought my hubby in to finally try them out since I had a great time on Cinco de Mayo there with a friend. Plus, he loves beer and I do have to give them, they have a good draft selection. They also have a nice decor, the whole lighting situation they've got going on is neat.But that's about it.. again back to the review... So we walked in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We walk in and we are the only ones there. sign said to wait to be seated. Servers and staff walked by, chatted with other staff and we just stood there pretty idiotically when we literally could have sat anywhere, and of coarse was what was told to us by the server once he got around to it. Here's another big issue which ticks me off, the server didn't know a lick of English. yea yea, I'm Cuban and I love the cultural hub that is Miami, but my husband doesn't know Spanish and this guy barely understood me when I was talking Spanish... i didn't know what his deal was but anywho... We ordered the calamari "blossoms" b/c it looked so cool from one of many pictures that chef M posts on Facebook. Let me just say... the most disappointing plate of calamari I've ever seen. Such a small serving, we ate it in 3 minutes.. for I think it was $14 dollars! What a rip. Chef M, please go to ANY other restaurant..Town, City Hall, Yard House, hell, even Redfish Grill which is a fine dining restaurant, serves awesome calamari and NOT for so much $$. Please people, pass on the calamari, you'll be sorely underwhelmed. Next we decided to share the chimiburrito with vacafrita. Apparently my half of this greasy thing barely had any shreds of meat.. lots of cheese and lots of rice. NOT Happy, I yearned for more meat, sad even.. But the biggest insult... the bill. Mind you, we had 2 beers, SHARED an app and SHARED the burrito. Over $40?! Yea, they even charged EXTRA for using vaca frita instead of whatever other meat. A burrito for $14? Your out of your mind "chef M". FYI, you can get a big plate of vacafita at _____________ (insert any cuban restaurant) for $9-$12 including rice, beans, maduros... pft! I feel bad for the negative review, but it is what it is... If I ever go again, I'll stick to the burger.. just make sure you ask for the temp, cuz they'll give you an overcooked medium well if you leave it to them.
(1)Maria F.
Great place! Great food! Awesome environment! Friendly and fast service! Could ask for a better combination!
(4)Dorian W.
Food was pretty good, chimichanga burrito with carne asada hit the spot,steak with rice and plantanos maduros for that sweet touch. Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you are in the area
(4)Michelle C.
Suck on my chocolate salty balls. A warm fudgy/brownnie style center, surrounded by a warm doughnut layer and then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. See, they even included the delicious money shot for you! These are so ridiculously good, I don't care how ridiculous I look eating it.
(5)Jessica D.
As I sit here waiting almost 1 hour for my 4 tacos I wonder how this place is even surviving. We questioned the waiter why it was taking so long and we were informed that since there are 2 tables with more than 4 people that got here ahead of us, their food has priority (I was with 1 other person). Apparently the chef or cook cannot concentrate on more than 1 table order at a time. To make it worse there is a lady at the bar ALONE that has been waiting even LONGER than we have for her food. Really? Plus no manager no duty to apologize for the ridiculous wait time. It's my first time here, and even if those tacos make me orgasm I will probably never come back.... That is if I even get served my tacos!!!!

After being a huge fan of the food truck, I was excited to try LHBTB's new Sunset locale, and it did not disappoint. So much so that I came twice in one week! The first time was for a lunch date with the boo. We shared the chips and pico as an appy and the grilled chimi burrito (stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, vaca frita and topped with guacamole and crema). This thing was HUGE - I got to talk half of my half home to have for lunch the next day! The second time I came, my fam and I ordered the queso with chorizo dip. I would have preferred that it was more queso-y and creamy and not as chock full of chorizo, but it was delicious nonetheless. For my main entree I opted for the Mad Love Cuban burger (topped with guava and queso blanco) and the tangled fries. So much noms in this plate, I could hardly contain myself.. so I didn't. My family and I shared the balls to the wall for dessert (fried brownie balls drizzled with condensed milk and powdered sugar). It was awesome, but they weren't fried all the way (still some gooey batter left over). The service both times was great, albeit a bit slow the second time around; however, it WAS a Saturday and burgers do take longer to cook, so there were no complaints from me. The parking is easy as pie, as there's a HUGE lot to accommodate guests. WIll definitely come back!
(4)Cristina C.
5 stars for the food, without question. The service.. definitely not 5 stars, but not terrible, either. The people are always, always friendly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% convinced that they've got it all figured out. It's usually super slow, even when the place is empty, but if you're not in a rush then don't worry. Relax and order a beer. The food is totally worth the wait. It's always tempting to order a burger (they are delicious), but it's probably best to go with the Chimi Burrito or a Chuchi Bowl of Rice with carne asada. You can't go wrong with either one.
(5)C C.
Food was great. Each dish had a considerable amount of flavor. KUDOS to them. The service was quick and the were friendly. I will return.
(4)Dana D.
There were a couple of things deterring me from Latin House Burger. 1. It says "Latin". I hate that term. I'm not even going to get into it. Also, apart from the dude that's preparing your food, and about 90% of the patrons, I don't think there's anything Latin about this place. Their menu offers a variety of cultural flavors and is not limited to spickiness. They should rename the restaurant and call it International House of Burgers and Tacos. They should also relocate next to the International House of Pancakes and piss them off. Then when you tell people you're going to IHOB, they think you have a speech impediment. 2. It's in Kendall. 3. It's a food truck, and food trucks travel to you. Thanks to Groupon, I took my culinary explorations down south, and west, and now that I've tried it, I'd definitely come back for some burgerdome -- IF I'm in the area.
(4)Gianni D.
I have been here once and had purchased from the food truck previously. This is one of those controversial reviews for me. My wife likes it and other people I know love the place but I really feel its a bit hype. Having gone to many places in MIami and abroad, this place and its food is average to above average. Most of what I ate was greasy and the prices are too high for the kind of food they serve. Did I like the food, yes. A 3 out of 5 for me. Did I think it was worthy of a revisit? Not really. The staff is nice but there are too many of them and they "stumble" over each other. The interior is loud, and even though everything is relatively new in regards to decor, it does not have a well thought out theme or vibe. Its a mish mash of style. Its one of those places that you'll like or won't. Would I recommend it... sure give it a try there are a lot of people who love it. I think they will be more successful if they lower their prices, find their identity.

You know that saying "curiousity killed the cat," well my husband and I drive west on Bird Rd often and kept seeing LHG's food truck. Like typical Miamians, we were curious/nosey and wanted to see if this truck was any good. Unbeknownst to us, this was the first day to a new way of living. (And so curiousity did NOT kill us :) We were immediately LHG fans 'fo lyfe' after our first taste of their Ribeye Flatton. It was bursting with latin flavor!!! Everything from the soft flatbread to the flavorful ribeye to the delicious sauces, soooooo good. From that moment on I made it my duty to share this food truck with EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE. My personal favorites are the Ribeye puffy flatton (Flatbread stuffed with Ribeye topped with pico de gallo and their yummy sauces), the french muffin top (slider topped with slivered almonds, honey and brie!), the coconut shrimp tacos (the balance of sweetness, crunchy texture and latin flavor is absolutely divine), the chimiburrito (A deep fried burrito stuffed with Chuchi's famous yellow rice, your choice of protein, sweet plantains, three types of cheeses), and of course their balls to the wall (rich brownie battered, deep fried then served with a drizzle of condensed milk). My husband and I have been faithful LHG stalkers since the beginning and I am so thankful for Chuchi, Michell and Bella for sharing their flavors with the streets of South Florida! Not only do you experience great food but you experience top notch customer service! :) LHG FTW!!!!!!!
(5)Paulinacasado O.
Ok the food is amazing! Those chimichanga burritos (carne asada) are insane with the lime avocado sauce. Aged gouda red pepper soup, enough said! And well the muffin tops are a must (try all the mini versions). And everything is available in light version (but if not an every week stop then go for the full fat plate). Only thing is they are stingy with everything ie. charge for any sauce, fries on side of your plate instead of on plate they charge as a side?!? And they do not believe in mustard! and yes, staff/seating/host, subpar- but hey itsa food truck gone stripmall! Good tuesday taco specials and locals kareoke specials! and cant forget, the balls to the wall! Caution, so good!
(4)Lester M.
I drive by this place almost every day and I've been meaning to check it out since it opened. Finally I did. Not all spin-offs are as successful as the original and many are not successful at all. Take Joey from Friends, After M*A*S*H or Joanie loves Chachi, all awful spin-offs of very successful shows. Then there are The Simpsons, Frasier, and now the Latin House Grill. A spin-off of the original food truck, this is probably the best new restaurant in the Kendall area. As soon as I entered the place I liked it. The decor is very modern and I'm a sucker for uncovered roof, exposed air ducts and hanging light bulbs. Makes me feel like I'm hanging out in a loft in midtown Manhattan. The place was a little busy but we were seated within 5 minutes. The menu is intense. Not large but full of great choices. Everything looked delicious. Also the beer selection is pretty good. We started with the Carne con queso. Spicy but not overly, creamy, and with a subtle hint of lime, it was delicious and the tri-colored tortilla chips were a nice touch. As entrees I had the Chimi-Burrito with carne asada, a pile of deliciously season rice, tons of carne asada, lathered on crema mexicana, guacamole and cheese all wrapped up in a corn tortilla and the......(drum roll).... flash fried. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! First of all, the thing is huge (I know....THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID). I saved half for lunch next day plus you need space for desert, believe; you want dessert. The burrito is delicious, and the flash fry makes the tortilla crisp to the bite but dissolves in your mouth. I have never tried a burrito like this but from now on my burritos must be flash fried. My girlfriend had the Grilled Flatton with rib-eye. The tenderness of the meat, the taste, and boy that avocado-lime sauce is incredible. For dessert we had the Balls to the Wall with Ice cream, of course. Two perfectly round balls of sugary fried dough filled with a mixture of chocolate and condensed milk, with a ball of creamy vanilla ice cream all surrounded by more condensed milk, now that is a way to finish the meal. Now here is the one negative thing and I have to talk about it because a lot of reviewers seemed to have had the same issue. SERVICE!!! Eventhough our server was very helpful and took our order pretty quick, our drinks and our appetizer came out pretty quick, our dinner took a bit long. It could have been a kitchen problem because around that time started to get busy but our server did not help much. He was a bit slow and at times he look like a chicken running with his head cut off. Even the group next to us asked us if our food had taken too long. I do like the fact that the owners came around a few times but please understand that good food is only going to take so far. Eventually the service must be improved. Especially when so many people seemed to agree. This still a great place even with the spotty service. My suggestion is, be patient.
(4)Kimberly O.
Ordered take out from here with the girls from work a few months back and it was fantastic! I got the puffy flatton with cilantro lime chicken, and while the chicken tasted like neither, the entree itself was sinfully delicious. Came to eat in for the first time this past Thursday, which happened to be karaoke night, but I digress. When we arrived, the dining room was pretty empty. Our party of five was seated at a table in the middle, but we were asked to move just as our drinks arrived as they had a party of twenty (eek) about to arrive. Of course I happened to be reading the yelp reviews at the same moment I hear about the monstrously-sized party, and quite the handful of people have bemoaned the service while having a large party being served at the same time, citing the larger parties taking precedence over the smaller. My first thought was "oh sh@!", naturally. However, I was pleasantly surprised - we didn't seem to take the backseat to anyone, our food arrived fast and the order correct. We did, however, have to flag down a waiter for refills, but not a huge deal. The food in house was absolutely fantastic. My sons (4 & 5) both demolished and obliterated two sliders a piece. They stated they were the best burgers they'd ever had. I had my same puffy flatton, and my husband had the same except with carne asada. We usually have leftovers wherever we go. But not here! Between my boys and husband, everyones plates were cleaned. All in all, a great experience. We'll definitely be back! For those who say it is pricey, it is no more expensive than your typical chain (Chili's/Fridays) and the food is WAY better.
(4)Stephanie R.
The wait for the food is a bit long, but the food was delicious! The tacos were amazing and so were the burgers. Definitely a spot you must check out!
(4)Eloquent L.
Good food and prices but the portions are enormous! Makes me feel bad when I can't finish the meal. Craft beer is available, that's always a plus.
(3)Rachel P.
They may have been a wonderful food truck, but the restaurant SUCKS! Save your money. Taco Bell and Burger King taste better. Inexperienced wait staff - Deer in the Headlights! No liquor - they just got their license so the kegs were warm. WONDERFUL! BUT, Hey! There was no shortage of water. Great ,if you are trekking through the desert. I won't be giving them a second chance at my hard earned money.
(1)Jonathan I.
We came on Food Truck Night, Which I can remember which night it was (I want to say Monday?) After sitting down we were given the menus and our server let us know of the Food Truck Sampler that had all their food truck options as samples. We went ahead and orders those. We waiting a little while not too long at all. Once the food came out it was Great! 1st thing i grabbed and bit into was the carnitas taco wow the flavor was on point! then I tried the half cut burrito that came in the box and it was to my sweet surprise, sweet and salty! they had a fried sweet plantain in my fried burrito!? Hold the phone "Amazing" I loved the flavor combination! I'd come back to this place any time but saving it for "Cheat night" the Food is Heavy Awesome! Oh and about the service, we had no issues at all everything was fast and great even spoke with the owner who was behind the bar. Great food, service and decor. As I said will definitely come back.

I will never go anywhere near this place ever again. I'd been there before and had sketchy service, but tonite took things to a whole other level. My friend arrives before me with her special-needs son. When I walk in the door, there is water spilled all over their table, dripping onto her son and the floor. When I asked what happened, my friend said they put the water down in front of her son, and he accidentally knocked it over...5 minutes before. There were managers and staff standing around and no one was helping her clean it up....and there were no napkins anywhere to help her. A young man who works there comes over with a bottle of spray and a rag, puts them on the table and walks away, cleaning NOTHING. And the water continues to drip everywhere. I grabbed a napkin from the hostess stand and try to stem the tide. Not one person came to help me. The other customers were staring in disbelief. We got up, gathered her very hungry son and walked out. No one approached us or apologized. Let me not forget to mention there were a bunch of empty tables, and people waiting at the door. I have NEVER seen anything like that in my life. This was my birthday dinner. This is where I picked to go. The funny(?) part is, right before i left my house, I was reading the YELP reviews about the service and thought to myself "no place can be THAT bad". I was wrong. It was WORSE. They need to go back to what they did right..the food truck. THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER!!! ***Just an update~ The owner did reach out to me and we spoke at length about what happened and she asked how she could make it right. I asked if she could call my friend and apologize, which she did. That was classy. She did offer to buy us dinner. We have not yet been back. I'll keep you posted.***

Dear owner of Latin House, I had a terrible experience here last night! When we first got there they told us 30-45 minute wait when clearly there were several available tables (i guess this place is understaffed and can't keep up with the volume of people? I don't know) but we waited and we were sat around the 35 minute mark. We then placed our drink order and our appetizer order and main meal order. We got our drinks in a timely matter (decent selection of craft beers) but the app did not come out for almost an hour. The waitress constantly assured us our main food would be out soon...soon turned out to be, after patiently waiting for a total of TWO HOURS, "I'm sorry but the kitchen seems to have lost your order...." WHAT?!?!? lost our order?! Why did the app come out then? The waitress then re-took our order and promised to comp our drinks. 25 minutes later, we get our food which was mediocre at best, a little salty and then to be absolutely critical the fries were cold. (which means they have a dysfunctional kitchen with major timing problems) To top it off, the waitress couldn't comp our drinks but did comp our app which was also a huge disappointment due to the price difference! I was a really patient and understanding customer and when mistakes happen, you, "Latin House", needs to make the negative experience into a positive one and yet you failed on every chance to make it right. I don't even know how express what a total letdown this was. It's sad because i really try to support local business and avoid chain restaurants but when it all boils down to quality control and getting it right. My group at the end wished we had gone to Beer & Burger Joint (chain) . You lost, what could have been a loyal customer. PS. Hire more people please, i think you have enough volume to afford it. At least bring out chips or something (you are a taco bar) to keep the customer entertained until the food arrives 2 hours later.

Omg, this is a dangerous place to have right next door to where I work. They have such a great menu with different foods! I always end up getting the "chimi burrito" which always ends up being way to much food. It's basically a big burrito stuffed with sweet plantains, rice, protein of choice, and cheese and then fried.....basically a heart attack in a plate. I've also tried the clam chowder and lobster bisque bread bowl soups.... Both were awesome! They have a pretty good beer selection as well. My favorite is the Andygator, strong beer with a light taste! I've also tried the purple haze which is way lighter but still good. I love the industrial look to it and the staff is always so friendly! During one of my many visits (lol) the owner came to our table to make sure everything was good. This makes me feel good about spending my money on such unhealthy food!
(5)Karina G.
All I can say is: nom, nom, nom nom nom! I hate to admit this but I had never tried their food truck when they drove around. But came here one day to catch up with my cousin. We both ordered the burrito and omg it is HUGE! Yes Luis S. may be on to something about the gigantic portions but it is up to the customer if they want to eat the whole thing. Personally, it was too much for me so I took some home so I can have lunch for work the next day. Our burrito was out of this world! Defienitely something I have never tried before with plantains inside the burrito. The beer selection is awesome! And service is the best. They always came around to make sure that we were doing good.
(5)Steffi B.
Beautiful decor!! But worst customer service!!! Went last night the waitress sit us down, we wait like 10 minutes abd then another waitress ask us who gave you the menu??? We are close you dont see the open sign is off?? I think that was very rude basically she kick us out ... So dissapointed!!! The food looks yummi but i think latin burger needs to hire more respectful staff :(

Should be 5 stars except for the service. I have been to the Latin House around 6 times since it opened. As for the food, everything has been great - Burgers - awsome - Tacos - 4 tacos with your choice of protein including vaca frita, shrimp and the usuals - Soups - Big and great tasting. Lobster bisque in a bread bowl. - Great beer selection on tap (Blue moon in a fresh cold glass with an orange slice every serving) The only issue is the service. I can't say why it is hit or miss every time I go. It is worth the trouble, since the service can be much worse and the food is way too good.

Fries... Curly and tangled. Taste like savory morsels of crispy deliciousness. Libation... over 20 non-traditional brews to choose from. If you're lady doesn't like beer (like mine), try the Angry Orchard apple, it's a yummer! The original burger... was on point! Mushrooms were soft, but the star of the show were the caramelized onions. Shout out to John F. (our server) for an excellent virgin experience!

Wow! Can not believe it took me a few weeks to finally get to try Latin House, but I'm so excited I did because it is by far the best new restaurant in the Kendall area...I'd even list it as one of Miami's best newest restaurants. We ordered the following: -Appetizer: Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. Between the two of us, we ate about half of the dish and that's cause we were stuffing our faces. It's plenty for 4 people and it only costs $8.99 -Entrees: 1) Chimi Burrito w/Carne Asada @ 13.99 and 2) 2 Muffin Tops (French and Western @ 10.99) Okay, let me just say that we decided to get 2 entrees so that we could get a taste of the food and plus, our waitress recommended it. She was very friendly and offered many suggestions...and dang she was right b/c we didn't try anything we didn't love. So first, the Tangled Love w/Chorizo meat. OMG! I'm not sure if all the loads of Chorizo meat gave these loaded skinny fries the "it" factor, but the whole dish, including the pico de gallo, and avocado-lime were to-die-for. I could eat this everyday. This hands-down beats any "loaded" nachos anywhere else that lack meat, cheese etc.. Next, we took one look at the Chimi Burrito and our jaws dropped. Because we had the other 2 burgers, we decided to only eat half the burrito, which was just enough. (Heck once we finished the 2 Muffin Tops, we were stuffed). Anyways, the burrito, which also came with skinny string fries, was very flavorful. The tortilla was very crunchy (maybe fried?) and the filling was just so full of carne asada, queso, rice, and plantains! Loved the flavor on this dish as well... And finally, we made it to the 2 Muffin Tops, which are basically small burgers. NO - not sliders, bigger! The beef patty is a 1/4 pounder so 2 Muffin Tops between 2 people is perfect. The French was just so yummy. We love brie cheese and almonds so this burger was just perfect. And the Western was well, your typical juicy burger with a good amount of BBQ sauce on top of an onion ring. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert...Next time... OH did I mention they have a very good selection of craft beers. A+ And to top it off, a waiter came after us (once we had left the restaurant) to return a $10 bill we had inadvertently dropped at our booth. We were so happy with everything & this kind of honestly that we told him to keep the bill & split it w/the waitress. Good job guys! Keep it up!

Came into the restaurant with big expectations. What a disappointment! Starting w/ the overpriced chips and pico de gallo and moving right along to the Calle tacos. Imagine the disappointment when my hubby was served 4 tiny (3 inch) tacos that looked like a meal for my 10 year old son. The shrimp quesadilla appetizer was Overflowing with cheese, perhaps 2 large shrimp, and a few of the tiniest shrimps I have ever seen! Oh and by the way if you choose Carne asada as your "protein" of choice just be aware that you will be charged an extra $2. If you decide to visit, you better hope they do not have a party because if they do you will have to wait until the party group gets their food before you are served. Even if you arrived BEFORE the party! What a disappointing $85 meal... And that's without dessert or drinks!!! Will not return.

Average food. S-L-O-W service. The workers acted like it was business as usual. It was a Sunday night around 8pm and their were maybe 6 parties on the whole place

With the sudden proliferation of food trucks in Miami, LHG still holds a dear place in my heart and tummy. It still remains as one of the better food trucks out there and one of the best when it comes to burgers. When I saw their menu they had several items that were teasing me but alas, I went with their recommendation of the sliders- and I was glad I did! I went with their recommendation of their best sellers: French, Mexican, and Italian. They are small but they pack a ton of meat, and more importantly, flavor. The French is by far the BEST one on that menu. At first I thought: "Honey and almonds in my burger? Are they crazy!" One bite and I thought they were indeed crazy...crazy good!!! The subtle sweetness from the honey is the perfect compliment to the meat and the almonds give it the perfect crunchy texture. The Mexican was another favorite of mine. The wonderful taste of the cilantro came through perfectly and wasn't masked by anything else. On the other hand, the Italian was the least of my favorites when compared with the rest- it didn't have the same flavor profiles the other ones did. All in all, LHG delivered and has been consistently doing so. Just one bite is all it'll take to make you become a lifetime stalker...it did for me!

AMAZING. Food was filling and delicious for a reasonable price. The service was great and very respectful. Appetizer, entree, or dessert, you will not be disappointed here. Best nachos ever, chips weren't too salty and they packed it with meat and extras. Then the chimichanga was my favorite and would go back in a heartbeat! I hope this restaurant is here to stay and grows! Good luck and support this place. One of the best in a while!

Now the truck has grown up and become a full blown restaurant. Was there with both my older kids a few weeks ago. The place ROCKS! The look is like the love child of sleek sexy Scan Design and Bad Ass Cholo. When you walk in the front door you HAVE to look at the incredible mural to your right - sugar skull feme fetal! The food has gotten even better. What was once in limited quantity now is plentiful and all you need to do is ask! The service was great, the place is beautiful and the food incredible. We ordered a Puffy Flatton with vaca frita, Mad Love burger and Taqueria Calle Tacos (fish, chicken, vaca frita). I had trouble choosing a beer - there are so many that I must return to try them all! Still great food but now a great place to take the family, watch a game or sample chef's specials like the Tomahawk Steak that the thought of is making me drool.
(5)Andres V.
Gave it another shot, and I got my chimiburrito (aka God's gift to food) in a reasonable amount of time. Chef M assured me that it was mainly growing pains, and I was pretty sure it was just that, since I got my food insanely fast (even had time to go next door for some chocolate créme brulees for me and the family at Sweetness). I read the other reviews and see that people have problems with the service sometimes. I see what they mean: I did get asked by more than one server if I wanted something. But for the most part they are very amiable. They are great when they're not packed, which is around when I got there, and the food's still as delicious as ever. I can't give them 5 stars again until I go at peak hours, though. We shall see! No, I did not ask for ketchup. Yet!

All I gotta say is I'm in a love with a food truck she poppin, she rollin, she rollin. I've pretty much tried everything on the menu. I like them all. I got a soft spot for the sneaky chicken nachos. Its so good, so I always order them with a mad love. The tacos and flatons are good. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Lastly , their "balls to the wall" will get you balls to the wall. Seriously this little concoction (deepfried battered brownie) is heavenly. The taste reminds me of tempura ice-cream, the ice cream being substituted by a brownie. Next time I get the "balls to the wall" I will make sure to bring some ice-cream because "balls to the wall" + ice cream (cookies and cream for me) = Epic mouth explosion.

Today was my second visit here. It was not at all like my first visit. The first time we came, we sat at the bar and was greated by a server Jose. He was great. We asked what he recommended. Being our first time here and all. He said "Do not eat the tacos. Have a burger. They are all great". So we orderd The Originial and The Western. Both were great it was awsome. Jose was social. We had a great time. Now today. Not so good. We sat at the bar again. It took about ten minutes for somene to take our order. We asked for Dos Equis. It was flat. It took another 10 minutes for our appetizer, Sneaky Nachos. Which were really good by the way. Then another 15 minutes for food to arrive. We ordered the French Burger and a LHG Torta. So good. The food is great here, do not get me wrong. But the service today was just awful. I will come back to taste another burger. I just hope that the service will be different.

This has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had! Not only are they slow, but dirty, and have no regard for customer service what so ever. Lets start from the beginning... 3 couples at the door...waiters walking by...bartendar looking at us and no one even greeted any of us...finally 10 min into it a very slow hostess appears. She walks us to a table that was still dirty and literally brushes off the table with her hand unto the floor. The guy "sweeping" walked by the trash over and over again. The food took forever, they ran out of string fries and started inventing another type. So we had two different fries on the plate. My glass of water was empty for I dont know how long when I asked the waiter for water and hot sauce...he took over 10 minutes where my fiance had to get up and get it for me, and again no one wondered why we were literally serving ourselves. The food got cold waiting for the hot sauce. And when again we got up to get boxes to go...eventually the waiter asked if everything was ok. When we mentioned everything all he said was yes I understand very bad service, you dont have to tip me if you dont want. Really?! No apology, let me bring the manager. I so wish yelp had half star ratings! The food is definitely not worth the hassle. I wouldn't bother giving them another try.
(1)Robin M.
The service is terrible and the owner is a dick. Food taste good but extremely over priced and they don't serve enough on a plate. If your the type of person who eats more than a mouse and don't like to be talked down to, then stay away from this restaurant.
(1)Leah V.
I reeeeaalllllyyy liked this place. I have only visited once so far, but I will definitely be back. The Sneaky Nachos with Carne Asada were wonderful, not too heavy with the toppings (I hate it when nachos are so smothered with crap that you can't even see the tortilla chips). I had a Bulgarian Burger- mouth watering good. Drinks are limited to beer and wine. When we asked if sangria was available, our server said she would make some for us, which was actually very nice and refreshing. Beer selection was solid. We will definitely be back. Great service, great food.

I like Ingrid Hoffman on Food Network and have had wonderful hamburgers all over Latin America so I had high hopes for this restaurant. But hat a disappointment. It was very jarring to be in a restaurant that has Food Network shows going on three tvs in and endless loop while this crap is served up. First, the portions the muffinburger served at lunch for for eight bucks are not burgers they are sliders. Second, I ordered the "Mexican" because I look fresh bold flavors. I got no heat but just a greasy melted mess. Instead of fries you get tasteless chips whose only identifying feature is they curl. The atmosphere is more grunge bar/nightclub then Miami restaurant. Maybe that works at night but during the day, it has a hellish feel. Prices are also very hight for what it is. Place was empty except at lunchtime except for one screaming baby who on his own managed to make the restaurant noisy. I like to write positive or a least balanced reviews. But this place had no redeeming features. I am amazed that Ms. Hoffman would squander her reputation on this place. Not going back!!!!!
(1)katelin k.
I have been to Latin House twice and each time loved the food! Apparently word has been getting around about this place cause it was packed! I absolutely love the funky art work they have all over the walls. It sets a Wynwood feel inside the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. If you are a fan of spicy, order the mango habanero sauce! Its Fire!! I will definitely be back to visit soon.
(4)mike d.
had dinner last night , Awsome! our server George was fantastic. very friendly and helpfull.......must try the pig wings and the lobster lollypops. little bit of a wait but should be expected for a Saturday night. Will go again
(4)Erin L.
If you are looking for a light bite... Keep driving. This place serves big food. Perhaps a little too big! The French burger with the unexpected toppings of Brie cheese, almonds and honey is fantastic. It's sweet/salty/crunchy and beefy! I also ordered the pig wings appetizer which was entree sized. The pork was very tender and the glaze was an unusual mix of BBQ and Asian flavors. I would surely come back but need a few friends to help eat everything!
(4)Jaclyn G.
Oh, Latin House. I have hope for you yet. Really, I do. I get it - it's a challenging transition to go from food truck to an actual brick-and-mortar location. The logistics are crazy different. It's a tough gig, my friend. So this review will be without my usual cutting sarcasm (I know, I know...I'm getting soft in my old age) and just focus on some of the bright spots...and well, some areas that could use some polishing up. Now, just to get it on record, I've stopped by LH a total of four times - enough to write a fair review of what's doin' here. Latin House, you could be my go-to neighborhood...almost everything, really. Bar, late night munchies, casual lunch on the go - but you're not quite there. Yet. The food: Fat kid heaven. Just amazing. The succulently meaty pig wings. The juicy Mad Love brimming with a generous heaps of tangled potatoes. Even the health(ier) lettuce wrap tacos with chorizo are chock full of savory, greasy flavor. That is, when you actually have the food in stock. 3 out of my 4 visits, notable items were missing from the menu. And I'm not talking just one or two. We're talking closer to four dishes that we were told "sorry, no can do" on one particular visit. JG: "We'll have the pig wings" LH: "Sorry, we're out." JG: "Ok, well...let's go with the Queso." LH: "Um, we don't have that either." JG: "So....what about the shrimp?" LH: "No, I'm sorry." JG: "Ok, *what* do you have?" LH: "Chips and pico." JG: "Fine. We'll take it." On another visit, they were out of lettuce for the lettuce wraps. Also, chorizo and carne asada options for fillings. Note: this was at 7pm. Still pretty early on in the evening. Service: Spotty, at best. Front of house is what really needs the work here. On two occasions we've had waiters completely save the day for us (one waiter comped us 4 glasses of cider because our order of 1 taco dish and 1 tostada dish had failed to come out after a 50 minute wait - come to find out, the kitchen had "forgotten" our order). On another visit, a waiter went above and beyond to adjust some dishes for us due to food allergies. Good stuff. However, twice we've taken a seat at the bar to wait for our table and on both occasions noticed that hostess had forgotten about us and had started to seat new patrons in available booths. The hubs had to remind her on each occasion that we had been waiting patiently at the bar for her. Beer selection: Strong. Some nice craft selections on draft and a particular big-ups for carrying some amazing cider choices (Fox Barrel!). Also, while the wine list is limited, they're well-chosen bottles that are quite delicious and complex. Look, I'm not looking for any hate mail here. I truly love the food and decor and think you have a potentially amazing thing going here. Just need a couple of tweaks to get this set-up running like the well-oiled machine it deserves to be.

I heard a lot of good things about this place from family and friends and decided to finally come and try it. I have to day I am a burger joint owner so I have become very critical with the places I visit who serve burgers. I have to say that after trying the mad love burger I have become a new fan. My wife had the chimi burrito which was awesome as well. I will recommend this place to all my friends and will continue to come and try new thing.
(5)Ramiro A.
It's been 4 months since my initial review. I found myself in the area about lunch time and the place was pretty empty, so I decided to give it another shot. I ordered the smoked Gouda roasted red pepper soup and the fish tacos. The soup was good not great. The fish in the fish tacos were fried not grilled. It's possible the menu said it was fried, but I didn't see that. However, I liked the fish tacos enough to eat 3 of the 4 served. The menu though does make it seem, like you're about to eat something with a lot of different flavors and I didn't exactly get that. Despite all the toppings, it was a little bland. Problem fixed by adding mango habanero hot sauce which was delicious ( I don't know if they make it in house). The service was great. On the whole, the food here isn't bad; it's also not worth the hype. If I were eating it off a food truck, I'd probably think its the best thing in the world, but for a sit down restaurant it's alright. Wouldn't be opposed to going back if I were in the area again.
(3)Sasha F.
I went here alone on Saturday. I was very skeptical about dining in alone but the bartender and waiter convinced me to stay. The staff is really nice and the food is great! And their sangria is to die for!
(5)Jackie F.
Delish food! I have even there several times since opening...ad everything has improved, so give them another chance. The food is amazing. Everything from burgers to tacos to my new favorite the carne asada flatton. And make sure you save room for dessert--balls to the wall!!! If they have the appy special of guacamole--get it! Great flavor. Chef M and his team are doing a great job and Lov having another food option in the area
(5)Lori R.
I Like.... a LOT I was already a fan of the truck and the food at the restaurant is also really good! Sweet shrimp and carnitas appetizer was very tasty. The day we went they had some cocktail shrimp swimming in a tangy, limey pico de gallo which was pretty darn good... one complaint: The picture on the flyer had avocado and our dish had none, not that it mattered much since we ate every bite of that thing like it was our last meal before Armageddon, but I'm sure it would've been even better with a little aguacate in there... The tacos had this amazing avocado lime sauce....and the little muffin top burgers really hit the mark, not overly dressed, but just enough to impress... My favorite: French... brie and almonds = Awesome! And lastly but not leastly, the tap beer selection is pretty vast.... can't wait to go back and try them all.... We showed up at an off time and the place was rather quiet, everything was served quickly and and our server was awesome... I'll be back - many, many times
(4)Mercedes D.
Love this place! I have tried the mad love burger, nachos (appetizer), chimi (fried), bowl of rice with chicken and ribeye, tacos, and carne asada dish with rice and maduros. I have also tried the flatton, and not a big fan. The wait staff (most) should be swapped around. Not all 5 stars due to mediocre service, sneaky wording on "nachos with carne asada?" When it is $2 extra and it just catch me off guard because at first I said ribeye, and extra charge (with zero notice) on the extra garlic aioli sauce that came with the madlove burger.

Once you try LHG goodness,.. you WILL become a "food stalker"... you'll join their facebook,. their twitter and follow every blog that mentions their name... I realized their food was Gold that when waiting for the Mad Love Burger, 2 City of Miami Paramedic Trucks and a Fire Engine pulled up to order... these guys have their own posse! Mad Love Burger. Layered w/Mozzarella and Swiss cheese, mushrooms, caramelized onions, I opted for the habanero mango sauce and was topped with these amazing crispy po-ta-toes confetti..... it looked so beautiful...(happy tears)... Held together nicely throughout the meal. The Chimi Burrito was Gianormous!... I opted for the ribeye but minus the egg. This one might get messy, so grab a fork and dive in. Im a big guy with a ferocious appetite, but with this burrito I did not stand a chance. I recommend as an order for 2... Much lighter if ordered w/ chicken. I will next try the Puffy Flatton, Chicken Soft Taco or Cabo Wabo Fish Tacos and CHUCHI RICE!!!! Currently, their International sliders are what's popping. Great people & food.

This is simply where it's at. After trying the perfection know as the "MadLove" Burger and their "Sneaky" Nachos, I've come to the conclusion that Latin House Grill is the best food stand/truck in Miami. The burger is cooked to order, topped with grilled onions and mushrooms, plus fresh avocado, made to order. It is then topped with three different cheeses, and a bundle of crispy string fries. The bun is warmed up on the grill, and only adds to the amazing-ness of the whole ordeal. On top of all those delicious add-ons, you have a huge selection of sauces, ranging from mango-habanero, to jalapeño-cilantro. This huge burger runs about $7.00, but it surely gets the job done. They also offer tacos, nachos, burritos, and "flatton" (not sure what that is). I tried the nachos and they were excellent. The meat on them is hot off the grill, and then topped with two (or three?!) types of cheese. Great stuff here, too, with all the fixings you need/want. If Latin House Grill is in your area, be sure to give them a call, or follow them on Twitter/Facebook, for one of the best lunch/dinners of your life. The only downside is that it is cash only, so bring dollars and cents before you head out (they are working on putting out a credit card system soon). The owners/employees are super nice, and the service is always extremely fast. I don't know what else I could ask for. Maybe if the truck came with a beer dispenser? Just kidding, Latin House Grill is one of my favorite spots at the moment. Mango-habanero sauce ftw (for the win)!

went to latin house for the first time after watching triple d's guy fiori talking about this place. had the chimi burrito (featured on the show) was very good - split it with the wife- service was good & fast - a little pricey - would return
(5)Jennifer S.
I was at a festival and came across this place. I didn't actually order anything myself, but had a taco and a bit of burger from Ginas plate. yep... i'm a pig and don't dare dangle food in my face, i'll bite your fingers! But it wasn't the burger or taco that was anything special... but the mango habanero sauce. it was out of this world!!!!! I'm in desperate need of a recipe... or can you buy this stuff in store. I WANT MORE!!!
(5)Marlem I.
We had seen the TV segments a few times, and finally made it out there! Fantastic. We had the small nacho platter with the carne asada and it was great. The lime avocado sauce and pico on top of the rainbow tortilla chips- finger licking good. It was huge for a small platter. Meals: Burger, Lettuce Tacos, MadLove wings and chicken kids tacos. ALL of it was good. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chef. We were too full for desert so we will be going back for that and dying to try the frita. The server was very attentive and really knew his menu. The food takes a little bit to come out but not a long crazy wait, and they cook to order so it's fresh. I can honestly say the portions were huge and sooo good.
(5)Cristina G.
Delicious! I had heard great things but was still surprised by the creative items on the menu and the extensive beer selection.
