★★★★★ 5.0 Charles David · Dec 2025

A great Nicaraguan restaurant with a vast variety of food in its menu. There is a lot to choose; however, I’d recommend either churrasco or whole rosted chicken. Still the rest is good. There’s also seafood options and many cocktails to enjoy. The place is so nice, feels like in a small colonial town from Nicaragua. The staff is really nice and very knowledgeable of the menu. Plenty of free parking in the plaza.

This place has been here for quite a while and thankfully the food is still hitting the spot. Is it the best meat? No but you're also not paying $75 for an 8oz steak! The one thing though, service was very slow. It's more of an old family tradition at this point I guess. Ample parking as this location sits in the middle of a shopping plaza

We had a nice experience at El Novillo! The baby churrasco was really good,cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also ordered the small sample platter and it was delicious, a great way to try a little bit of everything.Our server unfortunately wasn’t the best, but thankfully Karel, who was our food runner and busser, truly made our visit the best experience. He was polite, attentive, and respectful at all times. He went above and beyond to make sure we were actually taken care of. Thank you, Karel, for your excellent service,you really made a difference in our visit!

Great Nicaraguan restaurant in Miami, for those feeling the nostalgia for Los Ranchos this is by far a cheaper but with great quality option. I had the churrasco with jalapeño sauce and it was phenomenal. They offer salad and garlic breads as complementary entries and they’re so good. We had beers as drinks (they sell Toña but now you can find it almost anywhere in Miami lol) and for dessert we had some tres leches and it was out of this world. I would definitely return, the attention was remarkable, and the restaurant is quite nice but it’s very cold, it seems the AC is in Winter Mode, but other than that cannot complain about anything. Perfect spot!

This place is great service is always on point. They took our party of 8 right away no wait. The food is great I recommend the sampler this is the one sampler I've seen that gets eaten completely by the table everything in it is good. The churrasco is good and their rice is great. Make sure you ask the servers for some of the free bread too its very good. The one place they lack in is they dont have fresh juices. Price is typical of a good restaurant. Portions are big and you can ask for more rice.
