Food was outstanding and far more than one could eat. Service was perfectly attentive - not hovering but there every time you needed them. It was a bit crowded. And finding a parking space was an adventure and expensive but other than that a magical experience.

The experience at Andrés Carne de Res is always excellent, and Andrés Miami showed me that no matter where you are—whether in Chía, Bogotá, or Cartagena—it will always be a great plan. The food is DELICIOUS, including empanadas, chicharrones, arepas, meat, and patacones. It feels like you are in Colombia, with all the authentic flavors. The entertainment features a spectacular singer, and the costumed performers transport us to another world, filling us with laughter. In Andrés, every detail has its significance. I especially loved the yellow butterflies on the Colombian beer bottles! Having this experience in Miami is fantastic—one less thing to miss!
