Fritanga Cana Brava

So far out of all the nica fritangas in miami this one is right there with pinolandia. Whats great about this fritanga is that not only is the food good but the service has been amongst the best. They are fast and very nice compared to other nicaraguan places that the women are always unfriendly and looking like you are annoying them. The carne asada is awesome, it has its own unique good flavor different than pinolandia’s which is our favorite now along with this one. So far i love it here. only a few minor negatives which are that they dont offer soups and tres leches which is standard to offer in most nicaraguan places. Hopefully they stay good since they are still pretty new. Highly recommend overall!

This restaurant always has a great variety of Nicaraguan dishes ready to eat and the food is always excellent! The prices are very reasonable (Under $ 10) and the amount of food you receive is easily shareable between two grown adults.
I usually order the Gallo Pinto (Rice with beans) and the Carne Asada (BBQ beef) with salad. The rice is perfectly done with great taste and the beef is usually tender and well seasoned.

Visited on 12/​1, parking was a bit challenging as it was very busy. Food was fantastic, I had the carne asada with gallo pinto, tajadas and a queso frito. All the food tasted great and was fresh. Staff was courteous. Overall a good experience.

Food all looked amazing fast service great Carne asada plates are worth the price for the amount of food you get don’t forget the fried cheese

Este lugar es uno de los mejores para comer comida nicaraguence todo super limpio y mucha variedad todo bien cocinado y super rico

Food is great!!! Been in Miami since Tuesday and been here everyday since. Fast service yet girls are rude, Please and Thank you gets you rolled eyes

:) this place is awesome. Been here a couple times. love the food the people are fabulous. Would happily come back. will be bringing the family

Best Nica food in Miami. This place is a must. All kinds of Nica food and for a great price.

Yoooo this place is the truth!!! Best fritanga in Dade, period! Forget Pinolandia, Monimbo, and Yambo. The crown has been taken! The fritanga iron throne belongs to Caña Brava. Found this place because of Unilocal.I went on a Friday, around 5pm. The place was just starting to get busy, it’s just like any other fritanga where the food is served cafeteria style; however, while I was there trays of fresh food kept being sent out to the patrons. Omg the taste of the food is so good and it is seasoned well. The meat was surprisingly very tender… It was a little on the greasy side, but fritanga is usually greasy. I got the steak strips (carne asada), rice with beans (Gallo pinto), fried cheese, and fried plantains. All that for 10 bucks! Trust me, you only need half of what you’re served and you can save the rest for later. Craving it bad as I write this review. This Cuban girl loves her some fritanga and this place is amazing!

Ok so I dont usually give 5 stars but this places deff deserves it for the value and the taste of the food. They have grilled steak rice with beans on it fried Plaintain’s for about eight dollars. The steak is amazing and greatly seasoned. This is the kind of place that is not fancy at all it’s very home you know small but the food is worth it not a fancy place again but the food is deliciousmy favorite thing is the grill steak with the rice with the fried Plaintain’s fried cheese for about $ 9. This place always has a huge line because they’re very popular in the area but the line goes quickly.

Unbelievable, best fritanga on this side of town. We stopped here after the Marlins game. I have to say everything is great and they serve so much food. Definitely a must…

Food was tasty and plentiful. There’s also a decent selection of different dishes to choose from. Service could be a little bit slow especially during rush since there seems to be not enough servers when it comes to value you do get plenty of food and the prices are ok. However they do charge you 50 cents more if you do not want any ice in your drinks which I have never seen at any other restaurant and I am Not sure if this is legal or not. Atmosphere: there is a serious hygiene problem at this place there were food remains all over the floor and the tables. There we’re also lots of flies inside the restaurant. This is probably due to inappropriate food storage and or trash disposal. There is no menu with prices displayed in the restaurant

put it this way its so good I can eat this everyday, I am from Nicaragua and the gallo pinto is out of this world delicious.

This place is way better then pinolandia and yambo hands down in little Havana. They moved to a better and bigger venue. The food is still great, the carne asada (Grilled Meat) is very juicy and tender. I recommend you try a drink named Cacao (powder coco). I always order carne asada with Gallo pinto (rice and beans mixed together) quesso Frito (fried cheese) which I recommend, ensalada (salad) and tejadas (fried plantains chips). Nicaraguan food is the best

My new favorite fritanga spot in Miami. The food is very authentic and seasoned just right. They have a variety of options with very modest prices for the quantity of food that they serve. Let’s just say you will have food for days if you aren’t a big eater. Sadly since the food is good it draws in huge crowds so this place is always busy. Parking to say the least is a mess most of the time. I usually park far if I’m alone otherwise come with a friend and be prepared to drive in circles while one runs in.

this is the best fritanga that I have ever been to. For less then $ 10 I got the carne asada, gallo pinto, maduros, tortilla and queso frito! add the little salad on top of the rice with the salsa picante and it’s awesome. best food from any fritanga!!! the parking lot sucks but worth i!

The fritanga here is amazing! For $ 10 you get a heaping portion of carne asada, gallo pinto, platanitos maduros, and a pretty big piece of fried cheese. A side order of crema is $ 1 and its a pretty good size.

The moved a few blocks, 28^th ace and 7 at, call to be sure, bigger place has not lost its flavor, let’s hope it stays that way.

This is an excellent fritanga. The food looks fresh and they have a ton of variety. I usually get the gallo pinto and carne asada and this place makes them delicious. The space inside has plenty of tables if you choose to sit and eat. I recommend!

My fave fritanga!!! Pinolandia aint got shit on this place… except the hours, maybe. Lol. This place is pretty tiny, a hole in the wall and if you drive by too fast, you’ll miss it. I was introduced to this place by a nica friend and he clearly knew what was up ’cause this fritanga is the only fritanga that matters.
Besides hot food, they sell a bunch of other misc central american foods and treats. They also have the frozen goodies in flavors I’ve never seen. Omg. Too great. I love this place. For about 9ish bucks i get carne asada, gallo pinto, sweet plantains, fried cheese and a tortilla. Def worth it for me cause i always have leftovers for lunch for the next day! Dont forget to get a cup of cacao to go with your food!

When looking for authentic Nicaraguan «fritangas,» or in english a homestyle restaurant, there are only a few great spots. When searching for authentic food, the flavor and taste of the nicaraguan food items is key. I came in with a bias opinion because I would be cheating on my regular go-​to spot, however, I was surprised to find a new spot!
It’s a small hold in the wall and the only way I found out about this place was word of mouth. You drive by it and you would never assume it’s a nicaraguan fritanga. Not much parking, so find a metered spot and walk over. Once inside, the line can be a bit confusing if you know spanish well, you can ask where the end of the line is. Otherwise, you can make eye contact with who you think is last and point to see if you can stand behind them. Ha! Now, normally, at a restaurant you would seat and be served. At this place, you make the line like I previously stated and wait your turn to chose your food from a window display. There can sometimes be a person shouting out the day’s specials.
Once it’s your turn the person serving behind the glass will shout, «who’s next,» most likely in spanish (proximo). You can point at the things you would on your plate. I highly recommend to come here on a weekend and pick «bajo.» They usually only make it on weekends. It includes: soft meat that’s been boiled over a long period of time to make it very tender, so tender you can cut it with your fork. It also has differently cooked plantains in soft and hard consistencies. It comes with cabbage salad and yucca. If you order it to go (which is ideal) you’ll be served in a to-​go plastic container incase you to finish, this is the way to go.
If you’re a meat lover: order carne asada (steak) with arroz blanco (white rice) and maduros (fried plantains). I also overhead someone ordering a breakfast platter with a mix of eggs and sausage.
If you ask to eat there then it’ll come on a plastic plate. There is very little seating here, about three or four tables. Therefore, its not group friendly. It’s kind of divey, not somewhere to go on a date but rather somewhere to go when you’re in the mood for something quick, delicious, filling and different.
Pricing can range from $ 6-​$ 7 a plate depending not the sides you get, but thats the standard. If you want a can of soda or a typical nicaraguan juice then its a separate price.
