FRITANGA MONIMBO PALMETTO BAY – Restaurant

Fritanga Monimbo's Palmetto Bay location brings the family's Nicaraguan counter cooking to South Dixie Highway. The grill is the centerpiece: carne asada worked over open fire, plated with gallo pinto, fried cheese and sweet plantains, with catering trays going out for the parties that inevitably follow. Order at the counter, eat quickly, or carry it home. This family has been cooking in Miami-Dade for decades, and it shows in how little fuss surrounds the food. Straightforward, generous, and Nicaraguan to the core.
