LA FOGATA RESTAURANT – Restaurant

A Miami standby for Nicaraguan cooking, built on one idea: marinate properly, then cook over live charcoal. Churrasco with chimichurri and gallo pinto is the plate to start with, and carne asada, queso frito and crisp tostones round out most orders. The onions and cilantro get chopped and the sauces made fresh each day, which regulars insist you can taste. Portions run large, prices stay fair, and the room is nobody's idea of formal. Come hungry.
