"I?m visiting Florida for the holiday and always want to eat Colombian food the moment I land. We didn?t want to drive all the way to Miami to eat at Versailles so I Googled ?best Colombian near me? and this restaurant was listed. I?m super excited to begin with to eat because I normally don?t branch out for Colombian food and their food looked amazing. During this time we arrived, it was the three of us in a empty dining room around lunch time. We thought this would be perfect because we were expecting a full restaurant and we now were able to eat and get our food in a decent timing. That was not the case in our experience. Our server, Dionny was genuinely welcoming and kind. He offered us drinks, their specials, and appetizers to begin with and then we ordered our main entree as soon as we were done. After we had ordered, we noticed the dining room was starting to fill up and throughout the entire time we waited for our food every single person that was seated after us received their food first. Our water was never refilled and we were never checked on again. Every single person that came in after us all left before us. I thought I was overreacting but my friends noticed it as well. Since we were never checked on, we had to walk to the register to get our check ready. I really appreciated his kindness and his compliments but questioned the authenticity after we were served like that. I would be fine not coming back."

"This was insane. I?ve had good Cuban food. But never THIS good. Every item blew me away and I?d come here again in an instant. We started off with mojitos and mango juice. Mojitos are considered the best in the city! I personally loved the mango juice as it was super thick and tasty. We then had their fried pork chunks with fried plantains happy hour appetizer. This pork was super crispy on the outside, and super tender and fatty on the inside. It was perfectly seasoned just enough for the meat to still remain the star with its fantastic texture. The fried plantain chips were served with a tangy lemon mojo (sauce) to dip them in. We then got some shrimp filled puffs. The shrimp were soft and savory and the puff was super light and airy. The main dish I had was the vaca frita. This shredded beef is served in a beautiful baked plantain atop mashed plantains. I chose sides of mixed black beans and rice as well as caramelized plantains. The meat was incredible. So much flavor infused into tender, shredded meat. The rice and beans were so good themselves I could eat a bowlful of that alone! And as always, plantains are so good when slightly sweet and caramelized. The final item we had was their dessert torreja. This is essentially French toast, bread pudding, crème brûlée creation. It?s the best dessert item I?ve ever had in my life. So soft and custardy while crisp on the outside. Served with an incredibly creamy vanilla ice cream. Absolutely stunning and blew me away! Overall Mojitos is an absolutely phenomenal restaurant with excellent dishes and one of the best desserts I?ve ever had!"
