| - If your blink twice while looking for Mi Comida Resaurante Latino on Bell and 43rd Ave you'll miss it!! This place is small and not very appealing on the outside. But it's what's on the inside that counts and this place is no exception. What an awesome little "Ecuadorian Gem" of a place this is!
Mi Comida reminds us of some of the best Peruvian, Argentina and Columbian restaurants we used to go to in Miami but without all of the flair and the high prices. This is truly a mom and pop, locally owned restaurant serving up delicious South American dishes. This place is very small and quaint with some personality. They do fill up during lunch and dinner, so you may want to come early to get seated right away.
I was excited to see they serve several traditional South American dishes and delicacies which are somewhat similar to but also very different than traditional Mexican food. I was excited to try their shrimp and fish ceviche served the same way we get it in our favorite Argentina/Columbian restaurant in Miami, which is in a large goblet, tons of flavor and spice, enough to serve two. It was fantastic!
We had to try their tamales which are a little different than the traditional Mexican tamales. I recommend getting their Tamales Sampler which consists of a red shredded beef tamale which was excellente' ~ wound up ordering a couple to go, a white green chili with queso tamale, also excellente' and their Ecuadorian tamale which had pork, tomato, carrots and cheesy goodness wrapped in a banana leaf. This tamale is worth making a second trip back on the same day ~ lunch and dinner!
My friend had their Seco de Pollo ~ chicken stew which was a wonderful dish and a chicken empandas for an app. She loved it. Friend #2 had their shrimp stew for an app and their Bandela Paisa with chorizo, carne asada, plantains, rice and other goodies. The carne asada was tender and delicious with just the right amount of heat and sauce. It too was excellente'.
Their menu offers several options so don't be afraid to ask the server about the dish before ordering. Try their empandas, tamales or ceviche as an app or pick several different ones as a meal. You can't go wrong here! You will leave satisfied, happy and already to planning what to eat on your next visit.
I'm always a little cautious when I read reviews from people I don't know that state things like "this is the most authentic food..." especially when it's ethnic food and the writer is whiter than me. Who knows, these writers may be from Ecuador and somewhere in South America, but what I do know is the food at Mi Comida Resaurante Latino taste as good as or better than some of the best South American restaurants I've been to.
They keep it simple with tons of flavor and lots of love! I hope to see you there.
