“Best Skirt Steak in Miami!”

El Novillo Restaurant

Jul 28, 2006

This restaurant is beautiful...It looks like the interior courtyard of a South American hacienda. It has a fountain in the middle, and potted plants everywhere...However, the highlight here is the steak. My mother is not a big meat eater, and she said their baby churrasco is the best steak she has ever had. It was tender, juicy and totally flavorful. Thei service is efficient, but not overbearing. It is awesome. Visit El Novillo!

“Far Exceeds Competition”

El Novillo Restaurant

I have lived in Miami Beach for 7 years and have lots of friends from up north who visit regularly. We like to take them to unique restaurants, like Nicaraguan food, that they can't get up north. While the food at Los Ranchos is good, the servers are very snobby (especially if you don't speak Spanish) and I dread taking visitors there. Then I discovered El Novillo. What a hidden gem! Hiding in a very ordinary shopping center on Bird Road, the decor inside is truly extraordinary...and the food is amazing. But best of all, every time I have been there, the service is outstanding. I will never go to Los Ranchos again, and have been recommending El Novillo to everyone I know.

“Excellent”

El Novillo Restaurant

Wow, I always eat here. They have excellent steak and their side dishes (rice and plantans) are soooooo delicious. You must go. Price is reasonable, not what I would consider expensive at all. Romantic is about a 7. For families about a 7. It is not loud nor too quite. Service has always been good and food VERY fresh and tasty!!!
