If you ask any Miamian who loves Nicaraguan food where to get their favorite Nica dishes, you will probably hear them passionately mention Yambo. This casual spot has been feeding Miami’s Nicaraguan community for decades, but it’s not just the food that draws people in - Yambo is also open 24/7, making it a favorite stop after a long night out. No matter when you come, you’ll find a diverse crowd waiting for plates of fresh-off-the-grill carne asada, fluffy gallo pinto, and crisp fried cheese.

“Late-night Nicaraguan food in a wild environment. You might pull up and there’ll be an old Latin man playing the guitar on his one-man sound system. Depends on my vibe, but I usually get gallo pinto, carne asada, maduro, and queso frito.”
