Reviews from Google
"I visited this spot while traveling from Toronto,Canada 🇨🇦, I have mixed feelings about my experience. On the positive side, the food is excellent—the portions are large, the pricing is very fair, and they have a great selection, including some delicious soups and fried fish. It’s a convenient 24-hour spot (though note that they do close at 11:00 PM on Wednesdays). Unfortunately, the service was a major disappointment. As a non-Spanish speaker, I completely understand that I am in a predominantly Spanish-speaking area, and I made sure to come prepared with Google Translate on my phone to help bridge the language gap. Sadly, the staff seemed unwilling to take a moment to look at the screen or assist me, appearing far too busy or disinterested to engage. I only managed to order thanks to the kindness of other customers in line who stepped in to help. I really wanted to enjoy and support this establishment, but the lack of effort to communicate or provide basic service felt discouraging."
Food was good, place was very clean the portions were normal not huge amounts like I've seen advertised in past postings for a single serving expect to spend $10 to $12. I spent about $18 I ordered carne asada with Gallo pinto, plantains and fried cheese a breakfast platter with an extra cheese and two drinks. All in all it was a good service and the food was great, if I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely come back.
Great food selection, the meat cooked on the spot
This place got great food but today December the 26 that everyone needs to work and eat, they play games and didn’t open at 6:00 is rush hour for breakfast and they say is 24/7 this is United States of America, this is not Nicaragua you should know that you need to respect your customers and be very careful with that. The owners need to make sure what kind of irresponsible employees they put in the front on days like these. I’m not coming back and gonna trash talk on you with all my friends. No recommended any more. I encourage the owners to check the cameras and watch how many customers the lost, that is money, and that is the reason why restaurants are made for.
Wow, Pinolandia truly delivers an outstanding Latin food experience that has quickly become my favorite! I recently visited and was absolutely blown away, particularly by their famous Carne Asada. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, especially when paired with that fantastic orange sauce – it’s a must-try. The quality of the meat is simply top-notch, making every bite satisfying. Beyond the carne asada, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the yuca and plantains were. I'm usually quite particular about plantains, but theirs were exceptionally flavorful and cooked to perfection, changing my mind completely! The Gallo Pinto also complemented the meal beautifully, rounding out an authentic and delicious plate. What also impressed me was the incredible value. You get a really generous amount of food for the price, which is fantastic. Despite the popularity, the service was surprisingly fast and incredibly friendly, making the entire dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Yes, there might be a bit of a wait, but honestly, it’s a small price to pay for such consistently delicious and authentic Latin cuisine. Pinolandia is definitely a gem I'll be returning to again and again!
