Francisca Charcoal Chicken & Meats (Miami Lakes)

If you are into Latin grilled meats this is a must try establishment.

The place has a clean, open and welcoming atmosphere. Very casual ambience and enough seating for a family outing. Tables inside and outside.

Service was quick and friendly as well.

We order combo plate with , chicken, picanha, sausage, pork belly , and plantains for $70. Two people could not finish it.

The best part is the taste. The meats have been marinated properly. Steak was cooked perfectly. The chicken was moist and tasty. The platter was an excellent experience.

The place has been there for 3 years and already have thousands of positive reviews. I can see why and definitely will be back.

We had a great time at Francisca last night. The food was amazing, we loved the fried snapper and the tostones. The service was A1A, Maria Elisa took care of us and made sure we felt at home. Can't wait to come back!!!

Amazing food, very flavorful and arrives very fast. We had the chicken and the cheese as a starter! So delicious! Nice environment with music and climate. Maria Luisa was the best waitress ever. Super patient all of our questions, loving and positive with the best recommendation !

My recent visit to Francisca’s was nothing short of exceptional, highlighted by the culinary delights and the warm hospitality extended by our waitress, Maria Elisa. The ambiance of the restaurant set the stage for what was to be a memorable meal.

My boyfriend opted for the Bandeja Paisa, a decision that proved to be impeccable. The dish, requested medium, was served to perfection - the meat was succulently juicy, bursting with flavors that tantalize the palate. A standout component was the chicharrón, so tender and soft that it seemed to melt upon contact, leaving a lasting impression of culinary excellence.

As for myself, I chose the Cruzado de Res y Ave. The soup, rich in flavor, was a comforting embrace to my slightly under-the-weather self. Each spoonful was a testament to the chef’s ability to combine ingredients in a manner that soothes both the body and soul.

The service provided by Maria Elisa was the cherry on top of an already delightful experience. Her friendly demeanor and attentive service ensured that our dining experience was seamless from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot on, and her knowledge of the menu added a personal touch to our meal.

In conclusion, Francisca’s has secured a special place in our hearts, and our palates. The combination of mouth-watering dishes and the warm, welcoming atmosphere guarantees that we will be returning patrons. For those in search of an exceptional dining experience, look no further than Francisca’s.

This is my favorite place on Main Street! It’s always delicious and the service is wonderful! This evening for my friend’s birthday, we were attended by our waitress Day and she was so attentive to all of our needs! She provided wonderful service for a special night. We ordered a variety of our favorite menu items and they are always consistently amazing. 10/10 experience every single time. They don’t miss!

This is our go to restaurant for fast casual, healthy food. It's reasonably priced in comparison to others and their chicken is amazing. I was never a rotiserri chicken type of person but this place has won me over.

I went in for Halloween with my wife and daughter, food was good, the service was acceptable but understandable due the fact that was on a Holiday and there was a lot of people walking in and out. The drinks were ok, we felt that it had very little to non alcohol.

This restaurant has a great Latin food variety. The chicken is amazing, plus I had two sides that come with and it was a great combination. I had the tres leches cake as well and it was really good. Thanks Paola for all the recommendations and for being so nice!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed eating at Francisca. We live out of town and every time we come to Miami we visit Francisca. In this opportunity, Maria Luisa took care of us. Her service and the food were fantastic! We will be back

The menu boasted a diverse range of dishes, each plated with precision. I particularly enjoyed the signature dish, a delectable fusion of flavors. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients made the meal truly memorable. While it's a bit on the pricey side, the overall dining experience justifies the cost. I highly recommend Francisca for those seeking delicious food.

Cute little spot. Kimberly took care of us. She was very attentive and professional. The arepas were SO good. We’ll be back for sure.

WOW! Exceptional service, atmosphere, and home cooking experience. Day, the server, was exceptional.

I know they changed the coffee to capsules, and my only feedback is don’t give up requesting better coffee after such excellent food. We sponsor this fantastic place, and we can demand it!!!! Let’s ensure we ask for a 100% outstanding cuisine and beverage experience. If you pay more than $2.75 for a single espresso, it shouldn’t come from a capsule TERRIBLE!!!!
