This place is like a high end cuban cuisine. The atmosphere is luxury with awesome half moon tables that made our party of 6 very comfortable. The service was so sweet and on point! The food tasted fenomenal. We ordered a family cheese pizza, a club sandwich, a pan con bistec and 2 mamey smoothies. It was priceless to see my kids reaction when the waiter brought them the menu and crayons! My favorite part was how economical our bill came out for all the food we ordered. Very satisfied, and totally recommend coming here.
Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Laura D. was very attentive to us and made sure everything came out great. 😊
Alex is the reason I keep coming back. The food is excellent and the portions are massive for the price. I recommend the maduro pizza, chicken Vaca Frita with boniato frito and moros. Think about a Guayaba pizza for dessert.
This place is GREAT! Food portions are huge, we always leave with voces. The food is so flavorful and fresh. Dianelys was our server and she was so attentive, friendly and kind!! We love it here!
Dayanelis was very attentive and sweet. Had a lovely meal, restaurant was clean and had great music to lighten the atmosphere. Food was quick and great taste. Classic Cuban style.
The service was amazing. From the time we entered the restaurant and when the food was served and throughout our dining experience. The food was delicious and everything was A+. Our waitress Osana was very attentive to us and her service was top notch. Definitely recommend Polo Norte Kendall and ask for Osana. You will not regret it!!!
Awesome! And Laura makes anyone feel sooooo welcome and important. The food was really good. The environment is very clean, comfortable, and secure. Every single person is treating you like you're the most important person in their life there. Starting from the parking lot, through the dining room, tables, and ending in the restrooms, everything is designed to make you feel so good. You can't help but come back as soon as possible to enjoy the delicious meal and treating of everyone there. My blessings and my THANX AGAIN! Ask for Laura as soon as you get there. She'll be checking on you for anything you need, all the time. She'll be offering the best options from the menu. She'll be asking if you have kids to recommend the best price and food for your loved ones. She won't disappoint you. As a matter of fact, nobody there will. Thank you so much for your service. You made my day better.
Atmosphere and staff were great! Laura was very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone!
Food is always good. Good price, and good amount of food. And the service is always amazing.
Gilma was amazing! We are pargo and a pizza and they were absolutely delicious. Very clean space, the staff is attentive and pleasant.
The best server by far at this place!! Her name is Dayanelis She’s super efficient and has outstanding customer service!!
My dinner was great thank you so much Yeimy . Great service
Loved this place. Excellent food and service, Yeimy was our server and she was extremely professional.
I’ve been coming to this restaurant on a semi-regular basis, and every time I’m here, it’s a reminder of why I keep coming back. The food is consistently excellent - clearly prepared with care and skill, so compliments to the chef for delivering both flavor and quality every time. This time, I was served by Tahimi, and she was absolutely wonderful—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful in her service. She made the experience feel personal, and you can tell she takes pride in making guests feel welcome. I’ve also been served by several other members of the staff on previous visits, and the level of professionalism and hospitality across the board really speaks to a strong and well-led team. Management deserves credit for building and maintaining a place that runs this smoothly while still feeling inviting and relaxed. Highly recommend both the food and the people here, you’ll leave full and smiling.
We had an awesome time celebrating our niece’s birthday! Malena is an amazing server!
Gilma R gave great attention, super sweet and always let us know when our food was ready. 10/10
The best food all the time. Lili very nice server. Thank you
Delicious food, family type atmosphere, and the service was great! Tronchos de pescado with rice and black beans is the perfect go-to, would definitely come back!
I have to be honest, I decided to do the review because after more than 2 years without visiting Polo Norte, I left the one place pleased with the service and the food. We were a big party, 15 people to be exact, including 6 kids. As expected the kids did not behave very well but the staff was really kind about that. It helped that we asked to be seated outside. The food was really good, kids had pizza, elders had palomilla with rice and beans, I ordered a frita cubana, that in my opinion is the best in Miami, we also ordered cuban sandwich, and vaca frita de pollo. Of course we ordered milkshakes and of course the antojitos, we loved that plate. All the food was good, well cooked and with excellent flavor.
. The quality of the food excellent, and the service top. Also, innovative
Jeimy was amazing, her recommendation were great. They serve a lot of food so you can share every plate.
I come here often. The food is always good and the milkshakes are amazing. If you like Cuban Pizza, or Cuban food in general, you have to come here.
Dayanelis was a fantastic waitress/host! Food was great, service was great, overall excellent experience. :)
The food is great. The environment is wonderful with nice music. Clean and quick service. The waiters are very nice

Dayanelis provided excellent service and the food was superb. Definitely a great experience. Overall was amazing. Thank you Dayanelis.
Ireilis was incredibly friendly and attentive! My family and I came for breakfast, and it was both delicious and a great value. We truly enjoyed our experience!
During our recent visit to Polo Norte in Kendall, we were absolutely delighted with our meal experience! As visitors from Ontario, Canada, we were seeking a taste of Cuba, and this charming restaurant truly transported us there. The flavors of the food were incredible, especially the congri and carnita asada paired with boniato frito, which were nothing short of delicious. The customer service was exceptional; the staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The cozy and quiet environment allowed us to fully enjoy our meal and soak in the ambiance. Overall, Polo Norte exceeded our expectations and made our Miami trip even more memorable. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Cuban cuisine!

Food was great!! Ordered Bistec Uruguayo and a fried whole snapper. Both plates were delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing with soft music and outside seating. Our server Yeimy was very attentive. Will definitely be back.
Amazing place, service and food. Extremely convenient location and the overall atmosphere is very cozy, feels so familiar like home. The food was amazing in flavor, and the portions amazing. All the servers and staff are very kind and friendly. The place is extremely clean and well decorated
I went to Polo Norte Kendall just to get a pizza for my daughter and end up getting a delicious fish in a tomato sauce that was that day’s special and Ileana recommended along with a very tasting garbanzos soup. Food was outstanding but the service from Ileana is what really made the difference. Will come back for sure
Love Polo Norte for lunch or dinner. Is a happy family place. Food is amazing. I have been visiting this restaurant for years and always satisfy with the food and service. The waiters are all wonderful. Today we had TAHIMI excellent customer service.
I had a great experience at Polo Norte thanks to Dayanelis A. She provided excellent customer service, was very friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my visit. She made sure everything went smoothly and truly went above and beyond to help. I highly recommend asking for Dayanelis if you visit Polo Norte!
This place is best . The staff and Manager are excellent . I was just there for pick up order had my 4 year old daughter with me , I got to car and getting her in the car dropped my two shakes. I went back in to order them and pay for them. A waiter from out side area came and told me I just told manager to make you two more I saw they fell it’s hard managing the food and getting your daughter in car. I offered to pay for them and they would not have it. This is true customer service and hospitality. My thanks to the manager and waiter they have truly made our night.
We’ve gone together as a family multiple times and we have always been taken care of by Dayanelis. She’s an amazing waitress and always remembers and welcomes us when we come back, it’s a pleasure to dine here with her! The food is great, and any questions about the Menu she has you covered. This isn’t a paid review, our family genuinely loves dining here.
My family and I have been going to Polo Norte for many years! We love the Cuban pizza and spaghetti. There are tons of specials. The ice creams are yummy too! This location has expanded to fit more seating, indoors and outdoors. The servers are very kind. Mirianely served us and she gave exceptional service. The only area of improvement would be that at times the bread can be served cold.
I would highly recommend this particular Polo Norte 🐻❄️ 🍕 to anyone who is looking for not only high quality food, but also excellent service and a friendly atmosphere. In addition to offering a very "homey" outdoor seating area with numerous decorative plants, it's the way you are welcomed and treated, that makes you want to come back, even before you've even tried the food (kind of like that well-known song from the television series CHEERS that talked about going to a place where "every knows your name" and "is very glad you came"). I, personally, have had a wonderful experience with everyone there. Roberto, the manager in the early shift, is wonderful...and in particular three young ladies (Ireilys, Ileana and Mayelin) offer a kind of service that is, in my opinion, unsurpassed. They are hard-working, very diligent, friendly, and extremely devoted to making sure you not only get exactly what you are looking for...but also...that any expectations you came to 🐻❄️🍕, are even exceeded. What else can I say?--other than when I am looking for a place to relax, unwind, have a good time, enjoy good food and feel like you have become "part of their family", El Polo Norte 🐻❄️🍕 de Kendall is DEFINITELY my place to go!
Food is awesome, authentic Cuban. Service, Taimí is really kind, all questioned answered, no plate took longer than 5 min to get to our table. Ambient is comfortable, nice salsa music. Experience was perfect
I come here often with my mom, and it’s always a treat. We absolutely love the ham lasagna and the ham pizza, both are favorites every time we visit. The croquetas de bacalao are also a great choice to start the meal. On our most recent visit, Dayanelis was our server, and she was wonderful, super attentive, sweet, and made the experience even better.

Hoy visitamos Polo Norte y tuvimos una experiencia excelente. La comida estuvo deliciosa, con buen sabor, buenas porciones y todo llegó a tiempo y bien presentado. Pero lo mejor fue la atención de Gilma, nuestra mesera. Desde que llegamos fue amable, atenta y muy profesional. Nos recomendó platos, estuvo pendiente de la mesa sin ser invasiva, y siempre con una actitud cordial y una sonrisa. 🫶✨ Gracias Gilma por hacer nuestra experiencia aún mejor. Sin duda regresaremos. 💯
Una comida deliciosa, los jugos de mangos los mejores que me he tomado y la atención de parte de Hosanna fue maravillosa, muy atenta, amable, pasó varias veces por la mesa para asegurarse que todo esta bien, este lugar es uno de mis preferidos, lo recomiendo 100%
The breakfast at Polo Norte was super good, as was the young woman (Ireilys) who served us. I only have one suggestion for the owners: move the gardening/landscaping work to the days the restaurant is closed. There was quite a bit of noise and a smell of gasoline. Everything else about the restaurant was perfect!
I used to go to the Polo Norte in Hialeah from my house - which is pretty far away. These days the quality is horrible and inconsistent (the Kendall store) I order extra cheese and do not even get the amount of cheese I used to get for a regular cheese pizza. The same thing happens with the Flagler store. One day, It was awesome. The next time - horrible!
We always like to eat at El Polo Norte. Last night the food was not at its best. The pork looked like it had been cooked 10 hours prior and had no taste at all. The palomilla steak had no flavor either. Plantains were excellent and so was the white rice. I hope that this was just a one time bad experience. I wish El Polo Norte the very best and many more years of good service.
Family Size pizza have decrease in size. Also the quality of the pizza have change tremendously. I have been going to this place for the past 12 years. The pizza used to be well cooked. The pizza does not have the cheese crust, some of the slices have uneven amount of toppings and lack of cheese. Definitely they need to keep up with the quality they once had.
Better than the first couple of times I have gone. I always get the masitas de puerco. $17 the yuca hervida was well made. Flagler location tastes better id say. This time the food was better than what I've remembered. Its been a couple of years since I came to this location. 4 adults 1 child. 6 croquetas, 5 meals, 1 soda, 1 shake. 130ish with tip. Good service.
I don't write reviews, but my family was baffled about how terrible this server was. Gilma R. was supposed to be our waitress and someone else had to cover for her, Dayanelis (best ever!!) because Gilma was sitting with some other people and scrolling through her phone and taking pictures. At first we thought she was just helping, but then she goes and sits down and scrolls through the phone. Mind you, he ordered our food and drank our water and she still didn't bring the appetizer. Her excuse was that someone else is supposed to bring it out, but her responsibility is to attend the table. She never refilled the water or never asked if we needed anything. We had to ask someone else for my dad's food since it seemed like she forgot. Gilma R. sucks and honestly I don't care for your "miles disculpas," el trabajo es dar servicio, no sentarte con una amiguita para chimiar. And then, she goes to say "but it was the kid's birthday." You have others to attend to, my dad has been working hard on a Sunday and he deserves to eat something nice and be treated nice, not ignored. She has no ethics or morals. Dayanelis is awesome, she actually apologized and was very attentive offering if we wanted anything else, picked up after Gilma's table. Honestly, if it wasn't for Dayanelis, I don't think my dad would have gotten any food since it really seemed like she forgot, after almost an hour, you start to wonder!
I would not recommend eating here. I ordered this food to go. My son started eating the chicken and I noticed that it was raw. I took the chicken away from him after he had already eaten a piece. I then opened the rest of the chicken to check it and it was completely raw. I called the store only to be told the manager was in a meeting and that he would call me back. I never received a call back. This is unacceptable and really concerning as someone can get really sick consuming raw chicken.
The fried beef smelled and tasted sour and old. I actually think that restaurant has gone downhill a lot in its service, and the chefs are not very professional. This was the second time something similar happened to me because last week I ordered a pizza, and it was undercooked. I won’t recommend it anymore.
The worst service I've ever had in my life. The girl who served us didn't even know the restaurant's opening hours and told us the kitchen was closing in two minutes, which wasn't true. The restaurant closes at 11:30 pm on Saturdays. Then, when we went to place our order, she became incredibly rude to my husband. If you're going to work in customer service, the first thing you need to do is respect the customer.
Es lamentable el mal servicio que tiene esta pizzería. Estoy en mi horario de Lunch pedí mi almuerzo para que me llegara a tiempo y me envían unos spaguetty quemados , recalentados con un queso que parece q lo quitaron de una pizza y me lo tiraron encima . Pido hablar con el manager , este señor llamado Roberto se cree q pidiendo una disculpa resuelve su problemas ,después de decirme q ahí no se recalienta comida es decir estoy diciendo mentiras . No encuentra una solución para ayudarme al parecer no está apto para resolver un pequeño inconveniente . Le digo que por favor me envíe otro spaguetty y me dice q NO , q pase y recoja mi dinero . Una compañía tan grande no puede enviar un spaguetty que falta de respeto . En fin me quedé sin almorzar. Adjunto las fotos

# Polo Norte Restaurant - Kendall: Un Destino Culinario en el Corazón de Miami
Miami, una ciudad vibrante y multicultural, es un mosaico de sabores y experiencias que deleitan a locales y visitantes por igual. En el corazón de su expansión suburbana, el barrio de Kendall emerge como un epicentro de vida familiar, actividad comercial y, por supuesto, una rica oferta gastronómica. Dentro de este dinámico panorama, establecimientos como Polo Norte Restaurant - Kendall se erigen como pilares de la comunidad, ofreciendo más que solo comida: brindan un pedazo de cultura, tradición y un punto de encuentro para todos.
Ubicado estratégicamente en 13901 SW 42nd St, Miami, FL 33175, EE. UU., Polo Norte Restaurant - Kendall se posiciona como un referente en la escena culinaria de la zona. Aunque cada restaurante tiene su propia identidad, en un barrio tan arraigado en la diversidad cultural como Kendall, un establecimiento con este nombre y ubicación suele evocar una propuesta gastronómica que resuena profundamente con la herencia latinoamericana que define gran parte del sur de Florida. Este artículo se adentrará en la experiencia que un lugar así promete, explorando su contexto en Kendall, la esencia de su probable oferta culinaria y su papel como centro social.
Para comprender la relevancia de un restaurante como Polo Norte, es fundamental sumergirse en el entorno que lo acoge: Kendall. Este extenso y populoso barrio, o más bien una serie de comunidades interconectadas en el suroeste de Miami-Dade, se ha transformado de tierras agrícolas a un próspero y codiciado suburbio. Kendall es conocido por su ambiente familiar, sus excelentes escuelas, amplias zonas verdes y una infraestructura de servicios completa que lo convierte en un lugar ideal para vivir y trabajar.
La historia de Kendall se remonta a principios del siglo XX, cuando fue fundado y nombrado en honor a Henry John Kendall, un agente de tierras de Florida East Coast Railway. Originalmente una región agrícola, su crecimiento exponencial comenzó a mediados del siglo XX, impulsado por la expansión de Miami y la búsqueda de espacios más grandes y tranquilos fuera del bullicio del centro de la ciudad. Hoy en día, Kendall es un crisol de culturas, con una notable influencia hispana que se manifiesta en su idioma, música, arte y, por supuesto, su gastronomía.
La infraestructura de Kendall es robusta. Sus principales arterias, como Kendall Drive (SW 88th Street), Bird Road (SW 42nd Street, donde se encuentra Polo Norte) y Sunset Drive (SW 72nd Street), están bordeadas de centros comerciales, boutiques, oficinas y una plétora de restaurantes. La proximidad a importantes autopistas como la Ronald Reagan Turnpike y la Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) asegura una excelente conectividad con el resto del condado de Miami-Dade, incluyendo el Aeropuerto Internacional de Miami y las playas.
El ambiente de Kendall es una mezcla de tranquilidad suburbana y dinamismo urbano. Sus parques, como Kendall Indian Hammocks Park y Tropical Park, ofrecen amplias oportunidades para actividades al aire libre, desde senderismo y ciclismo hasta deportes en equipo y picnics familiares. La presencia de instituciones educativas de prestigio y centros de salud de primer nivel, como el Baptist Hospital of Miami y el Kendall Regional Medical Center, añade a su atractivo como un lugar para establecerse. Es en este entorno de comunidad, diversidad y vida activa donde un restaurante como Polo Norte encuentra su nicho, ofreciendo un refugio culinario que atiende a los gustos y necesidades de sus residentes.
Dado el nombre "Polo Norte" y la ubicación en Miami con su fuerte herencia cubana y latina, es plausible inferir que el restaurante se especializa en una propuesta gastronómica que celebra la riqueza de la cocina caribeña y latinoamericana, con un énfasis particular en los sabores cubanos. Este tipo de establecimientos son fundamentales en la cultura de Miami, sirviendo como embajadores de una tradición culinaria que es a la vez reconfortante y exótica.
La cocina cubana es famosa por su fusión de influencias españolas, africanas y caribeñas, resultando en platos robustos, sabrosos y llenos de carácter. Los restaurantes que abrazan esta tradición suelen ofrecer una variedad de opciones para cada momento del día, desde desayunos contundentes hasta cenas memorables.
Desayunos: Una mañana en un restaurante de este estilo podría comenzar con un clásico cafecito (un espresso dulce y fuerte) o un colada (varias porciones de cafecito para compartir), acompañados de tostadas cubanas con mantequilla. Otros favoritos incluyen los huevos revueltos con jamón o chorizo, o quizás un sándwich de tortilla (omelette) en pan cubano. Estos desayunos no solo son deliciosos, sino que también son una parte intrínseca de la rutina diaria en Miami.
Almuerzos y Cenas: El menú principal es donde la cocina cubana realmente brilla. Los comensales pueden esperar una amplia selección de platos principales, conocidos como "platos fuertes", que son el corazón de la gastronomía cubana.
Estos platos suelen ir acompañados de guarniciones esenciales que completan la experiencia:
Sándwiches Cubanos: Un capítulo aparte merecen los sándwiches, íconos de la cocina cubana. El más famoso es el Sándwich Cubano, una deliciosa combinación de jamón, lechón asado, queso suizo, pepinillos y mostaza, prensado y tostado hasta que el queso se derrite y el pan está crujiente. Otros sándwiches populares incluyen el Medianoche (similar al cubano pero en pan de medianoche más dulce) y el Pan con Bistec.
Postres: Para cerrar la comida, los postres cubanos ofrecen una dulzura reconfortante. El Flan (un postre de crema de huevo caramelizado) es un clásico infaltable, junto con el Tres Leches (un bizcocho empapado en tres tipos de leche) y los Cascos de Guayaba con Queso Crema.
Bebidas: Además del café, las bebidas suelen incluir jugos naturales de frutas tropicales (mango, guayaba, mamey, tamarindo), batidos (licuados de frutas con leche) y refrescos locales como la Materva o Jupiña.
En un restaurante como Polo Norte, el ambiente es tan importante como la comida. Se esperaría un espacio acogedor, familiar y quizás con un toque de la estética caribeña o cubana, con colores cálidos, música suave y un sentido de comunidad. Estos lugares a menudo buscan recrear la sensación de un hogar cubano, donde la comida es abundante y la hospitalidad es primordial.
El servicio suele ser atento y cercano. El personal, acostumbrado a una clientela diversa, se esfuerza por hacer que cada comensal se sienta bienvenido, ya sea un cliente habitual o un recién llegado.
