Dona Paulina: Authentic Latin American Steaks and Vegetarian Delights in Miami

I saw this place on my way to Tropical Park and decided to stop in around 5:30PM... I was surprised it had been there for over 20 years since I frequent the Columbian (Pueblito Viejo) place next door. I was even more surprised that it is a family restaurant connected with "Don Davis" which I used to frequent at NW 12 street and 78 Ave several years ago. Don Davis also had his own Spanish cooking show too. The interior is nice, relaxing and comfortable. Decor is definitely Latin steakhouse with stacked wine bottles and a small stage for performances. We were promptly seated and the lady was very kind and knowledgeable. There were only a few other people there, but can see that this place gets busy very quickly... We order suages as appetizer (great) and two good portioned churrasco's both cooked perfectly. Chimichurri is very good as are the sides (morros and potato salad). We also order a side of fried yuca, but didn't care for the dunking sauce, but we used the chimichurri instead. For desert we were offered a Uruguayan specialty, but decided to try the Tiramisu. We choose poorly, the Tiramisu was dry and tasteless... almost like it was old! We are adding this place to our list of local restaurants to frequent and will definitely come again and try other items on the menu.

Came here before Winterland with the kids. We're so happy we did. The food was amazing, we ordered baby churrasco for the kids. They loved it. I ordered a chicken fettuccine with Rosada sauce and it was phenomenal. Great amount of sauce and chicken. Also, their sangria was great!

We found this Uruguayan restaurant in the middle of Bird Road and ordered different beef cuts (entraña, picaña, rib eye,...), sausages and their chaja. The food was ok, we would come back to taste the milanesa and empanadas. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was 90s like.

Doña Paulina, I’ve been coming to this restaurant for 20 years and I’ve always been very pleased. The parrillada is delicious! The house salad comes with a side of Russian salad and it’s always so fresh—we order it every time. The provoleta is one of the best, and my children love the milanesas with fried egg . A good sangria is never missing, and to top it all off, the chajá for dessert is like the cherry on top! Mari es la mejor

What a hidden Gem, nice staff little cozy place had no idea they have shows, and live music, we went Saturday night 7 pm and we where lucky to get a table because ppl reserved them for the show . Food was amazingly great la parrillada for two it’s huge , the sangria was delicious great service and so much fun. I’ll be coming back again!!!! Keep the great work

Great restaurant variety of meals, sandwiches,Burguers,Pizza, meat,chicken and more try the uruguayan dessert Chaja , sponge,sweet filled with peach merengue and dulce de leche.

What a great experience!! I booked a party of 15 last minute for my mom’s birthday and they went above and beyond to make our experience amazing. The staff was so sweet to us and the food was delicious!! And they play live music in the evening which is always a great plus. 10/10 would recommend. I’m so happy to find this little hole in the wall. Will DEFINITELY be back!!

Great place to eat overall. Very nice ambiance, great service and amazingly delicious food. Highly recommend!
