El Desembarco Miami Beach - Restaurant in Miami Beach - 7315 Collins Ave, USA

First time going to El Desembarco and it was excellent! The Empanadas and Tequeños are worth it for appetizers. The Boedo burger is very flavorful. From Monday to Thursday if you order a burger they will add french fries for the same price. The ambiance is very cozy, it’s small but comfy at the same time. Definitely a place that is worth visiting if you are around the area.

The General Belgrano Burger was incredible! Highly recommend! Great staff!!

Great burger and beer spot!! We were hungry and dropped by. The staff were really nice, place was clean, and the food and beers were great. Definitely will be back!!

You would think an Argentinian place that brags about the best burger in town would have sports on TV. Instead, they have five TV screens I just advertise their hamburgers. Meanwhile, Boca juniors is playing live, we got NFL games, so we had to go somewhere else to watch sports. A real Order the new place would have sports on TV.

This is the best, yet messiest burger I’ve ever eaten 😄

I was told some of the best burgers in town. So we decided to stop in and see for ourselves.

My wife encouraged me to go in and the manager was at the front and very welcoming. The burgers we chose were delicious, delivered by a super friendly and helpful Milena.

This place is not it. I live in the area and wanted to try this place based on the reviews but it’s a mistake I won’t make again. Mediocre food for a lot of money. I’ll go into detail for the benefit of the restaurant and patrons. I sat down and ordered a regular coke to a gentleman taking my order. He proceeded to give me a Diet Coke, which is no big deal, I’ll just let them know the mistake so he can correct it. Except I can’t, because as soon as he dropped off the soda, he went outside and was pretty much not seen again. Keep in mind the restaurant is empty except for my table at this point on a Saturday night (should have been a hint). Another lady working there finally walks by and I tell her the mistake, she promptly walks a outside to talk to the first server and then goes to get me another drink. She comes back with ANOTHER Diet Coke. When I tell her I ordered a regular coke she looks at me like I’m trying to prank her or something and says “uhh but the first server said that’s what you ordered.” It doesn’t matter what the first server said, he got it wrong so why are you just not listening to me? Please note this is not a language barrier issue, I speak fluent English and Spanish. On the third try, we finally get the regular coke. None of this is the end of the world but it keeps going. I ordered a burger (Hercules) with fries and a side of cheese. Burger is mediocre, not better than any decent chain and there are probably about 3 other better burger places in walking distance. Fries came but without the side of cheese so I had to ask for it again. Which was a mistake because to me it was just canned cheese wiz that they charge a dollar for. Even if it wasn’t, I don’t know how any self-respecting Argentinian establishment would serve this “cheese”. The fries were decent but the seasoning was bland. I eat my food and I’m ready to go, except again, both servers keep going outside for some reason to the point that the restaurant is totally empty except for my table for long stretches at a time. At no point was I asked if I wanted a refill on soda or water or even just to sell me something else. Here’s come the bill though. The waitress comes with the point of sale and I ask her if the tip is included (like most Miami restaurants) and she tells me “no” to my face without going into any detail. The machine defaults to 10, 15, 20% tip and I tip 15% despite everything because that’s what society conditions us to do and maybe they just had an off day. She prints the bill for me and there was already a 15% service charge added to the bill and I added another 15% on top of that. So I just paid 30% over the menu prices. What is the service charge, if not the tip? Are we expected to pay 30+% over advertised prices now? If the service charge is part of the restaurant upkeep just add that to the menu prices, restaurants act like they are spirit airlines now. The total for ONE burger, ONE order of fries, and ONE drink comes out to $37. I can recommend you about 50 sit down restaurants in Miami that serve much more than just burgers for that price. It’s not about being cheap, it’s about being fair. Overall, I don’t see this place staying open for very long but I hope the team can improve. At this moment in time, I cannot recommend this place and will not be coming back.
