Why Guajiros Miami Eatery?

If you need a boost in Charlottesville, head to Guajiros Miami Eatery. No place brings more joy more quickly. The bright colors, the breezy space, the pulsing soundtrack, the food, the drink, and, best of all, the infectious enthusiasm of the Mayorga family. You know how excited your dog is when a human being arrives? Walk into Guajiros, and that’s how they seem to relish the opportunity to serve each guest.

A Miami eatery celebrating the Latin-American food that the Mayorga family grew up on, Guajiros is the realization of a dream. Initially, the Nicaragua-born family opened an order-at-the-counter space in a strip mall on 29N, focusing on their mother’s time-tested cooking. When that went well, they moved downtown in 2020 to launch a full-service restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. And, in 2024, they culminated their vision by moving to their current location, adding dinner service, plus drinks in the expert hands of a Mayorga brother for whom spirits are a passion. Whoever said Disney Land is the happiest place on earth has never been to Guajiros.
