Definitely recommend this place to all. Ordered the beef empanadas and they were excellent, nicely cooked, plenty of meat. For the main course I had the carne asada and my wife had the chicken chimichurri. Both were excellent and tender and the sauce complimented the dish very well. The red beans were also tasty. The place is a little small, but I enjoyed the ambience and the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be eating here again.
Would highly recommend this place!! Everything we tried was amazing!! Definitely give this place a try - owner and staff are great!

I recently visited Fritanga, a Nicaraguan restaurant, and had a wonderful dining experience. I started with the chicken empanada, which was incredibly flavorful and had a perfectly crispy crust. The filling was well-seasoned and the portion was generous.
For my main course, I ordered the Bistec encebollado, a sirloin steak marinated in a delicious mojo criollo. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and the flavors from the garlic, herbs, and spices were mouthwatering. The steak was topped with slow-cooked caramelized onions, adding a touch of sweetness to each bite.
The entire meal was not only delicious but also very hearty. The portion sizes were generous, leaving me satisfied and content. The restaurant itself was clean, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The staff members were friendly and provided excellent service, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
One aspect that stood out was the wait time, which was surprisingly short. I didn't have to wait long to be served, allowing me to enjoy my meal without any unnecessary delays.
Overall, my first visit to Fritanga was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, the place was clean, the staff was great, and the wait time was minimal. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to savor authentic Nicaraguan cuisine in a welcoming environment.
Plenty of open tables for lunch on a Friday, which was surprising because everything was excellent!! The cheese empanadas were ooey gooey and the chimichurri and vinegar-based sauces on the table paired perfectly. I got the Churrasco Nica and my cousin got the Canoa de Maduro with chicken. The food was soooo good and we definitely asked for more chimichurri to dip our sides in! Will definitely be visiting again for more of their friendly service and delicious dishes!
Octavio was a very kind and caring waiter it was our first time and he gave us really good recommendations. Fair price and quick service. Definitely will be coming again soon
The food is so delicious and packed with flavor. The service is always on point and the food come out fast. We always get the flank steak, the fried sweet plantains and beans and rice.
We loved our lunch of two appetizers from @fritanganica.stl!
Maduros con queso - sweet plantains were perfectly cooked, and this fantastic hunk of cheese was crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside.
Chichiarron de pollo - crispy, deep-fried little chicken drumsticks that came with an herb sauce and a tangy, spicy citrus sauce. Oh, and fried green plantains, too!
They were both so good!
That being said, even though there was only one other couple in the restaurant, it took about 40 minutes to get our food. Seemed kind of long to me!
Everything we had was phenomenal! Canoa de madura with chicken, pollo con chimichurri, tostones, rice and beans. Generous portions, great hot sauce, and friendly service. Will go back.
Did family style across 5 entrees and loved them all! Fried chicken was amazing as was the slow cooked shredded beef! Definitely a place to try!
Fast service, great fresh food with lots of flavor. They have some amazing authentic drinks and food. I wish I would have known my fish was going to come whole with the head on.... I typically do not like to eat whole fish but this did have good flavor.
Snagged the Red Snapper, plantains and rice and beans. Chimichurri sauce. A good ole Nicaraguan beer and their most expensive Nicaraguan rum. Everything was way above par. Going back soon
The flavoring and sauces of the dishes are excellent. I had the shrimp with this jalapeño sauce. Very good! My girl had the chicken, which I snagged a bite of and was good too!
