Why Travelers Love Dolores But

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.8 / 5.0(11,654 reviews)

What an experience!!! We came to celebrate my friend’s 40th birthday, and another native highly recommended Dolores (but you can call me Lolita) for the Oxtail Tacos I’d been craving — and they did not disappoint! The tacos were tender, flavorful, and absolutely worth the hype. I also ordered the Lobster Bisque, and the way they served it was such a cool and creative touch. Our servers Tania and Diana, along with the host Pamela, were all amazing — friendly, attentive, and full of great energy. I highly recommend asking for any of them when you visit! The atmosphere was upscale yet casual, with a beautiful, modern aesthetic and plenty of photo-worthy spots. Perfect for a night out, celebrations, or just treating yourself to something special. Highly recommend this place — you’ll love it! We went for brunch and it is a must do. Everything we had was delicious. The cornbread is a must. The chicken Milanese with the chorizo gravy was incredible. The atmosphere is perfect for small or large groups. Definitely a vibe and will be back! We are visiting Miami and came down to Brickell area. This place looked very interesting, had a weekend happy hour. Everything we ordered was good. Dayana was our excellent server and recommended great options. I had the firehouse margarita, espresso martini and my husband had the luxury martini with less mango and we shared a burger with Caesar salad. We will come back if in town again. Great rooftop experience.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Tania, and she was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a genuine smile and made us feel so welcomed. Her attention to detail was incredible—she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, checked in at just the right times, and made sure everything about our meal was perfect. What stood out the most was her kindness and professionalism. She was warm, personable, and truly cared about giving us a great experience. It’s rare to come across someone who combines such excellent service with such a positive attitude, and Tania did it effortlessly. Because of her, our dining experience went from good to unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have Tania as your server, you’re in for the best service!
