Our Story
The Flavor of the Llanos
At JH, we know how important it is to feel at home — to taste something familiar and embrace your roots. We consider the marvelous criollo flavor a treasure that the world must know.
Every weekend at our Kendall West location (13784 SW 177th Ave), we offer a 100% outdoor experience: wood-fire grilling live before you, llanero music, special shows of gaitas and drums, rustic tables — and that unmistakable smoky aroma. No cover charge. Free entry, always.
Wood-Fire Roasted
Cooked 100% the traditional way — over wood and fire. No shortcuts. The smoke and char are part of the flavor.
Live Music
Every weekend features live llanero music, gaita, and drum shows — bringing the spirit of Venezuela to Miami.
Angus Certified
We use only fresh Certified Angus Beef — tender, smoky, juicy, and full of that authentic criollo taste.
100% Outdoor
Our Kendall West location is entirely open-air. Breathe it in — the space, the smoke, the South Florida sky.

What People Say
Guest Reviews
"The meat is incredible — juicy, smoky, and perfectly charred. The live music and outdoor setting make it feel like a true llanero fiesta. We'll be back every weekend."
"Emily and Antonieta were incredibly attentive. The family atmosphere is wonderful and the food — especially the Plato Llanero — is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend."
"Authentic Venezuelan BBQ unlike anything else in Miami. The cachapa and the carne on the stick — heavenly. Seeing it roasted live in front of you adds something magical."
