Sano Food South Miami

If you're in South Miami, make sure to stop by! After reading the reviews, I knew it was time to explore the side streets and visit Ana, and I'm so glad I did. Owner-operated restaurants always make a world of difference. They've updated the menu and added so many gluten-free options—thank you! The service is fantastic; it feels like visiting a relative for lunch. The food is flavorful, beautifully presented, and just as good as it looks. Highly recommend!

I was excited to try Sano Food in South Miami, but unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. I ordered a gluten-free brownie, two whole wheat chicken empanadas, and a cheese empanada to sample a variety of their offerings, but none of the items met my expectations. The empanada dough was very hard, and they were over-toasted, making them difficult to enjoy. The chicken inside was dry and tasted like it came from a rotisserie chicken that was shredded and mixed with seasoning, with a slight curry flavor. It wasn’t very appealing, and I didn’t finish them. The cheese empanada was no better—the cheese was very strong, almost like frying cheese, and not to my liking. I couldn’t finish that one either. As for the gluten-free brownie, I thought it would be a safe bet, but it tasted stale, like it came from a box mix and had been sitting out for days. It was disappointing to end my meal on that note. I spent $20 on this lunch and couldn’t finish most of it. Sadly, I won’t be returning based on this experience.
