We boast of a long historical tradition that has made us the most outstanding Nicaraguan food restaurant in South Florida. Our food tradition has been built from family recipes perfected over generations.

As a family-owned business, the history of Madroño Restaurant began with a family that migrated from Nicaragua in 1986. The family spends the holidays preparing Nicaraguan heritage dishes like gallina rellena (stuffed hen) and nacatamales, all based on Abuela Maria’s recipes. Abuela Maria Mejia was the grandmother, whose recipes led to the creation of the restaurant. Abuela Maria’s descendants were paying close attention when she cooked and disclosed her oral recipes. So at the Mejias’ Madroño Restaurant, they ensure the continuity of their Nicaraguan traditions through her dishes.

With help from some relatives, the restaurant was founded and named “Madroño”, the National Tree of Nicaragua. The restaurant has become a stepping stone for the family as a family member now occupy different positions such as the children – Luis(Manager, Designer & Decorator of the Rest), Ramón (Manager and Finance Officer of the Restaurant), and Rosemary (Pastry chef). Together, they make a perfect team passionate about the success of the family restaurant.
