Madero

Sensacional!!! Comida excelente, ambiente muito gostoso, atendimento impecável!!! TOP!!!

The permanent sign states «Best Burger in the World» so we waited 5 minutes for the establishment to open to enjoy some «good» food. What a disappointment. The burgers were all over cooked, the bacon was floppy, and the bread was stale. Overall the flavor was unappetizing and personally inedible.
Aside from the food the service was terrible, sexist comments about beer for men and a cocktails for the ladies by 2 different wait staff. We are very friendly to waitstaff, it’s no easy gig, but these guys were a joke. No one checked on us. Drinks took too long to be brought out. We were obviously unhappy, but no one tried to make it right. This is a money making scheme, not a quality reputable restaurant. Go elsewhere. There are great options very close by, such as Deco Sandwiches and Burgers on Washington Ave. I won’t waste my time or money here again.

Amazing!!! Try it! The pastel iis delicious! And also the caipirinha! You have to try!

My lamb burger was meh at best. Plus, I ordered medium and it came well-​done, on a soft bun which was crusty. The service was nice (which is what got it the extra star).
Certainly overpriced and not living up to the best-​burger-​in-​the-​world claim.
Mostly, a disappointment. Won’t be coming back or recommending.

I don’t normally do this, because I find myself to be a professional Unilocaler, but I found this restraunt to be a real head shaker and base my review soley on this one interaction. The outside of the building has a permanently posted sign claiming, «the best burger in the world «. I had never been here before and know nothing of the place. I asked a staff member why the business deserved this permanent ranking. Her response, «uh… I don’t know. I guess the meat?» I didn’t have the energy to press her further. I didn’t order the burger and don’t desire to try it.
If you make a claim, especially one you have permanently drilled to the wall of your building, educate your staff as to why you feel you deserve it please

my wife and I stayed on Ocean Dr. and wanted to find a place nearby, we stumbled on this place for dinner, drinks. We elected to seat at the bar. We ordered some apps, skirt steak skewers and I had lamb chops. Both were delicious. My wife and I are chardonnay fans and recently back from Napa trip. We were delighted to see Madero had our favorite chard-​Rombauer. We followed many of the food recommendations by the bartender, Orlando Alonso. He was candid about what was best choice
. He also had a great sense of humor and was a joy to chat with. I highly recommend Mandero.

We had a wonderfull time at Madero, The Burger was fantastic, for shore the Best in the world! The staff gave us a very personnal attention, specially cheff Laysa, who we would like to thanks one more time! For shore a better option at Ocean Drive.

Burgers were good — we tried both a regular cheeseburger and a lamb cheeseburger — but certainly not the best in the world. We were there at an off peak time (5 p.m.), and the wait staff was pretty inattentive. The side of fries was good, but the portion was skimpy. Oh, and we had to ask for silverware, even though one of us ordered a side salad. We won’t be going back.

What is MADERO?
«M» is for «Marketing». Madero is located in South Beach and every Brazilian within a 5 mile radius will try this place out within the next few weeks just based on the fact that it’s a new Brazilian spot and they have been starring at the «Coming Soon» signs for months. Also, don’t forget the tourists that will flock there because it’s located in the prime tourist trap district of South Beach, 14 and Ocean.
«A» is for «Advertising» and the efforts to get you in the door. «The best burger» tactic and «Brazilian Steakhouse» is why we decided to order in the first place, kudos! Using words like «best» will set the bar very high, so while this tactic got us to order in the first place, unfortunately, the food just did not live up to «the best» standards and was quite frankly, very far from it.
«D» is for Don’t, as in don’t waste your money. Don’t be fooled by Madero’s gateway burger pricing of $ 13 because the rest of the menu is quite pricy. Our Picanha came with a very hefty price tag, 60% fat, cooked medium well and in some places burnt on the ends and rare on the inside. The portions were very tiny. Even the white rice was poorly executed! Who doesn’t know how to cook rice?!! It’s white rice! Major upset.
«E» is for «Eat in», our experience was a total take out failure. Maybe, had we dined in versus taking out, we could’ve sent our poorly cooked and overly fatty meat back for an attempt to be cooked properly. In addition, we would’ve sent back the white rice and tried a different side option as well as sent back the fries too.
«R» is for «Rare» the temperature of my steak when I ordered medium to medium rare.
«O» is for «Oil» aka what my fries tasted like. I literally felt like I took a swig of oil when I first bit into the fries. I couldn’t even eat them! Fries people! How can you mess up fries?!
Will I be going back? Probably not. I can’t justify a $ 60 price tag for the at most $ 15 price tag of a meal I was delivered. While I am sympathetic to the opening kinks a new kid on the block may encounter, the inability to not properly cook white rice, fries, and a proper temperature on a steak when you are a steakhouse is not only unforgivable but a clear indicator that this operation has not in the slightest clue what they are putting on the table.
Best of luck Madero. Drop me a line when you do an entire back of the house revamp. One of the most upsetting and buyers remorseful meals I’ve had in a long time.

Ordered a take out. The picanha was 75% fat, the meat was undercooked and the sizes were small. Ordered $ 60 worth of food and wasn’t enough to feed one person.
Never ordering again

Good burgers. Service was excellent. People watching outstanding!
Caipirinhas were wonderful. They have them in a variety of flavors but we stuck with traditional lime. If you’ve never had one try it! Sort of like a mojito but made with cachaca liqueur. A traditional Brazilian (?) cocktail.
We tried a couple appetizers: wings and meat pastels. Wings are served plain with two sauces. Caesar and Buffalo. And so nice and crispy. Both sauces were tasty. The meat pastels reminded me of French Canadian tortiere in mini deep fried flaky versions. Ground beef very simply seasoned in a nice little pastry. Very bland alone but I enjoyed them with the wing sauces.
The burgers were good. Not the best we’ve had but still good. Prepared to temp. All but one were asked to be done medium rare and came out pink and warm in the middle. There’s a choice of soft or crispy for the bun. Both are nice. Lettuce was a bit wilty and tomatoes very small. An aoli mayo is served alongside the burger and it was tasty.
The fries were hot and delicious.
Very good. I just can’t give it five stars since their claim is for the best burger and I’m afraid I’ve had better.
But I definitely recommend!

Excellent. Been here twice in 24 hours. The burgers and A+. Service is spot on. This is high end in the heart of the action with out the El crazy prices. Come here. You’ll love it. Takes a lot to impress me. I like this place a lot.

Omg best burger best meat yummy yummy please request the dulce de leche mouse you will not regretted you may request the mini which I think is the best

A fantastic restaurant and one you do not want to miss. #baconcheeseburger is the way to go with an ice cold draft beer. Ask for Chris and JoJo — amazing spirt of the restaurant.

We definately found a hidden secret with this steakhouse. This is very reasonably priced and the best steaks. You can not go wrong with this place. This place has only been open for 3 weeks and has the best service food and staff, from the Hostess, Chef Andres (from Brazil) and Jerusa (Mgr). Great experience!!!

Best restaurant ever!!! From burgers to steaks and dessert. I recommend the dessert that looks like a flan with raspberry sauce and the picaña steak. Omg the burger is out of this world. The service is kind and caring. I have gone almost every week. I love this place. One can sit inside or outside. For drink choose Baileys (white drink), a lady in red or a cosmopolitan.

This place was amazing from the food, atmosphere and great staff. I’ve already been here twice and will be back again soon!
The waiters are very attentive and make sure what you order is done perfect. The food is great quality! I went with my family so was able to taste a little bit of everything and was not disappointed with a single thing! They also offer happy hour which is great since it’s right on ocean drive, it’s hard to come by such awesome specials. This place recently opened but already made me a loyal customer. If you’re in the area or want some delicious, great quality, reasonably priced food then Madero is the place for you.

My first time eating at the new Madero Restaurant on the North end of Ocean Drive and 14^th for lunch.
I want to give THE DOUBLE BURGER WITH BACON… 5 *****‘s.
The quality of the meat in taste, texture and size surpassed my expectation compared to the burgers I eat regularly at known Miami steakhouses. The this burger is equivalent to slapping the meat from a large bone in rib eye between to warm buns and eating it with your hands. It is that good. Or at least the double like I had.
Is it the Best? Everyone is different and entitled to there own opinion. Also, with todays burger trends and options you find creative recipes with some different seasoning and garnishes. If you follow my social media you will see that I love posting burgers and this one I will Instagram as well.
But this one has to be one of The Best I have tried when it comes to keeping the integrity of remaining classic with a real grill flavor, bacon and cheese with the right size bun that doesn’t out shine the meat. Here, meat is king.
I will return soon for dinner and try the steak.
P. S., Location, design and service was good. For me, all I care for is the food.

What a waste of space! Because I live 100 yards from this location I was eagerly watching and waiting for its opening. Today we took the plunge and wished we hadn’t. We ordered 2 burgers medium-​rare. We actually like them true medium — with warm pink centers — but when we are unsure of a place we order them rarer to prevent overcooked leatherburgers. Well the feared leatherburgers duly arrived. My wife choose to gnaw at hers but I sent mine back. It was eventually replaced by one that was totally cold and raw, something normally seen only on a butcher’s slab and not on a restaurant’s plate. And when the bill arrived they tried to charge for the burger until I pointed out it was uneaten and inedible. These people better shape up when they are just a couple of doors away from BLT and the very best burger in 33 139 and just 75 yards from Quality Meats which also does a very good one. If you want that fabulous BLT burger you need to get your order in before 6 PM when their lunch menu ends because BLT does not offer burgers for dinner. Burger lovers on a budget and who don’t need a variety of side dishes should just walk 2 short blocks over to Cheesebuger Baby on Washington Avenue @ 15^th Street.

The drinks at Madero are delicious, I tried the Madero Strawberry and Corona light draft beer in a frozen mug and my wife tried the double strained Lady in Red she loved it so much that she drank two we were there the other night for my son’s birthday we ate the Picanha Skewers and the Mini Brazilian Meat Pastels for appetizers and we followed it with the Madero Cheeseburger and the Super Madero Cheese Bacon burger it was the right temperature as requested it is the best burger in the world for sure without a doubt we ate every bite :) we finished off our dinner with dessert we ordered their Petit Gâteau it had a berries sauce with vanilla ice cream that we devoured all we could say was wowwww… we will definitely be back with friends and their friends will tell their friends about the awesome décor, ambience, great service and all around warm family feeling Madero has thanks to the staff and owner, they have customers for years to come… give them a visit you will love it.

Attended the media dinner thanks to Liza from Creativas Group Public Relations. The restaurant is casual but classy. Service was great, our water glasses never went empty. Food was delicious!
Atmosphere was young and vibrant.

Omg! Love love love! Seriously u don’t even eat much meat on the daily base, but their burgers are THE BEST! I’m familiar with the concept from Brasil, we here they are very popular. This is their first US location. I just had lunch there and already making plans to return! I usually order the signature Madero Hamburger and of course delicious fruit caipirinhas to go with!
