Yelper Alan C., who reviewed Hereford Grill on Aug. 24, wrote, "Everything about this place is fantastic! The rump steak (punta trasera) on a hot plate is an authentic take on Venezuelan steak. The New York is delicious as well and very moderately priced too. All the sides are phenomenal, especially the fried yuca and the palm, avocado and watercress salad. The deserts are great too...it may be one of the best deals in Miami. Don't miss it!"
