Pamela's has long held down a spot on Bird Road as one of Miami's only Chilean restaurants. The menu runs wide — sandwiches, seafood, soups — but the empanadas are the constant on nearly every table: mostly baked, generously filled, and notably large, with a shrimp-and-cheese version that stands out among the options.
The pastel de choclo is another fixture, a corn casserole finished with a golden-brown top and loaded with chunks of tender chicken. Pair it with a frozen pisco sour, the house drink of choice here.
The dining room is casual and quiet, set up more for a relaxed family dinner or a big Sunday night meal than a scene.
