Chopp Chopp

The Chopp Chopp severed at Miami Grille is a very unique signature plate. Chopp Chopp is a play of words using the slang of something made quickly "chop-chop" -and- the fact that the food is prepared with chopped lettuce and tomatoes. The key ingrediants are found from the Florida / Caribbean region or referred to as Floribbean Cuisine.


This combination plate is composed of several main elements. The base of a Chopp Chopp is rice and beans. For a more traditional Cuban style use Black Beans and White Rice. For a more Boricua Puerto Rican style, begin with Pink Beans and Yellow Rice. We also offer another variation of Cuban Fried Rice to the mix.

Now that you have decided on the base of the Chopp Chopp it is time to think about the main profile or protien. The options include a vegetarian choice Eggplant Katsu / seafood choice Mahi Mahi, or Sauteed Shrimp / Grilled Marinated Chicken or Chicken Katsu / Slow Roasted Lechon Pork or Ropa Vieja Beef / or Churrasco Steak.

Top off your Chopp Chopp with any of 7 different sauces. Some suaces work better than others depending on your main profile or protien selection. here are some great rule of thumb combinations;
  • Katsu items work best with our Caribbean BBQ sauce
  • Chimichurri is a perfect sauce with any item that is grilled
  • Citrus Chili is matched well with any seafood item
What makes the Miami Grille signature Chopp Chopp dish so unique is the presentation of the Chopped romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes covering the entire plate. The romaine lettuce is hearty enough to stand up to the rice and beans, and becomes a very refreshing ingrediant that mingles perfectly with the diced tomatoes, and highlights the main course protien. Over the years we have created a few very popular Chopp-Chopp's including the Key West Chopp - topped with Rum Soaked Cranberries and pine nuts. Churrasco Chopp with grilled marinated steak served with Chimichurri sauce and green onions.

The pricing of the Chopp Chopp will vary depending on your main protien selection and it will vary based on portion size from Lunch vs. Dinner. Dinner Chopp Chopps range between 11.50 and 15.95 Lunch time the Chopp Chopp is priced in the range of 12.95 and 9.50!
