I understand why this spot is so popular. the food is good and reasonably priced. it's a great place to hit up after dinner or the bar and add to your belly.

This is a super cute place, and it is very small so beware. We ate outside at one of tables on a…read moreweekday afternoon. I had the tofu, fried oyster mushrooms and the green curry with shrimp. Everything came out fast and was delicious. It's definitely not the best Thai food I've ever had but I loved the service, the vibe and it fulfilled my Thai craving. This is on a busy street (street parking) and the music is quite loud inside (not conducive to having a conversation). Yet the outside area is small and the sidewalk was a bit busy too, and it was windy (napkins flying). So keep that in mind. Also not great for groups--it's too small.

I love Spanish tapas. They have Spanish tapas and a some Cuban food. CROQUETAS CREMOSAS DEL CHEF: 6 golden crispy croquettes with 2 of each: creamy jamón, cod, and spinach filling. I appreciate the variety. Hot and fresh. Delightful! 4.5/5 TOSTA DE JAMON: Warm toasted bread with melted mozzarella and savory serrano ham. Very simple but very pleasant mouthfeel and flavor. 4/5 PULPO A LA GALLEGA: Tender Galician octopus over soft potatoes with smoked paprika and olive oil. I love octopus. They have another octopus dish but I like grilled octopus a bit more. Tender and not chewy. Delicious! The potatoes were very filling. 4/5 BOCATA DE VACA FRITA: Juicy flank steak, caramelized onions and crispy potatoes on pressed Cuban bread. The bread was crunchy but soft on the inside. The potato sticks added more crunch. Very tasty. 4/5 GUAVA JUICE: Refreshing, natural-tasting. No added sugar. 4/5 They have outdoor and indoor seating. I prefer air conditioning vs Miami summer heat. Service was great.

Next time I will choose the caesar salad, which is phenomenal. My entree which was the chicken paella was so good. The chicken had such great flavor. Truly, the best. It tastes like it is fire grilled but I do not know for sure. The churros are really tasty. I prefer the caramel sauce to the chocolate sauce. It is addicting.

I came for the World Cup final game and it was so packed that I was in disbelief when the hostess found me a small table all the way in the back with unobstructed view of one of the TVs. Anyways, the Serrano ham croquettes are one of their specialties so I don't have to elaborate on that because I'm sure most of you have already tried them. They just melt in your mouth and you end up ordering more, right? RIGHT. The same goes for the Spanish omelette. One of their signature dishes and one they do really well here. Now as far as the cochinillo hash, I had mixed feelings about it. Take the potatoes and poached egg out of the equation, the braised shredded pork was either overcooked or maybe even burned a little. It was super dry and if it weren't for the egg I think I would have not been able to eat even half of it. It had a bitter after taste. Maybe I should've said something but it was too hectic in there to say the least. Perhaps I should've give it another chance. Ended with their famous and arguably one of the most delicious churros in town and it was all washed down with their refreshing red sangria.

It ruined our experience as we were clearly there for HH and had ordered them (it was 4:30pm, come on, no one's at this wine bar for an ultra exclusive wine experience at this hour but ok!!). We got our checks and left, it wasn't worth sticking around for more. (Ps no one cares but the guy proceeded to order mezcal neat and the female ordered a martini- both of whom asked for things to doctor their drinks up bc the ordered were attempts to impress each other.. not bc they had "elevated taste" but ok!!!).

You can choose from a cozy ground-floor terrace, a lush indoor dining room, or the rooftop (Mamey on 3rd), perfect for happy hour with live music. The service was efficient and friendly, Ken took great care of us and made sure everything flowed smoothly. The menu has a great variety and everything is beautifully presented. I started with the sweet-sauce chicken wings, perfectly crispy and full of flavor, followed by a round of tacos, some with beef, others with chicken, fresh and well balanced. I also had the chance to shake things up with an espresso martini or known as RumWake. It had all those rich coffee aromas and an interesting twist from a banana nut texture. It was good, but I still prefer the classic version. Their mojito, which I usually don't enjoy, totally surprised me, bright mint notes toned down the sweetness just right. At Mamey, they call it the "Mint Condition," and it's definitely worth a conditional try. The one drink I liked the least was the Serata, essentially an Aperol spritz with Asian gin blended with Prosecco. It felt watered down and the flavors just didn't come together for me. Overall, Mamey delivers a unique "island-minded" experience that blends flavors from the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America. Between the beautiful setting, creative menu, great cocktails (with a couple of misses), and attentive service, it's a spot I'd come back to for both casual nights and special occasions.

"Lucky us," we thought, "now our waiter surely won't be distracted." How naive! After sitting around aimlessly, our menus finally arrived five minutes after sitting down. Our drink orders finally taken ten minutes after that, and my mother was weirdly talked down to while asking a simple question about happy hour. Despite all of that, we were still looking forward to our meal, enjoyed our tapas, and awaited our main. It never came, and as the waiter came by to ask us how everything was we told him what was missing. Apologetic he was not. Unfortunately, the food really was quite good and genuine (otherwise it would be easier to write La Taberna Giralda off completely). Its ambiance is cute, despite its harsh overhead lighting, and it's surely a nice place to take in a Flamenco show or some Spanish music. Still, if you're someone who expects or enjoys good service, I recommend you take your business elsewhere.

First things first: if you want their Spanish tortilla with chorizo, you have to order it ahead of time. Same-day they usually only have the regular tortilla available, so plan ahead -- and trust me, it's worth it. Thick, soft, perfectly layered potatoes and egg with that extra smoky chorizo flavor that takes it to another level. A true comfort dish done right. Their tortilla is one of their staples for a reason. We also ordered a variety of croquetas: jamón serrano, queso manchego, camarones, and bacalao. Honestly, all of them were good (and I mean all), but the bacalao croquetas? Wow. Next level. Super creamy inside, crispy outside, packed with flavor -- easily my favorite of the table. And because it was Mother's Day, dessert was mandatory. Everyone ordered something different: flan with almond ice cream, crema catalana, Basque-style cheesecake, and I went for the Tarta San Marcos. I'm not Spanish, so it was my first time trying it, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's made with layers of sponge cake, cream, chocolate truffle -- but somehow it doesn't feel too heavy. It paired perfectly with a cafecito and was the ideal ending to the meal. The place is small, cozy, and very authentic. I hadn't been in a while, and you can tell they've organized the space better -- the wine boxes and market area feel cleaner and more intentional, and there's a little more room to breathe. Service was super nice and welcoming. Overall, La Vasca is one of those hidden gems where the food feels as authentic as it gets.

The table had olive oil for the bread too, but I don't think it necessarily needed it because it was so good by itself already. The Valencia Paella had chicken and seafood in it, and I honestly loved the combination. The chicken was cooked perfectly so it was nice and tender and also well-seasoned. The seafood had great flavor, and I really enjoyed trying all the different kinds. I love paella, and I've been looking for a good paella ever since I tried it in Spain for the first time. After debating between a few options in Miami, I was so happy I went with this restaurant because I was very satisfied with their paella.
