    Camarones enchilados
    Lynette B.

    El Pescaito, formerly known as Medley Restaurant is a hole in the wall seafood spot in Medley that has been there for years. I'm not sure if they're under new management or why they changed the name but it's been a while since I'd been here for lunch. We stopped in today for an early lunch and had out pick of tables. This no-frills restaurant does give you a free bite before ordering. It was fried fish but I wasn't feeling the texture - too rubbery. We ordered the camarones enchilados and the camarones al ajillo. Both were very good although I felt like the shrimp were smaller than I remembered them being. The portions were still nice and our server said she'd be happy to refill our rice if we wanted more. A good spot if you aren't super finicky with your food and the ambiance of the place. Our server was nice but she didn't give us a menu and was taking phone orders while attending to us which made for a longer lunch than we hoped. Because of the rubbery fish we tried in the beginning, I'd suggest only sticking to their fresh catch of the day which they have posted on the door in the back entrance.

    Nice restaurant come with an exceptional selection of seafood. I really enjoyed the service here. Of note, their swordfish is excellent, along with their blackened mahi mahi. We enjoyed our time here and the cappuccinos to end the meal

    Best kept secret in Miami!! (Medley) The food is fresh, ceviche is amazing and the seafood soup is off the chain. I just had swordfish and it was as good as I've ever had. All in a building that you would pass by without a 2nd thought. You won't be disappointed!!

    Cortaditos

    Great place! Delicious very affordable food. Everything is fresh, service it's amazing, they give you a little appetizer for free. I will definitely be back. I had a Pan con Minuta, half hero full breaded fillet(thick) with lettuce, tomato, onion and tarta sauce, 2 cortaditos, and a Diet Coke and paid less than $12 bucks!

    Gem of a place right outside of Doral. Place had been in business for 30 years and for a great reason (they rock). Fantastic customer service, super fresh fish and freshly made juice (the lemonade is out of this world). The look is super simple but don't judge a book by its cover. Lastly they have $1.50 beer every Saturday !

    Good latin meal, however terrible price on beer! Good food and good service. Many workers around…read more We were quickly seated. Stella draft $12, then we're told, it's buy 1/ get 1. Crazy right!!!!. Drafts are $3 to $5 dollars, not even from the bottle. So major rip off! So watch that. And the $3 sign outside says 4pm to 7pm or so Mon to Fri! But in no world is Stella draft $12! We'll maybe in NYC upscale bar LOL. So lets talk atmosphere: casual dining seafood spot. Jeans/ sneakers. Music on patio with DJ. We ate inside, back dining room. Good Sangria. Decent. I've had better, its not homemade or string. Taste like a pre-made but works! See my photos: shrimp ceviche was best, then stew and paella! $90 for 2, plus 20 tip. Do $110 evening. Would have been lower with the right beer price but we live and learn! If we go down to Miami off 826, could be a stop to return too! Good quick service. Clean restaurant. No big fish smell considering you are in a fish house! Enjoy! Watch the prices and specials, could be some scam-ery on the prices!! Im not cheap but wanted fairness even in prices! And no bee/ wine menu. Next time we will ask for prices so we dont get played on a draft!

    I've been to this restaurant twice, and the first time was better than the second. The food was…read moreok. The fish I order was supposed to be grouper, but it was very thin, and it was covered in a sauce with cheese that was overcooked as the cheese was not soft and melty, but rather dried and firm. We went back a second time because the pizza looked good. It was not as good as it looked, and the pizza sauce tasted sweet, so not to our party's liking. The warm rolls with butter were really good, and the burrata salad was also good. The atmosphere is lovely, but can get quite loud. If you like yelling over your meal to your table companions, there is live music playing on the weekends. I will say that the staff was very cordial. We were greeted at the door by friendly hosts, and every server who waited on us was also very nice and attentive.

    After a full day of work, the last thing I wanted to do was drive across Miami in search of dinner…read more Fortunately, Miami Lakes has its own surprises. One of them is 1910 Restaurant & Bar, a Spanish-inspired restaurant that blends premium steaks, seafood, and a little theatrical flair without losing sight of flavor. The meal opened with an order of Cheese Balls, crisp golden spheres that reminded me of pão de queijo, except they skipped most of the bread and focused almost entirely on the cheese. The exterior shattered pleasantly, giving way to a molten, creamy center. Paired with a pineapple sauce, each bite balanced sweet and salty in exactly the right proportions. My wife ordered the Australian Wagyu Flap Sirloin, a 12-ounce cut grilled over charcoal and served with house-made chimichurri. It was everything you hope Wagyu will be, deeply beefy, wonderfully tender, and rich without becoming overwhelming. The chimichurri added brightness without stealing the spotlight. Then came the dish that first caught my attention. The La Reina de la Casa, or "Queen of the House." At first glance, it almost feels designed for social media, a cheese pizza crowned with an enormous grilled octopus. I would be lying if I said that presentation didn't influence my order. Fortunately, this wasn't style over substance. The pizza itself stood on its own with a crisp crust and generous layer of bubbling cheese. The octopus, however, was the reason to order it. It was expertly grilled, tender without a hint of chewiness, and seasoned with a spice blend the server politely described as the chef's secret. Whatever was in that seasoning deserved to remain a secret, because it transformed an already well-cooked octopus into something memorable. Dessert brought things back to the classics with a crème brûlée. The sugar crust cracked cleanly beneath the spoon, revealing a silky vanilla custard underneath. Simple, elegant, and exactly the ending the meal needed. 1910 could have leaned heavily on flashy presentations and premium ingredients. Instead, it paired both with thoughtful execution. That's a far more difficult trick to pull off. Some restaurants earn attention because they're photogenic. The best ones earn repeat visits because the food is every bit as impressive as the photos.

    I was looking for a place in Miami that would serve fried fish and I saw from Xavier's photo that…read morethey had it but unfortunately when I was there the lady said they didn't have it. The lady up front who took my order does not speak English but she was nice enough to work with me. The store is very tiny, there's 10 tables that can seat 4 and a bar stool that can seat another 10. I came in on a Tuesday around noon expecting it to be full but it was moderate, at first there was only myself and these 3 ladies, but soon after people started to come in. They had the AC going so it wasn't hot as I thought it would be since everyone is crammed in there. So I wanted fried fish but I ended up with fried filet with yucca and coconut rice. The salad that came with the dish was just simply salad with Italian dressing. The yucca came out nice and hot but soon hardened, I think they should allow options such as french fries but I guess that's too American. The fish was banging hot, it was salty in some area but after squeezing the two limes on it, it wasn't so bad. Their coconut rice is amazingly good, I never had such thing but it was so sweet like plantain, it pretty much help balanced the saltiness of the fish. I also had the Colombiana kola which was pretty good. I paid a total of $14 plus tip for the entire lunch meal. Overall I would come back for more, just wish they would speak a little bit of english.
