    Paella very good.
    Jane S.

    The service was great. I love the ambiance. On Thursday night starting at 7:30 they have live music which includes Flamenco dancing and also guitar playing. The show was free to watch. The food was great we ordered the paella which was very good and we drank sangria which was great. I highly recommend this restaurant. I recommend making reservations.

    Arrived with a reservation and they quickly sat us down. We ordered four tapas and a dessert. The food came out quick, hot, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The food was also authentic, not a modern twist on Spaniard food. The restaurant has an interesting decor and feels European as well. Highly enjoyed our night and would definitely come again!

    Entré al restaurante "El Pimiento", en Miami Lakes, de la mano de mi familia, y salí con España palpitando en el alma. Su aroma, los detalles pintorescos --donde la madre patria respira en cada rincón-- y los platos servidos con amor hicieron temblar los recuerdos hasta humedecerme la mirada. España no es solo un lugar que visité; es un latido, el más intenso de mi vida. En Madrid escuché por primera vez el corazón de mi hija, ese sonido sagrado que hizo brotar mis lágrimas y que me volvió la mujer más eterna. Saber que fue concebida allá convierte a esa tierra en un territorio íntimo, donde la vida se escribió dentro de mí. Y, como si el universo quisiera guiñarme un ojo, apareció Yusnier, quien nos atendió con suma gentileza y profesionalidad, interesado en "Complicidad Desnuda", mi segundo libro. Lo grabé y fotografié, porque hay encuentros que merecen quedarse. Disfruto el arte culinario español como pocos. Así como alimenta mi cuerpo, lo hace también con la memoria, la nostalgia y el deseo del regreso. Gracias al restaurante "El Pimiento". Gracias, España, que me susurras al oído. Gracias a quienes creen en mis letras. Hoy me siento profundamente feliz, plena y absoluta con lo que soy: una autora libre, que escribe lo que quiere y como quiere, sensible, erótica y fiel a su "Complicidad". Laidy Pérez Escritora

    Tried and true. We've been coming here for over a decade and every time the food is phenomenal. My favorite dish is the chicken with blue cheese sauce. The tostones with ropa vieja is always amazing. We've never had a bad meal here. The place is decorated so nicely with trinkets and sayings from Spain. The service is impeccable. Everyone is always so attentive whether it's the owner or her amazing staff. Andrea was so very sweet with us and provided wonderful service. Glad this little gem has continued to be part of the community.

    We have been coming to this place since our friend Mylo established this business probably close to two decades ago. It has been under new ownership for some time. It is still a good place to come to for some Spanish tapas, a good time, great service and a wonderful atmosphere.

    Excelente atención, comida excelente, en especial los garbanzos fritos! El amigo Roberto, es toda una personalidad y todo el personal, igual de atento.

    I came on a Thursday evening and there is live flamenco dancing with a gentleman playing guitar and singing . Thursdays are the only day that has performances and it is free. I recommend to make reservations before Thursday because this restaurant gets super busy. There is limited seating inside but there is seating outside. However, if you sit outside you will not be able to see the performance. I ordered a shrimp and mushrooms appetizer and it was delicious. For entree I ordered a Paella Negra and a Paella de Valencia and both were very good but La Paella tasted much better. I had the Santiago dessert and it was really good. The tip was automatically included in the bill which was 20%. The server Vouluncia was very sweet and attentive. The flamenco dancer came to our table and took photos with us. I really felt like I was back in Spain with the art work, the music and the food. I loved this experience and I will definitely come back.

    Exquisito, auténtico, evocativo...exquisite and authentic, evocative are some of the first words that come to my mind upon tasting the delicious dishes featured at El Pimiento. Wow! Es pequeño y el ambiente es íntimo. Loved the ambience and the intimate decor. El caldo gallego me trajo el recuerdo de mi padre que hubiese estado saboreando cada cucharada.

    Some friends and I decided to have a birthday celebration at this restaurant which came highly recommended. Our waiternamame was Able. He was very friendly and fun. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy. We decided on several items and we also ordered a picture of white sangria. The food was very good. See the pictures for our food items and the presentations. I would recommend this place

    Friendly staff, nice service, small location. We got lucky there was an open table on a Sunday night. I will always crave some Spanish tapas (it's probably in the blood) and El Pimiento hit the spot. You can tell each dish is prepared by hands that have years and years of practice. We ordered several plates to share. The chistorra (not pictured) was devoured, the pulpo a la gallega was yummy but felt the ratio of octopus to potato could have been slightly better. The huevos rotos and the cheese cake were probably the stars of the night for me. DO NOT SKIP EITHER ONE! If I had to go without something it would probably be the sangria as it had no wow factor for me and the caldo gallego was a bit too runny for my liking. We will definitely be back to try more dishes and because I need that cheesecake in my life!

The Churassco was super fatty and chewy, if there was onion jam on the sliders, well I couldn't tell. The atmosphere is chill and the outdoor seating does have greenery that provides a bit of privacy for the patio seating, but I was underwhelmed. Service was nonexistent and food was bland.
