The first night me and my husband ended up at this restaurant- it was by pure coincidence during a late night stop before going home. The food was great that night and the entertainment was on point! The bill was pretty expensive for 2 but we had no complaints because it was overall worth it. Again, the food was amazing. The issue comes when we go back for the second time. This time was have a reservation. When me and my husband arrive- the service was horrible from the start. They had us wait for a table for over 5-10 mins up front- when clearly there were tables available. A lot of regulars were in house - and it seems like they were trying to work around sitting their regulars in better tables opposed to the guests like us with reservations. The service was cringy so we decided after the embarrassment of waiting so long awkwardly- to leave. Sad we won't be going back. read more

Un pequeño secreto que guarda Hialeah... ambiente español, comida española, música española. Después de tanto tiempo, fue como estar en una de las tantas tascas de la Candelaria. La atención fabulosa, la comida genial. Quiero volver! read more

Recently visited this restaurant newly opened in Pinecrest. Wonderful service and great dishes. The paellas are delicious and so are the tapas. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. Our waiter was wonderful as was the waitress. They even had music on a Friday night. Wonderful atmosphere and the music was really nice and you could still have a conversation. read more

Visited again this weekend. Laid back vibes, Seafood plate we ordered was very good and portions were plentiful. They also carry a couple of spanish brand beers. Will try the tapas menu next time and the paella negra which looks interesting. Recomnended!! read more

La Taberna De Ignacio - Hialeah - Seafood plate. - Spanish Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Food is not bad, ambience is nice, just be ware of prices. The special of the day that we ordered was more expensive on the board than on the menu. They also had a " mix mediterranean salad with ham and cheese" for 12.95 and the waiter brought me back a salad almost the same as the side order of my husband, when I asked him about the ham and cheese he told me or you asked for the mix salad so I was supposed to say the entire name? Maybe; however there was no other salad ion the menu and the cost was 10.00 ( very expensive for the variety and the amount ) and the one he was supposed to bring me with the ham and cheese was $12.95. You might end up with a few more dollars by cheating but you lost a customer. read more

Great service and delicious food. we are in love, small placed but food is worth while next time I will order the paella

Avoid!!! Absolutely the worst food experience ever! This is being written by a well traveled foodie. I had been to this restaurant before a few years back and the food was pretty good back then what happened? Seafood Paella for 4 was burnt and tasteless. The seafood was dry and smothered with what looked like burnt paprika and was simply disgusting. Everything else was sub par to bad especially the poor karaoke juke box singer whose effected vocal and absolute poor quality NOT LIVE presentation should've clued us to LEAVE! I've eaten Spanish food in Seville, Madrid , Barcelona, New York, and Miami. I know it well. This was not only the worst Spanish restaurant I've ever been to. It's quite literally the worst restaurant ever the only reason we came in was to remember my mom who brought me here several years back when it was obviously better. Never again. After I complained, the restaurant offered a reduction and I gladly paid to get out of there as quickly as possible. read more

This place is amazing. If it wasn't for someone recommending this place, I wouldn't never discover it. The shopping center is not the best looking in town, but what an amazing experience I had inside the restaurant. The food was super yummy, the service was honestly 5 and plus. I walked in 5 min before they close, the service was still very good. (This doesn't happen in Hialeah) I will definitely go back, to try the paella read more

On the evening of our visit my wife and I were looking at a light meal and decided on tapas. We Googled and came upon this restaurant close to our home. We showed up at around 7:30 pm on a Friday. Upon meeting the hostess we were asked if we had reservations which we did not. At that time there were three tables occupied by diners and the rest were unoccupied. The hostess sat us on a table in front of the bar and told us that if we stayed past 9 pm there would be a $10 cover charge for the flamenco show, we didn't know they had one. We assured the hostess that we would be done before the show started. Our assigned waiter was very attentive. We ordered a few tapas and a sangria pitcher, overall we had a pleasant meal and service. At around 8:30 pm patrons began to arrive and the place got busy quickly. We left at around 8:45 pm as we had no interest in the show. read more

Great service, even though this is the 3 rd time. The first time was great service and the taste of the Taverna Exclusive was the best. Second time I came the service was bad, only 2 servers, but today was the best. The show, the waiters & the food, always great!... reason I'm given a 5 start read more

This place was just like 2 blocks from our house in Hialeah...Its the bomb! Everything is great..from the meat to the seafood and the ensalada Rusa and the croquetas, wow! Service is very nice. Great memories with my late mom..this was our treat together when I would visit her in her last year's of life! Thank you, La Taverna de Ignacio read more

Well first thing first I wish I could give this Resturant a 0 star very unprofessional and money grabber, let's start for starters they call the ham ibérico ham which ibérico ham is a different kind of ham less salty and more creamy based on my experience in other restaurants that are actually Spanish also the chef in this Resturant absolutely doesn't know anything about Spanish cuisine lmao. This Resturant charge you more for a jamón serrano which that is what their false advertisement is calling jamón ibérico a jamón serrano your not paying for ibérico don't get it confused it's Serrano. If your from Spain you would know. Also the waiters are rude. OH AND ON TOP OF THAT they have Cuban music playing in a Spanish Resturant like wtf if it's a Resturant from Spain why do you put music from another country.... It's suppose to be authentic..... overall bad experience never going there not spending my money on this garbage place. read more

The food is ok but the service is horrible. Was treated like crap by the host, bartender and even the waiter. It's better to go to Brisas de España or Bulls Gastrobar read more

My favorite Spanish restaurant great food and great shows. Flamenco and Boleros in one scenario. Mi restaurante español favorito. Comida excelente y shows formidables que incluyen flamenco boleros y música bailable. read more

The worst food ever!! The price is not low for the poor quality they serve! Don't go! I ordered a "Paella" and the rice was flavorless, and the jumbo shrimps where brown and black! Could you imagine? I think is a river species low quality, and they were frozen shrimps because they were totally dry inside the shell !!! read more

I'll start with the positive: the food was good, we'll decorated, our waiter was attentive. The cons: You don't feel welcomed when you walk in. Since the show starts later at 8 the restaurant was empty and we were the first customers yet there was someone practically barring the door and asking if we had a reservation, no greeting either. Thankfully someone behind heard that person and let us sit at a small table which we were grateful for. The next few customers showed up about 40 minutes after us and same question "do you have a reservation". About 3 couples were turned away in an hour when a family with a "reservation" finally showed up. No hours of operation on the door so we had no clue when they opened although they advertise a lunch menu and it was well after 6pm. The food was ok but not really for that price. As an example they offered to add lobster to the pricey paella for $20 more per person. Would have made it a $60 dish, no thanks. They add tip automatically eventhough we were only 3 and show is $10 additional per person. Our waiter was great but the other staff kept making us feel unwelcomed and rushed off even if they had empty tables by the time the show started and we were there almost 1 hour before the first reservation showed up. If they fixed the customer service it may be worth the expensive bill at the end of the night. read more

What a great night! On a whim, a group of women got together to celebrate my aunt's birthday. My mother had heard this place advertised on Spanish radio. Honestly, I was skeptical at first. The place is located in a strip shopping center in Hialeah. The friendly staff greeted us at the door, and immediately showed us to our table. We ordered wine, beer and a variety of tapas. The chorizo cooked in wine and the gambas al ajillo were amazing. Soon after, we were treated to flamenco dancers, who were spectacular, alternated by a gentleman singing live Spanish music from various countries and eras. The $8 cover charge was well worth it! Later, we ordered paella marinara, which is made to order, and takes about 45 minutes. The food was excellent. The staff was attentive, the food was great and the ambience and music were fabulous. We will definitely be back. read more

This is a Restaurant in a strip shop. There was a lady singing old songs in a console piano and it was very loud. I don't know if is just me but I don't enjoy singing while I'm eating. The best thing we had was the bread. The paella was dry and tasteless, it only had four shrimps and the rest were calamari rings that were gummy and very chewy. The bacalao croquettes were commercially and you couldn't tell the flavor but definitely didn't taste like bacalao. The service was good but did not make it out for the food which was pricey for the quality. I will not return. read more

Food was delicious and service great all my friends and family also enjoyed dining at this restaurant.

This place is great!!! The food is delicious and the live music makes it even better. Will definitely be back.

First time there. I called before and the person that answered the phone said they were full but to go and wait for a table. Got there and the restaurant is half empty. Upon entering, we waited 10 minutes, no eye contact, we felt unwelcome and completely ignored. Then the hostess comes around and greets the party behind us and asked them if they had a reservation. This restaurant lacks customer service BIG TIME. Go to The Bodegita instead. read more

My cousins and I took their parents for their anniversary as they wanted to see a flamenco show. The flamenco show was great and very lively. The food and sangria was also very good. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because service was really slow even though we were a big group with reservations that was gonna spend a decent amount of money. Also, The croquetas de jamón were not good. They tasted like the frozen ones you buy at the store. read more

I visited for the first time with my girlfriend. We had a great time. I ordered the garlic shrimp and she had the calamari. It was a great environment and we decided that next time we would visit during the live show. I reconvened visiting! Will be there again. Note: when you ask for water they will pour water out of a plastic bottle, and will not notify you that it's a charge per bottle ($1.50) https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34284-d917465-r414058617-La_Taberna_de_Ignacio-Hialeah_Florida.html# read more

We were pleasantly surprised. Taberna is a place of high quality at a fair price. This is an established business that serves patrons value. My wife and I ate lunch and were amazed at the taste and service. We were impressed with the unique flavor of the Iberian peninsula without any Latin-American influence whatsoever. Flavors were subtle but impacting. The atmosphere recreates a European restaurant in Spain. We will be back for flamenco night, excited to see what that is like. read more

My sister suggested this place for my mothers bday and said it was really good food well made and fresh. She was spot on. Great food and more importantly never imagined my mother would enjoy the live flamenco as much as she did. The flamenco entertainment was awesome. Extremely passionate about their art and music. We will return soon. Almost hoping the rest of Miami doesn't find out about this place. Perfect crowd and not too packed. read more

This place is a true gem located in a small strip mall in Hialeah. The decor while not modern is traditional and will certainly do the job of transporting customers to Spain. I visit this country about 6 times per year and this is the typical decor found at tapas restaurants everywhere, love it! I ordered to go; wish I had stay at the place as the atmosphere was so relax and the service was simply outstanding. I ordered a sangria and it was amazing. Well balanced with fruits, tasty, rich and not too strong. As appetizer we ordered the cod croquettes. These croquettes are outstanding, the best ever!!!! They were so soft, warm, tasty and had a very special/unique flavor. We also ordered the tabla iberica and caldo gallego (traditional spaniard soup). The tabla iberica is a typical assorted dish with proscuito ham, chorizo and cheese. The dish was fresh and very tasty. The caldo gallego was rich with favors as well and was served with garlic bread. I will return no doubt, a jewel literally hiding in Hialeah. read more

Pretty typical Spanish tapas. If you aren't in the mood for Cuban in Hialeah than I would definitely recommend this place. They serve bottled water instead of tap for no charge. I don't know what that's about but I'm sure not complaining - thank you!!! The service was prompt and attentive during a lunch hour. The food also came out relatively fast for tapas which helped because I was on a lunch break. We ordered the shrimp, cheese croquettes, relleno croquettes and calamari. Everything was pretty delicious and came with fresh bread and spread. The calamari was fried and seemed like it was thrown in a deep fryer from a package. I would order grilled the next time. They have beer and wine and looks like a stage for music on the evenings. I would go back during lunch for sure and try some different options! read more

Well, we decided out of the blue to visit this Spanish restaurant today. We only live about 10 minutes away and have never given it a try. It's a small cozy place in a shopping center. You know what they say: Never judge a book by its cover. Wow! This little jewel of a restaurant has an amazing ambiance., starting from the Flamenco dancing, the food, the service. We ordered a bottle of wine: something soft like a tempranillo: Conde de Siruela (Spanish wine) Very good I should say, We drank the whole bottle We ordered some tapas: Jamón Ibérico (ham) and Manchego cheese, delish! Then We ordered octopus (A la brasa) on the grille - Wow! What a tasty appetizer! Its main ingredient being garlic and Olive oil, Our meal consisted of a "Parrillada de Mariscos" (Seafood Platter) - Done on the grille- served with some fries cut in squares that were to die for , We enjoyed the singing and dancing and had a great time! read more

I had gone here many times but until I tried their "arroz con bacalado" ; cod rice, that I didn't become hooked! Totally recommend.

Nice place and a quiet atmosphere. The service was fast , they pass by our table often . This restaurant is in a shopping mall strip but inside you will be transport to Spain . They even have a tablao. It's very affordable, we had a pitcher of sangria ( very strong ) cod croquettes, tabla iberica, manchego, chistorras al vino and one crema catalana $60.00 including tip . We'll be visiting again . read more

The food here is amazing! Let's start with the fresh baguette bread they bring to the table as soon as you sit... it tastes like freshly baked European baguette! Next, the wine selection is plentiful and the food is very authentic! My favorite dishes so far are the Cobia (Corvina in Spanish) and the Langostinos al Ajillo (Shrimp cooked in an olive oil and roasted garlic sauce)! The torrejas and crema catalána are delicious! And of course they make the perfect "cafecito" to end the experience. Live Music & Flamenco Dancing Thu, Fri & Sat nights. Reservations are recommended because the restaurant is small but very popular. Dress business casual. Service is excellent! But if you don't like fun and good food then stay away from this place! Lol! Basically, from the moment you walk into this restaurant you will feel like you are in SPAIN!! Ole!! read more

I'm extremely disappointed about the restaurant, It took forever for the waiter to come to our table to bring the menus (at least 40 mins). On top of that I was OVERCHARGED for a couple of bottles of wines and a plate I ordered. It was no the same price they stated on the menu. This is the second time it happened. No coming back read more

Don't be fooled by location. It might be in a shopping center but service & food well worth it. Their croquetas de bacalao so creamy & delicious. Their Paella was Super Ricooo. Well seasoned & tasty.
