    This place is always amazing! The ambiance is perfect for a date night, or a friends' night out. Our sever, Jesus, was extremely friendly and very welcoming. We ordered the calamares andaluza for appetizer and for our entree the paella ibérica. Ended with a chocolate cheesecake. Delicious is an understatement! Can not wait to go back!

    This place was honestly really disappointing. I came here for Miami spice, made a reservation and still waited 15-20 min to be seated, the place is pretty small and it's so loud everyone is just trying to talk over each other, they also have live music which is nice at first but you can barely talk. The service was not great, our waitress was not attentive at all, sides came out way after we had our main dishes and we felt a rushed to order. Drinks were good , I tried the wine cocktail which was delicious. For starters I had the beef carpaccio which comes with so much salad on top, it was okay, and the meatballs were ok. For main I ordered the pork belly which was good and comes with large portion, and the ribeye was very good. As a side I got the tostones and maduros which both were mediocre tasted like they were frozen. Dessert was great the cheesecake was phenomenal and the churros were good. Overall I will not be returning.

    Ambient is very elegant, music is perfect you can talk easily, we started with the cheese croquetas they were amazing just perfection, we also order the pulpo, also incredible perfect texture, taste was balanced, my drink was a red sangría good but not out of the ordinary, then we shared the skirt steak medium, great flavor, good portion, comes with potatoes and asparagus, our server Paola was very attentive, we also ordered the cheesecake Basque and was creamy and tasty, will come back for more.

    First time going here. It's around the corner from our house and it had good reviews so we decided to try it. The restaurant is not very large, so if it's busy, like it was tonight, it gets really noisy. My fiancé and I were having trouble while trying to have a conversation over dinner. There was a large party with small children and only two waiters so it wasn't the best service. They are offering two different dinner menu options for Miami Spice; $50 or $65. We had one of each. You get one appetizer, one entree, one dessert and a glass of Cava. Our waiter was so busy that our Cava never made it to our table, even though we reminded him. The portions were very generous, and the food was really tasty and fresh but as someone who's tried many Spanish restaurants and has been to many parts of Spain the food didn't feel authentic Spanish. Their side dishes were Yuca Frita, Maduros, tostones. More like a Latin flavor but not authentic to Spain. Nevertheless the food was delicious and the portions for the Miami Spice menu were great. Another thing that didn't feel right was that they included the tip. I understand they do this for parties of five and up, but it was just two of us. Our waiter hardly came to check on us, it took him forever to bring the check and even longer for us to be able to pay our bill. Between the noise level, and not so great service I was ready to leave. I'm not sure I'll be returning. Very cute decor, nice concept but they need to make adjustments. If you know you have a large party coming in, make sure you have enough staff.

    We went for a late lunch and the restaurant was empty but we decided to go anyway. The place was very clean and very nicely decorated! The lady who attended us was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We order 2 cheeseburgers that were delicious! The French fries were so crispy and skinny and tasty! Our drinks were lemonades, I had the strawberry and my hubby had the regular lemonade. They were okay nothing great. She invited us back to come on the weekends when the have a Flamenco dancer. Loved the music playing in the background too! We will be coming back!

    10/10 no notes! Randomly found this spot on Yelp and now it's my new hyperfixation. Loved everything - from the food, to the service, to the ambiance. Everything felt so warm and comforting. They have 2 for 1 drink specials and some select bites during HH. Easy parking in the front. What more can you ask for! I can't single out one favorite dish; they all were really good. But the octopus salad and the croqueta have to be mentioned! The amount of octopus slices were generous and the croqueta was bursting with creaminess from the goat cheese. I'm thinking of the next visit already as I'm typing this...

    My mom had been wanted to try this restaurant for some time so we decided to go for dinner on a Wednesday night. The restaurant is not as big as I imagined considering they have live music some nights. It's very cozy and comfortable. The service was excellent! The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. They have a great menu with good prices. Right now they're offering 2 Miami Spice dinner menus which are great! I chose the $45 and got calamari, Branzino and crema catalana. The fish was very good, well cooked with crispy skin and in a delicious sauce. I did not like the breading on the calamari and it tasted like overcooked oil. The dessert was also disappointing. My mom loved her seafood paella and we also had some Tempranillo wine that was very good!

    Crema catalana and Tiramisu
    Michelle L.

    Was in the Doral area and we were looking for a Spanish food restaurant I remembered La Tremenda! I had dined there previously with some fellow Yelp elites and we loved it. Took advantage of their Miami spice menu that included a beer or glass of Prosecco! The octopus salad appetizer was stellar and flavorful and so was the paella main course. The tortilla esoańola was a bit on the runny side which we later found out we could order wet or dry traditional. I tend to like it better dry but good to know there are options. And the branzino fish was really good too. But the dish came alone no sides. You could order a side of something if you wanted for like a $4 add on not bad. For dessert they were out of my fave there which is the basque cheesecake. Bummer. But the crema catalana and tiramisu jar were great. Be sure to check out there performance nights Fridays and Saturdays. Love taking pics in their fun bathroom hall lights area. Good times!

    It's a very nice restaurant inside. It has a cozy atmosphere and actually it was bigger than what I was expecting. We went on a Friday night expecting to have some kind of show. But was let down when they say there wasn't any show that day. The food was really good. We started with some calamari and they were fresh and tasty. My son ordered a hamburger and was surprised how good it was. My husband ordered a fabada and he loved it. My meat with risotto was on point. To finish the night we had the cheesecake and it was good, but could have been more smooth. Overall it was a good experience and it would have been nice to have the entertainment that was advertised for Friday. Maybe it's better to call before going to make sure they have the entertainment.

    Prosecco and beer from Miami spice
    Yanet T.

    Came here for the Miami Spice menu. Ordered the lamb risotto which was decent. My husband had the picanha which is always a bit tough. Service was good. But also it was a Tuesday night and there was only 1 other table besides us. I came for the Miami spice signature chef experience but we weren't offered the chefs story time or the cooking experience. Overall we would rate this spot at solid 6/10

    Gazpacho
    Erbira B.

    This quaint eatery is definitely a must! Great decor with high ceilings and a DJ was playing cool music. We ordered the gazpacho, octopus and beef carpaccio as appetizers. They were all delicious although the carpaccio was a bit salty. For the entrees we ordered the paella (of course!), the lobster rice and the beef tenderloin. Again, everything was tasty, however, the paella was a bit dry for me. We ended with the Basque cheesecake for dessert (delectable) and coffee. The service was very good (although our server didn't speak English!).

    Everything about our experience at La Tremenda in Doral was absolutely amazing, starting with the pleasant surprise of discovering a fine dining experience so close to home at a great value. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Jeniree welcomed us warmly and quickly seated us, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. We were delighted to learn that their weekday happy hour runs from 4-8 pm, featuring two-for-one drinks along with a selection of delicious appetizers. We enjoyed four appetizers: calamari, fried pork belly, Cantabrian anchovies, and Pan Tumaca -- each beautifully prepared and full of flavor. For our main courses, we ordered the Arroz Negro and the Asopao de Mariscos. The presentation was lovely, and both dishes were incredibly satisfying and delightful to our taste buds. The ambiance was magnificent, with soft lighting that created an elegant atmosphere, complemented by a pleasant lounge music playlist that allowed us to enjoy the music while still easily conversing. We truly enjoyed every moment of our dining experience and can't wait to return.

    Paella marinera

    Place is very very nice, you don't expect it from the outside, the happy hour is a phenomenal deal and the bread with tomato and iberico is so light and delicious, the patatas bravas is the closest i have tasted to madrid and they were great. The chicharon was crispy and perfect. Would 1000% come again.

Every dish was phenomenal and beautifully balanced in flavor. We started with the ceviche de jalapeño, which was incredibly fresh, tangy, and packed with flavor. The tequeños were another standout, especially paired with the sweet fig jam. The stuffed dates were completely unforgettable: bacon-wrapped and filled with chorizo, giving the perfect mix of sweet, smoky, salty, and savory. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the savory corn purée and salsa criolla. We also loved the bistec a la parrilla, which came with decadent truffled potatoes, mushroom foam, and a refreshing arugula salad that balanced everything perfectly. The service was fantastic from beginning to end. We loved this location: convenient, great atmosphere, and truly amazing food. We will definitely be back.

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.
