This might be one of the best meals I have had in a while!!! Get the lobster rice dish WOW

My husband and I walked into La Tremenda tonight and had such a great experience! The ambiance is beautiful and the restaurant has a really nice vibe. My only small comment would be that the lighting felt a little too bright for dinner I personally think dimmer lighting would make the atmosphere even better. Paola was our server and she was wonderful. She recommended the cheese croquettes with a touch of spicy honey, and they were SO good! We also tried the octopus, which was amazing super flavorful and very well seasoned. For our main, we ordered the churrasco and it was cooked perfectly. We had a red sangria and a Diet Coke with dinner. By the end we were completely full, but we really wanted to try the Basque cheesecake, so of course we ordered it to go. Overall, we had a really good time, enjoyed everything we ordered, and the service from Paola made the experience even better. Definitely a place we would come back to! read more

The food is MEDIOCRE, everything is too SALTY and nothing has that delicious Spanish flavor. We ordered many dishes and the reviews were that the Sirloin steak was too tough, the paella, caldo de mariscos, etc were too salty. The seafood dishes only had around 2 shrimps, tough calamari that was inedible, the couple of clams it had were emptied, etc. There is just no quality in their dishes. Apart from the small size of everything! The mashed potatoes tasted like the dehydrated version and they served a size small enough for my 3 year old! The only dish that was large was the Branzino because you get 2 filets but then again the dish costs $47 for that a very small side dish. The cheesecake and the churros are pretty good however don't order their Crema Catalana - it's way too sweet. On top of this, the service is not all there. There is a lack of Waiters and the ones there are running around going nuts. I would skip this restaurant and try other Spanish restaurants in Miami. One that comes to mind is El Pimiento in Miami Lakes and Casa Juancho in 8th Street - both of their paellas are amazing and they actually come with lots of seafood! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We were craving wine and cheesecake and ended up at La Tremenda almost by chance, encouraged by the great reviews--and we're so glad we did! It completely exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of the menu. So many great options to choose from! Our server, Katherine, was very kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and welcoming. We were truly impressed with the whole experience. La Tremenda is definitely one of our new favorite restaurants, and we can't wait to come back! read 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. read more

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! read more

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... read more

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! read more

We had a great experience at La Tremenda. 4 of us had a great meal. I had the Miami Spice promotion, the carpaccio was fresh and tasty. The rib eye is a prime cut and grilled to perfection. The tarta was SPECTACULAR. Everyone enjoyed their meals and great cocktails. The service was super attentive. I highly recommend La Tremenda for Spanish cuisine. read more

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! read more

We made a reservation (on Yelp) for 6 + two kids. The booking process was very easy. When we arrived for our reservation we were sat. The decor and atmosphere was really nice and had a cool vibe. The establishment is small, but there is plenty of parking in the lot as it is in a plaza. The service was very slow. There were two girls working, and hustling but as it got busier by the hour, things really took a turn. Food was okay - I got the grouper and my MIL got the paella in which she said was very dry. I will give it another try next time I am in the area perhaps it was just an off day. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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!). read more

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. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem in a very friendly neighborhood. Mains easy for parking( free) and good for all age group. We have been here many times but have never tried the weekend ( Saturday and Sunday) brunch. Again, never got disappointed for the quality of dishes, services, and ambiance. I am happy they have seafood paella( individual/single) ) on the brunch menu and other authentic Spanish influenced dishes. All the brunch dishes ( starters and mains) are normal size but not half from the regular menu. With a complimentary glass of bubble are only $ 28. What a good value. We order the basket cheese cake in the end as usual. This is the best cheese cake in town and good for 2 ppl. The server Mr. Felipe, he's great... everything in on point as well as the main host. Highly recommend to make the reservation and come early ( 12:00pm ). It fill up very quick. read more

The food is not that great , doesn't taste like Spanish food. The paella we order was full of SALT and other plates were too salty I believe if you like salt you can add by yourself at the table. The service was excellent very fast and very friendly ,recommend . The drinks are very good we order sangria. Recommend The ambience I don't know ,because the place was empty at 8.pm on Wednesday. Only two women seating at the bar . On the website recommend reservation with the restaurant empty Probably on the weekends is full that why you need a reservation We will try on the weekends only to drinks ( no to eat) to see the live music how they're read more

A few days ago I went to celebrate a friend's birthday. The waiter was very attentive but as the place got busier throughout the night, the service was a little slow. It wasn't his fault. There were only two of them attending everyone. I had a paella and it was delicious! My friends and I shared Sangria pitcher and was great. From the appetizers to the food, it was great. Their downfall...they need more servers when the restaurant becomes busier. Another thing that had me turned off was the fact that we had a family of 4 come in the restaurant with their dog (NOT A SERVICE DOG). What has happened to people? If you own a dog, and you are sitting outside great, but seriously! No regard to others anymore. Restaurants need to be more strict about this. read more

During our stay in Doral for surgery, we explored several local restaurants, but La Tremenda was, without question, the most disappointing. The service was abysmal--after sitting for an hour without being allowed to even order our main course.... The salad arrived so oversalted it was impossible to eat (not even my salt addicted hubby would touch it). The "suckling pig" was nothing of the sort--just a slab of pork belly, gamey and poorly executed (I know the difference; it was a specialty at my own restaurant). And the octopus? Easily the worst preparation I've had in Miami: rubbery, and drowned in a pool of chorizo grease. The saving grace? the Branzino- that was wonderful- perfectly cleaned, cooked, and savory sauce. We ended up splitting the entree as we couldn't stomach the others. I can forgive a kitchen having an off night, but this went far beyond that. Between the service and the food, it felt careless and unacceptable. Sadly, this was a one-and-done experience--we won't be back. read more
