The place was packed, and their pastries looked incredible at the front. The service was quick and attentive, which I liked for a weekday lunch. As for the food, the jamon iberico croquetas were amazing. The jamon iberico and machego platter- how can you get that wrong? The huevos rotos were very good. The pan con tomate could have been crispier and saltier, but other people at the table loved it. The hake on the business lunch was a total miss for me. The fish was overcooked, the sauce was flavorless, and it was this think gelatin like texture that really did not do it for me. Everyone at the table agreed, and the server took it back without question - nice. The paella was good! I thought the rice was cooked perfectly. The cochopo was GREAT and very unique, I'd never had that before. The standout dish was definitely the cuchinillo though - wow.

After walking…read moreinside, we were immediately greeted by the owner and chef, Felipe, who was so welcoming and friendly, and I felt right at home. There was deliciously fresh complimentary bread (and complimentary water too, which was amazing to find in Miami). The bread was still hot from the oven, and it was nice and crunchy but still soft. The table had olive oil for the bread too, but I don't think it necessarily needed it because it was so good by itself already. The Valencia Paella had chicken and seafood in it, and I honestly loved the combination. The chicken was cooked perfectly so it was nice and tender and also well-seasoned. The seafood had great flavor, and I really enjoyed trying all the different kinds. I love paella, and I've been looking for a good paella ever since I tried it in Spain for the first time. After debating between a few options in Miami, I was so happy I went with this restaurant because I was very satisfied with their paella. Overall, the food was amazing, and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The experience couldn't have been better, and I'm already eager to go back to try the Iberian Ham and say hi to Felipe again.

I forgot to mention that they transformed the interior beautifully. It does not remind me of what they had there before. The chairs I found a bit lower, but still confortable. Suggestion to the manager: you should sit larger groups away from the stage, because they, most of the time, talk very loudly, and interrupt the wonderful Flamenco experience. If they continue with the show keeping it Flamenco, not mixed with anything else, the service, and the food the way it it, I will make this my regular place to go on weekends. I honestly revommend this place highly. You have got to see Laila at least once. And La Negri. You will not be disappointed

While we were initially greeted politely and given a nice table, the evening quickly went downhill.I brought a very special bottle of 2013 Vega Sicilia Único. When our server informed us of their "no outside wine" policy, I completely understood but asked if a one-time exception could be made for a corkage fee since it was our first visit. I even offered to buy a bottle from their menu if they allowed us to open ours. The server spoke with the manager, but they refused to accommodate us. For a retaurant that claims to focus on wine, they have a surprisingly limited and poorly curated selection, making their strict policy and lack of flexibility even more disappointing. The food was also a major letdown. While the garbanzos fritos were good, the chorizo tasted very unpleasant. Out of respect for the band, we stayed and ordered croquetas de jamón and papas bravas. Both dishes were borderline inedible, tasting heavily of cheap frying oil and we left them unfinished.To make matters worse, the service became incredibly dismissive after the wine discussion. The restaurant is small, but running the floor with only one server is unreasonable. We were left with empty glasses and had to ask repeatedly for water, which we never received. It is a shame, as a little flexibility and better service could have gained them two loyal new customers. We won't be returning

Not pictured shrimp croquettes were unique, a bit of a texture curve so one was enough for me. The crispy artichokes had good potential - maybe we were no longer hungry but it was very dry and flavorlesss, tasted like straw. The sauce on the side saved it.

Martinez in the Miami Design District from 2008 until 2012, closing to spend more time with their young son. Señora Martinez is Michelle; she runs the kitchen & David oversees this restaurant. I love the music, tapas and mojitos at their Cafe La Trova on Calle Ocho in Little Havana. Their newest restaurant is over 4,000 sq. ft., seats 68 with the covered patio seating 50 more with a stage & large cocktail bar. The valet was right in front of the restaurant for $15. Stepping into Snr. Martinez was like a vacation; I was taken to another place and time. The lush green & coral ambiance was warm & inviting; an old Miami Beach vibe. We got here early in time for happy hour. The mini cocktails were perfect since we had to drive home, but it is always so difficult to choose as it all sounds so good. I had to start with the crispy artichokes, famous carbonara croquettes & eggplant chips so we got it all. The eggplant chips with a savory sweet drizzle & a sprinkle of maldon salt that was addictive. Although I love her bacon wrapped dates, tuna tartar & shishito peppers - but, where would I put it all? The menu is Michelle's signature Spanish cuisine with European influences & South Florida flair. The smell of the wood fire oven permeated the restaurant with the description of the oxtail paella, whole fire roasted fish, steaks, wood roasted duck... tantalizing. I tried the perfectly grilled flank steak with chimmicurri while my husband devoured his cheesy seafood paella . Michelle's Torrejas Bread Pudding was my must have for dessert. It was so outrageously wonderful warm, perfect that we ordered a second . The complementary champagne was a very nice touch.! In Service was relaxed, professional, and impeccable.

A true Spanish "restaurant" ambiance where even the servers were Spanish with whom you could talk about the old country. What a disappointment it was to see the place has transformed into a night club with Latin America music (with extensive profanity) so loud we couldn't even have a conversation or understand what the servers were saying. The menu changed for the worse, two of plates we wanted have been removed although they still show in the menu. Also remarkable the service was below pedestrian. Servers vaping and smoking hukka (not sure if spelled correctly) while serving. Maybe it is the ownership is aiming to a different audience, and as good capitalist, I wish them much success. However, those who like me used to love the old Xixon should know is gone. It is just not for me, my family and at least those accompanying us tonight. So long!

So after a yelp review of the tapas scene, I landed at Bulla Gastrobar in Coral Gables. A slight drive from the downtown area but proved to be so worth it. Once we arrived we were seated immediately and greeted by our beautiful, friendly and knowledgeable server Melody. After she explained the menu and made recommendations, she offered to course our plates out accordingly so it wouldn't arrive all at once. Five stars to Melody for taking great care of us. Now to the food... We started things off with the pan con tomate with Serrano Ham and manchego cheese. Although this is a staple of tapas dining in Spain I had never tried it and was impressed with the depth of flavor and the different notes that it offered. It was excellent and I highly recommend it. Next was the gambas al ajillo which are broiled shrimp in a garlicky pepper butter sauce. These were also excellent, so much so we ordered another batch, Then we tried the Albondigas which were Pork and beef meatballs, with manchego,tomate sauce. These were good but proved to be our least favorite of everything we tried. Next was the datiles rellenos which were bacon wrapped dates with a small salad. These were very good Lastly we ordered the Serrano ham croquettes which came with a wonderful fig jam. These proved to steal the show. Hands down 5 stars! Because it was happy hour until 7pm, I got a Spanish beer (Mahou) and a wonderful glass of Malbec for $6 each. The total bill for all this before tip was $112 which was well worth it for an extraordinary meal with great variety. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I came for the World Cup final game and it was so packed that I was in disbelief when the hostess found me a small table all the way in the back with unobstructed view of one of the TVs. Anyways, the Serrano ham croquettes are one of their specialties so I don't have to elaborate on that because I'm sure most of you have already tried them. They just melt in your mouth and you end up ordering more, right? RIGHT. The same goes for the Spanish omelette. One of their signature dishes and one they do really well here. Now as far as the cochinillo hash, I had mixed feelings about it. Take the potatoes and poached egg out of the equation, the braised shredded pork was either overcooked or maybe even burned a little. It was super dry and if it weren't for the egg I think I would have not been able to eat even half of it. It had a bitter after taste. Maybe I should've said something but it was too hectic in there to say the least. Perhaps I should've give it another chance.
