    I am more than ecstatic to write this review! I've been coming to this restaurant for over 20…read moreyears--since I was a child--and the food never disappoints. From the simple fish empanadas to the whole fried snapper, everything is delicious. Their seafood soup and conch soup are absolute must-try items for me; just writing this makes me crave them. If you order the fried shrimp or fish pieces, make sure to get the sauce as well. It's a great spot for healthy eating or for pescatarians since they only serve seafood. The service is straightforward: you just stand in line to order. While it isn't always packed, there are days with long lines and heavy wait times, but the staff tries to be fast and efficient. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is located in the heart of Allapattah. It features outdoor seating and smells of the sea; it might not look like much, but I guarantee the food is out of this world. You won't find another place like this with such fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. I will recommend this to my children and grandchildren, and I hope my entire legacy continues this tradition. To my fellow Yelpers: what are you waiting for? Go check them out!

So far, their black beans and rice are the best I had and I have been here a long time. You can order the cook food and sit at the outdoor tables to Wait or Dine; I have done both. Sometimes I get my lunch and too hungry to leave and eat it right there; it's a pretty day, why not?

    Hello fellow yelpers! It's been a while since my last post, but I just had to write this.I came in…read moretoday after visiting my dad's grave with my mom. We ordered the shrimp tacos and "Arsenio's Favorite Burrito," and I have to tell you, you can taste the freshness of all the ingredients layered together. The shrimp taco was literally too much to hold in one tortilla, served with a side of pico de gallo and their homemade sauce--spectacular! The burrito, lord have mercy, had two cheeses melted on top and was filled with shrimp, fish, and rice. It was mind-boggling; each bite felt like a taste of the sea. They really outdid themselves with this one, and I can see why it's a favorite. Paired with a Stella Artois, the meal was complete.The young lady named Kaitlyn who served us was very nice and made sure to pass by to check on how we were doing. I truly appreciated that; not many servers know how to provide good service these days.The spot is literally located in a plaza you would not believe, to find such amazing food in the center of Little Havana. Don't let the looks deceive you. I definitely think you should check them out and enjoy your bite of the ocean's blessing.

    Words can hardly do justice to the wonderful evening we had at this restaurant…read more We started with the stone crab, which was absolutely outstanding. We also ordered the chicken, and the portion was so generous that it genuinely surprised us. The fried green tomatoes were delicious, the soup was excellent, the bread was fantastic, and the wine complemented everything perfectly. Beyond the food, the atmosphere and ambiance were simply incredible. This is one of those places where every detail comes together to create a memorable dining experience. The service was equally impressive--friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. No star rating feels high enough for the experience we had here. We were extremely pleased with the food, the flavors, the service, and the overall atmosphere. I will absolutely return on my next trip. Thank you for such a memorable evening.

    I take this experience with a grain of salt because we went when stone crab was just out of season…read more Need to go back in April next time. However I will say the service is stellar. Our waiter Nick was PHENOMENAL at his job and so so kind. We tried the large stone crab claws of course and although I liked how much meat you get compared to other crab / lobster, it tasted of very little and was kind of semi frozen almost? The sauce to dip in was really good. As for the sides, I liked them! Nothing was mind blowing but they were good. My favorite were the grilled tomatoes with spinach and cheese. SO flavorful and cheesy. The corn was pretty average, just mostly limey. I did really like the potatoes lyonnaise though perhaps some cheese would've brought it to the next level.

Always get a side of white rice because those sauces deserve it. ;) I usually stick with the Cajun sauce. The garlic butter is a little too oily for me, but the Cajun sauce is chef's kiss. The shrimp, clams, and crab are always A1. I usually skip the lobster, because every time I get it: rubberrrryy. The restaurant is clean, the staff is super friendly, and the shrimp étouffée is seriously underrated. As for parking... it's Brickell. Good luck and God bless. I just walk there. I'll definitely be back.

Dawan was such a funny and personable server. Love her. I can tell it's been a long day for her but she still had the energy to keep going. Respect!! They have an AYCE menu so they do get pretty packed during that time so beware. We had a great experience. Despite sitting outside, we were still being checked on and water refilled. We ordered the Zen mojito and Miami sunshine. I really enjoyed the latter. For a family of 3, we ordered Shrimp head off 1/2lb + Combo #3 -- $69.99 1 lb green mussel, 1 lb clam, 1/2 lb shrimp, 1/2 snow crab leg -- with sausage, potatoes, and corn 3 sides of choice w/ garlic butter sauce & house(?) - side of white rice. Definitely order some rice because the sauce is too good to waste! Buttery, garlicky, flavor goodness. I like how they give you a hair tie haha. I would totally go back again!

The fish tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with citrus and spice. The portions were small, but every dish that came to the table was well-presented so flavorful and packed with great flavor, (I don't know anything about Peru so i guess it tasted Peruvian..lol.) The atmosphere was lively, the dining area was beautifully designed and it's easy to see why they were recommended and popular. Unfortunately, there was one issue that significantly impacted my thoughts while sitting at the bar. I observed the bartender using the same pair of gloves to handle cash, operate the payment terminal, prepare drinks, and serve food without changing gloves. As someone who pays attention to food safety and sanitation, especially when I can see it ,this was concerning to watch and took away from what was otherwise a very enjoyable visit. Fortunately he only made me one drink and took my payment other than that he had no real impact on my eating or drinking experience I just thought it was not very clean in that he was used to doing this daily. The food itself deserves high marks, and I could see nothing that was going on in the kitchen so I can only guess they're doing everything correct but improper hygiene practices behind the bar are just as important as in the kitchen. I hope management addresses this because the restaurant was pretty cool and I was planning on visiting later that night. If not for that experience, I would have rated it at least four stars for the flavor and the service and taken away one star for the portion size but I understand it's Miami and you get an experience and a location not necessarily what you pay for. For now, I'm giving it 3 stars based on the excellent food but disappointing attention to sanitation.

If so, I…read morewould have come at a time where I was hungry and for a mere five dollars had them prepare my meal for me. But that being said, I found it to be a very nice fish market. Now there is a huge downside that you immediately encounter when you arrive. The parking lot is exceptionally small and people are parked every which way, except in the spaces. Getting to the actual building will take some time. The neighboring lots have pretty clear signs that they will tell you if you park there. So you're stuck dealing with what it is. The fish variety is good, although not great. If you're looking for strictly local fish, you'll probably find what you want. Several varieties of snapper and the fish looked wonderful and fresh. Some of my favorites like hogfish and grouper. You can buy the whole fish and they'll fillet it for you or you can buy fillets if they have them of the fish that you want. But the part I missed is having them cook it for me. Now that is something I would like to try next time The downside is they strictly local fish. You won't find any flatfish and I was surprised that they did not have any U4 or U6 shrimp which I like to use to make paella. In addition, I did not see fresh scallops. They did have some nice lobster tails although I did not see other shellfish. Some people have said the prices are reasonable; I found them about 20 to 30% higher than other fish markets I visit. The people here are really nice in the market is attractive. I will be back as I said to get a meal cooked for me in part because it is closer than the fish markets I usually visit and also my curiosity after reading other reviews. I recommend this market if you have the patience to wait for a parking space. If you're looking for the larger shrimp for paella look elsewhere
