We shared the pan con tomate, the croquetas de jamon, las gambas, the papas bravas, the stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, the montaditos, and the albóndigas. All were delicious. For our entrees, we all had the huevos Bulla and it was really good. For dessert, we shared the churros con chocolate and the hazelnut waffles. Both were delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch.

Came to Cala Millor yesterday for lunch, and had a good experience. The business lunch for $35 is…read morean amazing deal, and the portions are huge considering. 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.

Second time here and the place impressed just as the first visit…read more At first, a little skeptical: what's with all the grandma holiday decorations in the bar area? But thankfully their main area was tasteful and had a perfect atmosphere for New Years Eve. We ordered the following apps: 1. Arroz negro (black squid ink rice with cuddlefish): absolutely delicious 10/10 2. Carbonara croquettes: this is the Second time we ordered this and just as good 10/10 3. Crispy fried artichokes: absolutely lovely, light and airy 10/10 For mains: 1. Oxtail paella: delicious, and unique. Great for those who don't like seafood. Huge shareable size. 10/10 2. Duck breast: small portion but tasty. 8/10 3. Snapper with fennel: delicious especially the fennel side. Dessert: 1. Chocolate mousse: not bad, but not life changing. 7/10 2. Labneh with saffron syrup and crunchy honey: out of this world. What a unique and unexpected delight. It was a special of the day but we hope they bring this back, it's too good and nothing like it anywhere else! 20/10 Beverages: 1. Holiday shot in souvenir glass: tbh I only got this for the glass but the shot was okay: espresso, mint liqueur and orange liqueur. It was heavy on the mint which I wasn't a huge fan of. 8/10 3. Macchiato 10/10-really love the china cups they are served on--it elevates the experience.

The bartenders definitely don't skimp on the pours, which was a nice surprise, and prices felt very reasonable for Coral Gables. I had the pan con tomate, which was a great portion for $8, and a Negroni for $9. Only small downside was that it felt a little warm inside, but overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely come back.

Taberna Giralda is a traditional Spanish restaurant with a very palpable Spanish atmosphere…read more I had been here once before for drinks but not dinner. They have great service offering inside and outside seating and a Flamenco show on Saturday nights. The staff was, friendly, helpful and attentive. The vibe is excellent. Everyone here is ready to eat well and have a lovely time. No sooner had we sat down, our server took our drink order and immediately brought it out. We chose a Spanish Urbión Rioja reserva wine and it was quite delectable. We also ordered 2 Coke zeros. For our starters, we selected: * 2 Chips de Berenjena. Eggplant chips, flash fried and drizzled with honey. These are the best!!! So delicious, we ordered 2 servings and everyone in the restaurant was ordering them. * Fried Calamari with a very tasty aioli sauce. * Gulas de Ajillo Baby eels cooked in garlic sauce and olive oil - delicious. This dish is very special to us because my Husband eats it every time we visit Barcelona. * Pulpo a la Plancha - Grilled octopus with creamy black rice made of calamari ink. The rice was excellent, absolutely luscious. * Pulpo a la Gallega. Boiled octopus and boiled potatoes drizzled with paprika and olive oil. For our Mains we ordered the * Filet Mignon with blue cheese sauce and boiled potatoes. This dish was just OK. The potatoes weren't seasoned, only boiled. The steak had no char and was overdone for a filet. My Husband also ordered * Patatas a la Giralda - their twist on patatas bravas with two homemade signature sauces. These were crispy, and delicous. Served underneath the 2 sauces. * I ordered Grilled Chicken with salad. I was taken aback by the server for food shaming me to order something pricier, not just basic chicken. That's not cool. I also got a side of * Patatas - fried steak fries, very crunchy paired well with our food. For dessert we had * Crema Catalana, which is a Spanish syle Crème brûlée. This dessert has probably been the smallest dessert I've ever ordered. Not to mention, the consistency, the taste and color was all wrong. It was as if you had a Jello vanilla pudding with a miniscule amount of hardened caramelized sugar. Definitely not getting this desert again. I'd like to try the Tarta de Santiago next time. Once our food arrived the Flamenco show began and it was glorious!! The lead male vocalist was phenomenal! His vocal range and guitar skills were admirable. The show began with singing first and then the dancer started. She was a personable, very talented dancer and performer. At one point she locked eyes with me and before I knew it I was up there dancing with her, which was so much fun! I really enjoyed this restaurant and recommend it to open minded people who enjoy food from Spain.

Spent Mother's Day at La Vasca Deli in Miami with the family, and honestly, it felt like being…read moretransported straight to Spain. 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. If you're craving real Spanish food in Miami, this place absolutely delivers.

We visited La Taberna de Ignacio in Pinecrest yesterday for my birthday celebration, and…read moreunfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from the moment we walked in. We had a reservation for a party of seven, yet the host was unwelcoming, dry, and made us feel more like an inconvenience than guests. We were told to "sit down" with no warmth or hospitality whatsoever. The ambiance was equally upsetting. For a Spanish taverna, we expected a lively, warm atmosphere--music, conversation, and a welcoming vibe. Instead, the restaurant felt dead silent, stiff, and uncomfortable. It was so quiet and stuffy that we didn't even feel comfortable speaking with each other. We enjoy fine dining, but this was absolutely not that experience. After receiving water, we waited--and waited--with no service and no acknowledgment from any staff member. Despite being a group of seven, no one approached our table for quite some time. Eventually, we felt so uncomfortable and ignored that we all got up and left. Even my mom, who waited to let the staff know we were leaving, had to walk away because no one bothered to come over. This is not what anyone should expect from a local Spanish restaurant that calls itself a tavern. It lacked hospitality, warmth, and basic customer service. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a welcoming, relaxing, or enjoyable family dinner. Truly underwhelming and upsetting--especially for a birthday celebration.

Located in a corner for what feel like an eternity, Los Gallegos serves old school Spanish cuisine…read more The interior is small and its vibe feels like it 1970s Spain. The menu contains all types of tapas so we ordered the Galician Octopus and their cod croquettes to start. The octopus was very tender and tasty, while the star of the meal were the croquettes very creamy interior without the strong fish flavor. For the main entree we ordered their black ink paella which included chucks of seafood. The rice unfortunately was very bland to the point we had to add some salt on our own. For dessert we ordered the torta de Santiago which is a sweet almond pie. Very disappointing very hard and it was not as sweet as we would like. The waiters were really nice and always attentive but the food just didn't meet our expectations.

The famed Buenos Aires steakhouse with a location in Coconut Grove did not disappoint…read more I finally had an opportunity to check out La Cabrera after a cigar at nearby Coco Cigars. I took advantage of their 4 course $60 dinner special (not listed on their website but offered every day, including weekends) and went with the Caesar Salad, 14 oz skirt steak, fries and flan. Each dish was very good, the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the fries were crispy and good, and the flan was probably the best I've ever had. I enjoyed a very good glass of Malbec reserve with my meal. La Cabrera also offers a $39 lunch special. Ambiance was charming and the service was also very good. Far superior choice, food wise, to Chop.

After enjoying a fantastic dinner here back in January for my wife's birthday, it felt only right…read moreto return to La Cabrera Coconut Grove in August to bring my wife's father for a Miami Spice Lunch outing. A restaurant that still comes to mind months later is usually doing something right, and this visit confirmed what we loved about our first experience. We made reservations without any issues a couple of days before. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had not filled up yet with the busy Sunday family crowd. Upon being seated, we were provided with the regular menu and the Miami Spice Lunch menu. The Miami Spice Lunch, which has now become a daily Executive Lunch special, is a standout value. The portion sizes and the quality of the Argentinian steaks speak for themselves. As a group, here's what we ordered: Starters - Ham and Cheese Empanadas - Morcilla - Grilled Provolone Each starter delivered exactly what you'd expect from an Argentinian steakhouse. The empanadas were warm and flaky, the morcilla was rich and well seasoned, and the grilled provolone came out bubbling and perfect for sharing amongst our table with the restaurant's complementary bread basket. Entrée: - New York Strip Steak, 12 oz This was the only cut of steak we ordered. It was cooked to each of our desired temperatures and seasoned simply, letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. It is clear why La Cabrera has a reputation as one of Latin America's best restaurants. Sauces on the side, which included a BBQ sauce, and a chimichurri, were left for our choosing and were used for the side dishes more than anything. Sides: - French Fries - Jasmine Rice Both sides complemented the steak well. The fries were crispy and large in size. My father-in-law, a cuban man who's very serious about his rice dishes, thought the jasmine rice was very good. Dessert: - Dulce de Leche Ice Cream with Cone - Dulce de Leche Pancakes The ice cream was smooth and rich, while the pancakes were finished with a sugary powder coating that was impossible to resist. This lunch reinforced why La Cabrera continues to be stand out in a crowded field of steakhouses. Between the consistency, generous portions, and the value of their daily menu specials, it's an easy recommendation whether you're bringing family, hosting someone from out of town, or simply looking for a great lunch in Coconut Grove.
