Vinimos originalmente por el show de comedia, que estuvo excelente, realmente valió la pena. Sin embargo, el servicio dejó mucho que desear. La mesera no mostró la mejor actitud y parecía desinteresada en atender la mesa. Además, nos informaron de un consumo mínimo de $20 por persona, algo que no estaba especificado en la boleta, lo cual nos pareció poco transparente. Para colmo, tuvimos que buscarla varias veces para que atendiera nuestra cuenta, y aun así nos incluyeron un 20% de propina automática por un servicio que no lo justificaba. En resumen, el espectáculo fue lo mejor de la noche, pero el servicio necesita una mejora considerable read more

The food is good. I ask for the regular water. It served " Purified. Water ". At least is you charge me 3.89 for the purified water, invert a little more and buy " Spring water". Another thing, I asked for a Spanish dessert called " Tarta De Santiago" ( picture above). Was old, and is neither similar to the original. On top of that if you pay with a credit card, will be charged 4.00 USD more. For me ridiculous, but nobody told me. The waitress is not so nice. read more

Real Cafe - Torta De Santiago. - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

I went recently for a comedy show. The show was amazing. However, the service was not. I had purchased the tickets on an app but the tickets didn't state that there was a minimum to purchase while at the show. I was informed by the waitress when she say that we only ordered drinks & appetizers, as she waited for us to add more orders to the bill. I would have been fine with it but she told us with not such a happy disposition. The waitresses demeanor was as if it was a drag to assist us, even to get the bill paid took long, after I gave her my card, she just kept cleaning with my card with her while we sat & waited. I'd come back again, but for the show, not the service. read more

Yummy food, good prices, great service and nice ambience. Nice and cozy for a family dinner but also great to watch sports events like FIFA and boxing matches. Place isn't huge and definitely gets quite busy. Reservations highly recommended. Little hole in the wall that will surprise you. read more

Quant little place reasonable prices. RESERVATIONS IS MUST!!!! No entry without reservations. Food is good Waite staff service is needed very busy place. On Saturday evening we were there music entertainment was EXTREMELY LOUD to loud to speak to any party. read more

Besides the food not being too great. There was no social distancing and employees were not properly using the mask. There were people inside the bar without a mask. The server would constantly remove her mask. Customers were too close to other customers. People would come in without wearing a mask. read more

The workers are very nice, I cannot give 5 stars because the place is very small and they try to hold to many people inside. Also, the appetizer portions are too small, it's cheap but I rather pay more for something that I can share with another person. Overall, it's ok for one time. read more

Por donde empiezo el servicio de este lugar no merece más de una estrella teníamos ticket para ver Eylen Remon y Liz Yanet en descarga, llegamos a las 9:30pm con la idea de cenar en el lugar, el show estaba supuesto a comenzar a las 10:00pm nos informaron que había otro evento que había que esperar que se desocupara el lugar, no nos sentaron hasta las 11:00pm 15 min después todavía no nos habían traído el menú para ordenar la camarera soltó el menú y ni nos pregunté que queríamos tomar nada en fin un desastre este lugar!! read more

It was a sunny Saturday and I waned to spend a splendid afternoon with my recently married wife. We came across this cozy place tucked away in a strip mall off 8th street. It was exactly what you expect from a strip mall joint. Food was sliced meat exactly like a prepackaged commercial grocery store. Sad Sausages were cold and undercooked and served with a side of ketchup and honey mustard. Ketchup doesn't exist in other parts of the world (it does but nobody uses it) and don't say it's to "Americanize" their menu. Good luck navigating their menu in extremely poor "Miami Spanglish". Terrible terrible terrible. Croquettes were good though. Only thing I like but you can find them anywhere for less read more

What a great place for the happy hour on Fridays with the flamenco music. Great service and atmosphere. A no miss place in Miami.

Este lugar es un hidden gem. Desde la comida , el servicio ejemplar de las meseras hasta los shows en vivos son ESPECTACULARES. Muy recomendado read more

Fairly new restaurant but this place is absolutely amazing!! Delicious and for an awesome price! So worth it! Their croquetas are on point and come in a wide selection of fillings. I had the chorizo and the cod...OMG YUM! With a small dab of the best aioli you will taste! Also had the cream of the day- pumpkin. I would definitely make this a regular! Great spanish food! read more

We ordered strictly from tapas menu. We had the octopus, potatas bravas, shrimp and a ham croquette. Portions were larger than expected, well priced and served hot. My favorite was the potatoes. Service was very good. I was worried when we walked in because there was a very large group and a 4 top seated at the same time - only two servers (appeared to be owner/manager). The service really was good - friendly. I would go back and try an entree. I gave 3 stars because it lacked atmosphere and the dishes, while good, don't come close to being as good as my favorite Spanish restaurant in Coral Gables. read more

Wow ! What a find . We stumbled onto this place - great tasting Spanish food . The place is a haven for Soccer fans - especially if you go for Spain. Apparently place gets packed on Fridays & Saturday nights with on going games & live entertainment. But the food - fantastic ! Great service. Not easy to find ( it's in the back of the strip mall but SO worth it ! Come and enjoy a great meal , I did ‼. read more

First of all Real Cafe has the best happy hour in town. A wide variety of tapas as long you are drinking. (Including Jamón Serrano, Paella). The service it's great and you won't be disappointed (rare thing to find in Miami). The food it's the main reason to go because of the prices and the excellent Flavors. They always have live music and events programmed so ask about it. Wine selection its awesome read more

Calamari was undercooked , Sangria was a little bland and expensive, Newly opened, hopefully they will improve with time.

Groupon introduced us to this restaurant. The staff was so warm and efficient. The bacalao croquettas were so delicious and the paella was beautifully served and very flavorful! We were told there is also a happy hour during the week with a five dollar minimum where tapas are available. read more

Terrible service terrible food terrible place! We went last night for my mother's birthday. The waiter tells us there is no menu Because they got a new chef that same day. The music was so loud you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you. We order our food (it was a group of 8) and only two plates came out. The chicken was so salty we felt sick afterwards. As for the rest of the party they ended up canceling the food order BC we were waiting over an hour for our food. The place was not packed it was ridiculous. Never again will I go to such a terrible place. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this family owned restaurant tucked away in the corner of a strip mall on Eighth street. The service was very warm and friendly, and the food was very good! It is obvious that the pastas are home made and they are very fresh. We also had a Nutella cheesecake that was very good. Through talking to the staff we found out there is live music on the weekends as well. This place caught me off guard. Although it's supposed to be a Spanish place, I would recommend stopping by and giving the pasta a shot as well. read more

Close to home, decent prices and live entertainment, very welcoming and managers are working just as hard as servers. Be prepared to wait especially on Friday. Happy hour extends till 8pm with free tapas displayed On countertops - self serve. Would recommend for an entertaining little spot for locals. read more

A very nice place to go and have a great time. The food and the service is perfect, as well as the live music. One of my favorite.

Though brand new, this jewel of a place will be in my list of places to visit frequently, the food is out of this world! Live music and sporting events compliment the smooth atmosphere like no other place around! Hats off to the chef on anything from authentic Cuban handmade croquettes and a superb paella!! I will be coming back for more!!!!!! read more

Real Cafe - Yummy Paella! - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

Great spanish food, great service. The house wine is excelent.This area of Miami needed a casual place like this that offers an innovative menu at affordable prices. Definitely worth it!. read more

The food was delish. We ordered the paella and although it took a little longer than usual it was worth the wait. Good service. Good prices. Only catch is they did not honor the Yelp free glass of wine if you checked in. Otherwise it's worth the visit. read more

The reviews on this place are very deceptive. I went here last night in hopes of having some good food but the appetizer was enough for us to ask for our check and leave. We ordered two glasses of red wine along with a tabla mixta. The tabla was tiny, with one piece of iberico ham, 2 small slices of cheese, 3 slices of store bought salami and 3 slices of pepperoni drizzled with olive oil, which made the salami greasier. It did not taste good and it made me very glad we decided to order dish by dish since the ambience felt a little off. The service was bad simply because we had to ask for bread for our tabla and had to pour our own water. I guess I'm just use to the service I've had in other establishments. The little things do count. We did try a few croquetas and those were actually good but not great. Our waitress was also M.I.A for a lot of the time and the place was pretty empty. The place has potential but definitely needs some work. We left after having just those few items. It was disheartening since I've had this bookmarked for a while. read more

Great ambiente! Excelente Service, quality and presentation. I'm from Spain, and this is one of the few places where first of all they call things by their name. Coming from Valencia I know that traditional paella is made with chicken and rabbit and in other "spanish" restaurants I have even been argue that "that" is not paella but "arroz con pollo". So I'm extremely impress by that at Real Cafe. Products are actually brought from Spain, and I know this because the owner of the restaurant personally came to our table to ask us about our food and experience. I am very very very impress! read more

Great place to drink,eat and enjoy the soccer games, service its on point and the owner is on top of everything

Real Café has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Miami. The fusion of flavors is excellent, always fresh, well presented and very reasonably priced. The service is excellent, the servers and owner are accommodating to the needs of the customer, and go out of their way to be friendly. This restaurant is very reasonably priced restaurant stands out. This is about the food, and the food is delicious. read more
