  Would I like to eat at a very nice Spanish tapas restaurant in the back of a restaurant? Go home Miami, you're drunk. Oh but wait, this is actually a thing! My friend I was exploring Miami with is a bit of a hungry guy. And with our dinner get-together a little later, we chose to have a fancy mid afternoon snack.
  
  First of all, you don't get much cooler of an experience than an unsuspecting place like this. Since it was midafternoon, there were only a few people in there. So we parked easily and sat down right away. Our server was incredibly nice and took our drink order immediately. We looked through the menu deciding from the plethora of options.
  
  Ultimately we decided on the Chorizo Al Vino (sorry for the terrible picture!), the Pulpo A La Gallega and the Patatas a la Braba. It was all really good. I really like the Patatas the most while my companion was a fan of the Chorizo. I think our least favorite was the Octopus. And we discussed that we really like grilled octopus overall. But it was still really good.
  
  Great experience and I highly recommend!

  What a find.  The location behind a gas station is to say the unique is an understatement.
  The wine selection is out of this world.  the food across the board is excellent and a great value considering it's Miami.  Some of the tables are for sharing and you will make instant new friends.
  It is worthwhile the trip. Everything o the menu was great.
  Can't wait to return for another gastronomic and wine fest.

  Went for an early dinner last night on a recommendation of a friend in the wine business. We arrived at about 4:30 and were seated immediately.  Fortunately in was a relatively quiet night there. The server was extremely helpful. We ordered paella which takes 35 minutes to make. For some reason it took longer than usual so the waitress appologised and offered a free app. We had the octopus in garlic that was very tender and tasty. The paella was very good and enough for 2 meals.
  The place has a wonderful wine selection of wine at extremely reasonable prices.
  I would definately return to this place

  The variety of tapas was amazing. There were so many to choose from I didn't know where to start.
  We had so many different delicious tapas and then the main dish was a mariscos cazuela (seafood casserole) and tabla de carnes (meat board) which were delicious.
  The Sangría was excellent made with fresh fruit. We also had their version of the Creme Brûlée which was outstanding. Great place to eat.

  I would never imagine!
  
  I was a little skeptical when a friend suggested the place... inside a convenient store of the gas station.
  Parking was challenging. You walk thru the store, and the restaurant is all the way in the back
  
  It was lunch hour, a lot o business parties happening.
  The place is loud, but you can talk!
  The food was espetacular!
  Price was good.
  We had the chorizo, a shredded meet rolled in bacon, some ribs, and cod fish bites.
  
  I was impressed with the wine selection... HUGE!
  Going back for sure!
