Aida Mexican Seafood

We had spent the day exploring Biscayne National Park, and this restaurant was within walking distance from Dinner Key Marina if you're there doing a tour.We came around 5:30 pm on a Tuesday and ended up being able to participate in both Happy Hour and Taco Tuesday. They do happy hour every day from 5-7pm with 50% off classic cocktails. Great margaritas! Their classic Aida Margarita includes triple sec, which just makes it that much better.They have a surprisingly large taco selection, so make sure to grab a bunch of different ones to try. They were all delicious, but their shrimp taco was the biggest winner. Super fresh, tender shrimp combined with the chipotle mayo.. Delish! The Baja Fish Taco and the Carnitas de Atun were our other favorites.Really good service. They appropriately checked in on us and refilled our chips. (Side note: love that they serve smaller bowls of chips w/ refill options because it's less likely to fill up on chips before the food comes!). Great dinner option for a date or with friends.

Food was great but bad communication. They offer taco Tuesday specials throughout the whole restaurant. But happy hour drinks and food are just at the bar on SELECT drinks.Best thing was the baja fish tacos so crispy and flavorful. The elote was extremely salty. Food took long to arrive even though the restaurant was not busy.

Aida delivers Mexican food with a a nice twist. Service wise they are beyond expectation, taking care of you since you arrive and during your meal. The place is nice decorated. Mainly seafood dishes and nice cocktails.

Got some really good shrimp tacos and margaritas! The shrimp tacos came with a lot of topping with was good! The spicy mango margaritas were amazing! Would definitely go back! And we did a walk in for two people and they were able to seat us !

Food: delicious & definitely recommend. I have the whole fish that was butterflied. Chef kiss.The inside had great decoration and had such a vibe. Service: TERRIBLE. Let me explain. I don't like giving bad reviews. We called in a last min reservation for 8:45. We show up at our reservation time and he tells us to wait 5-10 mins no problem. Then 30 mins later he tells us oh our big tables are done eating but they are sitting a talking. & one party started late. Mind you he agreed and confirmed this reservation over the phone. So that super frustrating that we are waiting at this point. He offered us to sit us at the bar but we had a party of 10 so we just agreed to wait outside which was fine because there was a bench. And we had kids with us. So towards the end he offered us to comp us drinks. So we end up waiting and hr and he was hiding inside because he couldn't let a table know that he had confirmed a reservation and there is a table time limit. A lot of restaurants usually set a limit for the table due to other reservations. So we get through the whole dinner and pay. Then my husband asks for the receipt and the guy didn't want to print it and my husband insisted. We looked over the receipt to see nothing compared or any kind of discount for the error and making us wait an hr and knowing he made us wait. This is just very upsetting and not good customer service at all. Especially since he agreed that for apologizing for the wait time because we gave them a look and expressed our frustration of waiting when we were told we would be seated

Very good Mexican restaurant in coconut grove. Came with my girlfriends on Friday after work and wasn't busy, but got busier as the night went on. The staff were all super nice, friendly and attentive. The food was good, got tacos which were a good size, loved the salsa for the table, and the desserts were delicious- both the churros and flan, which when done right are delicious, and these were done right. Would definitely recommend to try.

Scallop tartare dish was very fresh and tasted good but was not memorable. Tuna tostada was fresh but not that flavorful. Had to add a big dollop of the salsa to it for enough seasoning.The grilled octopus entree was so tender and well cooked, well seasoned, but the salad on the side was wet and over dressed.Solid but quite overpriced for what it is, and not anything to return to.

I had the pleasure of trying Aida on cinco de Mayo with a friend and we ordered a variety of differnt tacos to share. The steak and onions taco, the octopus, shrimp, and pork belly taco as well, and I have to say, I was very impressed.Starting with the octopus taco, the octopus was cooked to perfection and had a nice charred flavor to it. The taco was topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime, which provided a nice contrast to the smoky octopus. Normally corn tortilla doesn't hold up well but this one was soft and held up well, making for a great overall experience.Moving on to the shrimp taco, the shrimp were juicy and plump, and has a chipotle aioli that had a nice kick to it. The flavors in this taco were incredibly rich and complex, and the textures were spot-on.The steak and onions taco had m a nice seasoning that really brought out the natural flavors. The taco was topped with some avocado crema, which added a creamy texture and complemented the steak very well. The combination of sweet and savory flavors in this taco was a real winner.Finally, the pork belly taco was an absolute delight. The pork belly was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior and hint of pineapple chunks, my fav! Overall, I was very impressed with Aida's food and their selection of tacos. Each taco was packed with flavor, and the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. they were truly all fantastic.

Love love Aida! Glad to see a great Mexican fusion in the grove. Their service is great, nice drink selections, and the ambience very chic. Would definitely recommend it.

Upon arrival we were concerned because there was only one other table of two people seated! However, after around 6PM, this place filled up quickly! It seemed like a nice mix of local regular customers, and people like us who were just visiting and decided to stroll in. We were warmly greeted and made aware of Happy Hour, which we took advantage of to order an excellent margarita and a frosty La Rubia draft beer. The server also provided a small bowl of chips with salsa roja (spicy) and salsa verde (tomatillo) sauces, both of which were fresh and excellent! I even used them on my main course! My wife had the Poblano chicken, which although good, could've been cooked a bit longer to give it more of a sear. I had the Tuna carnitas, which were excellent, and fun! I had to make mine by combining tuna bits with fresh guacamole, onions, and cilantro on a tortilla. To be honest, although I enjoyed the tuna, I wish it were in slightly larger pieces or chunks. I'm also used to a smoky flavor from bacon and red sauce or maybe some refried beans with carnitas, but that's just a personal preference. It was a very fresh taste, so I can't complain about it too much! The inside of the restaurant is very bright with a lot of art. Overall, it had nice ambiance with mellow music and a great vibe. We'll be back on our next trip to Miami!
