Espanolita

Service was great and very attentive. My wife and I shared the fried calamari, shrimp and veggie app, as well as the Paella del mar. It was the perfect Mount of food for the two of us and was amazing.

Hands down one of the best meals I've had outside of Spain. It's located within the small alley so I don't think a lot people see it, but do yourself a favor and go here! No reservations are necessary during the week. The lobster paella and sangria were especially notable. Wait staff was attentive and very kind. Don't pass this place up!

No more sangria happy hour pricing, so that's a shame. And it's $20/glass and $54/pitcher. It used to be good and now it's definitely not worth the price. Only thing for happy hour is beer & wine.Food is still good.

This place had okay food and drinks. We got a tortilla espanola, egg plant Parmesan type dish and seafood paella. They did have plenty of seafood on the paella. They did not have enough saffron. Our drinks were good too. I am not the best without ac and this place unfortunately did not have ac inside, which was tough on a 90 degree day. They do have plenty of fans though. The service for this place was fantastic and the waiter kept us supplied with bread. If you're looking for food and don't mind not having ac, I do suggest giving it a try to see if it's your type of food.

After a day of traveling, I was starving and craved some great paella-- the reviews here caught my eye and I noticed it was in The Alley. Perfect for date night! The ambiance was fun and food was great. This felt like a must visit while in town. Great people watching as you sit on the open, lively patio... it took a turn once we received the bill. Our waitress, Lucia, was exceptional with great recommendations that didn't disappoint, and incredibly friendly and attentive to boot. The entire staff spent our time in the restaurant hustling with great energy, singing and clapping along to the music. We ordered: - Fritto misto- a garlic shrimp dish Lucia picked for us (unsure of the name!)- the "special" paella which consisted of seafood and lamb. All were exceptional. However... when the check came, we almost fell out of our chairs. We were charged for two paella's-- which came to almost $200. We clearly said we wanted to share one paella, but were up charged for two- we were wondering why the portion was so large, but assumed that was the standard size or else we wouldn't have eaten it! The bill, before tip, came to $350. Not sure if they were taking advantage of us because we clearly were tourists, but lesson learned day one of our trip!

We started out with the seafood paella, which was very traditional and tasted unbelievable. The next thing we ordered was the tomahawks steak we shared it between two people. There was enough of five people. It was cooked perfectly probably the best steak I've eaten in a long time. We stick to our regular drinks, but just looking at people around us having the specials at the bar, everything was incredible and boy did you get a buzz off those drinks , the service knowledgeable, friendly, the servers were knowledgeable and friendly. Don't be in a rush to go because services is kind of slow. It was definitely worth the experience. I promise you you'll never forget it till next time bon appétit

Located at Espanola Way. We valet parked just to eat here. Valet parking was about $20 for two hours, but the service was pretty quick so we finished eating by then. We got to the restaurant about dinner time, and was able to get in right away. They had indoor/outdoor dining so we chose to sit at the patio for the nice view. I ordered a ribeye and I was NOT disappointed. They lit my ribeye up in front of me so it was a pretty cool experience. The flavor for it was also perfect. I also tried their oysters and I was NOT disappointed. It was really good. My sides (asparagus and potatoes) were cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. In all, I had a pretty good experience. The staff here was so nice and friendly.

Food was amazing!! Great date night or vacation spot. Paella and salmon were the best we have had. Enzo took care of my husband and I. One of the best waiters we have had. Too, service, ambiance is top notch. If we come back to Miami Beach first place I'm going. They even gave the dog at the next table its own free dinner.

Mi experiencia en Españolita Miami fue impecable, sobre todo al excelente servicio de Enzo. Desde nuestra llegada, mostró una atención al cliente excepcional, con sugerencias acertadas y un trato cercano pero profesional. Enzo estuvo siempre pendiente de cada detalle, haciendo que nuestra cena fuera aún más especial. Sin duda, volveremos por la excelente comida y el inmejorable servicio.

My husband and I visited Espanolita this past weekend and what a lovely experience it was! We were greeted warmly and sat immediately. Our drink orders were taken and came out quickly, along with delicious toasted bread with olive oil and a delicious marinara-like sauce. So so good! We ordered the fried shrimp and calamari with zucchini as an app. Fried perfectly golden brown and crispy served with a garlic aioli. Our main course was the beef paella! We shared one portion. It was amazing- and huge! Could have easily fed four people!The dish was very comforting and cooked with love. Overall, just a wonderful experience! We look forward to coming back again soon!
