Tapelia

Overall, we weren't too impressed with any of the food or drinks here. The sangria wasn't super good; it was very reasonable priced though. The empanadas were definitely the best part and I would definitely have those again. We also had the paella, spaghetti and flatbread and none of those were good. It's a good vibe for outdoor dining, but maybe just come for the appetizers. The waiter was super nice & brought our food and drinks out quickly.

Paella gone wild in Miami Beach!Im very picky with Spanish food, as I usually travel to Spain every year. Our order was mainly paellas as we wanted to share with everyone in the table. We orderdered "paella a la marinera" and "paella mixta". The first one had plenty of langostines, but missed many shrimps. On the other hand, the mix paella offered a very dry chicken, meanwhile the meat was very scarce. Both of them presented very sticky and moist rice. They had flavor, but wasn't a remarkable one. The empanadas argentinas were fried and the stuffing wasn't that tasty. Ambiance was very energetic and busy as you are seating in the middle of Lincoln Road. Overall, the best thing of the lunch was the service provided by Camila, always on top of every detail

Honestly would come back for the service alone! Had Emmi and are still literally sitting at his table writing this. We had the empanadas, a seafood pasta and seared ahi salad all were great we also enjoyed the $5 margarita and sangria.

We stopped randomly for a drink and a snack. We were able to sit instantly outside which is hot but fun for people watching. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks were refreshing and our appetizers were good. Prices were very fair for this area. Not sure if it's a Miami thing but service fee was added to bill. We didn't even pay our bill yet and our server was trying to get us to make a review.

There's a lot to choose from on Lincoln Road when it comes to food and I love that every restaurant has their menu posted outside at the hostess stand or in a window so you can bounce around and see all the options. It took some time for us to narrow it down but we ended up at Tapelia and it was a solid choice. We really liked the menu especially the idea of sharing a paella but we worried that we might not finish it and we could not leave with leftovers so we both settled on the Garlic Shrimp with Rice and Salad, me sauteed, friend had the fried. Loved this dish, very flavorful and just the right amount of serving. Service was fantastic as well. Waters arrived immediately and were refilled throughout dinner. Food came out reasonably fast and piping hot. I would also say given the set up inside, quite romantic, this would be an excellent date night spot and you can share a paella!!

Our reservation was for 7:30 arrive time 8:00 due to traffic in the area. Tables for 30 people were made very early in the day. Sadly, we waited for our tables approx. 15 minutes, finally, tables were ready, but there were a short 4 settings. We were assigned just 1 waitress.. she did have 2 helpers to assist her. Our drink orders were taken by 9, appetizers shortly after . We continued to wait....and wait and wait. Finally drinks came out, we asked for bread for the tables, as some of our party are diabetic. Approximately 10 meals SLOWLY CAME OUT.. MOST including my own are cold. My husbands pants were soiled by the steak juice runoff. My meal was probably lost somewhere in the kitchen.. it was still delivered cold. I could not even ask to return it since we are a large party. 3 additional meals were never delivered and our friends just canceled.This was a horrible meal.. horrible service horrible preparation for a The appetizers were the only...ONLY enjoyable portion of this meal. All down the table there were comments, but we just decided to keep things rolling. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Terrible overpriced Paella Service was good,sangria was better. I'd pick someplace else in the future.

Conveniently location at Lincoln Mall, the ambiance was lively and energetic. The service is impeccable, they make sure we had everything we need and are comfortable. The seafood is perfect, we enjoyed the cocktail. Highly recommended for people who come here, this place is a must-have.

Service by Emi was outstanding. All interactions were with a genuine smile and interest in providing the best experience for us. We ordered the Seafood Paella. Very good on all counts including the fresh lobster, large and small shrimp, large and small clams and calimari. Wtih so much going on it is easy to have some of these become dry by the time it comes to the customer. But each item was the way it was intended and nothing was dried or over cooked.

Service was amazing! Emil was detailed in waking us through the menu and provided excellent service, he answered all our questions and recommended the delicious paella with lobster - there was also a lovely waitress who helped us crack open the lobster and walked us through how to do it ourselves! Everyone is so welcoming I'd definitely be back again
