A rare day in Florida with a clear blue sky and perfect temps in the 60's. I started out with Estrella on draft, a lager brewed in Barcelona, while we delved into the many options of tapas. Fitting for a larger group of people to sample the spirit of Spain while relaxing outside to drinks and chit chat. We went with pan con tamate, stuffed piquillo peppers, batatas bravas, octopus à la Gallegos, and garlic shrimp. A flavorful journey into Spain. I finished off with the liquid dessert, a Spanish coffee, and flan split amongst the table. La Terraza transports you with artistically crafted passion. I'm looking forward to adventuring further.

We ate outside and it was delightful. By the time we left the inside was about 75% full and outside about 1/3. The dry white wine from Spain was delicious and at a reasonable price. The empanadas combo - shrimp - chicken - beef - spinach, well honestly, the best I've had in US. Served at the right temperature - hot - overly stuffed- crispy exterior - a sure standout. The white beans with garlic and huge shrimps were heaven on my taste buds. A definite eeorded when returning. And the crème brûlée was served warm and beautifully presented. This is authentic Spanish food. And the owner/chef, Carlos, is from Spain. Not Colombia. Not Cuba. Not any other Spanish speaking country. SPAIN. For real. And he is outstanding. Santiago was our server. Eager. Bright. Knew all the dishes. Made helpful recommendations. He will be our requested server when we return for dinner and a flamenco show. Can't wait! If you're the patron who drives up in a huge Mercedes. Or Bentley. Or Porsche. With a plastic face and a sweater hung around your shoulders, and eat these delicious authentic dishes and complain tha it was so expensive. It should have been less what it was. Blah. Blah. Blah. Stay home. Eat in with food you pickup or have delivered. Review your investments. Don't come here, eat, and then criticize the portion sizes (which are larger than expected), and most importantly authentic and delicious. And definitely don't go to the nail salon across from the restaurant and trash it to your technician,!who could never afford it.

They accept cashapp and zelle payments in cash you don't have cash. As soon as you walk in, the hostess is right at the entrance. We checked in our table, but the rest of our party hadn't arrived so we sat at the bar for some pre-dinner drinks. The bartender was amazing and super nice. He made some great food recommendations as well so we were excited to get to the table. Once everyone arrived, we were sat pretty quickly. There was a flamenco show going on too so there was people dancing and having a good time. The ambiance is definitely lively. For food, we decided to go with a bunch of tapas, and honestly they were all amazing. We got pan con tumaca, garbanzos con chorizo, croquetas de bacalao, albondigas a la madrillena, gambas al ajillo. While they were all good, my top hits were the garbanzos con chorizo, croquetas de bacalao and the gambas al ajillo. I highly recommend trying the 3 if you're a fan. The Spanish wines paired nicely and they had a good variety to pick from. Overall it's a great restaurant to spend time with family and friends.

We were able to try lots of dishes (it's tapas of course) and each one was delicious! My favorite was the oxtail and octupus. We were also served sangria--both white and red--which were delish! Just caution that it's pretty much valet parking and when a photographer comes around, expect them to try to sell you the photo they took, printed and framed for you. You can kindly decline! I would definitely want to come back for a date night or even a couples night out. It has the perfect ambiance for it.

It's a nice family-owned restaurant with a friendly and helpful staff. The menu looked exhaustive, but I was only interested in the Cubano. The sandwich was great, no doubt about it.

They were delicious and I am stuffed! Based on my afternoon, I'd say skip Sawgrass and spend more time at Don Carlin.

It took a while for the food to be ready for a restaurant that wasn't crowded but when it arrived it was delicious. All of the meats at Picada were juicy and not dry like in other restaurants we tried. Everything was very tasty and well seasoned. The place has a super cute decor and the place is very clean.

The music was bumping, people were dancing, and the energy was great. It was just me and my friend, a party of two. One thing I've noticed, though, is that every time I visit, the host tries to seat me away from the action. I asked to sit on the side with the music, and she told me there were no seats available. However, when I pointed out a couple of open tables, she suddenly said we could sit there. SMH. I ordered a Caipirinha, which was great as always. They really know how to make that drink. For my meal, I got the guac burger (no bacon), but it came out with bacon on it. My fries were also lukewarm when they first arrived. I don't eat bacon, so I let the waitress know. She said they'd make another burger, but when it came back, I could tell it was the same one because I had broken the bread the first time, and it was broken in the exact same place. What if I had been allergic? That's really concerning. The fries also seemed like they were just refried. They were darker, harder, and still looked like bottom-of-the-bag fries. I didn't complain, I just made the best of it. To be fair, the actual burger patty was seasoned very well and tasted great. When the bill came, the burger was $2 more than the price listed on the menu. I pointed it out, and the manager explained that prices had increased but they hadn't updated the menu yet. He honored the menu price, as he should. This spot is located in a large plaza with several other businesses, but parking is plentiful, which I appreciate. And honestly, I would visit again because I actually do like this place, it just wasn't a good night service wise. I'd also suggest putting little lamps on the table because its very dark. Thankfully I used my phone light to see that there was bacon my burger and the hostess gave my friend a little flashlight to see the menu. My friend enjoyed her food. This night's experience was a 3 out of 5
