    Grouper
    Eli S.

    We were in Hialeah and my husband remembered this restaurant from when he used to work in the area many moons ago. We went in for lunch ordered the seafood rice and grouper. Everything came out super hot which I like and it was yummy. Ramon was our waiter he was super attentive and nice. If you are in the area try them out. BTW they have beer and wines.

    Paella

    Delicious seafood in an intimate neighborhood environment . Fresh seafood , generous portion . Try 1) paella 2) minutas 3) fresh seafood We visit from far , but totally worth the trip. It's not fancy , it's unpretentious but it serves good food . It's also affordable , for today's prices

    Frozen vegetables.

    If you want quality ingredients I would not recommend this restaurant. I normally only write good reviews and if food was okay I just don't write a review but this place should be rated accordingly. As you walk in, you see cracker wrappers all over the floor. There is no full bar even though they have a bar layout adjacent to the restaurant. The service was friendly but seemed lost when asked about GF cross contamination and seasonings. For a starter you get crackers in plastic sleeve and a side of Cuban spread. It's a very cheap presentation. I normally take photos when food looks delicious but food was so meteoric looking that I didn't take pics before starting to eat. We ordered veggies as a side for an entree and got literally frozen veggies from a bag that were thrown on the grill but still included the water from the frozen bag. We ordered a Mahi and it was over cooked, dry, and stiff. We also ordered rice and shrimp and the rice was soggy thought the flavor was good but was still missing more seafood taste and garlic. They also deep fry fish. They bread it heavily and then fried it. It looked like KFC in a size of a thick steak. Horrible presentation. The food was so greasy too. Especially their plantains. The only thing that was enjoyable was the calamari. This place also doesn't let you pay until after they pick up the plates. I've never experienced that before. It was the strangest thing. Don't go here for especial occasions like birthdays. Not worth it!!

    This is my go to for a cheap quick meal. My Spanish is rusty, let's just say non existent and the wait staff's English is sinking to. But I'm always able to order what I want to eat without a hitch. The have numbers on the menu and I can say those. You get a decent amount of food fir around $6-8 bucks. I haven't ventured to the paella or any of the more expensive dishes but trust me I will. The food is always flavorful, freshly made and hot when you pick it up.

    Not the place it used to be... la minutera has declined. I came here for a quick lunch with a coworker and food was very disappointing. Service was okay and prices not exactly cheap. But for the quality of food that we received it was definitely overpriced. I won't be coming back anytime soon.

    Tostones "rellenos", 4 shrimps, 3 plantains.

The fish market is connected to restaurant and you can come in buy a fish and they'll cook it for you to eat there. In addition, the covered patio area has ample space and there's a bar as well service all kinds of drinks. It is located in a very factory dense area, so it's very popular amongst blue color workers.

The restaurant itself is clean and looks like they try, but it does not really create an engaging atmosphere or fully connect customers with its theme. In our opinion, the prices are too high for what is offered. We have visited restaurants with ocean views and better overall dining experiences that cost 15-20% less per plate, whether seafood or land-based dishes. Even a simple coffee here costs around $5, while other restaurants nearby offer similar or better food for almost 60% less. Unfortunately, we did not find anything unique, exotic, or locally inspired that could justify the high prices. Overall, the experience was average and did not match the cost.

But the real deal is where you buy what you want and decide how they will cook it for you. Theres a limited number of tables outside for eating, but BYOB and bring your friends so they can lay claim to one of them. We ordered three pounds of shrimp fried and let me tell you the breading HITS. Most are fried with the skin on and honestly the seasoning makes you want to eat it that way too. A side salad, side of tostones, french fries, and an order of conch fritters to add. The side salad wasnt totally fresh (could pass...BYOSalad too), the fries were what you expect, tostones were over pressed but i like them in any format and were a perfect side to the camarones fritos. The conch fritters were extra crisp...pretty good flavor but felt a bit overcooked. Go, get things fried, squeeze the lime and pack it away. Bring the extra goodies to beber and come back again for the fix. The best part of fishing without the fishing.

Quite little Seafood Restaurant in a small Strip Mall has a kinda unique feature that you don't see too often in South Florida but is common in my "Neck Of The Woods", there's a Fresh Seafood Market attached. The menu is not large but it has some pretty good items.

But the star of the show are the Fresh Shucked Oysters. From Virginia and only a $1.25 during Happy Hour, these oysters are delicious and have a different taste than their primos from the Gulf Of Mexico that I grew up on.....delicious nonetheless. The great staff makes dining here a much better experience. You're warmly welcomed and presented with a little bite of Krab Salad as soon as you sit. Happy Hour starts at 4PM and ends at 7PM. Do not miss the opportunity to indulge, it's a nice gateway to the great dinner you'll enjoy.
