Delicious food, fabulous service! Highly recommend. Waiter brought us delicious soup- on the house. When we politely said no thanks, as our group doesn't eat pork, he apologized, cleared the soup and very generously brought a different offering- a chicken soup that was fantastic. He didn't need to do either-it was hospitable and kind. The whole meal was delicious. read more

Everything average and thankfully nothing bad. Regular Spanish Taberna and menu. Caldo Gallego was good but watery as customary in Spanish cousine. read more

Went there Saturday evening. Food was hot. However we were there at 6:00 PM and some appetizers were not available. Food was ok but nothing special. read more

Unique experience in the heart of Pinecrest, great food! Expect a loud atmosphere when music and dancing takes place!

Both lunch and dinner experiences were great. Attentive and friendly service. Highlights are the Jamón Serrano croquettes, fried garbanzos, and the patata bravas. The only low light was the octopus. read more

The food was enjoyable, but I felt the price and portion size didn't quite match the experience.

I came in today to eat with the family, we ordered paella. The waiter was not very friendly and pretty much looked like he hates his job. When the "paella" arrived it was extremely disappointing. We had come to this location for over 15 years when it was a real Spanish restaurant but the owner sold... now it's under a new name... The new owners invested a lot in "looks" but they lack the luster. and now it's Cuban restaurant posing as a Spaniard restaurant. The food is terrible. We took a few bites and asked for the check... I don't recommend anyone who truly knows Spanish cuisine would enjoy this place. And I know the Pinecrest / Coral Gables residents who have traveled the world would agree. If this place is a Spaniard restaurant, then I am an alien from outer space. Not worth even taking a picture of this experience. read more

Too expensive !!! Went on a weekend with the family. The service was very good, the waitress was extremely attentive and cordial. The food was quite good although a couple of portions were very limited, including the octopus. What is really shocking is the prices, extremely expensive for what it is: a horizontal mall restaurant. I ordered a basic Don Julio reposado (not the fancy aged one) and it was $23. We ordered 5 tapas, 3 kids meals and paella for 2 adults. The bill with tax and tip $350. The place was pretty much empty, only a couple of tables. I can see why this place as good as it can be price/value is not worth. Owner: adjust food and liquor prices accordingly and you'll have success! Too much competition in the upscale restaurant segment. read more

Words can't begin to fathom the amount of disappointment my family and I had at this establishment. We came on a Saturday so they had live music which was amazing, the singers all sang great and were very interactive with the customers. But we sat down and after one hour of being seated nobody brought us any water or asked if we had wanted anything to drink. We ordered appetizers and they were subpar to say the least but the food was terrible and that's being generous with my words. The fish smelled and tasted extremely fishy, the chicken was low quality as well as the filet mignon. The salmon was practically raw and the kids didn't even touch their chicken tenders/fry's. Safe to say we threw $800 down the drain on food that nobody touched. Overpriced, low quality, small portions read more

Good food and great service. On Saturdays they have a wonderful Spanish Music Show super entertaining. Full bar which is amazing!!!! Authentic Spanish food. Must haves: croquetas de bacalao and their crema catalana. read more

We ended up going to La Taberna De Ignacio-Pinecrest because of the previous Spanish restaurant. A very disappointing experience. The ambiance is exceptionally impersonal and sterile (not pleasing at all) for fine dining --- definitely, this restaurant isn't fine dining. Although the food was ok (just ok), the unappealing atmosphere and loud music killed the whole experience. Service is good - the food is overpriced: $12.00 for a small, insipid dessert (again...this isn't fine dining). Unfortunately, we had an unsatisfactory experience. We won't be going back. Good luck! read more

New Spanish restaurant opened. They are still getting it organized with its weekend entertainment but the food and service were excellent!!! Try the morcilla, the manchego cheese, and the black paella! Chase it down with some albarino. So happy to have a spainsh restaurant in the neighborhood! read more

Wow! The salt crusted Sea Bass was a masterpiece. It was cut perfectly at the table. The fried grouper appetizer, and the dessert, Bunuelos were the best thing I have tasted. Definitely recommend this place. The service was exceptional as well. read more

Good food great atmosphere and amazing company. The service was great. We came on Saturday for the flamingo show which was well worth it. We had the duck, jamón ibérico, y el pulpo a la gallega. All great. read more

Great ambiance. Good is good, but very expensive. Flamenco show good, but not consistent. I will still go back anyway to get a flavor of Spain. read more

I absolutely LOVE going to La Taberna de Ignacio!! My favorite dishes are the croquetas de bacalao, los boquerones en vinagre, the arroz negro, and many more. The service has always been great and always look forward to going! read more

Very disappointing. To begin, we ordered 3 different starters (aka tapas) , soup, and a main course, and here is how it went. The octopus on the grill should have been grilled more. It was very chewy. The sausage in wine sauce was actually quite good. The spinach crocketts were also good. My wife had the bean soup, (fabada) which was lack luster, and I had a very, very dry rabbit. So much so I could only take one bite. Even the waiter as he was placing it in our to take, at this point for my dog, noticed how dry it was however, he couldn't refrain from saying, "it's one of our most popular dishes". I don't see how??? Note, you will be charged an automatic 18% gratuity, which I'm fine with when service is good, and on point, however, not when a server has to be asked to bring water and we had already finished dinner mind you. Lastly, in a rather feeble attempt to try to save face over the dry rabbit, they offered us a port liquor from a screw top bottle, "red flag", after dinner and after notifying them about the Saharan sun dried rabbit, and it literally was a cheap sweet alcoholic beverage that I wouldn't drink on my worst days or serve to my mother in law... Don't waste your money on this place. If you're looking for really good Spanish (Spain) food, I recommend elsewhere... There is a very good Middle Eastern restaurant a few doors down from this one called Shaddi, that I can recommend.. read more

The food was delicious, tapas as well as the main course. The service was excellent, our waitress, Mily, , was extremely pleasant and attentive. And the entertainment had the most amazing energy, the dancer, singer and guitar player were engaging and very talented. A thoroughly delightful experience, highly recommend a visit. read more

It's nice to have an authentic Spanish restaurant in Kendall. Great food, ambiance and the Flamenco show is very entertaining. We'll be coming more often! read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! Came on a Friday night and they had great and entertaining flamenco and latin music. Highly recommend!! read more

Prices are too high for their plates. I recommend to just visit for the tapas and if you just want to pick at with some wine and chill but no to eat lunch or dinner. read more

Definitivamente superó nuestras expectativas! Desde el momento de la reservación por teléfono la atención fue muy buena, al llegar al restaurante nos recibió una Sra. española muy linda y amable quien nos llevó a nuestra mesa donde nos estaba esperando Mily quien hizo de nuestra velada una noche muy especial, todo lo que nos recomendó estuvo de nuestro agrado y atinó muy bien an nuestros requerimientos! Ahh y sin dejar de mencionar que el Chef se acercó a la mesa para darnos unas recomendaciones! Y bueno la cereza del pastel fue la música en vivo que nos hizo la noche muy divertida! Definitivamente voleveremos pronto! read more

This place is amazing!! Can't say enough things about the servers here, they treat you like family and are in top of every single detail. The tapas are delicious, the place is new and so clean, very inviting. From the outside is just another place in the big shopping center but once you open their door you'll see how cozy and wonderful it is. The bacalao croquettes are the best!! Try it read more

The service and food was great. Overall, wonderful experience and the chickpeas are fire.

Came back a second time craving the sausage. Still great Spanish tapas, friendly service!

This was a very pleasant surprise. Food was good, as was the service. Entertainment was a big plus! Will be back! read more

La Taberna De Ignacio - Pinecrest - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

The Pinecrest edition of La Taberna de Ignacio offers great value. The Fidehua of seafood is excellent and a great value under $25. They have a great Catalan chef who prepares many delicious dishes of Spanish cuisine. The croquetas are quite good, almost as they are in Spain, and so is the Pan de Cristal with ibérico ham. The service is excellent and cordial. They have very nice live music shows during the weekend and reasonable prices on drinks and wines. It is at a stripmall so it is difficult for them to portray a high-end image. The advantage is that parking is free. I would recommend that they use white tablecloths to glamorize the decor a bit. They do use them on special occasions. In sum, this is a place to enjoy very good Spanish cuisine at fair prices. read more

It's a nice restaurant, clean and with an excellent service, but I think its overpriced for the quality of food and the small portion size. Especially the wine. A regular standard serving of a glass of wine is usually 6oz, not 3. You cant pay $14 for less than 3 ounces of wine. Not even in fancy restaurants you get such small servings. read more

My recommendation is to refrain from visiting this restaurant. The plates are very small and the price is very high. We were 8 people and we left frustrated by the quality of the food and the poor service. read more

A group of 8 woman friends went for lunch, 1st and last time visiting LaTaberna de Ignacio. Overpriced menu, taste of food wasn't authentic Spanial, we were taken when we saw an $500+ bill no alcohol 3 of us order fresh lemonade and order a refill, we got charged $8 for each refill. Service was terrible, we had to as for water refills, empty plates were stock up and not picked up & we were the only table in the restaurant from 12:15 to 3:00 pm that we left. Again don't waste your time and money in this place. read more

Not real Spanish food, don't go is a Cuban/Spanish restaurant. I guess is ok but is not a real Spanish restaurant.

Good food, attention and service. Nice place and very attractive. My visit was sunday around 1:00 PM.

The service was excellent. However if you're looking for authentic paella then this is not the place. The bacalao croquettes and tortilla tapas were excellent however the ham croquettes were pretty average. The restaurant ambiance was good. We went early on a Saturday and didn't stay for the show so not sure how loud it gets with the flamenco show. Nice place for tapas but I would pass on dinner. read more

Great atmosphere and food. The entertainment was very interactive and fun Will definitely go again.

Authentic Spanish food like eating in Madrid.We ordered several tapas. Pulpo, tortilla, camarones, croquetas de jamón (octopus, shrimp, Spanish omelette and ham croquettes). Everything was excellent. At first we were not sure because the restaurant was almost empty but it was a Tuesday night. The service was excellent as well. It turned out to be better because we could talk. For desert we had crema Catalana. The prices are a little high but worth it. I would definitely come back to try the paella and other dishes read more

The best restaurant in Pinecrest. Food is very good and the service excellent , friendly, and efficient. Starting with a lady named Milades, and Cristian, Juan Carlos and Don Julio . I was their first client and come 3 times a week. CGMB read more

Soooooo sad this wasn't what I wanted it to be. I had been anxiously waiting. Food wasn't good, like none of it. Service was poor, tip was included maybe that's why. And it was pretty pricey! Ughhh I just want good Spanish food that I don't need to drive to Bird Road for (los gallegos) read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Thank you Dr. Limón for having such bad service which afforded this opportunity to enjoy this great hole in the wall restaurant. Thank you !!!! read more
