From the moment you walk in, you're…read morewrapped in the vibrant energy of live music, laughter, and that unmistakable Cuban warmth that feels like home. The ambience is lively & warm. The service was Attentive, genuine, and on point. You can tell the team cares deeply about every table. We felt welcomed and completely taken care of all night. And the food... hands down, every single dish transported us. As second-generation Cuban Americans, we grew up with these flavors -- plates that filled our childhood tables, surrounded by family, stories, and culture. Every bite brought back memories of home-cooked meals, Sunday gatherings, and our grandparents' kitchens. The seasoning, the textures, the presentation -- authentic and elevated without losing soul. This place doesn't just serve Cuban food. It brings our culture to life. Thank you Mikey for sharing your art with our community, you truly created art on this. Mikey is the owner , who is very talented and committed to creating nostalgic bites with good quality ingredients. We love that you love why you do so much. If you're looking for nostalgia, flavor, music, and heart all in one night -- La Bodeguita is it. Run, don't walk. And bring all your people.

(FYI: This is NOT a traditional Tapas restaurant. I mean it is, but with a...Miami twist/sprinkle…read moreon top). TAPAS TUESDAY IS WHERE IT IS AT! They have both outdoor and indoor seating and a free off-street parking lot and also free street parking that is almost always available. There is also a small bar area just inside and to the right of the door. I like sitting outside if there is still daylight since it is quite dark inside, and there are fans on the outside patio. The service is attentative, although I've found that I get speedier service when I am inside rather than inside. Tapas Tuesday has 1/2 off select tapas, typically the most common (patatas bravas, croquettas, gambas al ajillo, etc) but this establishment executes them well. Be warned: the patatas bravas have a more... "cubanito" style with sriracha (hot sauce) and a spicy pink mayo. The potatoes are also cut to be circular and "chip like" rather than the usual cubes that are typical of patatas bravas. Still, crispy and tasty. Also, the boqueronitas a la vinagreta are good. What I like about this place is that the portions are larger than most other tapas restaurants. Two dishes for 1 person can be enough to be quite filling. I also liked the bocadillos de jamon serrano and manchego. ONE ingredient that I do NOT think the establishment treats well is the pulpo. Do they cook the octopus well? YES. Perfectly cooked. But the dishes are BLAND. I taste nothing. I get the good texture of the octopus, but no flavor. Even the "guapo del mar- pulpo" with "truffle" tastes just like octopus in oil. To end on a high note, they have a great cocktail list. They have a martini that I LOVE with I believe lillet in it? Either way, when I am craving tapas that wont break the bank and am in the Hialeah area, I know where to go!

The service is very good as they offer an outside window for coffee, shakes, and small order pick ups.

I feel obligated to write a review for this cafeteria/ restaurant based on my own experience…read more I have read some reviews that say service here is bad. In my experience is actually the opposite. Maybe it is due to the fact that this restaurant changed ownership or management a few years ago and things seem to have improved since. Service is fast, friendly and attentive. Other reviews said that they pay no attention to detail as far as food presentation..... "it is a cafeteria" not a Michelin rated restaurant. Having said that, quality of food here is good, it is plentiful and inexpensive. Most clients here are from warehouses around the area and it only opens from early morning until like 6 pm. They bake their own Cuban bread on premises and have lots of daily specials ranging from like 6.50 to 9.00 dollars. Their Ajiaco, a Cuban soup, is delicious. Also very good here is Rabo encendido (oxtail stew) among others. But almost everything is good here... rice, beans, sandwiches and batidos. Having a coffee after lunch? Mary's cortadito is very good.... and it doesn't lack presentation either. Cold beers are always available. Thumbs up.

Came for dinner on a weekday. Mixed feelings on the food, quality, authenticity, and cost. The…read moreservice was good. They came to fill up waters, were very nice, just that they were a little slow. The place is nice and they must have live music because there is a small stage at the corner setup for a musician, maybe a band of 2 people. Now the food. Overall expensive for what you get, except for a couple of things. The appetizers were actually good. We had croquetas de bacalao (cod fish croquettes) and croquetas de Chistorra. The chistorra croquettes were quite good. Each order brought 6 small croquettes for $12 each. So each bite was $2. Fried calamari were ok but way too pricey at $14 for the quality. Maybe acceptable if it was from Dominos pizza at half the price. The grilled octopus was good but at $24 for one 8-inch tentacle, it's a bit much. Overall, appetizers were good. For entrees we ordered Sardinas fritas at ajillo. These were good and for $14 I think the price was fair. Fabada Asturiana for $13 was not good. It felt as it was made a day ago. The fabes were overcooked and mushy. The morcilla was not of great quality. It had a piece of pork belly fat that was not very appealing and it didn't have neither the taste or traces of lacón (ham hock). The Callos à la madrileña were also a letdown. Not enough broth. It was made with garbanzo (chickpeas) which is not traditional. It has chistorra instead of chorizo. And the tripe did not taste great and at $18 it was even worse. Lastly we also got the grilled chicken with potatoes. $24 was a bit much. This was probably worth no more than $14. The chicken was cooked ok, but they left a lot of the nerves, fat, and cartilage so it was not a great experience eating it. We are of spanish descent and eaten great Spanish food. This restaurant unfortunately was not a great experience in the food quality. Some things were good, some just bad, and overall was way to expensive for what it is. I probably won't be coming back.

After walking…read moreinside, we were immediately greeted by the owner and chef, Felipe, who was so welcoming and friendly, and I felt right at home. There was deliciously fresh complimentary bread (and complimentary water too, which was amazing to find in Miami). The bread was still hot from the oven, and it was nice and crunchy but still soft. The table had olive oil for the bread too, but I don't think it necessarily needed it because it was so good by itself already. The Valencia Paella had chicken and seafood in it, and I honestly loved the combination. The chicken was cooked perfectly so it was nice and tender and also well-seasoned. The seafood had great flavor, and I really enjoyed trying all the different kinds. I love paella, and I've been looking for a good paella ever since I tried it in Spain for the first time. After debating between a few options in Miami, I was so happy I went with this restaurant because I was very satisfied with their paella. Overall, the food was amazing, and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The experience couldn't have been better, and I'm already eager to go back to try the Iberian Ham and say hi to Felipe again.

Su aroma, los detalles pintorescos --donde la madre patria respira en cada rincón-- y los platos servidos con amor hicieron temblar los recuerdos hasta humedecerme la mirada. España no es solo un lugar que visité; es un latido, el más intenso de mi vida. En Madrid escuché por primera vez el corazón de mi hija, ese sonido sagrado que hizo brotar mis lágrimas y que me volvió la mujer más eterna. Saber que fue concebida allá convierte a esa tierra en un territorio íntimo, donde la vida se escribió dentro de mí. Y, como si el universo quisiera guiñarme un ojo, apareció Yusnier, quien nos atendió con suma gentileza y profesionalidad, interesado en "Complicidad Desnuda", mi segundo libro. Lo grabé y fotografié, porque hay encuentros que merecen quedarse. Disfruto el arte culinario español como pocos. Así como alimenta mi cuerpo, lo hace también con la memoria, la nostalgia y el deseo del regreso. Gracias al restaurante "El Pimiento". Gracias, España, que me susurras al oído. Gracias a quienes creen en mis letras. Hoy me siento profundamente feliz, plena y absoluta con lo que soy: una autora libre, que escribe lo que quiere y como quiere, sensible, erótica y fiel a su "Complicidad". Laidy Pérez Escritora
