    Chilling at La Vasca Deli
    Nelson M.

    Hi everyone and I hope you are all doing well. Well we went out with some friends of ours last night to a Spanish restaurant near the Little Havana district of Miami called La Vasca Deli. We had never heard of it until our friends mentioned it as they said they really enjoyed it and were good friends with the owner. Now this restaurant is located in a very unassuming strip mall on SW 8 Street but do not let the location fool you as this restaurant is the real deal. It has deli section with lots of Spanish cheeses and other items; also, has a wonderful selection of Spanish wines. Hard to miss as there are bottles everywhere. The vibe was that of small European type cafe in Spain and Portugal and was very warm and cozy. The owners are especially nice and provided us with some complimentary bread and some home made crab and salmon spreads with Aoli that were awesome. The restaurant is small so reservations are definitely in order if you are thinking on checking them out and I really recommend that you do. What the owners are saving in operational overhead makes it's way to the quality of their food. We all decided to go Tapas style so we could try a little of the more popular dishes and I have to say it was the right approach. No need to worry on portion sizes either as they are excellent and perfect for sharing. From the home made ham and cod croquettes to the traditional lacón con papas, Spanish seafood medley "Mal de Vida" it was all fresh, made to order and delicious. We really had a wonderful time, eating and reminiscing which is what it's all about right? Parking can be a bit of a problem so if you can't find a spot in the strip mall itself, their is public street parking available and you can drive around back to the residential neighborhood and park anywhere you do not see a "No Parking" sign. Make sure you comply or your car will get towed. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we will be going back again and often! This cozy little gem is as good if not better than many of the upscale Spanish restaurants in Miami and for way less money. So if you find yourself in the Little Havana area or are willing to take a drive to taste some awesome Spanish food feel free to check them out. I am positive you will not be disappointed. Wishing you all a wonderful dining experience and bon appétit m'es amis!

    I came solely for the Cheese Cake, ordered to go, during lunch rush hour, and the location was pretty busy Available parking on the back of the store Entering thru the deli and makes harder to place the order to go. Waiting time was about over 10 mins Cake was nicely packed and 5 stars for this review goes to the flavor of this Vasque Cheese Cake is really amazing, creamy, burnt to perfection and the caramel drizzle on top makes it delectable I forgive the long waiting time on the cramped entrance and i wil definitively come back for another piece of heaven This store is located one block south of the popular versailles restaurant. Now, I am due to come back and try the tapas and other food items i saw on the menu.

    This is a hidden culinary jewel ! Our friends invited us and ordered the cochinillo in advance- omg ! Amazing. We had croquetas , camarones al ajillo & garbanzos fritos as appetizers- a great . The octopus looked amazing as well . The place holds about 50 people , which makes it super quaint and cozy . Highly recommended this place , just sad my father didn't get to try this place, since he loved Spanish food .

    Good was delicious. We had the Fabada, ham and croquettes, fried garbanzos, frituras de bacalao, jarrete of lamb with potatoes and a crema de Catalan. All delicious. The house wine was also great. This is a place to come with time to enjoy the food and who you are with. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

    La Vasca deli was very good. It is important to note that La Vasca is under new ownership as most reviews I read prior to coming here were about how rude the previous owner was. Well, I'm glad to report that this is no longer the case and that the new owners are extremely nice and pleasant. The food itself was also surprisingly good. Fresh ham, chorizo, really good manchego cheese, etc... all was very fresh and very good quality of products. To accompany our meal was very good bread and wine... important players in Spanish cuisine. The selection of wines is very good. Definitely a little bit for everyone's taste and budget. I'll be looking forward to coming back here soon and trying different things. A gem in an unexpected shopping center. My best wishes to the new owners.

    Excellent

    Authentic Spanish with huge selection of wine. Small and perfect it feels like your home in Spain. Fast and friendly service and vibe. Also has market on the side.

    The best pork spanish style in Miami. The owner really takes care of his clients. I really recommend this place

The place was packed, and their pastries looked incredible at the front. The service was quick and attentive, which I liked for a weekday lunch. As for the food, the jamon iberico croquetas were amazing. The jamon iberico and machego platter- how can you get that wrong? The huevos rotos were very good. The pan con tomate could have been crispier and saltier, but other people at the table loved it. The hake on the business lunch was a total miss for me. The fish was overcooked, the sauce was flavorless, and it was this think gelatin like texture that really did not do it for me. Everyone at the table agreed, and the server took it back without question - nice. The paella was good! I thought the rice was cooked perfectly. The cochopo was GREAT and very unique, I'd never had that before. The standout dish was definitely the cuchinillo though - wow.

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.

While we were initially greeted politely and given a nice table, the evening quickly went downhill.I brought a very special bottle of 2013 Vega Sicilia Único. When our server informed us of their "no outside wine" policy, I completely understood but asked if a one-time exception could be made for a corkage fee since it was our first visit. I even offered to buy a bottle from their menu if they allowed us to open ours. The server spoke with the manager, but they refused to accommodate us. For a retaurant that claims to focus on wine, they have a surprisingly limited and poorly curated selection, making their strict policy and lack of flexibility even more disappointing. The food was also a major letdown. While the garbanzos fritos were good, the chorizo tasted very unpleasant. Out of respect for the band, we stayed and ordered croquetas de jamón and papas bravas. Both dishes were borderline inedible, tasting heavily of cheap frying oil and we left them unfinished.To make matters worse, the service became incredibly dismissive after the wine discussion. The restaurant is small, but running the floor with only one server is unreasonable. We were left with empty glasses and had to ask repeatedly for water, which we never received. It is a shame, as a little flexibility and better service could have gained them two loyal new customers. We won't be returning
