"This is the best tapas I've had outside of Spain! The food and wine selection is excellent, and the service and atmosphere are fantastic. Since it’s a small restaurant, be sure to make a reservation!"
I alway love going to this place. It 's a wine /tapas restaurant in a gasoline station on SW 17th Avenue and US1 in Miami. Florida. The ambiance is alway whatever you want it to be. You can dress up or just hang with friends. Tonight we got there with no reservation. You really do need one. The place is small but they found us two chairs at the smallest bar ever. A perfect, incredible, amazing time was had by all!The waitress, Lydia, was amazing. She took time to make sure my husband understood what wine to pick (a red) and she expertly knew that a red sangria was in my future.We picked the Combinacion Meson . With cured pork loin, Serrano ham, Spanish chorizo and manchego cheese. It came wi...
El Carajo is a local staple and if you haven't made it out here, I recommend you do. It's a beautiful little hole in the wall restaurant that's in the rear of a gas station....yes.. a gas station. Now before you say huh? Hear me out, it's a locals favorite and you're safe if you make reservations because it does become busy. Seating is limited as they have high top seating, table seating, and seats at the bar. El carajo also has take out as well if you order ahead. This Spanish wine bar/restaurant has over 2,000 wines to choose from. The staff here works very hard to make your experience special and memorable. Antonino helped us out with probably one of the best colada's I've had. The Manage...
El Carajo Miami Restaurant provides a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that truly exceeded my expectations. Although it’s situated in an industrial area, the lively and inviting indoor decor creates an appealing environment. This spot is perfect for those seeking a casual dining experience with family. The menu showcases classic Spanish cuisine at reasonable prices. We sampled the boquerones, octopus, caldo gallego, and croquetas, all of which were fresh and authentic. The generous portions are ideal for sharing family-style. While the food may not be extraordinary, it is solidly enjoyable comfort food at fair prices. The friendly wait staff strive to ensure a pleasant experience and ca...
We ended up sitting at the bar, where we could enjoy the lively interactions between the staff. As for parking, it wasn’t ideal, but I imagine it’s better if you arrive earlier. I had to wait for someone to leave before I could park. The venue is actually quite small; the front part is a gas station, but they have an impressive selection of wine available. It’s truly an adult playground! Everyone working here seems genuinely happy, which greatly enhances the overall experience. The staff is constantly bustling around, making sure everything runs smoothly. Even though the space is small, it has a vibrant atmosphere and was packed the whole time we were there, so I highly recommend making a re...

If someone told me I'd find amazing eats at the back of a gas station I'd tell them they are crazy.... But it's true! Despite its odd location, this is the best place for tapas in Miami! It is quaint and has an intimate vibe.There is a huge wine selection and you can select a bottle to have with your meal at an excellent price. The menu is full of delightful authentic Spanish tapas. There is an assortment of small tapas to larger meals and tablas the meat tabla is our favorite to share. Service has always been top notch. Be sure to make reservations if you're coming in on a weekend.
This spot is located right by a gas station but don't be surprise when I tell you how good the food is, OMG! It is tapas style , very flavorful , and authentic. You are also able to select a bottle of wine and they charge $10 to open it while you dine. They have a variety of tasting menus and a great lunch menu.Yadira was such a great server and had great recommendations.I would recommend getting the croquetas, their paella, and their octopus ! The vibe is very traditional and a good place to bring your family.
The atmosphere is small, cozy, and beautifully decorated. Although we didn’t indulge in any drinks, you can select any wine from the front store to enjoy with your meal! We shared several tapas dishes, all of which were delicious. Our favorites were the Datiles Envueltos en Tocino (bacon-wrapped dates) and the Pulpo al Aijillo (sautéed garlic octopus) — I highly recommend trying those! The service was prompt and attentive. If you’re on the lookout for a unique tapas experience, this is the place to go!
The food is excellent. I highly recommend the bacon-wrapped dates, any of the octopus dishes, and the paella, which is always delightful. Just keep in mind that the paella is made to order, so it takes a little time to prepare. Be sure to place that order first and enjoy some smaller bites while you wait.
Especially on weekends, make a reservation to avoid long wait times. The seating is limited, but it's definitely worth the wait!

The restaurant itself is charming and exudes all the Spanish vibes you could want. There’s a nice ambiance created by soft Spanish guitar music in the background, which adds to the overall experience—it almost feels like you’re dining in a cave (in a good way)! All the food we ordered came out quickly and was incredibly fresh. It was delicious and paired perfectly with our wine. I highly recommend checking this place out!
