La Taberna De San Roman

First time visiting this place. Overall; we had a good time, not crowded at all for a Wednesday evening, not too much traffic to get into the little shopping center and is centrally located near Starbucks.
We ordered the Estremes Ibericos as appetizer. It was a simple & typical dish with just Serrano Ham & Machego cheese. It was delicious; strong taste and yet not too salty. We also ordered the Sopon Marinero (Seafood Soup) and the Garlic Shrimp with fren fries. The soup was really tasty, not too strong with plenty of seafood. My only complaint on this dish was the shrimps. They were very chewy, which is a sign of being overcooked. The garlic shrimp dish was perfect; well balanced with garlic and a butter type sauce. The shrimps were very tender and juicy. We also ordered two glasses of sangria… they certainly became the hit of the night. No doubt the best sangria we had in a long time, hands down!
The customer service was outstanding. The waitress brought us a delicious fresh bread and a courtesy side dish with diced potatoes with mayonnaise & olive oil. as imply tasty! The atmosphere was great, again the place was empty, which was perfect to have a nice conversation. The décor was certainly appropriate for a Spanish restaurant, just like Spain… well balanced and appropriate, love the endless racks of wine throughout the store and there is plenty of TVs set up with different channels including the traditional soccer game. The bathrooms were modern and kept very clean.
The prices are somehow adequate; an appetizer, two dinners and two drinks for $ 65 + tax + tip… OK, this is where I had an huge issue with this restaurant. They placed a mandatory tip on my bill, so I asked the waitress why it was mandatory. She stated the tip was mandatory for bills greater than $ 20 dollars. Really? So about $ 9.50 was attached to the bill. Again, forcing customers to leave this mandatory tip for bills above $ 20 is not fair and if you are going to do it, then have the courtesy to say something upon initial contact or at least have it written on the menu somewhere. I happen to give great tips, often giving 20% or more…, however when I’m forced to do it, then they will get exactly what they took from me. I won’t be back.

The best churrasco steak ever. Fresh fresh fresh and taste so sweet. It was severed with french fried. The color of the meat was brown yellow, medium well-​done is the best choice. The place are big and look like a family business because it looked good taking care of. High recommended!

I found this little gem when i bought a coffee in star buck. It was difficult to see because of its hided location. I was surprised when i got into the restaurant. It was nice and clean. Also, they have happy hours from 12−6pm with wine and beer. I ordered a chicken soup and chicken with french fried. It was tasted so delicious, i was so full after finishing this meal. I need to come back for check their more cuisines. Thanks

Came here tonight for my moms birthday. This place is awful! Nothing is fresh. Starter food was frozen food. I had the entrecôte steak, it was disgusting, bland had no flavor what so ever. Service wasn’t good either. And my husband said the beer is old. Only good thing was the live entertainment DO NOT EAT HERE.

Was walking by on my way to Starbucks when I happened upon this gem. From the outside appearance it looks like a super fancy dining establishment and it is. There are fancy table cloths and glassware. I’m a truck driver so I was a little taken aback but still stayed. We ordered breakfast which is priced well below what I was expecting for the atmosphere. The breakfast was fantastic. I had an omelette with mushroom cheese and bacon. My friend ate scrambled eggs with bacon. The toast was a fresh bread that was warm and delicious. The highlight was the Cuban style coffee. Creamy and hot. Makes truck stop coffee sit in through corner and cry in shame. I wish I could bottle that coffee and take it with me. I only get into this area during morning but I hope one day to come back for lunch or dinner.

The seafood paella is reAlly good and the atmosphere is great. It is a cozy place with Flamenco dancers and singer on Saturday. Great show and food! Try the white Sangria yum!

I went with a group of 15 people for my husband’s Bday. Since this was a surprise party I went earlier that day to «set up» a Tapas Menu for my guesses so that when we arrived we could have Tapas in our Table. I must admit the tapas came out really fast! Not sure if it was because the pre-​selection I made earlier or just because the Tapas are faster than main dishes.
Service was good, can’t complain, Both the Manager and the waitress were very nice.
Food was poor except for the Fried Calamaris; I’m a big fan of Calamaris and have tested many but these were awesome!
The rest of the food was ok, not worthless for the price: Chicken Breast for $ 16.99? Simple no flavor and the side a salad I believe a $ 0.99 from McDonalds is bigger than the side they gave me… Some of my guesses ordered Churrasco and we had to return it because it tasted really bad!
As I mentioned at the beginning not sure if our appetizer came out fast because I pre-​selected then but when we ordered the Entrees it took forever and the place wasn’t full at all.
Ambiance is Good-​Excellent. Best part is the Flamenco Show.
In general, I might come back for the show and perhaps will try other dishes next time! Be aware food is expensive for the quality!!!

Comida española espectacular, el pulpo a la gallega muy recomendado, y las croquetas de bacalao insuperables, realmente muy recomendado este restaurante

La peor comida española del mundo.
Ni se le ocurra comer en este sitio porque:
1. El pan es terriblemente duro.
2.Los pimientos de piquillo rellenos con atún de lata que todavía el agua de la lata estaba en el plato.
3.Champiñones al ajillo de lata y sin sabor.
4.Nos trajeron 8 Calamares rebosados, que eran congelados por $ 10 con una infame salsa rosada de mayonesa y ketchup.
5.Croquetas de bacalao sin bacalao, era puré de papa en forma de croqueta y se le olvido el bacalao.
6.La comida no tiene sabor.
Y el gerente cuando escucho la queja solo pidió disculpas y dijo que había diversas opiniones y que nunca nadie se había quejado de la comida.
Pagamos $ 68 porque nos quitaron la propina que eran $ 10.
Estos es el dinero peor gastado en toda mi vida.

Been coming here for a few years now and since my father knows the owner we get amazing service. The food is awesome, it’s never too crowded so you can actually have a conversation while you’re in there.
The only thing that sucks is the location being right next to the palmetto on the 25^th exit, that’s mainly the reason I haven’t gone back. Takes me 30 mins to just get there from 2 blocks away.

Came here unexpectedly as the golf tournament was delayed, but WOW I must say impressed. It was off lunch time (3pm) and empty, but all our Tapas were excellent. There are few good Spanish restaurants here in Miami and I tend to base them off their Octopus tapa. Theirs was tender and delightful. All else was good as well. I would recommend!

I have been curious to try this restaurant for sometime because it always has a crowd on the weekends when I drive by 25^th Street. My husband and I were in the area last night, and we decided to give it a try. At first when I saw the menu it seemed expensive, compared to other spanish places, but we were already there, and since we live close by, we wanted to try it. We ordered a jar of sangria, whch was delicious, really really good. I wanted more… We shared the house specialty, which is their pork shank, never had it before, never even heard of it, but I figured why not try it … We both reallly liked it, it was interesting, very flavorful. The bread basket was really good too. I liked the food, but. I still think this restaurant, especially the tapas, are too expensive. I heard they have a «tuna» playing on fridays, which is unheard of in Miami. I will probably be back just for that, and the sangria…

I give it 5 stars just because of the Codillo a la brasa which is what I always get there. It is amazingly delicious and the meat is unbelievable! Have that with a couple of glasses of sangia and you are good to go! :)

I went with coworkers on a Friday at 6:00pm … not a soul in the house. I found that weird considering the date and time.
A single tapas platter of manchego cheese (that came with only 7 little slivers) was rather dry and flavorless; not worth the price. The churrasco wasn’t very good either, but the fish fillet someone else ordered was VERY good, light and fresh. All entrees are served with a choice of boiled potatoes, rice, french fries or salad.
The almond cake dessert was the best thing we had. Rich, pure almond, dense and firm, with a sweet natural and pure taste that crept up on you and was followed by the mild sprinkle of powdered sugar they put on top. (La crema catalana was plain and boring.)
I won’t go back to this restaurant, but I’ll be looking for almond cake on the menu of any other Spanish restaurant I go to.

The food is great! but if you go please make sure to layer up b/​c they have the ac blarring!!!

Tapas for over $ 15 each at lunchtime? I think not my friends.
As I must admit I was curious about this place, one look at the menu was what almost got me in the door, but then I glanced to the right and saw the prices for the lunch menu…
Gallegos con gabardina $ 17??? That’s just shrimp and bacon.
Serrano/​manchego entrée 21.95? Sorry, no.
Their location is also less than Ideal next to the palmetto on 25^th ave, however, i heard they have flamenco on fridays and saturdays. Maybe ill stop by with my parents… maybe.
