Tapelia - Miami Beach (FL)

2 /5 cantik: Stopped here for lunch with 6 people. The server told us sangria was $5/mug for happy hour but charged us $7.95 each. I only noticed when checking the bill later. The next day, the manager offered complimentary sangria to make up for it, which was nice, but the dishonesty was disappointing. We ordered salad, empanadas, tortilla española, milanesa napolitana, and seafood paella for 3 people ($89.95). Portions were generous, but the food was bland across the board – even the expensive paella lacked flavor. They automatically add 7% FL sales tax, 2% Miami Beach tax, and 20% service charge to your bill, so the final price adds up quickly. Service was friendly, and would recommend to order the fettucini pasta which is reasonably priced, taste good and good portion, but I cant recommend the paella. Verify all prices before ordering, especially when they advertised their happy hour deal.

4 /5 Makay Alldredge: Came because of the high reviews and ratings. Fantastic location, felt like we were in Spain again. Our server spoke little English and served almost everything correctly. My dish was completely wrong and our waitress wouldn’t fix it. I’m not a complainer so I felt bad even asking but I really did want to try what I had ordered. After an hour of waiting and a different waiter asking if things were ok, she fixed it. Food was amazing and would go back again but would hope to not have the same waitress because we had to beg to get refills of water and a bill? Unheard of.

5 /5 Rebecca Lynch: The food is not consistent. The first time I went there and ordered the crispy red snapper. It was big,very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. So, I went there again and ordered the same dish. But the fish is smaller, bland and over fried. But, it’s still a good value compared to other restaurants. We got complimentary sangria when getting our checks which is nice.

5 /5 Ярослав Пилипчук: A very atmospheric place! Separately, I want to highlight the staff here is 10/10!!! Very welcoming, pleasant and friendly!) The food is delicious! Tartar is amazing, mussels are probably the most delicious I’ve ever eaten! Sangria is just amazing! I think we’ll come back here more than once!)

4 /5 Gabriel Seah: Meat paella was supposed to be pork & chicken but we only found 1 piece of pork. The rest was a mix of boneless (slightly dry & on the bland side) & bone in (moist & tasty) chicken. The rice was good with a rich taste & good moistness. The red peppers had a nice sweetness. It was a pretty big portion. They automatically served us tap water at the start but service after that was sparse (it was a busy night). They charge a 20% service charge like most (or all) restaurants in the area.
