  It's at a good location right on Coral Way off of the Palmetto in the corner of a shopping center, so that's the first plus point.  Took literally 13 minutes on a Sunday afternoon driving from Country Walk.  Many, many Spanish specialties, and I originally wanted a paella campesina, but since it was going to take 40 minutes, ordered a delicious sopa de mariscos, and masas de cerdo con camarones.  The sopa was a broth full of seafood, and the masas which were in a nice, yellowish sauce were tender.  The shrimp were big and tasty.  Even ordered a sopa to go for my dad, who was craving a fishy soup kind of similar to our Peruvian Parihuela.  Much like Gallegos, we Peruvians love seafood.  This place has been there for many years, and it's overwhelmingly an older crowd which is excellent in order to avoid the typical trashy loudmouths in many Miami restaurants.  I like eating in peace and not listening to other people's mindless drivel.  Will definitely return next or the following week.  Viva Galicia, joder!
  
  October 13: The paella campesina (pork and sausagewas delicious as was the cheesecake.  The duo singing old Cuban and Spanish classics was very nice also.

  This has been thus far the WORSE service I have ever received in my life! Horrible ! So I go in right after work about 1:45 Pm and I'm starving . I ordered something to go because the parking lot was full n I was afraid they would tow it... I asked them if they tow the cars n they said "absolutely" so I said let me order to go.   I wait, wait and wait,  finally it's ready.   I noticed they just threw the food in the bag. No plastic fork or proper silverware or napkins . Nothing! I go and ask the guy for one please to which he replied to me " WE DO NOT GIVE PLASTIC FORKS NOR WE HAVE ANY"  I couldn't believe it, so I asked again to make sure I was hearing it right . And in deed they just throw the food at u. How u eat it it's your problem lol so I was and how am I sppd to eat it , he says with your hands and u shouldn't have ordered anything. I was shocked beyond any reason . Would I have known I wouldn't ordered there . DONT GO THERE! NO VAYAN AHÍ. Es horrible

  The food was delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The fish and meat are extremely tasty. The only reason I am not giving this place five stars is because the waiter was extremely rude. Perhaps he thinks that he is in Spain where you can be rude to the customers because they're on salary. The other issue was the parking ;the parking is absolutely horrendous. I would recommend this place simply because the food is worth it. I will definitely be returning ;hopefully the owners will give their waiters a course in customer service so that I can get the Fivestars that it should have.

  We were in the mood for Spanish tapas and after going to 3 different places (one was closed for remodeling, another was having a private party and the 3rd had the wrong address on Yelp) we stopped at this place. Had always heard good things about it but never tried it.
  They had a special menu for $11.99 that included a main course 2 sides , dessert and a glass of wine or Sangria.
  I ordered a sausage in wine appetizer, shrimp in garlic sauce with fries and rice, bread pudding and sangria.  The shrimp were large, cooked right and very tasty. My husband ordered lamb shank, rice, fries, sangria and torta De Santiago (almond cake).
  Everything was delicious. Servers were very attentive and they had live music.
  Our check was under $40.

  The worst food! Dirty and old.  Zero parking!!
  Table of 12, but getting that 12th chair was a problem. The waiter just didn't get it/ he was focused on the fact that 11 fit better / may have been the case but, what do you do with the 12 th person?  Huh???  Figure it out!
  
  Once seated, we ordered - menu is not varied- table clothes had been sitting on those tables for weeks and stains were everywhere - ugh!
  
  What stands out the most is the "caldo Gallego" a staple for the Spaniards -
  5 of us started with the soup- mistake!
  Kitchen must've just had enough for 2 cause they simply just added a bucket of water to the pot and poof 5 bad bad dirty water.
  
  Terrible!
