I was pleasantly surprised by this venue. The menu offers a great selection of tapas and other dishes, along with a variety of wines. I particularly appreciated the convenience of being able to park my car right there. What intrigued me the most was the atmosphere: people making small purchases at the 'gas station counter' in the front, while in the restaurant at the back, a small group of German-speaking businessmen, still in their suits, were inspecting the quality of their freshly uncorked fine wine bottle. It was quite bizarre, but I absolutely loved it!

My experience in this place was disastrous, I do not recommend it at all. It has no parking, behind a gas station , If you want to be treated as if you were in Cuba. Crazy you have to order the bread, it doesn't matter that they charge you but they bring you what they want, fried chickpeas (with minced meat), sangria that looked like Coca Cola, appetizers before and after, main courses before and after, in no order, a group of Only 7 people, they ate appetizers but we didn't order three paellas, the truth is that any country rice tastes better, they put things on the bill that we didn't ask for and more than 20 minutes waiting for the credit card, they didn't even know how to fix the mess. And the best thing was there was never an apology. I chose the wrong place for my daughter's birthday.

We were offered 4 paellas with a bad smell and hard rise, not well cooked. The manager offered a discount of 1 paella , it should have been 2.The waiter got the order messed up multiple times.Tiny micro portions on the starters.They even had the audacity of charging 18% tip.

Yesterday, March 31, for the first time, 8 members of the family went to eat and we had very bad luck: 4 raw seafood paellas with a bad smell. The administration discounted just one because they said the oven broke and they have the nerve to charge very expensive. and when we got to the house we voted for it because it looked bad, it was so they wouldn't have collected it, it's a lack of respect on my part, I'll never go back there again

The paella was “good”, the cod croquettes were very good, the octopus tapa was cut very thin and not enough, the service was neither good nor bad, the waiter (the boy) made a mistake with some things and was not very pleasant. The manager was very attentive when we told them that the paella was a little hard.

What a quaint little restaurant tucked inside a gas station convenience store! We just ordered a bunch of different tapas to get a taste of everything. It was all amazing! Felt like we were in Spain:)UPDATED REVIEW:Came back to Miami and of course, had to stop at el carajo! We had a birthday dinner celebration and it was the perfect spot to do so! Service was above and beyond, food was spectacular, and the vibes were great! Thank you El Carajo for another unforgettable dinner!

Had not been back for years and last night looking for a place nearby our drive, decided to go since we liked it before. Sadly we were extremely disappointed and we let our server know. She just asked if we wanted something else, obviously we didn’t, after what we had experienced. The garbanzos were dry, no taste, horrible as can be, we ended up having to put some olive oil, to eat them we told her they were not good. The codfish croquetas must be factory made, no good either. We let another couple who sat next to us know. We are not improvised foodies, we have been to Spain, many times, to all the Spanish restaurants in Miami too….. I thought I had been to tasteless ones before but this one won them all. Sorry that’s the truth, and as owners you should look into what happened last night, so it does not happen again. Unfortunately I will not go back nor recommend.
