We truly enjoyed this Spanish restaurant. Great vibe with friendly service. The menu is loaded with many mouthwatering options. The food was incredible. Visually appealing and bursting with delicious flavors and aromas. The strawberry Mojito was refreshing perfection.

Conveniently location at Lincoln Mall, the ambiance was lively and energetic. The service is impeccable, they make sure we had everything we need and are comfortable. The seafood is perfect, we enjoyed the cocktail. Highly recommended people who came here, this place is a must-have.

The service at this restaurant was unreal - very friendly and accommodating. They brought water multiple times for our dog (we sat on the patio). Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars because the food is so expensive for the quality you get. This seems like a Lincoln road touristy restaurant, not a place to get some great food. The atmosphere and service were amazing though! The drinks were also good and the prices were not bad.

Good vibes. Always busy. The owners are really good people. Always have a warm smile when I pass by. That's really appreciated. Nothing but love. Haven't eaten there yet but look forward to it. I love seafood and they sure serve it up. Everything from the land and sea. Join them for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed.

Great food experience. We had paella and some salmon wrap appetizer.. great sangria and beet selection. Portion were huge. Service was amazing. Jorge did a great job attending us. Looking forward to coming back and try more dishes. Prices are very reasonable for been by south beach. Happy hour drink prices while you eat

This place was so delicious and located right by a parking garage. You can sit inside or outside and we sat inside due to the weather. It was my sons birthday and they came out with a horn and sang happy birthday. Very nice staff our waiter Jorge was amazing and made sure we had a great time on top of helping his coworkers get everyone inside and out of the storm. I definitely recommend their paella it was absolutely delicious!!

AMAZING Spanish food!!! We ordered the croquettes and the garlic shrimp as appetizers, they were heaven!!! And then we went for the seafood paella with lobster! The rice was so creamy and flavorful! The tapas are bigger than you expect so you get your moneys worth! The service was outstanding, friendly, approachable, always checking if you need anything. Laura was out waitress and she is awesome! Definitely coming back when in town again!

Tapelia could not be more perfect! The staff was amazing and accommodating, especially Manuel our waiter who was nothing but smiles, attentive, and gave us all the best recommendations on the menu. This was hands down the best paella I’ve ever had and I will be dreaming about it everyday when I’m away from Miami! Manuel made sure we ate it at the right temperature and recommended the tasty sangria pitcher to go along!!! He really made our night and enhanced our experience! I couldn’t have asked for a better waiter. Can’t wait to come back to Miami to eat here again!!!! :)

New to Miami so i checked reviews before visiting anywhere. It was rated really high but not as I expected. Calamari was good. Lobster was a bit dry. I almost threw up eating the paella. Very fishy and shrimp/other seafood were not fresh and dirty. Flies were gathering around our food and drinks as well. Not sure if it was a bad day to visit but it was highly disappointing. Server and other staff were nice

We had Nahir as our server and she was absolutely amazing. We weren't sure what to get and slightly overwhelmed. She helped us navigate the menu. The Sea food is great value for money and the drinks are discounted during happy hour. Highly recommend! Also will say unless you are incredibly hungry, the paellas are a little too big for 2 people.

Ordered dishes: - meat paella: very big, but ideally for 2 people. Tasty, aromatic. For me should be a little bit more spicy. But very good👌🏼; - cesar salad: tasty, good flavours, good portion for 1 person; - calamari: tasty, fresh, big portion, very nice and good sauces, especialy red one. Quick and friendly service! Spanish music during eating😀

FULL BREAKFAST UNDER $15! We are eating here now and the food is literally the best I’ve had on this trip to Miami, so I had to write a review!! They have all types of food but I ordered breakfast and I got an omelette, fries, orange juice, bacon, mini salad and bread for under $15-and it’s delicious!! The location is perfect-right in between all of the shops and you hear the music from inside but it’s not too loud. I HIGHLY recommend!

My waitress Catalina is super nice. She provides great suggestions and service! Food here are delicious! It is my first time visiting Miami. My friend and I we both had a wonderful night here!

We are all taught not to go to the places with pictures on the menu. There are always exceptions to that rule. From the hosts to my server Osvaldo, everyone just wants to have fun. If you can hit happy hour, you'll love the sangria!

The Service was Excellent..Our waiter Adnan was wonderful... Host Kevin was superb..Love the the people & service & food. These Spanish People can cook..I'm Jamerican & trust me they captivated me with the food. We had Fried Red Snapper, Mussells, Lobster Magarita, Sangria... Everything was excellent.

At Tapelia, the food is good, but not great. I will get into the details, but it falls short of what you would expect from a restaurant in Spain. Although it is definitely a place for tourists, the reality is that it is nonetheless one of the best restaurants on Lincoln Road. Although they heavily advertise their paellas, they are below average in quality. They use colorant (not saffron) and the seafood was heavily over cooked. It was also really odd that the waiter was pushing us to get the meat paella instead, and told us to absolutely not order the black rice paella (more on service in the next paragraph). The gambas al ajillo and the fried calamari were solid choices, as they are your reliable staple dishes. You can also never go wrong ordering jamón ibérico, but it was disappointing how thin the manchego cheese slices were. I recommend the cheese, ham and cod croquetas as they are tasty and great for sharing. The service at this place was really odd. For the most part, the waiter was more worried about finishing his shift than anything else. I do not understand why this restaurant does not allow other waiters to close out tables during shift changes. The waiter was also mostly absent throughout our lunch. We will definitely try other places before coming back to Tapelia, but we will probably come back since we love the Lincoln Road area.

My first time in Miami! A was walking by the restaurant and I felt the positive vibes from the staff when greeting!! I also work in the industry and I know how how it feels! Great food!! A must try a mixed cheese platter and paella! The service from karmina and the actitud from the staff made a great dining experience!!

Outstanding service! Friendly, smiley and very welcoming. The food is delicious and portions are huge. No wonder they are always packed. I had a caesar shrimp salad and a grilled octopus (highly recommend!). This would be my go-to place in South Beach from now on. Cheers!grille

Great food, we ate outside and the ambiance was pleasant. There were fans available and made it comfortable. The server was very kind and accommodating. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had good recommendations. Highly recommend! We shared calamari and a paella marisco for three, and it was delicious! Our server recommended the classic sangria. It was refreshing and a great recommendation!

If you’re in Miami I definitely recommend checking this place out! Really great food and service! We loved the fried snapper and paella. I also want to highlight the amazing service we got from Laura and Ramsey. They provided top notch service. I’m going to have to stop by again before the end of my trip!

Just had the most wonderful diner. We had the grilled salmon 🍣 which was outstanding delicious. And the service was amazing like always. We are a repeating customers. We were served by none other then Emmanuel. He took excellent care of us. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

We came to Miami in 2021 and ate here. We liked it so much we came back in 2022 The food was AMAZING. Fried red snapper and Grilled octopus are delicious. Our waiter Marcos was also amazing. He is excellent at his job. This place must have good owner and manager to hire such fine people.

Martin was the best server! He was very hospitable and professional. He was knowledgeable about the menu, gave us recommendations and helped us make decisions on what to order. He provided us with all the necessary items, water and condiments. We loved that he offered to take a photo of us and even took various angles… Thank you for that! Tip: He also makes an amazing Sangria! The food was delicious as well! We will come back!

Fun spot in the midst of all the action of Lincoln rd in South Beach. I was skeptical of getting caught in a tourist trap but it was actually delicious! We had an arugula salad (not pictured) which had a ton of goat cheese, nuts and cranberries. The steak was well-cooked and good and the paella was excellent. Our waitress Carmina paid special attention and was very sweet. Good music and fun!

Food tasted good and the portion sizes were big as well. Service was also good. Restaurant was busy but they have many seats. They have both a patio and seats inside the restaurant. Highly recommend the churros for desserts as they were hot, crispy, and soft on the inside. Super delicious.

Very wonderful atmosphere and very delicious food. Everyone from personal is very friendly and kind. We’re were in Miami for 10 days and there wasn’t a day that we didn’t come here for breakfast or dinner and sangria of course :) greetings from Lithuania/Norway😊

The Food was delicious and Nahir our waitress so nice and caring. And at least we liked the music and the location. Definitely our best dinner experience during our week in Miami Beach. Highly recommended <3

Food was really good here. We had the chicken flat bread, pot of mussels and the seafood paella. It was really tasty and was a great first meal for us in Miami. Our waitress Laura was really nice and gave us good service. Would recommend coming here.
