Exxodo Gastrobar — Restaurant in Hialeah

REVIEW EDIT: in response to establishment response to my initial review - "these pictures were taken at the end of May 2025, it hasn't been that long. Regardless, my review focuses of food quality (whether it being older or newer plates). * Topping this review was seeing a cockroach inside the establishment, near the hostess desk. The food wasn’t good, lobsters had no taste, fish was overcooked (dry) and hard to cut. One of the worst crevices I have ever had, all I could taste was the lemon. The octopus was barely ok. There were no customer yet it took forever for our food to come out. As we waited I could heard the dings coming through for delivery orders; those order were cooked and sent out before we got our orders even though we had placed it prior and we were actually sitting there.
