I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tapelia while on vacation in Miami, a Spanish cuisine restaurant located in the heart of Miami Beach. I must say, my experience was nothing short of delightful! While there were a few limitations, the overall dining experience was excellent.

To start, the calamari was okay. While it wasn't the highlight of the meal, it was decently prepared, and but the texture was slightly tough. However, the real stars of the show were the Argentina beef, spinach, and chicken empanadas. These little pockets of goodness were divine! Bursting with flavors, they were perfectly seasoned and filled to perfection. I couldn't get enough of them!

One thing to note is that Tapelia has a limited alcohol license, so the drink options were a bit restricted. Nevertheless, the staff made up for it with their attentive service. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with any questions or recommendations we had. Their hospitality truly added to the overall dining experience.

The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor had a charming Spanish touch, making it feel like a slice of Spain right in Miami.

All in all, Tapelia is a wonderful spot for those looking to indulge in Spanish cuisine with a touch of Argentina. While the calamari may not have been outstanding, the empanadas alone made up for it. The limited alcohol selection was a minor setback, but the exceptional service and overall experience more than made up for it. I would recommend Tapelia to anyone seeking a unique and flavorful dining experience in Miami.
