La Especial — Restaurant in Miami

Local eater in my neighbor hood. I eat here often but as of lately the customer service is horrible. I walked in this morning and stood at the counter, wait like I usually do for someone to service me. I stood there for at least 5 minutes with out being acknowledge, or even spoken to. I waited patiently only for everyone that was busy to finish the task and completely ignored me at this moment I asked if anyone seen me one of the customers that realize I was standing there for a while started calling the owner. He didn’t look up and said, what do you want? I said I’ve been standing here for a minute. No one has asked me what do I need or even say good morning I seem like he was having a bad day but I don’t care if I’m having a bad day I still have to pay for my purchase so he doesn’t get to have that customer service. I won’t be returning here. Horrible Customer Service...

I always get their large chicken noodle soup and large glass of their natural freshly squeezed orange juice. This will total you less than $10. Not even fast food places can compete with that price. Besides it's a healthier, heartier and homelier alternative that all other options in the street.

Good for a quick inexpensive...

This place absolutely slaps. And because gentrification hasn't hit it hard yet prices are still super reasonable. After this review that might all change but that's ok it's worth it because I would love to see this business do well. Last time I ordered ham and Swiss empanadas and they were FRESH out the fryer so good and my friend enjoyed...
