the best hidden restaurant in Miami,with a incredible Spanish atmosphere,a great TAPAS and WINE selection .....wines with LIQUOR STORE prices ,try the lobster empanadas
Hidden Gem !! I'm lucky to have this within walking distance. Best wine prices of all of Miami and the selection is amazing. The tapas are a must and a great cup of coffee for the morning drive.
We had several items from the menu and shared them with each other in true tapas style . Each was unique and delicious. I would agree this restaurant is a hidden gem with great food, wine & service.
LOVE this place. The most amazing international wine selection , and you can buy a bottle at retail price and they will cork it for you with your meal. Hidden inside a gas station - what a hidden gem !
The simple menu includes tasty codfish fritters , piquillo peppers stuffed with bacalao, tasty Galician-style octopus salad , chorizo in wine sauce , lobster empanadas , and gambas a la plancha. Read more
Incredible wine selection ! I recommend Pago de los Capellanes Crianza from Ribera del Duero, Spain. It is one of the best Tempranillos you can find in Miami!
You'd never guess this place was here. It looks like a gas station . Which it is. But it's also a great little wine and tapas restaurant ! Bacon wrapped dates are fantastic.
Some of the best tapas in Miami can be found in a gas-station convenience store at the corner of South Dixie Highway and SW Seventeenth Avenue. Read more
Nice place, however, the food wasn't anything out of this world and a bit pricey for tapas . I recommend El Pimiento in Miami Lakes . Great tapas and excellent service.
Best of Miami 2013- Best Gas Station : BP/El Carajo International Tapas & Wines . Unlike your normal local gas station , this station has a delicious secret. Enjoy yummy tapas and over 2,000 wines . Read more
This is the BEST KEPT SECRET for wine in Miami. It's a BP gas station ! Immense wine and sake selection and an international tapas restaurant . They're bottle prices will beat most case prices in town !
One of the best wine selections in Miami with amazing prices. Stay for a bite to eat because the tapas is great.
Great place & quality food. Best value is tabla mix &choosing an inexpensive wine bottle Beware$10 uncorking charge in addition to bottle. If u have tax ?? Call 305-644-4000 Tax Pros free consultation
We've always heard "don't judge a book by its cover" and this applies here! Some of the best tapas in Miami are found here! There is also an over 2000-bottle wine list !
Anything with bacallao is amazing. Wine selection is breathtaking and the menu has something for everyone. The fufu is to die for!
What a hidden spot ! Try their albarino wines , great selection
Wine selection is excellent. Make sure you order the sauteed octopus and the ribs as an appetizer
Nice place to surprise someone. Lunch or Diner ... Always good. On weekends make sure you have a reservation .
They have a good selection of wine , but order some pastelitos as a snack !
Hidden gem in a gas station . Filled with Spanish flavors and excellent wine selection .
Amazing tapas and great wine selectios
Excellent tapas . Recommend the piquillos stuffed with cod , octopus a la gallega. Skip the ceviche .
Surprising! the best dining I've ever had... Inside a gas station !! #tapas #Miami
Don't let the location fool you - the food transports you to ancient Spain! The lobster empanadas and 1500-bottle wine list are not what you'd typically find in the back of a Citgo station .

Excellent overall cooking. You'll enjoy everything there.
This restaurant inside a citgo station has a better wine selection than most restaurants in coral gables or sobe . The owner is a true oenophile. This means u can find a grange or a latour here.
I wanted to like it but, unfortunately, it is way overpriced. $46 for 2 beers , 3 croquetas , 1 little (dry and microwaved) piece of tortilla de patata and a (very thinly sliced) cheese board ... Nope.
Lobster empanadas , garlic shrimp , ceviche , cod croquettes
Amazing food, wine and service! Had an unexpected great experience!!
Red Sangria , tapas , mixed meats plank for two.
This place is a hidden gem ! Now open on Sundays. Best gourmet empanadas on this side of town !
A real hidden gem . Love this place!
Tapas and unreal selection of wines !!
Very good tapas but very small portions !
It's an excellent place to buy wines !
best late night place to grab a fine cigar in miami
The food here is amazing!!!
Open 24 hrs, to please any late night wine ,sake, beer cravings.
Nothing is good at this place... This place sucks more than every single restraint in the whole world. I had the worst experience at el carajo. I suggest anybody that would like to come to this place
Great food and wine
Reservation is something that doesn't work at all, 1 hour and 10" waiting to be seated....I hope the food and wine be great
Hidden in a BP gas station is a wonderful Spanish tapas restaurant and wine bar . You can dine on wrought iron and wood chairs and tables while sampling the Spanish tapas and Grand Cru Bordeaux Read more
Tapas were great
Try tostones rellenos
Not what you expect from a gas station . Good quick Spanish food !
Great place to buy wines . Food is just ok.
Food and wine were great. Service was NOT. Our waitress never came back once to ask how our food was or if we wanted more wine . Felt like since we didn't speak spanish we were not welcome.
Everything is amazing
ZOMG best craft beer selection I've seen in the area!
The food is delicious and authentic. Garbanzos con espinacas were very good as well as the chistorra. - Lore Benavent
Come here Thursday for the arroz negro special: calamari, rice and tons of aioli. - Virginia
Some of best pizza in Miami & definitely the biggest! If you want to try something other than pizza, the meatball subs are awesome too! ***They only accept cash*** - @MisterHirsch
This place is perfect to come with family and friends! They have precious restaurants and great live music on weekends - C&H Professional Aesthetics
Don't shop here--go up to the one around 37th it's much nicer, cleaner, has a great deli and has stock! This one shouldn't exist ... Yet it's walking distance from mi casa..... - Rebecca Cardozo-Pfeiffer
