Barra Vieja Doral - Review - Doral - Miami - The Infatuation
"Barra Vieja doesn’t just stand out because of its aggressively blue paint job, but also because of the good aguachiles and seafood tostadas, which are hard to find in Doral. Their Acapulco tostada is generously loaded with crab salad, shrimp, and octopus. It’s nutty, spicy, and we’d happily inhale five of them if they weren’t $22. There’s usually a mariachi band in the dining room on Sundays from 6-8pm, but during the week, expect the crunch of your tostada to be the loudest thing in the dining room (second to the blue walls, of course). Food Rundown Aguachile Verde De Camarón What this aguachile lacks in spice, it makes up for with a generous use of lime. It doesn’t come with chips, but you should consider them a necessary additional charge.

We will quietly come here and order a dozen of these creamy, nutty $22 tostadas. photo credit: Barra Vieja Elote Tres Leches We should’ve been dunking corn bread in sweet milk liquid eons ago. This elote tres leches is proof of that. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino Spicy Margarita We like what's happening on the outside of this drink—the Tajín-covered rim. The margarita itself is too sugary." - Mariana Trabanino
