El Pimiento - Review - Miami Lakes - Miami - The Infatuation
"The reason you come to El Pimiento is for the live flamenco on Thursdays. The singing and dancing starts at 7pm, so make reservations because the Miami Lakes spot only has about a dozen tables. The dining room is bordered by twinkle lights and full of nicknacks, like Spanish hand fans and medieval weapons hanging on the walls. But there are also decent tapas too, like garbanzos fritos. They have a strong pepper taste (fitting for a place named after the vegetable) and are really loaded with chorizo and smoky paprika. Other dishes like the filetillo con salsa cabrales are a miss. The cabrales cheese sauce is delicious, but the beef strips are a little too well done. Still, if you’re looking for a restaurant that can awaken your inner duende while you munch on tapas, El Pimiento is a solid choice." - Virginia Otazo
