Casa Juancho

This is a staple in Miami, and when I visit, I love to stop in. However, this time, the service was below standard. The restaurant was not busy at all, barely anyone there. There were many waiters working, but all going around in circles. Our waiter was not looking at our table. We needed water and had to ask. We could never find him. Food was good and the atmosphere was only ok. The best part was the live guys playing music.

EXCELLENT RESTAURANT! I had a dinner and I didn't expect it like it is, an authentic Spanish Restaurant from the Chef (Gallego) to the rest of the staff. The menu has a good variety of meals. I tried as an appetizer the meat platter (Bellota 5 J) and different type of cheese. The Paella was delicious and I took the left overs to the house... The day after tasted even better! Flan with coconut was spectacular too. They have a good selection of red wine from Spain. The design and decoration is very Spanish. Singers around the tables even celebrating and singing happy birthdays. Casa Juancho is a must. You will feel that homemade Spanish flavor with. authentic ingredients. This is the best Spanish restaurant I have eaten in Miami. Valet Parking available.

We went for my mom’s birthday, the valet parking always is very attentive. As soon as we went in we were greeted by the manager. Since we went on a weekday it was somewhat empty but we loved it. All the waiters made sure we were well taken care of. I was a little sad to find out they didn’t have the Spanish singers anymore but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Casa Juancho would probably seem a lot better if we didn't live in Spain. That is to say it is perfectly fine "Spanish food" by American standards. The atmosphere and service are both on point.

This is my second visit to this restaurant, and I'm still not entirely sure about their food. On this occasion, I dined with a group who had pre-ordered a small roasted pig. The sangria and croquetas were delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the Basque cheesecake. However, I found the roasted pig to be bland and greasy, so much so that I couldn't finish my portion. I understand that this is a traditional preparation method in Spain, but several of us in my party shared this opinion.

Great atmosphere. The food was delicious (all of it) and it was offered to our table with the perfect timing. The servers were excellent and well coordinated. I never comment about the restroom unless it's really bad. In this case, the bathroom is immaculate. This restaurant should be set as an example in all categories. Excellent job Casa Juancho‼️👍🏼

ALWAYS A WONDERFUL TASTING EXPERIENCE, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MUAIC BEAUTIFUL

I loved coming to this restaurant! The wine selection is superb! All the food was excellent and fresh. I highly recommend everything on the menu! I had this soup like piaya dish that was better than anything I’ve had in Spain. If you can’t get out of the country right away but want a Spanish vibe come here! The sangria was amazing as well. Can’t complain about anything!

Casa Juancho is excellent. i had the pleasure of dining here with my wife and her parents and honesty i was super glad we did. the restaurant was amazing. everything about Casa Juancho is high end excellence! service was good, service staff was attentive and never missed a beat. decor was over the top and made the whole dining experience that much better. menu is great with amazing options from top to bottom. love this location, highly recommend for a family event or business meeting. live music was fun and added to the experience. favorite app was the "Fish Croquettes"

Came in for a family dinner and enjoyed everything from start to finish. This spot has been around for a reason! Great service, amazing food, and a warm, welcoming vibe. We kicked things off with a round (or two) of sangria...both the white and red. The ibérico jamón and cheese board was excellent! We followed that with the octopus and bacalao with pimento peppers. Just a great way to start! For the main entree...we went with the paella marinara...the seafood one. Amazing and highly recommended, especially if you like seafood. Do it! And of course, we had to finish strong with desserts...flan, cheesecake, and churros. Yeses down the line! Add this to your list if you are into dining in Miami.

The best Paella marinera. Excellent service Diners top notch, servers impeccable soft music.

Incredible night! We had the paella and sangria, plus some melt-in-your-mouth jamón ibérico. The live music gave the whole night an amazing Spanish vibe. Great food, great service and great atmosphere--loved it!

I've loved this place since I was a kid. My father loved this place his entire life in Miami. Mel and I are here tonight to hooor him. The service, as always, has been top shelf. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient. The food, as always, has been magnificent. Authentic, flavorful, unforgettable. The ambiance, as always, incomparable. It's a time capsule, capturing all the feels of the traditional Spanish culinary experience. This is what foodie dreams are made of.

We liked casa juancho, the food was decent. My husband and I tried the seafood paella, I got the filet mignon and he got the red snapper. The fish croquettes were so good, I'd say I enjoyed those better than my meal. The ambiance is fun and energetic and the service was good

This place may be one of the best restaurants that I have ever dined at. The food is at another level. The service is professional, and the setting is laid out to give you the feeling of being in a traditional Spanish location. The Caldo Gallego reminds of my father and the Caesar Salad divine. We sampled some spanish beers as well. The Paella and Rib Eye perfection. Dinner for two is not for the timid. With gratuity and deserts you are in the $200 range. However this is an experience that everyone should enjoy.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The service was five stars! Ricardo is one of the most professional waiters ever. You should ask for him. He is definitely lifting this restaurant to a five star status. The restaurant ambiance has been refreshed and restored to its original essence. Just amazing. The details are absolute perfection! Paella is a must. Tell them that Rudy sent you. You will understand when you have one of the best experiences at any restaurant.

Para mí el mejor restaurante español de Miami ... Nunca pierde la calidad cada ves que voy salgo complacido me encanta . Viva España

The food was delicious, the. ambiance was nice, relaxing with a Spain trio, and the services excelent, I am really recommended the testsurant

I'm working in Miami this week and went to Juancho's for a late lunch... I was there many years ago with my colleagues from Univision and never came back... but I have to tell good food either way awesome quality persists over time... We had tapas, many of them... jamón Serrano pata negra, callos madrileños, camarones al ajillo, morcilla... además de caldo gallego... Clásica comida española con la tradición tropical cubana... Tuvimos dos meseros a nuestro servicio que serios, pero acertados nos atendieron de forma excepcional... El lugar es añejo pero a pesar de sus años, se mantiene impecable y con un sabor muy especial... Nos transporta a una tasca española del viejo continente...

Went here for a friends birthday, the place inside is beautiful and my drink was very good. The food was okay and the service was alright I understand us being a big party so I won't go down to hard on the timing of the server but I had so much expectations on the food. We tried tapas and they were all about a 6/10. The flavors just weren't there. I will have to try again to see if my opinion changes.

I remember coming here many tomes as a child to celebrate Father's Day, baptisms & graduations. Always remembered it as a fancy spot for celebrations. Recently, my dad asked if i wanted to go have some tapas & wine & i immediately thought about Casa Juancho! We stopped in on a Friday after work & it was just as special as I remember it! Although smack in the middle of Calle Ocho, the restaurant oozes old world charm! Once you step in, you're transported to an old Spanish hunting lodge, complete with (poor lil babies) animal trophy heads. It feels very authentic & it retains an elegant, yet casual vibe. The waiters uniforms are reminiscent of bullfighters which adds another level of Spanish flair. We ordered the house red & it was perfect. The complimentary fresh baked bread with garlic butter was hard to resist but we needed to leave room for tapas! We chose: * Tabla de Quesos (I asked the waiter to select his top 3 favourite cheeses) -Manchego Gran Reserva: Sheep's milk cheese, aged twelve months -Oveja con Trufa Negra: Sheep's milk cheese with black truffle -Oveja al Romero: Sheep's milk cheese hand rubbed with oil, covered with rosemary and aged for six months All delicious as were the side of olives it comes with. * Gambas al Ajillo (Key West Pink shrimp sautéed with olive oil and garlic) Plump, fresh, delicious & bubbling when brought to the table. Chock full of garlic, parsley and a kick of red pepper flake. SO GOOD! * Croquetas de la Abuela: (Grouper croquettes) Light & crunchy on the outside, creamy & delicate on the inside. Not at all fishy as seafood croquettes can sometimes be. * Setas Silvestres (Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms sautéed with olive oil and garlic) Delicious & very umami heavy. Deep, rich & flavourful. * Tortilla a la Española (USDA organic brown eggs, potato and onion omelette) Classic dish cut into quarters table-side. Very good. Had a wonderful time & looking forward to returning again. Olé!

This was my second time coming here. The atmosphere was friendly and felt at home. The server came to take our order and he gave some suggestions. They have one of my favorite soups, Caldo Gallegos. The server said they make it good here. Yes, the soup was delicious. Squid ink paella was a bit salty but had a nice flavor. Of course, jamon iberico melted in your mouth. The fish dish was also excellent. I want to come back for another special occasion!

As always seafood paella was excellent I paid for extra lobsters and it was well worth it I love the large cubed ice at the bar also

We went for my birthday and had a wonderful time! We were seated promptly. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance there is always nice. We shared a bunch of tapas- the croquetas de jamón and fish, the Pimientos del Piquillo Rellenos de Queso de Cabra, the calamari, a tray of jamón serrano and manchego, the pulpo a la plancha, and the solomillo encebollado. All were delicious. For my entree, I had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes. It was really good. I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

A pleasant and good Spanish food restaurant in one of the most iconic streets in Miami. MENU It has a good variety of drinks and traditional Spanish food items. We ordered some octopus and sea food tapas as well as the paella de mariscos. They were all delicious. Be ready to pay some pretty penny as this place is pricey but totally worth it. LOCATION Located in a trouristy and centrally located area in Miami. There is valet parking available with some affordable street parking around. Overall, 100% recommended.

Excellent choice for lovers of Spanish food. Delicious food, peaceful atmosphere, and good service.

Food like always excelent. Pricy. Service OK . Music is back again and Tunas(guitar playing quartets from Spain ) Be careful in tipping. You pay they're gone.

Craving a good paella we headed to trusty Casa Juancho. This Miami Staple has offered authentic Spanish cuisine over 30 years now. Walking through the doors you feel as if you've walked into Spain with wood adornments and waiters dressed in typical attire. The fish croquetas were so fresh and delicious we ordered another round. The special was a lobster and shrimp paella and a black ink calamari and fish rice, both served tableside and phenomenal taste. Order a cappuccino for dessert, it's creamy and perfect accompaniment with the torta de Santiago cake.

This is a personal favorite. Stepping inside this restaurant immediately gives you the feel like you're in pain. The waiters even have a Spanish accent to them. The attention here is always supreme. They are very attentive and ready to give you recommendations should you desire. Their paella is probably the best in Miami. For years it has even consistent and hasn't been altered. They make an excellent sangria which never disappoints. If you're looking for an afternoon lunch or a nice dinner, this is your place.

Given I am not from Miami, the only way I came to know of Casa Juancho is from my Ueber driver's rec. He was spot on! Casa Juancho is a welcome departure from an otherwise hectic world. The architecture from outside and the interior decor are very much old world charm. The flamenco music graces your ears while those at the front desk greet and seat you warmly. While looking at the menu,life slows down and you want to Shazam the flamenco music for the guitars you hear and want to hear more. I ordered a large glass of red sangria and was told they use good wine and they do. You taste it in the glass with an abundance of fruit. Meanwhile,a small baguette style loaf of bread lands on your table with a scoop of whipped butter. This bread, I was told, is typical Spanish bread upon my inquiry, for it was so addictively good. It tastes like a light sourdough bread, that combined with the whipped butter, allows your palate to enjoy the juxtaposed light body of the bread that melts in your mouth against the definitive crust. Those fish or seafood soup came next. Shrimp, scallops, calamari, some kind of fish, and vegetables in a tomato and vegetable based broth were great. The last bit of broth I shamelessly dipped the last of the bread in to finish it all off. Later that bread kept expanding in my stomach, so beware of the consequences of enjoying that bread. Then came the ultra savory lamb shank. I forgot to tell them the temperature, but it came out medium well and it was only slightly dry. Most people would not care, but I am typically medium rare and my palate can discern. Nevertheless, anyone would enjoy the lamb shank and I must thank my Ueber driver for that particular rec. It comes on an oval plate with gravy, peas, roasted red pepper, potatoes and buttery rice on the side. This is a substantial shank that is tender and oh so delicious. Bite after bite, your senses are rewarded. Credit to the chef! Families and friends are coming and going, dressed in nice linens and silks for Sunday dinner. I'm Shazaming the flamenco music. The red sangria, going down cool and smoothly, was a perfect accompaniment to the lamb. The rice mixing with the last of the gravy and lamb finished that oval plate too. I visited the clean restroom on my way out to walk over to the heart of Little Havana. I needed that walk. Dining at this level of quality and service, the price point here is an excellent value and one a person can afford to indulge regularly. For an out of towner, I would return to Casa Juancho when in Miami. For those who live in Miami and haven't been, what are you waiting for? Four very solid stars!

Best paella in town! The ambience is nice they play music around the tables and the service is great our server was in top of every detail, our waters were always full and our wine glass too. Try the croquetas so fresh and delish. The hot tapas are all good!!

This is a gorgeous looking Spanish style restaurant in Calle Ocho. We loved the decor and ambiance. I was disappointed though, as I came as I read that they make a real effort for their xmas decorations. I had seen pictures from previous years, and it was much more impressive than what we saw this time. The service was friendly and pleasant. The food we tried was also good, although the prices are quite expensive. They also have a good wine selction.

Food is good. Prices are too high. Service is terrible. You can get way more for your buck for far better service. Immediately it gave me a wrong vibe because when you pull into the parking lot, it is only valet parking. I thought that would be the end of the bad service but unfortunately I was wrong. Our server was terrible. We had made a reservation for 5 people. They set 6 plates. I usually dont care about that but when main dishes average $70 pp I expect exceptional attention to detail. Not once while we were eating did he ask is if everything was ok. They sang my FIL happy birthday but our server paraded around the restaurant with the flan and coffee in hand for about 3 minutes before getting to our table. Spitting in our food while talking the entire time. He could not even play off the fact that the dessert was for our table because he took so long everyone noticed. We asked for the check and waited 10 minutes before I had to ask again. In the end, when we got our car from the valet, he opened the door for me. My husband said thank you. The valet said no problem, it will be $10. Not only did the ticket say $8 but he did not even bother closing my door. These people are out of their minds. I love to eat GOOD food and with high prices I expect to have get service. I work too hard for my money to not be able to enjoy simple things like good food in a good environment. Yall had one job In miami, there are plenty of places I can go to that will accomplish a simple request. We will not be coming back.

Great food, service, ambience. Best paella I've eaten in years and I enjoyed the sangria too! A little pricey.

Absolute favorite Spanish restaurant in all of Miami. Haven't found anything that compares yet. Original recipes and great quality dishes, feels like you are in Spain. Dont miss out on the Jamon Iberico Pata negra and their croquetas for starters. Pimientos al Piquillo Rellenos and Boquerones are also out of this world!!!! For main course get the Paella Negra, Solomillo, and Pluma Iberica! Your mouth will melt! Wine Selection is also great! Don't skip this restaurant- for a real Spanish dining experience- you will regret it!

We were invited for an event where we were served appetizers of prosciutto and cheese wedges, fish croquettes, mini sausages, omelette, crusty bread with mixed herb butter ( one of my weakness, hot off the oven). We were then served Cesar salad, and our entrees featured below. The gentlemen seemed to get the sirloin with creamed potatoes and creamed spinach. I had the seafood paella and it was yummy. My friend had the lemon butter/ parsley snapper filet. We needed extra lemon and a dash of salt. Dessert was flan and creme brûlée. All tasted great and the group sure had a good time.

I've lived in Miami for a very long time and this was my first visit to Casa Juancho. I've been missing out for a very long time. The service was very good and the ambience was real nice. The best part of the night was the food. It was simply fantastic and cooked to perfection. We shared an appetizer and a couple of tapas. We had this shrimp sautéed with olive oil and garlic (Gambas Al Ajillo). The stew that's made with beef feet, tripe, sausage and blood sausage. (Callos a la Madrileña. We also ordered the hand carved acorn-fed 100% Iberian ham. (Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 5J). For our main we had Red snapper fillet, clams and shrimp in a garlic parsley sauce. (Pargo en salsa verde). Dover sole with a lemon butter sauce. (Lenguado Europeo Meunière) and the Braised oxtail (Estofado de Rabo de Buey). I will be back the first chance I get. I can not wait to try the Paella. Don't forget to try the Sangria that was also very good and it was not too sweet.

Our family brought us here for special Cuban dinner. They have been here many times and love Casa Juancho. While waiting we had drinks at the bar and excellent service by Juan, very nice guy. We were so lucky to have Ricky as our waiter. He was so helpful, patient, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. We absolutely enjoyed our dinner, excellent food and amazing service. Thank you so much Ricky for our wonderful and memorable dinner experience.

Attentive and fast staff, good drinks, amazing Paella Marinera, cuttlefish, tapas and charcuterie boards. Valet parking. Very rustic and comfortable atmosphere.

Grossly over priced. $50 for a pitcher their watered down Sangria. The ham croquettas tasted like fish. The valet, a thug said to me (in Spanish) "this is as far as you go".

This is an iconic and long-standing Spanish cuisine restaurant in Miami's Little Havana for a reason. Everything from the food quality to the ambiance and the service is top notch. We started with a cheese and meat board composed of Asturian blue cheese (Cabrales), chorizo Iberico de Bellota Fermin, and jamon Serrano Fermin, which provided a perfect balance of flavors and appetite-opener while we waited for our seafood paella. The paella was amazing; it included a lobster tail, snapper, calamari, clams, and mussels. The portions were large enough to feed an army (lol, jus kidding, but they were huge). For dessert, we tried the tocinillo de cielo and torrija, two very traditional Spanish desserts. Both were absolutely deliciously sweet without being overpowering. They have valet parking, which is a big plus for this part of the city. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I give this place my utmost recommendation.

One of the icons in little Havana. Been here for many years and always enjoy a special escape to this awesome Spanish restaurant. As soon as you drive in looks like you are somewhere else . Walk in and you are in ! The staff is always courteous. The atmosphere is vibrant always busy and with the kitchen in the center and grill plus a lavish bar . All the areas look like your in an old tapas bar. The menu is intense and fun offering delicacies from Spanish regions as well as a great tapas menu. From mussels to octopus to tortilla Espanola! Wow and awesome ibérico ham goodness! Great selection of wines and sangria's. Full bar of. Course l! Special seafood paellas cod fish paella's and meat paella's plus awesome seafood platters broiled baked wow! The croquettes are o die for ham or grouper !! Dessert crema a la catalana! We ordered everything few at a time ! Manchego , i rest my case . Big thanks to our servers who work hard and made it special for us!

Customer service 100% Dining experience 100% Food quality 100% Ambience 100% Elegant venue 100%

Casa Juancho Spanish Restaurant is most definitely one of Little Havana's more classy restaurants specializing in Spanish and Basque foods. Its menu selections are immense with everything from USDA Prime Beef Aged a Minimum of 21 days to a hand-carved Jamón de Bellota 100% Ibérico 5J and a grilled Chilean sea bass with piquillo peppers sautéed with extra virgin olive oil and garlic. It has a warmly understated elegant atmosphere and they do and have everything to make you feel at ease and comfortable. For my meal, I had a nicely aged steak it a most unique combination of fungal and vegetable sauce. It was really delightful; couldn't have been more perfectly done to my order and served in good eye-appealing presentation.

First time here and absolutely loved it. Went for dinner for date night and decided to order a ton of tapas rather than a main course and I think that was the way to go. Pulpo a la plancha con Patatas was incredible. Croquetas de la abuela & the croquetas de jamón were great. But I am going back just for the tortilla española. Finished the night with the crema catalana that was prepared perfectly. Service was excellent and it felt like we were back in Madrid having Jamon y queso off a tabla. Can't wait to go back!

Had not been here in over 20 years and swore it fell behind given all the new instagramy, gimmicky, glittery new restaurants. Boy was i wrong. Yes, the decore is the same but the food and service is just as great as it was 20 years ago. If you want great food with nice portions in a tavern style romantic environment that is not pretentious or overpriced this is your place, ask for Juan Castillo (excellent server). Have their tapas, filet mignon, paella - well priced drinks and deserts Street parking available to avoid 10.00 valet.

Had a wonderful time tonight for friends birthday. The Paella was delicious, we had the seafood paella delicious. Plenty for us and great taste to.We also had sangria . For our appetizers we hah the shrimp, croquetas and the my friend had the tripe. For dessert we had the flan , almond tart and crema Catalana. We really enjoyed our meal and time at Casa

It's always a pleasure to come back to this authentic Spanish Restaurant. Service was fantastic, ambiance is always entertaining and food super delicious. The Paella and steak....you just can't go wrong

We went with a party of 9 on Good Friday. The food, service and sangria were amazing. The most delicious Paella, fish, bacalao and appetizers.

Muy buena comida. Los quesos, el jamón, los huevos partidos, la paella,el sea bass y los postres. Y excelente servicio.

Love authentic Spanish meals the service the meals and the dessert wow. The ambience is nice and quiet u can also host parties

Part of our dinner party are from Madrid, Spain. The food was very authentic to that of Spain. The ambiance was warm and quaint. The service was attentive and timely. We always eat dinner here each time we visit Miami

Loved this place! The ambiance was inviting - as soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a sight for sore eyes : a beautiful jamón station. The waiters are charmingly dressed in red and are prompt and attentive. Wine selection is impressive; as are the menu choices. We went with a tapas starter of chistorra a la plancha (grilled Spanish sausage links), then moved onto a Caesar salad and a soup (Caldo Gallego (Galician soup of white beans, collard greens, potatoes and serrano ham) - all was delicious! The main entree choice was Arroz Negro con Calamares y Gambas (rice with cuttlefish ink, calamari and shrimp) - it was sooooo tasty! Definitely recommend! It was my birthday so I received a free treat of Flan de Caramelo - also equally delectable. Would definitely return the next time in Miami!

Excellent ambiance, food, and service. The Paella was well balanced and flavorful. The Bellota's ham was exceptional and freshly cut. I would recommend this place for authentic Spanish flavor.

Had seafood paella, roasted paper, sangria, pastry dessert. Food was 3.5 Ambiance 4.0 Staff: friendly Price: pricy. We wanted to get a pitcher if sangria, but instead, the waiter got us 2 glasses. Seafood paella with fish was 34/ppl. For the price we paid, it doesn't even come with a small hamon with olives. Thought it was a bite pricy.

For the best authentic cuisine & ambiance from España, look no further. In the heart of Little Havana on SW 8th St in Miami, it's worth a trip from wherever you are. The personalized service is attentive & thorough. We have taken a liking to our server, Manuel when he is on shift. Their deliciously strong red sangria will guarantee a memorable evening, especially if you order a pitcher. We always order the same items because we love it so but would like to try others (yet don't want to sacrifice our fav's.) For appetizer, we start with a Churchuterie of Manchego cheese served with their Spanish Cured Meats, hand carved Iberico hams all of which are delicious. Their calamari is cooked so perfectly tender, that we added & enjoyed their fried calamari this last visit. For entree, we love their flavorful homemade Seafood Paella served with lobster, shrimp, clams, scallops and calamari in a sizzling skillet and portioned out by the waiter. We take home what's remaining and still have another meal out of it. The entire experience is special! When you can't goto Spain, Casa Juancho brought Spain to you!!!

The food, service, and ambiance was absolutely amazing. I ate the Sea Bass and it was perfectly cooked. I am a huge fan and will be returning.
