Jamon Iberico Pata Negra Restaurant

Just left, my dad wanted an authentic Spanish seafood paella before he dies lol. Fantastic. Everything was absolutely fantastic. I told my dad if he lives, I’ll take him again in 2025, he ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. 10 stars.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted and attended. Food was ordered, came out on time and was absolutely delicious. The ambiance and seating was great, the waitress was very attentive and always smiling as anyone would when they love their job. The chef Mr. Felipe was also very attentive as he came tour table and said “enjoy” and we sure did! We will definitely be back and try the options on the menu, today we had the paella negra, pulpo and pimento rellenos de bacalao, dessert was tarta De Santiago and coffee… wonderful experience and amazing tasting food. Parking was also a plus, thank you all for everything… Dr. Collazo.

Nice place , music is very good this is Saturday the show was very good, food is great , jamón cróquet outstanding, show is very good, dessert not so good., food is good but not for that price. Too much there are different restaurants with a show better price , strong recommendation to go a little low on price of food to looking for repeat customer.

The Paella was delicious. You can share one plate for two, it's huge. The sangria was yummy. Owner came to greet us at the table, very friendly, he made sure we felt welcomed and that everything was ok.

Took me back to Madrid!!! This restaurant is amazing, food, the owner is such a lovely man, always coming to check up on us. This is a little hole in wall but so worth coming to. Great date night.

Came here today with my parents for my mom’s birthday can’t say enough about this wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious, the owner Felipe greeted us and he even sang happy birthday to my mom along with our waiter Claudio and other employees. Claudio was wonderful, funny, checked on us to make sure we were doing ok. The sangrias and our food was perfect. This place is top notch!!!A++++ will definitely go back and will definitely recommend!!! 😃

The best! As for Felipe “the owner” he will be glad to tell you all about the history of the pace🎉

The food was great! Our server was very attentive and checked on us frequently. The patatas bravas were great! Wished they had a bit more sauce, as it was amazing! Lamb chops were great, as well as the shrimp. The big winner were the croquetas! Spectacular!!

Very nice restaurant! It has unique layout and has a lot of Spanish culture. The food was amazing! I forgot to take pictures of the appetizers, but we got ham croquetas, chorizo, garlic shrimp, crisp potatoes, and complimentary bread. I think we all love the potatoes the most. For the entrees, we split between, the six of us, 1/2 the roasted pig and a seafood paella, and we still had leftovers! The quality and quantity of the food was present! Lastly for dessert, we had a hard time choosing which one to get, so we ended up getting three lol. All were super tasty, especially the almond tart and the caramel flan. On top of the amazing fresh food, the service was phenomenal! Even the chef came out once and a while to say hi to his customers. Everyone was very nice

I haven't wrote a review in a while just based off the fact those most of the restaurants we have been to have been so generic. If you want to feel like you are in Spain again this is the place to be. My fisnce has been longing for some of the best food from Barcelona and we found it here! Claudio was our waiter and he was absolutely fantastic!! The chef and owner Felipe came out to greet us and take in all of my finances excitement of the food. He was aa thrilled as she was. This was such a gem and we honestly will make this a stop every single time we come back to visit! I suggest everybody else does the same!!

First off, the atmosphere was so authentically beautiful, the old class Spanish vibe really made it feel like you were in Spain. The hospitality service was very attentive at the right times, making sure their customers were having an amazing experience. We ordered a handful of delicious and tasty appetizers to share such as the Calamares Fritos, Patatas Bravas, Huevos Rotos von Tres Carnes, Paellita and sliced chorizo with fresh, warm home made bread! To top off the night, there is live music located in a Speakeasy down a hallway, where we enjoyed our dessert. Tarta de Santiago, is a Spanish dessert that is not overly sweet, but the little add of caramel sauce and whipped cream on the side made this a 10/10

Ambience is fenomenal, you feel like you are in a spanish tavern. Great service and friendly. Food, omg.... On the spot!

This place is a hidden gem that I recommend to all visitors. Delicious authentic Spanish food in a beautiful decorated location with family-like service that's almost impossible to find in Miami. The chistorras are a MUST.

Some of the best Spanish food that I've ever had! Phenomenal dining experience - 10/10 recommend! Ambiance: the interior of the restaurant is cozy and adorable! Lots of cute artifacts from Spain and beautiful artwork on the walls. Service: my server was very kind and friendly! She made sure I was well taken care of and provided excellent food suggestions. They don't really interrupt you during your meal, but aren't hard to access if you need something. Food & Drink: Sangria - the portion was huge! The wine was sweet and had lots of cut up fruit - no complaints! Patatas Bravas - perfectly crunchy! The hot sauce is very savory with a spicy, tomatoey flavor. Vegetarian Paella - this was beyond delicious! A massive portion that came out piping hot and so fresh. The dish was packed with flavors and lots of veggies! Tarta de Santiago (Almond Tart) - the perfect way to end my meal. The almond tart wasn't too sweet and had a nice and pillowy texture! TL;DR - 100% recommend a visit! Interior is adorable and the service was great. Highly recommend the Vegetable Paella and the Almond Tart!

Love coming here, the food is always amazing as well as the service. It's a little hole in the wall that I once found by mistake, been coming here since.

High quality food, nice servings and very kind waiters. The best Spanish place in all Miami, with an authentic atmosphere.

Claudio fue nuestro mesero, y fue muy agradable. Chef Felipe cocina TODO exquisito!! Muchas Gracias por todo!

Been eating here for years. It my dad's absolute favorite. Food it delicious and the staff is very friendly and they treat you like family. Restaurant about 30 miles out of our way but we have tried other Spanish authentic restaurants and by far this is definitely one of the best. You must try their paella, croquet,tortilla, garbanzo with chorizo, and stuffed mushrooms. I can go on and on and they also serve sangria which is delicious. They even serve, authentic Spanish beers. There is valet and it's free the restaurant validates. Which is even better just make sure to give a good tip for the valet.

Spain en Miami. Come and see. Felipe Perez Montero is the perfect host. The three of us had fun and flavor.

FOOD Paella: best paella I've had in Miami so far. Price was reasonable given the quantity and quality. Broken eggs: I didn't know what this dish was, but it's essentially eggs and potatoes (and I got the one with sausage). I loved it for brunch! So flavorful AMBIANCE: homey, casual vibes. I can imagine people having celebrations here with some wine or just coming for a casual date. At lunchtime on a Saturday, it was pretty empty. SERVICE: great service. People came and checked in on us multiple times to ask if the food was okay and if needed anything.

Best Spanish restaurant in Miami and one of my favorites! Whenever I visit Miami, I always stop by. Fabulous ambiance and excellent food and service. I highly recommend it!

Really great dining experience here ! Our server was very attentitive and kept our wine glasses full. The food was incredible and aromatic. We stuck with the tapas menu and the garlic shrimp was so delicious. The chef himself introduced himself and asked for feedback. We were the last couple to leave and did not feel rushed at all. Beautiful paintings decorate the entire space and they have a patella pan that can feed 1000 people. I truly felt like I was in Spain. Worth the visit !!

The patatas bravas and mushrooms were delicious. They offer a vegetarian paella, which is huge and pretty good. I had enough food for 2 more meals after. Overall, a solid, authentic tapas place.

Loved the food, service and decor of this Spanish Restaurant. We had tapas and desserts, but we'll definitely return to try their main dishes. Everything we had was delicious.

Came here with a large group for Father's Day dinner. Staff only spoke Spanish which made it a bit difficult to communicate with over the phone. Despite our frustrating phone call to make a reservation, the food was delicious! Flavors reminded me of my trip to Spain. Tapas was a bit overpriced but it was still pretty good. The fried potatoes surprised me with how flavorful the sauce it came with

Hidden gem! After trying many Spanish restaurants, we were so happy to find one that was truly authentic. The food was delicious and a great portion. Felipe, the owner, took the time to circulate the restaurant. He was friendly, entertaining, and added to our great experience at the restaurant. Highly recommended!

Amazing, authentic food, great unique ambiance, excellent service and much more!!!! I'm coming back!

Great spot best Spanish restaurant I've been to so far in Miami after coming back recently from Madrid. The paella was delicious and so was the red sangria.

Ham is well cured, well packaged and most of all tasted delicious! This was the second ham I have bought and I'm extremely satisfied. It comes with a jamonera and knife.

We loved our dinner at this restaurant. We came here five years ago and decided to return during our trip to Miami. You feel like you entered a restaurant in Barcelona. The entire staff speaks Spanish, and they are so friendly and kind. The decor is amazing to look at and the entire place feels so cozy and inviting. We loved all of our dishes but our favorites were the seafood paella, the Spanish tortilla, the Serrano ham dish, the garlic shrimp and the patatas bravas.

This place has been n my radar for years and I finally tried it. It's a small restaurant located in the lobby of a building facing the river. The chef/owner came and greeted every table there, which made you feel welcomed and appreciated. I tried their Patatas Bravas, Manchego Cheese & Serrano Ham Board and Mushrooms in Olive Oil. All the dishes were great

Such a cute gem in Calle Ocho (borderline). First of all, their wine list is EXTENSIVE. This is a great place for socializing and catching up over hours of wine. Decor is really cute too. So many references to Spain and Europe in general. To start, we were served with tasty warm and fresh bread. Then the food kept coming... I enjoyed their piping hot garlic shrimp. I liked how their spicy potatoes were crisp and not greasy, could have used more heat though. House wine was great. Galacian octopus was delish. Their meat and cheese platter did leave me wanting more though. We discovered they host flamenco dance shows Thurs-Sat at 8 pm. Also Sunday, but I think the times at 7 pm. I'm interested in attending at least one show. There is parking on the premise but also street parking nearby (across the street might feel sketch at night since it's under the bridge). The cons I would say is that overall the plates are a bit more expensive than what I'm used to for Tapas. I think it's because of the flamenco show costs might be rolled into it? Also, they don't have pan con tomate which is like sadness. I'd say it's worth giving a try. Reservations highly recommended for flamenco night.

Every single time I go to this place I look up flights to Spain. The food truly does have an authentic taste and never disappoints. The service is also always very caring. I learned today that they have a wine bar next door with flamenco shows on weekends for a $15 cover and you can eat the same meals as the restaurant. I'm also curious to hit up their lunch special some day soon.

What a wonderful place. My dad's favorite place. He has been coming here for years and I was lucky enough to be in town for his birthday this year so of course he wants to go to his favorite place. They always welcome you like family and the food cannot be beat. Definitely recommend!!

I would love to write this in Spanish and while I am able to, I think that I am much more able to convince you to go in English. This restaurant is a gem and my only mistake was not visiting it sooner. I had heard so much praise from friend after friend about this place located in the Neo Lofts Building, yet somehow it never struck me to eat there until around a week ago or so. Originally the plan was to go eat at another restaurant, but without a reservation and with their being understaffed, there just was no way. Seeing as it was a group of four and two of those in said group wanted the touristy experience, well... how much more touristy can you get than Calle Ocho? Although technically this isn't on Calle Ocho, it's not too far from it. That and it's Spanish food, which isn't exactly something typical for those who were in my group. It turned out to be a wise decision. I made a call and was able to secure a reservation within half an hour from my calling time for 1:30 PM the day after Christmas. Upon arrival, we were a bit confused where the entrance was, but I asked the valet of the building and we went straight into what can only be described as an immense bodega. Immediately we were greeted in Spanish, and surprise surprise, our waiter, Fran, only spoke Spanish. My guests? All French speakers, only one of which also spoke English. What ensued was only a trilingual tongue-twister of translation with Spanish, English, and French. Oh dear, it had been awhile since I had to do that. Fortunately we were all able to communicate and get our points across. Now onto the food and drink, a.k.a. the important stuff. We ordered a lot, specifically the following: -Wine: I don't remember which one it was, but Fran recommended it and I think it was $88 or so a bottle. A Tempranillo maybe? Come to think about it, maybe it was less. He recommended a lot of wines. All I remember is we picked a red one and it was a winner. -Jamón ibérico de Bellota (5J): Those in my group really wanted this. Had I not been in a group, I seriously wouldn't have been able to justify this. It was expensive, but hey, one bite of this and it's worth every penny, especially when you have this with their freshly-made bread that happens to be complimentary. -Tortilla española: I'm obsessed with this dish and had to have it. I always order it at every Spanish restaurant I go to. How can you go wrong with potatoes, eggs, and aioli? You just can't. This one was mouthwatering and probably my favorite ever THUS FAR. -Paella de mariscos: We had two seafood lovers amongst us and one of them ordered this. It was a huge plate with all sorts of seafood. Shrimp, clams, mussels, I forget what else. He took this home and had leftovers for the following day. -Paella Valenciana: Essentially the same as the paella de mariscos with the added bonus of meat. Again, this was big enough to feed an army and this was also taken home. -Súper chuletón de Buey: This is a dish for two people and since one in our group and I wanted steak, it made sense for us to share one. One problem. He likes his rare, I like mine well-done. We opted to compromise on medium. The dish came to the table and I dug in sans thinking. It was juicy, flavorful, and to my shock - medium rare! I liked it so much that when they asked if they wanted us for them to cook it more, I ACTUALLY SAID NO. Do you know how unheard of that is? This is the one and only place I've ever been able to eat meat below medium. Oh, and this brought vegetables and potatoes that were great, too. To add to these hearty distributions of tasty heaven, the chef and owner Felipe actually came to our table to talk to us. He spoke some English, so the other person in my party who spoke English was able to communicate with him. Still, the majority of the conversation was in Spanish, but no matter what language we all spoke, the heart of the restaurant, its center, was universal. Those that only spoke French saw that and commented how they hadn't had such care in a restaurant in so long. Had it not been that we had other plans that day, we would've stayed for the flamenco show. Apparently our waiter, Fran, was a singer for it. He gave me some ads on the way out and invited us to come back. I have no idea when my group will be back in town, but I live in Broward County, so I'm only a car ride away. This restaurant may be a bit pricey, but portions are beyond generous and the service is one of a kind. And here I end this on a Spanish note: Barriga llena, corazón contento. TRANSLATION: Full belly, happy heart. And believe me, that last phrase, sums this lunch out to a T.

Am going to start with the greeting, the owner was wonderful! we went in between lunch and dinner, so it was a slower time of day. But nevertheless, he explained everything we ate and drank. The way it was fed and raised, the cooking method and the region. now to the food, it was amazing, very generous portions. the wines were excellent. I am definitely going back! it is small very queint, perfect for a date. love it

I really enjoyed coming here, the tapas were pretty delicious. The wine selection was excellent. I think this place is pretty simple but also pretty well done. The service was great and the place is small but efficient. I'd recommend this to anyone asking for a nice spot to enjoy a nice dinner.

FROM the beginning to the END it was an amazing experience and the food transports you to Spain. Came on my birthday and the entire staff sang for me. What a memorable moment. Definitely come and try this authentic Spaniard cuisine. We've tried many Spaniard restaurants, hands down this is the best we've ever had. Tip: Barely any parking space. Come early to find parking.

While it is a bit difficult to find parking here, the hassle is well worth it. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and made to order. We got the jamon & manchego cheese combo, which was quite good but seemed very expensive for the little quantity of ham and the fairly mediocre cheese. Next time, I would rather get the 1/2 portion of jamon instead. The jamon was good but was precut from before and was smaller pieces unlike the longer pieces you get when they freshly cut in Spain. The octopus was quite good, though I prefer the "a'la plancha" (grilled) variety. The garlic shrimp was very delicious. The Spanish sausage was yummy too. Just the perfect amount of fat. The mussels were DELICIOUS! A definite must-have. The highlight of the night was the paella. We got both the Valenciana (my favorite) as well as the seafood. While there was a decent amount of seafood, we didn't get the BIG shrimp that are pictured in the Yelp photos. We got the crema catalunya, flan and the tart which were ALL fabulous. Finished off with some espresso and cortadito, which were quite good. Ah! We also had a bottle of rioja which was a perfect pairing as it was light but flavorful. The owner/chef came out at the end to thank us and welcomed us back again! A great night and dinner! Definitely recommended!

Authentic Spanish food ....amazing service and by the waiters...owner/chef is extremely friendly and loves to come out and talk to people...octopus (pulpo a la gallega), huevos rotos & cochinillo are my favorite ..arroz negro is DELICIOUS & of course the PAELLA!!!..next to the river/Downtown!

A tiny little neighborhood gem in an old Miami Latino neighborhood setting. Food is great, service inviting. We enjoyed the famous cod fish stuffed "piquillos" ( tiny peppers) , shrimp scampi and finished it all off with tartara de Santiago desert. It was all delicious. A must try!

We went for the Flamenco show which was a lot of fun to celebrate a birthday. The food is the same menu as the restaurant; the portions are generous and the food is very authentic. To share we ordered Croquetas, chistorras and jamón serrano with manchego. The paellas are huge!!! One is definitely enough for two. Valet parking is available which I believe is the best option.

I came for a second time to eat the lunch and the "cochinillo en su jugo " part of the menu on Wednesdays was very simple, no taste at all. This pork was accompanied with roasted potatoes and the first plate was a salad. Very disappointed. Never will repeat this experience again. This restaurant was very good in the first time but long time ago. I asked for a cup of wine and they gave me 1/4 of cup of wine Tempranillo...ridiculous!!

Food was good a bit pricey -compared to some of the other restaurants-we were the only ones there and the service was outstanding!!! Ambiance-if it's full I'm ceryit ll be loud but hey viva España!

Amazing food, tapas style so order a lot so you can try everything. They have a flamenco show Fridays and Saturday and its really good. The chef and owner Felipe is an amazing host. Decorations are on point, felt like we were in Spain. Will definitely be back for more.

Food is terrible. This time around, and twice before. "Chef" comes out and thanks his doctor and lawyer patrons for coming and greets them at their tables, the rest of us, are ignored. But this is unimportant, rmthe most important is the food that is bland, tasteless. The only thing worth going is the great Flamenco show. Get a good bottle of wine, bread and butter, and enjoy the wonderful show. Cannot miss if you do this. Bread is good, so is the butter.

Didn't even want to write a review because I don't want other people knowing how great this place is. But, in honor of how great of a job the chef and the staff are doing there it has to be said that this is my new favorite restaurant in Miami. The chef looks like he came out of a Spanish movie, the food is great, ambiance is perfect, prices are good.

Came to Jamon Iberico for the first time and loved it. We were in the neighborhood and saw this hidden gem and who says no to tapas and sangria. We ordered some chistorras al vino, garbanzo fritos and some croquetas de bacalao and omg the food was amazing. Everything made to perfection. To drink we ordered una jarra de sangria roja and delicious it did give me that happy kick. Service was phenomenal everyone very attentive and with their spaniard accent which i loved

The food was great. Yummy potatoes bravas and seafood paella. The menu online is outdated and prices have increased a few dollars. Although the food was great, the service was not. She kept trying to get us to order 2 paellas since there were 4 of us. My kids don't eat a lot so I only needed one. It took awhile for food to come out and server kept helping other tables around us. We felt like she didn't want to service us because we didn't speak Spanish. I asked for the bill 4 times. She would grab the machine and then put it down to serve another table. Finally the 4th time I said we needed to leave and she told me to wait because she's playing cheese. I was at the podium near the tablet and she made me walk back to the table with the device. Gratuity was automatically added. Which I felt she did herself. I wasn't going to stiff her, but didn't appreciate her pushing the button for me. The chef came out to thank us which was a nice touch. 5 stars for food and 3 for service.

Holy moly, this place is so good you will feel like you've disrupted the space-time continuum, and you've been tele-transported to a neighborhood restaurant in a small town in Spain. Time also stands still when the owner & chef Felipe comes out and greets all tables, many of them occupied by old friends who are regulars and receive him warmly and joyfully. This is a practice that is rare in modern, big US cities, but an old tradition in Europe. Galician octopus, cod croquettes, shrimp in garlic butter, grilled squid, tender calamari are all classic tapas, and here they're executed with care and expertise. One menu item that really surprised me was the delicate mussels that came in the most marvelously colorful shell. They were fresh and subtle in flavor, and I'd believe them if they'd told me they were harvested that morning. Our waitress oozed charm, and had the professionalism and knowledge about the dishes and wines to match. Anyone who's looking for a real morsel of Spain in the middle of Miami should come here. Because we were in such a delightful suspended reality, we only realized it was closing time when they turned on the bright lights fully. It's not just a scrumptious meal, their attention and conviviality makes it a nightly event.

Disappointed with the food quality, it feels they didn't make the effort to make it taste decent.

Our waitress, Arlette was very nice. We were a party of six, they deliver water in glass bottles, and all sodas are from the can. To start the food off, was the calamari. It was very good, tasted fresh and crispy. Next was the squid and octopus, which was both very good and cooked very tender with a delicious sauce, next was yuca served with the steak which you cook to your liking on a hot pan served to the table. The meat comes rare and you customize your cooking temperature to your own liking. Next was two separate paellas, the seafood and the chicken and seafood both paellas were cooked very well and quite flavorful. The rice was soft, well tender, and the generous amount of seafood was cooked perfectly. All the dishes were good to bring me back again in the future. The owner and chef came table side to ensure all plates were properly cooked and to our liking overall prices but well worth the money you are getting every cent you pay for finally dessert two separate cakes both very good look to be homemade all dishes were served in a decorative and professional manner and plated properly. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice quite small yet very authentic.

This is the best Spanish food in Miami....PERIOD. There is plenty of mediocre to good Spanish food in Miami, but few if any as good as this restaurant. Add to that a charismatic chef-owner and you have a great recipe. The name though is rather a strange choice but it's the food that matters. This restaurant is tucked in a corner of a Miami River condo lobby. The decor is kitschy and the service warm but slow. So basically that all adds up to this place is the real deal. From the paellas to the huevos rotos and suckling pig to the 5J charcuterie it's all five stars. Sometimes they have live music but not sure of the calendar for those. The one part that could use help is the wine list and how they store the wine. So I take my own and pay corkage.

First time ever hearing this place it's located by the river inside of a building super low key we order the dish with all type of meat super good and the pork dish it serves 2 people we had soo much left over we took a lot home I order the ham croquettes super good yum The server was kind of rude food came out on time and the place is super quiet and nice .we did order the flan wow too die for yum:)

Nice decor, great service, excellent food! And the wine menu is extensive & reasonably priced.

In this restaurant there are so many excellent entrees. But one stands out, the PIQUILLOS DE BACALAO. a great tasting spot creamy red peppers filled with cod fish olive oil and spices. Absolutely delicious and tasty. To start a plate of QUESO MANCHEGO AND SERRANO HAM. Great restaurant and personal service from the Chef owner Felipe Perez.

I went here for my birthday with my husband and mom because I wanted a good paella, and this place was all I could hope for! The servings are humongous, so we had plenty leftover. The croquetas were also delicious. The chef surprised me and came out to sing happy birthday with a complementary dessert. He was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home. Not often does the chef come out to sing you happy birthday and ensure you enjoyed the food! I no longer live in Miami, but when I go back to visit I will definitely have to stop by here again!
