Sala de Despecho Wynwood

Everyone is super nice and welcoming! The best Mexican food here! Their drinks are so good and tacos even better! I love the music at night and all the staff gives everyone a microphone and EVERYONE was doing karaoke! 10 outta 10 experience for my first time in Miami!

First time at Sala De Despecho Wynwood and we had a great time. The atmosphere is great, a lot of dancing, good music and food. This concept of “Karaoke” with simulating microphones for everyone makes it so cool to sing along with the artists on the TVs and everyone else, and of course avoiding garbled singing. The service was really good, very attentive all the time. You must make a reservation; it gets crowded.

This place is a must go in your outing list! As you might know parking is a bit tight in wynwood so arrive with time. We had a reservation and were seated immediately when we arrived. Greeted by the most amazing manager, Edgar, he was so attentive and he kept checking on us to make sure we were being served right and were not missing anything. This place is extremely unique, offering Latin vibe with screens all over the place showing both old a new music videos with lyrics so the entire restaurant is singing at the same time. They provide mics (non working just for fun) and mariachi hats to build up the ambiance. Drinks on point. Cocktails very elaborate and refreshing. Avg cocktail price is around 16-20, Now let me tell you about the food. W O W Tacos that could be the best I’ve had in the states. Very original corn tortillas with unique flavors and a touch of original Mexican taste with traditional ensemble. Food came out very quick, and we could order throughout the night as we sang danced and enjoyed with the party. It’s a loud place, so pick it for celebrations and when you’re ready to have a good time. Our server was Alberto, extremely thoughtful and on point with providing the best experience. It’s pricey. But totally worth it.

The hostesses need to work on their customer service, not very approachable. Aside from that this place is so much fun, and the Tacos Atarantados are delicious. Best tacos in Miami without a doubt.

Went to Sala de Despecho with a girlfriend and we had sooo much fun! We sang our hearts out and danced all night. The place isn’t very big, so it does get crowded, and the singing really doesn’t get going until around 8:30 — so definitely make a reservation ahead of time. Half the restaurant is open-air, so even with “AC” it gets hot. The food was nothing to write home about (I’d skip it), and drinks are on the pricier side (but hey, it’s Wynwood). Also keep in mind there’s a $75 per person consumption minimum. Overall though, it’s a super fun spot to do something different every once in a while!

We made a reservation, and nowhere in the confirmation did it mention a dress code. When we arrived, my boyfriend stepped away briefly to find parking. I stayed and ordered a bottle since it was my birthday. When my boyfriend returned, he was denied entry. For context, he was wearing jean joggers and a collared polo shirt, no sweatpants, no T-shirt, nothing inappropriate. We were told he couldn’t come in because of “sweatpants,” which was not accurate. His outfit was completely acceptable. Of course, he was upset because it was his girlfriend’s birthday and he wanted to be there with me. I was upset the entire time as well. On top of that, the food was very average, and the place is nothing like how it’s promoted. I repeatedly asked to speak with a manager, but a manager was never called. Instead, someone claimed to be the manager, yet even the guards inside and at the bar stated that she was not the manager. Later in the night, the table next to us arrived, and the man was wearing literal shorts and he was allowed in. If the dress code is truly enforced, how was someone in shorts permitted entry, but my boyfriend in full pants was not? We eventually left and went to a club afterward, where my boyfriend had no issue getting in. Management seriously needs to do better with enforcing their “dress code” fairly and consistently. If someone asks for a manager, the actual manager should come out not someone pretending to be one. I don’t know if this was a racial issue, but it certainly felt questionable. Especially considering others were let in wearing shorts, while my boyfriend was denied. We were seated right at the entrance, and we also saw other people turned away dressed appropriately. The policy clearly isn’t applied evenly. It was extremely disappointing to spend my birthday like this. Even the guards could see how upset I was. This experience completely ruined the night, and I would not recommend this place

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. After spending nearly an hour finding parking, I arrived with an 85-year-old woman who cannot walk well. When I asked the security guard if we could take a quick look inside before bringing her in, he refused and told us to go sit on the sidewalk. The two hostesses were also unhelpful and impolite, speaking only in Spanish and showing no manners. Not once did anyone offer a chair or assistance to the elderly woman. The lack of basic courtesy and hospitality was shocking. We felt completely unwelcome and had no choice but to leave. N no one had said Hello welcome. Where do they hire these people. Fire the security

I'm genuinely shocked by some of the reviews on here. Did we eat at the same place? Incredible food. My entire group was in disbelief at how delicious the carne asada and ribeye tacos were. We're a group of Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Floridians etc. and we have never had something so tasty. The food was so fantastic, we had to stop by after a wedding we attended for seconds! And those sauces....my goodness! A must try for any locals or visitors.

They definitely know how to throw a party! Best experience for a girls night out! The staff was so attentive, the tacos OMG.... As a Mexican, I approve!! I would 100% return.

One of the worst hospitality experiences I've had in Miami. We were a group of 10 with a confirmed reservation, yet we were left standing outside for 15-20 minutes just to "show" that there was a line, despite our names being on the list. At the door, we were hit with a surprise minimum consumption of $75 per person OR 3 bottles (around $400 each). Nowhere in the reservation details or terms and conditions was this mentioned. After arguing, they agreed to waive the minimum if we only stayed for 2 hours -- ridiculous. When we finally got inside, they first tried to squeeze us into a tiny side-terrace table for 4 people. For a party of 10! When we requested an indoor table, they forced us into a table that normally seats 6, cramming 12 people together with paint cans as seats. After going back and forth, they eventually added a side table, but the wobbly ice cream-parlor style furniture made for a very uncomfortable setup. To be fair, once settled, the food and drinks were actually good. But the service and management? Absolutely unacceptable. At one point, one of us stepped out for a smoke and they refused to let her back in -- even as five other people (including someone from our table) had just walked out freely. Their excuse: "The owner gave us instructions." Nothing but nonsense. It was clear they wanted to push us out because we didn't fall for their hidden "minimum consumption" scam. They don't care about customer experience, only about squeezing every dollar out of you. Bottom line: If you want to be treated with respect, avoid this place at all costs. Sala del Despecho Wynwood is all about greed, not hospitality.

75$ consumption minimum to sit inside or a 300$ 75 mil bottle of booze. The staff isn't friendly or accommodating, giving too good for Miami natives and more of appealing to tourists who have a lot of money when this place looks like an open garage warehouse outside of Mexico City. Your better off going to Barcelona down the street
