Salmon & Salmon Restaurant

I been going here for years, and suprised I never left a review. It's small but thos little Peruvian restaurant has a really special take on the Taku Taku, and the Causa, and just about everything on their menu! Good service, atmosphere is very home like, and the food is fantastic!

Cozy atmosphere, nothing fancy. Lomo saltado was good, the ceviche I ordered was ok, didn’t love it

Excellent family restaurant, this is a whole in the wall, small place but it's awesome. We stopped in and we're a party of five, we had appetizers and main entrees. Definitely if you're in the area it's a must stop. We were here for late lunch early dinner, the whole family love it, food was very good and very flavorful. Great Peruvian food experience. Prices are very reasonable come and enjoy.

Salmon & Salmon is a small restaurant in Miami 7th Street, came back for lunch after more than 5 years, the restaurant has not changed a bit, the waitresses are nice and friendly. Ordered Tacu Tacu and Lomo Saltado and it was really good, all the flavors were there, it was a good balanced plate, on the other hand the Pescado al Salmon Salmon was just OK, the waitress advised to get it after I asked for Pescado A Lo Macho, she said that this was the same, it was nothing like it, there was a lot of seafood on the plate which was good but the sauce it came with was overwhelming, too much, too thick and flavor was kind of not my favorite, there was so much sauce that the fried fish filet crust became a glue-like textured crust, also the fish was sold as Chilean Sea Bass when in reality it was swai, that’s why I took a star from the ranking. Tiramisu was really good though.

Food is great, price is reasonable for seafood. They have a lovely decor even though it is a small restaurant with 9 tables at close proximity with an additional “bar” type seating of 3 more chairs. My mom had the clam chowder which she enjoyed although the clams still had some sand grains (at least you know it is fresh made). The complimentary bread was perfect (crunchy shell with soft warm bread inside) and it comes with butter (that isn’t frozen like some places so it was easy to spread) and a garlic-cilantro dip (nice but I prefer the butter). I ordered a layered potato which is mash potatoes (fresh golden potatoes) mixed with shrimp garnished with avocado and tomato slices. It was good but I am not a fan of shrimp in general. Parking in the plaza might be tight on busy hours but at 8pm, most businesses are closed so we didn’t need to use the additional parking in the rear. When paying for the bill, make sure you look at the tip (because it is added automatically). Staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations. I ordered the tacu tacu (black beans and rice) with steak. My mom got noodles with steak (she said it needed more seasoning but it was well cooked). My dish was more of a refried beans rice mixture. The steak was delicious although it could have used a bit more salt. Everything was very aromatic and huge portions. Next time I won’t order appetizers unless I am sharing because I am so full I might not make it to dessert. They have tres leches, flan, suspiros (I think it’s baked merengue) and tiramisu. I decided to box the rest of my meal and save room for dessert. Tiramisu was made in a round container with a top for those who want to take it home. I am sure they get it from the same bakery that makes their dinner rolls. All delicious. The sauce on my steak was almost as good as my mom’s. 5 stars all the way! When I got the bill, it was a bit confusing so beware (the only thing I don’t like is the lack of automated billing like other places- you don’t get a receipt so I took a picture) “SC” is their code for the tip. And they charge 8% tax (which is illegal since tax is 7% in Miami). But since they automatically charge 15% tip, I will just let it slide as a total 16% tip since the food is really good and fast. They gave out these cute little mints the size of a corn kernel at the end. So enjoy a good meal here, just be aware of food prices for when the bill come around. Update: came back and this time I tried the New England clam chowder and it was good (but both times it came super hot so be careful otherwise you can burn your tongue). I also ordered the bistec encebollado (steak with onions and tomatoes). It was tender and flavorful, however it was hard to cut with the butter knife they provided. I later asked for a sharper knife and they admitted they forgot to provide me with a steak knife. I order a lemon suspiro which was a lemon custard top with a caramel cream sprinkled with cinnamon powder. It tasted like caramel and lemon (not my favorite but there might be people who like this). My mom ordered barayo which is an egg white fluff dessert with peaches inside. My mom loved it but I didn’t want to try it. Maybe next time. Update: came with my mom and sister this time and the food was excellent as always but we did find the clam chowder a bit more watery (our theory is as follows - the thick chowders on our last two visits were probably due to the fact it was near closing time and most of the water has evaporated from the stock). My sister ordered the fish fillet in green coriander sauce which she enjoyed and said the sauce was light and not overpowering. My mom ordered beef and seafood pasta which she thought was a bit salty this time. Bathroom is a single stall at the end of the establishment which is ok in cleanliness and it had a counter which was convenient for ladies with purses like me. Took pictures of the menu this time so people can see what they offered and noticed they did mentioned that they added the tip automatically to the bill.

Been eating here for over 20 years, was one of my favorite small places.. went last week,, not the same,, portions are way smaller and prices higher. Can't blame them though.

I went to this place because a couple of friends told me it was great. Let's start with the ceviche.....nothing special and the calamari rings were chewy. I had the salmon a la plancha and it was not flavorful at all the potatoes that came with the salmon were nicely cut but needed seasoning. My spouse had the Tacu Tacu with Lomo salteado.....well the Lomo was tough I have had Lomo in many places and this one was by far the worst and the Tacu Tacu well this had a sauce that I can't really tell what it was about but it was salty. To finish we had the cheese and caramel flan.....hummmmmmm where was the cheese. You live you learn....oh the avocado salad was good......and the bread rolls too.....Good Luck because the server brought the food and never came back. My spouse ran out of soda and we had to ask another server that passed by.....

Amazing food here so damn good. Sopa aguaito is amazing
