“✨ A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home ✨
Happy Wine is one of those rare places that instantly wraps you in warmth the moment you walk in. The food is consistently delicious, the wine selection is fantastic, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and cozy. But what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service.

Thaimi, in particular, is the heart of the experience—gracious, attentive, and full of genuine kindness. She has a gift for making everyone feel like family, and it’s that personal touch that keeps me coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual glass of wine or a full meal with friends, you’re in for a memorable, feel-good time.

Grateful to have a place like this in Miami. 🍷💛“

“100 Montaditos 8565 SW 24th Street Miami, FL 33155 (Westchester Mall)

Chain restaurant review

5 Stars

The first 100 Montaditos opened on a small beach in Islantilla, Huelva, Spain, by Jose Maria Capitan in 2000. The name comes from the ancient Spanish culinary habit of filling small slices of bread with various ingredients found in the kitchen. Hence, Jose Maria Capitan and staff came up with 100 different proposals for a Montadito. They now have over 350 eateries in Spain, 34 in Italy, 20 in Portugal, 13 in Mexico, 5 in the United States, 3 in Guatemala, 2 in Columbia, and one each in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, and Ecuador, with Panama rounding out their international holdings. According to Wikipedia, the holding company in the U.S. filed for bankruptcy in 2015. They went from a total of 17 here to 5 and paused any further U.S. Expansions for now.

Suffering from insolation inundation one only finds in Southern Florida, I was thankful for the cool, crisp air conditioned air that hit my face right before my olfactory senses were immediately attacked by the aroma of freshly baked bread as I entered this location. My server is Leo. He warmly greeted me in Spanish. He immediately switched to flawless English when I told him I don't speak that Romance language. Leo informs me that everything is made to order. I faked a slight cough to wipe the drool from my lips and asked Leo for a Number 70 and 91 Montaditos.

Considering they bake the bread and make each Montadito to order, Leo was back in no time with my order. Before Leo had retracted his serving arm, I had Number 70 firmly in my mitts and headed straight toward my eagerly awaiting palate. This particular Montadito was a congenial concoction of Morcilla, roasted peppers, and an out-of-this-world chipotle mayo spread—the bread. The bread was amazing. Crisp, flaky crust, springy, chewy interior was what all breads aspire to be. The homemade Morcilla (sausage) was bursting with savory succulence, and the peppers were perfectly roasted.

Forcing myself to move on from Number 70 (oh, how I love thee), I greedily grabbed Number 91 and, without ceremony, began chowing down. Number 91 was lovingly stuffed with Serrano ham, mozzarella, fresh tomato, arugula and made on-site pesto sauce. Serrano is regularly applied to all dry-cured ham products in Spain instead of jamon de York, which is cooked whole on the bone. Needless to say, this was as spectacular as Number 70. That bread, though!! I am confident they don't dry-cure the hog in the back, but Holy Porky Pig, this was phenomenal.

The Big Boy says, “This chain food, scratch that. This food is uneffinbelievably fantastic. This is it if you ever needed a reason to visit the Miami metro area other than your Aunt's ambrosia salad.”“

“"We had a large celebration party with dietary restrictions and Vegans. Chef Diego Oka, both managers and the amazing team were spot on the entire night. We could not have asked for a better experience. What a great Grande Finale', IT WAS EPIC !!!!"“

“Love Bulla at the Falls, one problem, a bartender belongs behind the bar, not waiting on table, hence the word bartender.“

“It was amazing! Nico was a great server and every exceeded expectations“

“While the food isn't cooked on the spot fresh, it is flavorful and quite delicious. We've had paella in Spain and the paella here, despite being microwaved to heat up, is by far more fresh and delicious. The seafood paella, aka marisco, comes with about 3 shrimp, pieces of squid, and some small scallops“

“A true gem!
Delicious flavors on the plate, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
You can feel the passion of the chef—someone who truly loves his craft, and takes the time to warmly share and explain each dish on the menu.
Welcoming atmosphere.“

“We had an unforgettable breakfast at 100 Montaditos! The bacalao croquetas were crispy on the outside and deliciously creamy inside, perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. The easy eggs on fried potatoes were a delightful combination – the eggs were cooked just right, and the crispy potatoes underneath were the perfect base. We also shared the Spanish tabla, which was a fantastic selection of cured meats and cheeses, offering an authentic taste of Spain.

The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. They made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in, checking in on us to ensure everything was perfect.

If you’re craving an authentic Spanish breakfast with excellent customer service, 100 Montaditos is a must-visit!“

“The best bacalao that I ever have. Simple the best!!!!“

“Mr Christopher Ragland,was a breath of fresh air he was kind, intentional & paid attention to details ,our dining experience was 10stars we will return when in town from Houston.“

“We came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The restaurant had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for sitting at the bar and the bartender was super friendly and he did give us good recommendations for tapas and drinks. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that they do half off all wine bottles on Sunday, and we went with a sparking. We ordered some great dishes. The Heirloom tomatoes, the focaccia bread (stellar choice) and the delice de Bourgogne (a must try if you like creamy buttery cheeses), the mussels (great sauce), the salmon a la plancha (nicely cooked, honestly my favorite dish of the night) and a half portion Paella Mariscos. All in all, the Barcelona delivers on both the food, and the vibe. We will definitely come back.“

“Love it, always friendly food is really good tomato sauce the best in town, wine and beer, but they make great cocktails“

“We went with a big group and ordered almost everything on the menu so we could sample. Everything was delicious! From the Polish beer to authentic dishes like borscht, goulash, shnitzel and of course pierogies were all so good. The service was impeccable and the ambiance cozy.“

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner here. Unassuming, intimate restaurant that easily accommodated our party of five. I asked for the vegan box listed on the menu, but was told they did not have all the ingredients to make the usual dishes, so the chef Kevin created a menu just for me. He was so creative, inventive, and excited about every dish he brought out of the kitchen, and each one was more delicious than the last. I am technically pescatarian, so a few of the dishes had fish sauce, but he would have easily accommodated me with a vegan or vegetarian menu as well. It was honestly one of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Miami/ Coral Gables area.“

“Excellent food, right portions.“

“De los mejores, en sus preparaciones sientes todo el sabor y sazón de la comida peruana. Altamente recomendado!“

“Delicious food. Great service Clean restaurant“

“It was our first time dining at this restaurant, and I have to say we were extremely pleased. My wife and I started with an appetizer (the tostones) and it proved to be a great choice! The waitress (also the owner) was super friendly, great attitude, and explained the menu for us first timers. The food and experience was taste buds satisfying delicious! We will be back, and I’m looking forward to trying their Ruben! Highly recommend.“

“Hoy fuimos a celebrar el día del padre el lugar espectacular lo recomiendo 100% la atención muy buena Osvaldo su cocinero con un sabor exquisito en sus plato y la atención de todo a mi esposo le gustó mucho el lugar para mi 5 estrella 🌟“

“If you come in ready that it’s more “hole-in-the-wall”, that it’s tapas portions, that you have to order upfront, etc., you’ll find that this place probably has the best Thai food in Miami. I usually have a hard time ordering because there are so many good choices.

My #1 highlight is the khao soy. Supremely and expertly balanced. Savory, sweet, tangy, chewy noodles with crunchy toppings, acid from the lime, ugh it’s just like the perfect bite. (I usually save half the crunchy noodles off to the side so I can top my bites with them as I get to the bottom of the bowl.)

The other dish worth an extra mention is the crispy mushroom appetizer. It has the crisp and lightness you want from tempura, with the juicy, meaty [mushroom] bite you want from kara-age. Add a bit of the sauce and you’ve got a pretty addicting dish. Other crowd favorites also include the crab fried rice, the pad thai, and the pork and crab dry noodles.“

“Beautiful, sexy dining room.“

“The owner and head chef is the best!!“

“La comida muy buena !! El espectáculo de los Domingos mejor!! Recomiendo 100%!!“

“Best pulpo in town by far!!“

“Our review is for VIVO RESTAURANTE, a very nice and cozy place, with an excellent menu and exquisite dishes.
The attention was excellent from the entire team, but very ESPECIALLY, from Chef Alfredo, the soul of the place.
Not only did we love the restaurant, but also his friendly and professional attention at all times, which shows that this Chef Alfredo has real passion for his work and desires that each client feel at home, and return to LIVE to enjoy a dinner special.
We met several diners and they all also commented on how well they had dined and their intention to return many more times, for the exquisite food, but above all for the attention received.
Congratulations to all the staff and especially to Chef Alfredo, soul of VIVO!“

“Ambiente tranquilo y familiar . El camarero me recomendó la Corvina a la plancha con papas y vegetales ( excelente) anterior a la comida pedí caldo gallego y comentó que fue el mejor que he probado .Ya he regresado a Los gallegos Restaurante cuatro veces y hoy será la quinta vez . Muy recomendado.“

“Great singer, Polo. Great food and service. , great parking“

“If you’re in the mood for authentic Spanish food, this is the place. Great flavors, food options and service. Be on the lookout at the time of payment. If one is not paying attention, tip is included in the final total, but you may become confused. On the bill there is section named tip chart. If you don’t pay attention, you don’t realize it’s an additional tip and you will give the waiter a 40 percent tip. Of course the waiter didn’t say anything until I questioned it and because it’s a benefit to them. I felt as if it was deceptive on the part of the restaurant.“

“Amazing experience, the best paella and sangria I have ever had!!“

Right during sunset and we had our own decorated area. They really went above and beyond. They play live music so we also got to dance! Such a great time! We WILL be returning :)“

“Primary Bar was great at my small dinner party at my home. We had a total of six guest, and we were provided a 5 course meal by Chef JC Digon and Cristina. Very professional and attentive they helped my design the menu I was looking for. A friend referred them to me as they used to go Table 14 when they operated it. Thank you Cristina and JC“

“My boyfriend took me here for dinner to celebrate our 6 years. We came on a Monday night around 6pm and didn't have to wait; perfect timing because the wait seemed to be getting long as soon as we got seated. Great date night vibes or perfect for a night out with friends!! You can even bring your own wine/beer with a $3 charge. The service was excellent as our waiter would consistently check on us. My boyfriend ordered the Bigoli Della Nonna spaghetti pasta and I ordered the Bianchi and Neri black and white pasta, while we shared theBeaudevinshrimp cakes. Fun fact: their noodles are handmade in house!! 3 words: Everything was AMAZING. I could not get enough of their black and white noodles and pasta sauce. Pricing was also very reasonable. I cannot wait to be back!!!! Four stars only because parking is incredibly difficult.“

“Food was good, did not realize this was a hookah bar when we booked for a business dinner. Service was a bit slow and not very friendly. Food came quickly when ordered. The croquettes were awesome, charcuterie board was good, and fries were yummy. Happy hour until 8 which is nice!“
