REVIEW: Maya Tapas & Grill, Miami Beach

So after just getting off a cruise ship with food so terrible they made the Chef preparing Continental Airlines trays seem like Emeril Lagasse, all I needed was something fresh and clean. Nothing processed, no heavy sauces, and no freezer burn. Well, we were strolling up Lincoln Road and Maya's menu caught our eye. I can sum it all up with "wonderful simplicity." Everything was modestly seasoned, extremely fresh and prepared in a way to showoff their ingredients, not mask them. The avocado salad was fantastic and the spicy beef was also superb. A pitcher of sangria (get the half pitcher, its enormous) can keep you there for a good part of the afternoon while you take in the Miami sun and the Lincoln Road foot traffic. PS, Evan our waiter could not have been any better (THANKS EVAN!). Maya Tapas & Grill, 809 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
