Papas Tapas

Covering the South Florida food truck seen for almost two years now, I’ve come across some good and not so good eats.  Luckily Papas Tapas doesn’t fall into either category.  From a scale of 1 to 10 Papas is a 20!  Owned and operated by Chef Eduardo Bruno and his family, Papas brings an amiable attitude and offers a wide range of homemade delicacies.  No matter what you’re in the mood for, Papas Tapas has you covered.

Papas Tapas has a pretty extensive menu. I consider them a gourmet food truck. With everything from fresh tilapia ceviche, beef or chicken skewers, tacos, a delicious pork sandwich, soups and their world famous fried Mac & Cheese Balls with marinara sauce.  All for a price that won’t hurt your pocket.  To me, the benefit of homemade cooking is knowing exactly what you’re eating.  Papas Tapas offers a freshly prepared weekly menu which you can taste in every bite.  Not to mention outstanding service and a friendly staff. Having tried everything on their menu I can honestly say you can't go wrong with anything you order.  However their tacos and what I like to call 'hangover soup" are my favorite items.

Miami is a big place with many edible wonders, which is common for a big city like ours.  Luckily, it’s easy to keep up with Papas Tapas. Follow them on Twitter @PapasTapasMIA or thier Facebook page.  Papas Tapas truck is one of my favorites in Miami.  With over ten visits they’ve yet to disappoint and if I was a betting man, I’d bet they never will.

ROK:BRGR Burger Bar and Gastropub to open in Miami.

 After months of long meetings and scouting trips across South Florida, owner Marc Falsetto finds a cozy spot in South Miami to open his second ROK:BRGR!  It took a year of planning, but ROK:BRGR will bring their high-energy and award winning burgers to Miami after buying the same property that use to be Segafredo on 73rd ST in South Miami. ROK:BRGR took downtown Fort Lauderdale by storm when it opened its doors in November of 2010. With a wide range of gourmet burgers, full liquor bar, Monday Night Football and happy hour specials, this city is in for a real treat. ROK:BRGR Miami will offer pretty much the same menu as the Fort Lauderdale site but a bit larger. With seating for 144 guest and a jazzed up outdoor terrace featuring live music on selective nights. Falsetto and Chef Robyn Martinez are always working on new and delectable creations that will keep you coming back for more. Not to mention a commitment to customer satisfaction that offers a seamless dining experience. For almost two years now, I've been making the 45 minute drive to Fort Lauderdale just to get my burger fix.  Not that I’m complaining but now I know I’ll have a second home in Miami. Be ready to satisfy all your food and drink desires at what will soon be Miami's new hot spot!
