La Feria Del Mercado de San Miguel

Demasiado caro para lo que es. La tabla mixta super pequeña, no variedad y 3 pedacitos de pan. Si quieres mas, cobran! La decoracion linda pero ya, no regresaria.

Great service but COLD food. I will never come back here. Also, they play reggaeton music instead of spanish music.

We went for lunch on a Saturday. I was fascinated by the concept. I heard that the fair was to commemorate the Spanish king’s visit to Miami in September last year. I stopped on the way home a few weeks before to buy some packaged Pata Negra ham — some of the best ham I’ve ever tasted.
Our return for lunch was not «fit for a king.» It was a bad sign when we saw more people working there than eating there. About a dozen house flies joined us for lunch, even though it was 65 degrees outside. Three items that we requested were not available. We were served a bowl of three jars of olives, a plate full of sausage and cheese with four cracker-​sized pieces of stale bread, and stale flat bread dyed orange from the greasy bits of sausage on top.
The best part of the meal was the sangria, which helped me cope with the $ 90 bill.

This is a poorly executed tourist trap. The service was bad and the food was worse. I love Spanish food and wine, but this place had no redeeming qualities. Before checking this out, I highly recommend that you consider some of the fantastic local tapas spots like: Happy Wine, Xixón and El Carajo.

Mercado de Feria is the oldest surviving food market in Seville. The concept was brought to Bayside and it’s catching more popularity as days go by. It has been updated to serve today’s customers. Many of the vendors enjoy speaking to travelers. I contains fresh fish, vegetables, meat, cheese, some of which is cryo-​vaced sealed and can be taken with you, or shipped out. Its a great place to visit and have coffee, tapas, or wine at the bars along the outside. It’s great for a date nite or a night to catch up with an old friend. We ordered small plates, some Stella and paellas.
The whole concept was great but we thought that the food could used some improvement because the portions are not equivalent to what you pay or the content of the food doesn’t match to your expectations. I ordered the tabla mixta, arrow beck and my friend ordered the seafood paella, some olives and a cheese plate with some Pinot. The paella was lacking, if I order a seafood paella, I’m expecting seafood with my rice, it was very blend and barely any fish, mussels or seafood. My arroz negro, was just that only two rings of calamari and that’s it. The tabla mixta was okay but I could easily buy the meats and make it three times better with the same amount of money spent here. Overall it was just okay. I’m very particular with my seafood and usually would not continue to patronize a seafood business of do not deliver seafood better than the one I make.
This market its temporary, I think those interested should try it out for yourself. They do have great live Spanish musicians performing which adds tot the entertainment. For a little while you feel you are not in Miami. They offer Iberic jam or jamòn Pata Negra, very good and they carve it off the leg in front of you. There are a lot of flies around and it’s gets hot inside the temp. My solution is for them to install fans to get rid of the pestering flies and to cool off the area.

This is a pop up restaurant in Miami that will be gone in January. It is setup like a market with carts setup around a bar that you can get meat, fish, cheese, sides and other items from the different carts. We only had a cheese and meat plate that was great. The beer and wine selection was pretty good too! The best part about this was its location and the fact that it was open on all sides. So you had fresh Miami breezes blowing in with the great smells of the ‘carne’ as it was being prepared. Great please to sit and unwind and just be

My one star goes to the design and look.
Do not ever come here. The service is non existent. Nice people but clueless beyond belief. The head manager is entirely inexperienced. The concept of the restaurant is not explained. After waiting 20 minutes for a server, we waited another 35 minutes for the first dish to come back. The cocktails are a JOKE. I waited 25 minutes for them to tell me there was no Compari for my cocktail. Then another 20 minutes for just a cognac on the rocks.
The environment is festive and I really wanted to fall in love with this place. I have not disliked a restaurant this much… Ever.
I am currently 15 minutes into waiting for my pay receipt.
They now double charged my credit card and the manager CAN NOT reverse it.

I came here last night because I thought the concept and look was pretty cool. And yes, the concept is great but service is very slow and disorganized. The staff was all over the place and nowhere, really. It took a very, very long time for someone to come and take the order, then the same person came twice asking if we had ordered. When we finally got our food, it was very average and not tasty. I ordered paella de mariscos and had to use a lot of lime to make it taste like something. I would not recommend, would not go back.

The food was excellent. The service not so great. I liked that each booth had its own specialty so you know every thing you’re getting is legit. You can browse the place then have a seat to have your order taken and be served restaurant style.
The food is of great quality and prepared well. Cost is reasonable.

Llegamos con ilusión, no tenían paella no cervezas… Poca organización para tan poca cosa

Excelente lugar… La comida deliciosa, el ambiente perfecto y muy buen servicio, y si tienen la suerte de ser atendidos por josue!

Tenía grandes expectativas sobre el local. Fui el martes y cerraron temprano. Volví el jueves de esa misma semana. Estaba Dj Mr. Pauer (muy bueno), no había mucha gente, nos acercamos a cada punto para seleccionar lo que ordenariamos. Nos decían que teníamos que sentarnos y un mesero nos atendería. Esperamos más de 30 min y nadie nos atendió, así que nos fuimos.

Like others, I had been hearing mixed reviews about this place but I really wanted to like it ever since I first heard about it. My first attempt a couple of months back was disappointing as they had run out of food and were in the process of preparing more, so I gave it a second shot last night. I love the giant M at the entrance, open-​air style and lots of beautiful hanging lights that make it a festive atmosphere, and I was pleased to find plenty of seating. As we walked around to see what looked good, we were disappointed that half the stalls were either empty/​had no food or had no one manning it.
Luckily, the paella and charcuterie stations were open. Rather than order and pay at each station, they ask you to sit and a waitress will take your order… but there’s no menu so you need to walk around to see what you want anyway (and what’s available). We decided on the tabla mixta (2 cheeses, 2 meats), which was fresh-​cut and came with bread and jam, and a chicken & chorizo paella. Our waitress came back to let us know only seafood was left, but that was also tasty. Although our waitress was very nice, I didn’t find it necessary or fair to add an automatic 18% gratuity to our bill — the ordering format and overall casual vibe of the place just doesn’t lend itself to that. If that’s attached to the bill, I would expect at least some complimentary (and customary!) olives or bread, plus the portions don’t match the price. It was an altogether «just OK» experience.

I’m so angry at myself that we ended up eating here after waiting 25 min to flag down a waiter to order food. And this wasn’t for a lack of trying. After sitting at our table for 15 min, We spoke to the manager who then asked one waiter to take our order. From a distance, we saw the waiter shake his head that he didn’t want to take the order. We were a table of 8 so we would have given a big tip. He ends up asking another manager to take our order. And she eventually does and someone finally brings us water. So first impression is that the service is horrible.
The idea of the restaurant is fantastic with several stations representing different Spanish cuisines (paella, cured meats, grilled seafood). Unfortunately the execution was horrible as you need to get the attention of a waiter to order. This also seemed to lead to lack of coordination when the food was served as the food was delivered by the bus boys not the waiter. You can’t order directly from the stations. We ended up ordering an order of seafood paella, grilled sepia, grilled shrimp, and an anchovy flat bread.
All of the food was decent. The shrimp was undercooked (not fully pink) when it was first served and the chef proceeded to «explain» that this shrimp was cooked «Spanish style» so it would be raw in the middle. But my shrimp was oozing and I’ve been to Spain before and don’t remember eating shrimp like that. Either way, the shrimp was grayish when it was served and was more gray than another dish that another person at our table had ordered. After the chef cooked it a little while longer, it was quite tasty although 4 prawns and a tiny salad for $ 18 is quite pricey. The grilled sepia was really good though and my favorite of the night although it was quite small for $ 18.
Perhaps if we had sat at the bar, we’d at least have a glass of wine and better service but we weren’t really in the mood this night for alcohol.
My understanding is that this is a pop up restaurant that is traveling to LA next, so LA should beware. If this place was staying in Miami, it wouldn’t last

I loved the food, great customer service and environment! Would definitely recommend and go back for more!

I just call this spot the San Miguel Mercado. The official name is way to long. Especially for something that’s a pop-​up.
Slated to stay open till mid January, the mercado is this cool little open aire bar/​spanish eatery. It’s right on Biscayne taking up some green space out in front of Bayside Marketplace nestled by the Bayside Amphitheater.
The menu is Spanish and you can’t miss the spot. It’s big and round and looks just like a carousel. I had the paella the last time I was there with a pinot grigio. It can get pretty popular so expect some crowds.

Legendary Spanish Artisan Food Market Lands in Miami — Hundred-​Year Old «Mercado de San Miguel» has Popped-​Up in Bayfront Park as «La Feria»
I love this pop up! The food is delicious and the ambiance incredible. To me Friday and Saturday nights are the best! This is a great place for date night or to grab some tapas and drinks before a Heat game! I highly recommend the cheese plate, the paella and the sangria! Granted the pop up had some growing pains with service. However, I can say that service has improved and they are living up to the El Mercado de San Miguel name. Kuddos to La Feria for working through their growing pains and bringing a piece of Spain here to Miami.

A Spanish inspired location from the owners of the world famous El Mercado de San Miguel in Spain. This is a great place to stop by for an experience and atmosphere not often found in Miami. I found the place to be really authentic and delicious. I didn’t get to try the paella or meats but I enjoyed the cheese tabla and assorted slices of chorizo. A glass of red wine from the bar, outdoor seating, 79 degrees with a cool breeze on a late afternoon and needless to say life is good.
FYI: After speaking with the server for a few minutes, the evenings and weekend seem to be an excellent time to come. The place is lit up and the vibe is more festive from what I’m told. I’ll be back to check it out. Also, if you’re headed to the Miami Heat game, this seems to be a good spot to get sauced up and tummy filled for a decent price.

Muy buena experiencia. Todo el personal muy atento, el ambiente la verdad lo encontré muy acogedor y festivo. No he tenido la oportunidad de visitar el original en España pero si es como este entonces la verdad que tengo que ir! Las tapas riquísimas. Me sentí de vuelta en Madrid!

Beautiful
Nice customer service
Pleasant people
Great concept
But «ok» place to eat
For drinks I will say is excellent lil be overpriced
The please and the energy is great

5 stars for the ambience: cool tent with festive lights & flooring so us ladies can wear heels at this park. They had a live band playing Gypsy Kings type of music, which also added to the nice vibe. I thought it was cool that it was dog friendly (at least there were a few pups there having fun with their families).
The reason for the 2 stars:
–The quality and portion of the food to price ratio were totally off. I had a small crab sandwich that had more mayo than anything else. Tortillas where meh. Basically, the food was not memorable. It was a mission to get silverware because the service is practically non-​existant. It made it uncomfortable & unpleasant to have to eat with our fingers & not be able to cut anything. Luckily, I enjoyed the company; otherwise, this would have been a disastrous night.
I found most of the vendors to be unfriendly. maybe they were tired (?). A couple of vendors didn’t offer me a receipt & short changed me. (Nice!) The wine vendor was very nice & helpful.
I wouldn’t suggest going out of your way to go here. If you happen to be in the area at night (I imagine it’s too hot during the day), stop by & have a glass of wine or another cocktail from the bar. Then you can go somewhere else for dinner.

This pop up is great to come to at night, as the lights make it an out-​of-​miami experience. I love that it gives local businesses the opportunity to showcase their goods. This is great for a date night or a night out with a group of friends. There are all different types of seating arrangements. You can choose from a two seater table to an eight seater high top.
The bar in the center gives the entire place livelihood. You choose what you would like to eat from the kiosks and they give you a number to take to your table. The food runners bring the food to your table.
It was easy to find a table on a thursday night. No struggle or stress for waiting in line, seating, or food dealiveries. Not sure how it is on busier nights. When facing the feria head on, the restrooms are located to the right hand side behind the gazebo.

Listen, you’re not actually in Sevilla, okay, don’t expect the world. I went with a good friend and professional chef on our way to PAMM, decided to make a pit stop and try it out. It does look very small once you drive up and start looking for parking. Good luck with that, but listen, don’t fault the organizers, they did pick an excellent spot…
When entering, ask to be seated at a table, don’t just barge in and steal one, they will find you one, you will get a seat. There are not many, but the table turn is fast, just wait for it.
There is a limited selection, agreed, but look around, you are in Miami, not Madrid. The meat and cheese place is very nice, served with your selection of jam. The prawns in garlic were perfectly cooked. The tortillas are being made fresh in the portable kitchen just behind the seating area. The paella is made fresh, every time they ring the bell, more is ready. The Iberian ham is delicious.
Our waiter visited us about 10 times to see how we were doing. Excellent, in fact better service than I have had in Madrid. The sangria was not too sweet, and definitely not too strong, you could have about 3 or maybe 4 before you would start to feel it. A Spanish beer is also available, served cold, very smooth and light.
There was a nice breeze coming off the bay. The restrooms were very very clean. The area is fenced off to prevent the unnecessary distractions of others with ill intent in the park just behind.
The crowd is very cosmopolitan, not just Latin, but a good diversity of very happy and family oriented people. Lots of kids running around during the late afternoon.
Would I go back every weekend? No, would I make it a point to swing in if I was in the area and wanted a quick and relaxing taste? Yes.
Would I recommend it to other food snobs? Yes, but just remind them, Miami, not Madrid.

I lived in Madrid for a year and can confidently say Mercado de San Miguel is one of my favorite places in the world. I was ecstatic when I found out about this pop up and then disheartened by what I was hearing about it. I waited a couple weeks to let the kinks work out and finally swung by this past weekend for lunch.
There are about eight kiosks selling everything from meats and cheeses to paella and grilled meats. There’s a large bar in the middle with sangria, Spanish beers, and other mixed drinks. We walked around and ordered a tabla mixta, tortilla de chorizo, arroz negro and paella. The arroz negro and tortilla were my favorite, but I was overall satisfied with the food, although it did seem a little pricy (just like the real thing!). I didn’t love the flies circling the food stands, but some things can’t be avoided.
Some downers? It was super hot inside the tent despite the AC which kind of just gets lost unless you grab a table right next to where it’s coming out. Also, I waited in line for about ten minutes to try to get olives before I gave up. Shouldn’t take that long to scoop some food into a bowl. Finally, the bread, which I feel is an integral part of especially the tabla, was simply not good.
At the end of the day, we have a wealth of high quality Spanish restaurants in Miami. I’d definitely opt to head there for a taste of Madrid at a decent price point before returning to this place. I’d encourage those that are curious to check out La Feria in the evening when the temps are a little cooler and atmosphere enhanced!

Sooooooo, we returned this past Sunday. We jumped on the mover after the Flea specifically to grab one of those yummy meat tablas. To say that it was a complete and utter waste of time is an understatement.
We were pretty excited when we arrived and there were plenty of empty tables. So we ponied up to make the fairly long line at the Meat stand. After about 15 mins in line we ordered a mixed tabla. The people there stared at us as if we were Martians with shiny green faces and antennas. They told us that they do not have that. We told them that we had just had it last week and they insisted that they don’t offer that. In hindsight, I should have pulled up the picture that I posted here on Unilocal.So now, you need to order each itty bitty piece of meat individually, at $ 12 – 14 a pop. Seriously? I asked a few servers and they were all clueless. We just left empty handed. Or empty bellied.
I admit, last time we were there we really didn’t look at prices. But we were charged $ 40 for 2 MIXED meat tables, a cheese tabla and two sangria. I thought that it was pretty reasonable. I think that they may be changing prices as they go. Good luck with the next 3 or so months of the run. I guess it really is aimed towards the tourist market.
