In Miami’s cultural melting pot, ethnic and exotic foods are a dime a dozen. But when seeking truly authentic food, many options fall short. Step inside Casa Juancho, now in its 30th year, for a glimpse into Spanish culinary tradition.

The interior is a rustic realm framed in wooden beams, low lighting, and crisp white linens over colorful striped tablecloths from Seville. The predominantly Spanish staff welcomes guests warmly, creating and serving traditional dishes of fine, flavorful food made with the same techniques and traditions used in Spain for centuries.

Each dish reflects a commitment to Spanish culinary tradition. Most of the seafood is imported from Spain, as is the Iberico ham and Manchego cheese. Popular dishes include Paella Valenciana and Chuletón de Buey (prime Angus bone-in rib-eye), not to mention the Pulpo a la Gallega, a boiled octopus dish prepared with paprika and extra virgin olive oil. The desserts are no exception to the rule of authenticity, with the likes of Catalonian Crèma Catalana and the Northern Spanish Tarta de Santiago offering tempting sweets.

For a fitting accompaniment to the meal, choose a glass or bottle from the expansive wine list—which has consistently won the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence. These are small-production, highly-rated wines, and almost all are from Spain.

Many nights a week, a roving accordion player entertains amidst socializing dinner guests. Other nights, groups of Spanish troubadours serenade diners with Spanish songs and traditional instruments.

From the setting, to the food, to the music, Casa Juancho is a place to celebrate authentic Spanish cuisine from start to finish.
