Recommended to me by my older brother who is a food quality control specialist. The space is small but welcoming. The seating is communal and service adequate. The Spanish hams are of the highest quality and if you are looking for the Bellota Pata Negra-the are waiting for you at this spot. The Spanish Tortilla is by far the best I have eaten in the Miami area. The wine selection is small by highly selective and excellent. The Tapas selection are tightly matched to the wines. The soups and stews are made on site by La Vasca herself. All delicious! The selection of salt cod for sale is the best is the city-both frozen and salted. The tinned food is selective and diverse and recommended. What more to say about this unique small food store except say " get there and eat something" soon.

The Vasque country has long been acknowledged at the best representation of quality Spanish food, with San Sebastian leading the way. It was only a secret because In the past, the separatist movement made it somewhat dangerous to travel to that region. At that time, La Vasca was the best place to find those delectable northern spanish foods. She was one of the first in Miami to bring quality cheeses, chorizo, cantimpalo, and many other foods typical to northern spain. I began to frequent this place what seems to be twenty years ago. It was the first place I found "queso tetilla" which literally translates to "breast cheese", and its shape is true to its name. The "embutidos" or chacuterie are the best. There are many places to find genuine Spanish fare in Miami, but here you can find virtually everything you need to cook all the spanish classics, and more and they won't gouge you with exorbitant prices.
