    Good vibes, good food, good people—what more can you ask for? El Turco is a hidden gem in Miami, offering authentic Turkish flavors in a warm and inviting setting. The outdoor ambiance under the beautiful tree adds to the relaxing atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. From the freshly baked locksmith sandwich to the creamy hummus and perfectly cooked meatball dishes, every bite was flavorful and satisfying. The künefe with ice cream was the perfect way to end the meal—crispy, sweet, and indulgent. Pairing it with traditional Turkish tea made the experience even more authentic. On top of that, the staff Mya was welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether you’re a fan of Turkish cuisine or just looking for a great dining experience in Miami, El Turco is a must-visit!

    I had high expectations given the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Had an early dinner on a Saturday - It was very average Turkish food and the service was very spotty … the ambiance was nice.

    The food was decent, but the portions were very small. We tried ordering two dishes, but they were both unavailable. We went as a family, yet the food came out at completely different times, mine arrived a full 30 minutes before my husband’s. The appetizer we ordered never showed up. When we ordered tea, it came without sugar, and despite asking for some, it never arrived. It wasn’t even an especially busy day, but the service was terrible. They offered us free baklava, but we declined since my husband is diabetic.

    The place is nice , I like the concept restaurants and businesses in the same place. But parking is challenging, they offer valet parking. Service was disorganized and slow at times. The food was ok but not great. Average. The baclava was pretty good.

    Nice little eatery with authentic Turkish dishes. Our experience left us somewhat disappointed on a couple of dishes (lamb and beef over rice) and, it took almost 10 minutes after we were seated before we were greeted by our server.
