El carajo-secret location- check out French pastries, gourmet menu, tapas bar and wine cave too

We stopped at the BP gas station in Miami on Route 1 to check direction.  Much to my surprise you'll never guess what this mini mart held inside??  A pastry and sandwich counter with French pastries and gourmet croissants, and sandwiches. Even French macaroons, all four colors too. The wine shoppe had so many amazing selections well I was speechless.   

After visiting with Michelle and Jessica we were given a scroll with the history of the shoppe and photo below with history. Also address of El Carajo, 2465 SW 

17th street, Miami, Florida. 33145, phone 305-856-2524.  Www.el-Carajo.com. A must see.  Try the coconut cake and a French macaroon, a must.  

Who would imagine a tapas menu with ceviche and acorn fed ham cured 36 months. Blew my mind.  All this at the corner BP too!!!
