ALFARO'S – Mexican
A Calle Ocho room that works as tapas bar early and lounge late, Alfaro's leans on Spanish small plates, live music and mojitos poured with intent. The menu is built for grazing: chorizo al vino, tortilla espanola, marinated olives, jumbo shrimp cocktail with house sauce, and a crema del dia that rotates between pea, asparagus and lobster. The Alfaro's platter piles ham, cheeses, omelette and sausage onto one board; the house sandwich puts the same trio on rustic bread. Finish with Naza's bon bon, chocolate over Catalan cream and raspberry. Little Havana energy, Spanish accent, and no rush to leave.
