CANTINA LA VEINTE – Mexican
The Miami outpost of a Mexico City cantina group, sitting on Brickell Avenue in a room of black and gold Art Deco geometry, with folk art chosen from Mexican craftsmen and one of the city's deepest tequila and mezcal shelves. Cooking is regional and technical at once: aguachile of Alaskan king crab, red snapper ceviche with leche de tigre, tostadas de atún, sopes de wagyu, chicharrón de rib eye, enchiladas de pato in salsa verde, cochinita pibil, soft-shell crab dobladitas. Tortillas are pressed by hand, salsas ground in a molcajete. It opens daily at midday and runs late on weekends.
