CANTINA LEON – Mexican
Cantina Leon opened in Coral Gables in May 2026, a multi-level room on Ponce de Leon Boulevard with soaring ceilings, green velvet banquettes and a central bar holding one of Miami's deepest tequila and mezcal collections. Chef and co-owner Gerardo De Negri presses tortillas by hand and makes salsas each morning. The kitchen runs coastal: shrimp aguachile tatemado, tuna tostadas, pescado zarandeado, giant prawns flambeed in mezcal-garlic butter. Tacos cover cochinita pibil, quesa-birria, pastor and grilled nopal, while enchiladas suizas and enmoladas hold the traditional line. A daytime Mercadito handles breakfast and grab-and-go. Weekend brunch, late tables Thursday through Saturday.
