EL MANI RESTAURANT – Restaurant
El Mani Restaurant and Salsa Bar takes its name from El Mani Es Asi, a storied Caracas nightspot, reborn on NW 78th Avenue near Miami International Airport. Weekday lunch gives way to weekend nights built around live salsa bands, with reservations and a cover charge once the music starts. The kitchen turns out Venezuelan sharing plates: tequenos with sweet-and-sour aji, empanaditas filled with cheese, chicken or beef, arepitas topped with telita cheese, and fried calamari with tartar sauce. Reviewers call it the place to go in Miami to dance to salsa, not just hear it. Parking is free and plentiful.
