LA CANITA KENDALL – Mexican
Inside the Palms at Town & Country, La Canita Kendall works the same Caribbean-and-Americas range as its siblings, but the weekend brunch has become its own draw: Cuban benedict with lechon asado and mojo onions, ropa vieja and eggs over potato hash, churrasco with sunny-side eggs and chimichurri. Dinner brings empanadas criollas, masitas de puerco with congri, arroz con pollo a la plancha. Lobster Tuesdays and half-price wine Mondays keep midweek busy, and the cocktail program is among the more inventive in south Miami-Dade. Buzzy, hospitable, rarely quiet.
