LA VENTANA RESTAURANT – Mexican
Ten-plus years on Washington Avenue, La Ventana has made itself a fixed point for Colombian cooking in South Beach - a snug room that runs from morning coffee straight through to a late kitchen. The chef's list leans generous and shareable: mix grill or mix seafood for two, surf-and-turf paella, mojarra or picanha plated with shrimp. Behind it sit the classics people actually come for, bandeja paisa and arepas and empanadas among them. Diners return for the portions and for staff who treat the room like a living room. Colombian, unhurried, all day.
