PALO QUEMAO DOWNTOWN – Mexican
Downtown Miami outpost of Palo Quemao, the Edgewater-born Colombian kitchen, bringing authentic cocina colombiana to the urban core. Expect the same traditional, comforting Colombian plates that built the original's following — generous, well-executed, and served with warmth — with convenient online ordering and delivery for office lunches and nights in. Hours run long, making it a reliable stop when other kitchens have closed. It suits downtown workers, Brickell-area residents craving South American comfort food, and Colombian expats in search of flavors from home.
