Located adjacent to the sprawling inifinity-edge poolside area of the Shore Club, the lively new concept offers decadent Mexican bites and an impressive Mezcal and Tequila bar curated by the famed chef Jose Icardi. Prior to Diez y Seis, Icardi helmed the kitchen at neighboring hot spots Katsuya at the SLS South Beach and the Argentinian-Japanese LEYNIA at the swanky Delano Hotel. This time, the chef is bringing forth something Miami has long been needing—high-end Mexican cuisine in a stunning, waterfront atmosphere.

The opening night brought an exciting Mexican fiesta to Miami Beach, including live music from a mariachi band, beats by Mr. Pauer and endless shots of Mezcal being passed around to toast the celebratory evening.

And Icardi is thrilled to be bringing forth this brand-new concept to Miami following his success at the previous two restaurants and transform traditional Mexican cuisine with a high-end flair. “I fell in love with Mexican cuisine 15 years ago when I took my first trip to Mexico City and it’s only grown stronger. We are living in a time where Mexican food is becoming revalued in the U.S. and it’s really exciting to cook. I am so thrilled to bring my vision to Shore Club, one of the most well-known hotels in South Beach!” the chef said. “Mexican cuisine brought the world so many wonderful flavors from chilies to vanilla beans to chocolate. I hope to pay homage to the country’s culinary contribution with this concept.”
