Holy Guacamole: The Haute 5 Mexican Restaurants in Miami

Jaguar
Perhaps having the most varied and colorful menu on our list,  Jaguar is best known for the spoon bar, with many different assortments of ceviche recipes to try (all are absolutely spectacular). Their unique philosophy incorportates diverse menu items, showcasing traditional flavors throughout all of Latin America, such as their grill menu with churrasco, chicken, and delicious grilled salmon with Chilean flair. Their Mexican food, however, has been praised by travelers, celebrities, and locals alike.

Their inviting atmosphere doesn’t hurt, either. Soft burgundy and yellow ceilings and walls encircle the place, as floral pigments are highlighted and make guests feel like they’re in a Latin jungle. Contributing to the originiality of Jaguar are also paintings by artist Dionisis Ceballos who was recognized at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival and whose reproductions were shown in the 2002 film, “Frida” starring Salma Hayek.

Jaguar is located at 3067 Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove, next to the Coco-Walk Shopping Center. For reservations, call 305.444.0216.
