"I present a lively and popular Mexican restaurant, Whiskylucan, which opened late last week in Little Havana on Calle Ocho as the brand’s first U.S. location after four successful outposts in Mexico; co-founder Luis Augusto García said the expansion marks the first milestone of the brand’s growth as it continues to share Mexico’s culinary heritage. The menu leans into Mexican favorites with starters such as Mexican corn, melted queso fundido, guacamole, and sweet-and-savory guava-and-cheese tequenos; mains range from tacos filled with al pastor or rib eye to crispy tostadas topped with shrimp or tuna, along with flautas, sopes, and tortas that nod to Mexican street-food culture. The bar boasts an extensive selection of tequilas, mezcal, and Mexican craft beers, plus Instagram-worthy drinks like jumbo margaritas built for sharing and Micheladas served in blenders in Hello Kitty cups. Hours are Sunday–Tuesday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Wednesday 11 a.m.–midnight, and Thursday–Saturday 11 a.m.–3 a.m.; for reservations call 305-487 1467." - Olee Fowler
