The Latest Miami Restaurant Openings, January 2025 | Eater Miami

"Led by Pancho Ibáñez, the former chef of world-renowned Mexico City restaurant Pujol, this spot opened on January 10 on Calle Ocho and is making waves with elevated Central American comfort food. Signature dishes include chuletas de cordero (lamb chops with mashed potatoes), cangrejo (king crab with brioche and ikura), and roasted chicken with escabeche. The restaurant comes from Shōwa Hospitality—the team behind Michelin-starred omakase Hiden and the more casual Taco Stand—who recently tapped Ibáñez as director of culinary operations. The dining room is light and airy with an ’80s vibrancy, terrazzo flooring, and blue and pink accents, fulfilling a Little Havana aesthetic." - Clair Lorell
