"Eileen Andrade, mastermind behind longtime West Kendall favorite Finka Table & Tap, has officially debuted her much anticipated project Barbakoa by Finka inside Doral Yard. The full service restaurant offers a menu filled with Andrade’s signature Latin-Asian fusion cuisine. To begin the meal guests can dine on a variety of shareable dishes like chicken fried alligator, wok-fired okra, and loaded Spanish boniato fries with vaca frita. Larger items like smoked brisket with aji amarillo mac n’ cheese, Korean-style frita burger, grilled lamb chops, vaca frita tiffin, and oxtail fried rice can be found. Shareable dishes like 32-ounce ribeye, whole roasted fish of the day, and bone-in pork chop can also be found. Rounding out the menu are a variety of unique pizza topped with everything from bulgolgi steak or shrimp and maduros. The space itself is inspired by nature using materials like wood and leather set in a green and neutral colored room. The indoor and outdoor space also boasts an open kitchen so guests can watch their meals being created in front of them as well as a private “Green House” room for events." - Olee Fowler
