"Recoveco is one of those restaurants we struggle to describe, because language does not yet exist to do the job. But it tastes like Miami. They rely heavily on seasonal ingredients and do entirely unique things with them. They turn ballyhoo—a fish most of us only use for bait—into an exceptional crudo. Crunchy seasonal salads are covered in cheese, and tropical fruits become once-in-a-lifetime dessert moments. A meal here might include a red banana au poivre, a dressed-up version of the chef’s favorite Venezuelan chocolate cake, and garnishes straight from their family’s backyard." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
