"Jarana is right next to the Aventura Mall, but thankfully you don’t have to step foot inside to eat at this Peruvian restaurant. They make very good versions of classics like chicken causa and chaufa topped with a runny shrimp omelet. But they also have a few good Nikkei dishes like crisp tuna wantacos (basically taco shells made of wantons). The portions are filling, but order the picarones with sweet fig syrup no matter how full you are. The colorful restaurant has a giant abstract mural made out of chains and enough beautiful textile patterns to make you forget there’s a Hot Topic filled with angsty teens just a short walk away." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
