"Whole branzino, grilled octopus, kebabs, and meatballs—these dishes live in most of the 5,000 Mediterranean restaurants across Miami. But Eva makes more exciting versions than most. There’s no flair, tweezers, or edible flowers involved. Instead, Eva’s food uses spices and flavors other Mediterranean spots just don’t, like aji amarillo in tahini and harissa in tomato sauce with meatballs. It’s located deep in the belly of CocoWalk, an outdoor mall we normally wouldn’t recommend for food. But Eva can make even the most unhinged person in the friend group incredibly happy." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
