Jaguar Restaurant - Coconut Grove - Miami
A Pan-Latin restaurant on Grand Avenue since 2005, built around ceviche, with lunch daily and brunch on weekends.
Geprüft Oktober 2026
Best for groups and easy lunches in the Grove when you want ceviche plus a little of everything Latin American. The menu goes wide rather than deep, and the room leans lively, so it's not the pick for a quiet dinner.
Start with the ceviche
The ceviche list sits at the top of the menu, and that's where to start. The site points to the Mexicano ceviche and a tuna nikkei, and one five-star reviewer it quotes raves about the Black Market ceviche. Order two or three to share, add guacamole and the fish croquetas, then move on to steak tacos or arroz con mariscos if the table is still hungry. The range is deliberate. Chef Oscar del Rivero pulls from Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela and Cuba, so one order can cross half a continent. It holds 4.5 from about 2,050 Google reviews.
Lunch, brunch and Hora Jaguar
Doors open at 11 am every day, which makes this a real lunch option in the Grove, with its own hot lunch menu. Weekends bring a homestyle brunch menu. Hora Jaguar is the happy hour, built around Latin street-food bites and fresh cocktails. The site doesn't list its times, so call before you plan around it. Dinner runs until 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11 pm on Friday and Saturday. At $$, it's priced like a neighborhood regular rather than a splurge. There's outdoor seating too, worth asking for when the weather cooperates.
Parties and private dinners
Birthdays, rehearsal dinners and corporate groups are a big part of the business here, and the room is set up for them: murals, warm wood and glowing lights, with event menus that can be fully customized. Big tables get loud and happy, so it works better for a celebration than a hushed date. Not staying? The core menu is available to order for takeout. If the ceviche hooks you, the restaurant also runs ceviche classes and sells its own cookbook.
Reservierung
The restaurant recommends booking ahead, and you can reserve online.
