The Mexican Miami

Contemporary Mexican fine dining on Brickell Key, the Miami half of a two-location restaurant that also runs a room in Dallas.

Vérifié octobre 2026

It's for a special-occasion dinner or a long lunch when you want Mexican food treated as fine dining. The trade-off is the top price level, and the website tells you little about the Miami menu before you book.

Mexican, at the top price level

The pitch here is contemporary Mexican fine dining: traditional techniques paired with newer ideas, served in a design-heavy room. It sits at the $$$$ price level, so plan on a special dinner, not a taco run. Reviewers seem to think it delivers, with a 4.8 from about 760 Google reviews, which is a strong score at this price. The Miami menu didn't show up in the site text we checked, so we can't name dishes. For a sense of the format, the Dallas branch lists dinner, lunch, brunch, desserts, cocktails, wines and a tequila library.

Getting onto Brickell Key

The address is 601 Brickell Key Dr, suite 100, on the small residential island just off mainland Brickell, reached by a short bridge. That matters more than it sounds. You're a few minutes from the towers on Brickell Avenue, but the island is calmer, so dinner here feels a step removed from the neighborhood's after-work bar crowd. If you're staying on Brickell Key, it's an easy walk. From elsewhere, give yourself a little extra time to get across the bridge and find the right building.

Hours and the dress code

Doors open at noon every day, so a long weekday lunch is an option, not just dinner. It closes at 10 pm Sunday through Wednesday, 11 pm on Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday, which gives you room for a late table at the end of the week. The restaurant has a dedicated dress code page on its site, and the existence of that page tells you something: this isn't flip-flops-after-the-beach territory. Check the page before you go. Private dining is also offered if you're planning for a group.

Réservations

The site handles both Dallas and Miami bookings, so make sure you pick Miami when you reserve.

Tenue

Bon à savoir
