About the restaurant

The decoration of the restaurant has been carefully selected from the most important craftsmen of Mexico. We enjoy its colors, within the geometry of Mexican Art Deco architecture; framing through its brilliant black and golden colors the splendor of its magic.
With the leading role, we have our monumental bars along with one of the larges tequila and mezcal selection in town and our bar manager created delicious and sophisticate cocktails.
Every cantina is a cultural expression of the place where it is found.
Gastronomy-wise, we have an extensive menu of Mexican Cuisine dishes, offering representative dishes of each state of the country, with traditional techniques and recipes (handmade tortilla, sauces made in a molcajete ), along with avant-garde techniques such as vacuum cooking, spherification, foam, etc. We constantly update our menu and the chef’s recommendations with new and top quality ingredients.

ONLY our Brunch Menu served Sundays between 12:30PM-4PM

Had dinner downstairs at Cantina La Veinte on a perfect Miami night—great weather, amazing views of the city and bay, and the vibe was just right. The live mariachi music was awesome, the decor and lighting made the place feel extra special, and the Mexican food was on point. And let’s not forget the spicy margaritas—🔥. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

Brickell

About the restaurant

Barsecco is a stylish restaurant & lounge that transforms from bright and open to sensual and inviting by night. Enter just off Brickell Avenue onto the breezy canopied terrace where eclectic seating, draping vines and reclaimed barn wood welcome guests to mingle, dine and relax. Inside, plush interiors, towering tree and low lighting lend a seductive edge to an otherwise cozy space. As lights dim and cocktails are poured, a warm, social dining experience is encouraged with shared-plates drawn from diverse cultures and a local twist. Here, classic & creative cocktails highlight fresh ingredients, along with beers, bottle service, and an international selection of spirits, wine and champagne. In the later hours, programming infuses energy to ensure the mood is right for a convivial night feel fueled by cocktails, music and late night bites.

Good food, drinks and amazing staff but didn’t care for the music. The mimosas that are supposed to be unlimited were refilled very slow and weak in my opinion compared to the last time I came. Otherwise we had a good time.
