Cantina La Veinte is Miami’s answer to the high-end restaurants you’d find in Mexico City, a festive spot for happy hour and group celebrations located at the base of Brickell’s swanky W Hotel.
The vibe: The soaring ceilings, lively bar and outdoor terrace overlooking the Brickell waterfront make Cantina ideal for impressing visitors from out of town. The massive margaritas and roving mariachi band (typically starting after 8:30pm) also make for a good time.
The food: Cantina’s large open kitchen puts out dishes representing Mexico’s regional highlights, many swathed in handmade tortillas and several smothered in house-made sauces made in a molcajete. We’re partial to the tostadas de atún and the chicarrón de ribeye.
The drink: These are proper drinks, made with fresh lime juice and agave nectar—not the sugary mixers you might expect from a goblet of this size.
Time Out tip: Take a seat at the stunning bar, inspired by the geometry of Mexican Art Deco architecture, and enjoy half-off select bar bites and drinks from 4 to 7pm during happy hour (Monday to Friday).
