Los Félix

Heritage corn sourced from across the Americas and seafood fetched from nearby waters are foundational pillars for this youthful restaurant in Coconut Grove. Such sustainability is a point of pride for Chef Sebastian Vargas, who offers a finely poised expression of Mexican cuisine that leans on subtle flavors and top-notch ingredients. Anyone can throw together a fish taco, but few are willing to source grouper from Key West, grill it in a banana leaf, and pair it with a deceptively addicting hazelnut emulsion. Another recent highlight featured a superb griddled corn cake paired with crab, smoked corn sauce, and charred plantains. The intimate setting attracts a handsome crowd with natural fibers, sleek wood, and a high-energy playlist.
