Diez y Seis

Diez y Seis, one of the Best Mexican Restaurants in Miami, is a vibrant Mexican eatery with a view of the Shore Club's sparkling infinity pool. Its above-average regional food goes above and beyond what one would expect from a typical hotel restaurant. The flavors in chef Jose Icardi's already excellent adobo- and chipotle-braised meats really explode when paired with a variety of housemade salsas. Diez also provides tableside drink service to seal the deal: Throughout service, adorable carts with unique mixers and Mexican spirits roam the area around the pool.

What does a chef from Argentina know about Mexican cuisine? Evidently, enough to create a whole idea to sustain the nation's varied food. The 12-category upscale menu from chef Jose Icardi pays respect to the diverse regions of Mexico while emphasizing traditional American cuisine. Along with the short rib Benedict prepared with a crispy empanada and the churros a la roja, a deep-fried variation on traditional red velvet cake, there is the seaside-inspired Chompiras guacamole with bits of Maine lobster and key lime juice.

Diez y Seis, which was named in honor of Mexican Independence Day, excels at one thing better than most other bars: tableside beverage service. The cocktail menu includes an expected mix of tequila- and mescal-based drinks. At this poolside restaurant, adorable carts serving unique mixes and Mexican spirits circulate throughout service.
