Los Félix

Los Félix is a Mexican restaurant in Coconut Grove that takes great pride in all it does, including its tortillas. Almost wherever you go, tortillas serve as a simple delivery system for delectable foods, much like the white bread in a meatloaf sandwich. Not at Los Félix, where they take great pride in all they do, including their tortillas.

The molino, or traditional mill, is put up directly in the middle of the dining room and grinds the imported Mexican maize using a volcano rock. You should try them on their own, soaking up the nutty, toasted goodness of something fantastic because it's also so easy, once the freshly ground masa is pressed into small disks and grilled.

From there, the food at Los Félix becomes much more complicated: a beet carpaccio that resembles a spring flower, a blue corn quesadilla with colorful squash blossoms fanning out from the opening, meaty mushrooms blooming from the crispy sopes, well-seasoned pibil shrimp in a pair of tacos, and pork cheeks stewed into the most tender carnitas. You will pay for all of this attention to detail in the food because the portions are small and the prices are high—expect to pay around $100 per person for tacos and other items of this nature. However, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is hip, evoking a popular chef-driven restaurant in Mexico City's Polanco district.
