Brickell Key is getting its first major dining destination in years<\/a>. The Mexican<\/a>, an acclaimed Dallas restaurant that\u2019s a favorite of the city\u2019s fine-dining scene, will open in Miami this April. The spot will open in a gorgeous, sprawling waterfront space at 601 Brickell Key Dr., overlooking the Miami South Channel.<\/p>\n

Owned by Monterrey, Mexico businessman Roberto Gonz\u00e1lez Alcal\u00e1, the restaurant is a high-end homage to Northern Mexican heritage. The Dallas flagship gained attention in 2023 when it was named one of the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Beautiful Restaurants\u201d <\/a>by Prix Versailles. According to the team, this is a title the Miami outpost looks to uphold with an equally stunning restaurant.<\/p>\n

Northern Mexican Fare and Fire-Driven Cooking<\/p>\n

As for the menu, the kitchen steers clear of standard Tex-Mex fare. Instead, the menu focuses on the fire-driven traditions of Monterrey, Mexico. While the Miami menu will feature local exclusives like a tuna tomahawk, the Dallas original is known for its meat plates, expected to anchor the program.<\/p>\n

The raw bar features seared American Wagyu ribeye cap in the \u201cAguachile de Ribeye,\u201d finished with truffle oil and a roja aguachile. Other starters include the \u201cChicharr\u00f3n de Ribeye,\u201d crispy chunks of Wagyu served with guacamole, and the filet-and-bone marrow tacos, topped with piqu\u00edn lim\u00f3n. For those craving seafood, the sea bass ceviche boasts pineapple and salsa morita for a smoky treat.<\/p>\n

More Than Just Steaks<\/p>\n

The main courses lean into substantial cuts from the grill. Dallas favorites include a ten-ounce Akaushi American Wagyu Spinalis and a 33-ounce Australian Wagyu Tomahawk. On the lighter side, the \u201cEnchiladas del Mar Trio\u201d offers a sampler of shrimp, king crab, and lobster tail, each paired with a different regional sauce, such as mezcal habanero or chiapaneca.<\/p>\n

The beverage program follows suit with an extensive mezcal and tequila list, alongside signature cocktails like the \u201cMujeres Divinas,\u201d made with hibiscus and damiana, and the \u201cZapata,\u201d an elevated reserve margarita made with ultra-aged tequilas.<\/p>\n

Art Driven Interiors<\/p>\n

The interior, handled by acclaimed architect Paulina Mor\u00e1n, aims for an immersive experience that steers clear of typical Mexican cantina tropes. Upon entering through floor-to-ceiling golden double doors, guests are met with a tequila gallery featuring hundreds of rare bottles.<\/p>\n

The dining room features a hand-laid geometric heart installation and dramatic circular wood ceiling structures that float above limestone archways. The space accommodates over 330 guests, with a second bar on a patio and a lower-level terrace that sits directly on the water, offering views of the Brickell skyline.<\/p>\n
