Residing on Brickell Key, this contemporary Mexican eatery is as stunning as it is gastronomically ambitious!<\/p>\n<p>The new opening marks a major expansion for the brand, following the success of its Dallas flagship. In 2023, The Mexican Dallas earned the prestigious Prix Versailles, naming it not only the best in North America but crowning it as one of the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Beautiful Restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spanning more than 10,000 square feet with sweeping bay views, acclaimed architect Paulina Mor\u00e1n took the reins on giving the Miami outpost its Mexican art-driven design. She sourced much of the art, furniture and materials featured in the venue from owner Roberto Gonz\u00e1lez Alcal\u00e1\u2019s hometown of Monterrey.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"The Mexican Miami interior\" class=\"wp-image-55173\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/THEMEXICAN-INTERIOR-2346-1024x683.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/THEMEXICAN-INTERIOR-2346-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Mexican Miami interior\" class=\"wp-image-55173\"  \/>Ruben Cabrera<\/p>\n<p>Upon entering, diners are welcomed into a curated tequila gallery lined with rare and collectible bottles. The dining room itself is a marvel, anchored by dramatic circular ceiling installations composed of layered wood slats, and framed by limestone archways. Geometric tile flooring offers a nod to classic Mexican patterns, while floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Brickell skyline.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"The Mexican interior views\" class=\"wp-image-55176\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/THEMEXICAN-INTERIOR-2412-edit-1024x683.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/THEMEXICAN-INTERIOR-2412-edit-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Mexican interior views\" class=\"wp-image-55176\"  \/>Ruben Cabrera<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to enjoy their meal outdoors, the stunning atmosphere extends to a second waterfront bar, covered patio seating and a lower-level terrace that descends right toward the water\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n<p>A taste of Mexico in Brickell Key<\/p>\n<p>While The Mexican\u2019s look alone is worth the reservation, the menu takes center stage.

Standouts include the Barbacoa de Arrachera (slow-cooked skirt steak), Ribeye Aguachile and Lobster Elote. The restaurant also features dishes exclusive to Miami like the flavorful Tuna Tomahawk.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, guests can sip on their cocktail selection, such as Mujeres Divinas (infused with hibiscus and damiana), La Ni\u00f1a Fresa (fruit-forward blend of strawberry and ginger) and elevated reserve margaritas like Zapata and Pancho Villa.<\/p>\n<p>The Mexican is now open at 601 Brickell Key Drive, Suite 100. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themexican.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"http:\/\/www.themexican.com\" data-action=\"text_cta_0\" data-category=\"click_non_sales\">Visit their website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Staff Writer \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 April 12, 2026 If you\u2019re looking for a restaurant that\u2019ll serve up a feast&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":["post-228731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
