Bib Gourmand 2

Barra Callao

Bib Gourmand$$Peruvian, Seafood

Blink and you'll miss this place, located in a spacious parade of shops in North Miami. There are no airs at this tiny space from Chef Anthony Verastegui. Sit at the counter of this simple raw bar and enjoy a warm welcome as he preps causas and ceviche. Expect a dozen or so dishes with no starters and no desserts. Each dish is freshly prepared with skill and knowledge while the flavors are clean and vibrant. A fine bowl of the tuna tataki rocoto, with its thick slices of cured red tuna, has a superb smoked flavor, and the Faroe salmon topped with a lovely cilantro salsa is outstanding.

Cotoa

Bib Gourmand$$Latin American

From the decor to the menu, Ecuador is at the heart of this hotspot from Chef Alejandra Espinoza. Everything feels welcoming, with lovely background music and a menu that is a riot of color and flavor. Begin with pristine mahi mahi in a smooth blend of coconut, ginger and peanut with thin strips of watermelon radish for a winning combination. Don't miss the cassava muchines, or the flavor-packed tortellini con seco de pollo. The caramelized pineapple in the pina para la nina will leave you smacking your lips for days.
