Los Félix – Miami – a MICHELIN Guide Restaurant
Reviews
Came in hungry, left emotionally supported by food. Every plate looked like it had a little swagger and tasted even better. The tacos? Absolute yes—juicy, flavorful, topped with onion/cilantro, and the lime squeeze situation was doing the most (in the best way). Then there was this cozy, creamy brothy dish with these lil dumpling-y bites floating around like they pay rent there—comfort food but make it fancy.
Also… whoever is in charge of sauces here is clearly having fun, and I respect it. One plate had this bright yellow sauce with dramatic dark dots like a chef’s version of modern art, and somehow it worked. And the cauliflower… listen… I don’t usually get excited about cauliflower, but this one was charred and smoky and basically said “I’m the main character,” and honestly? It was.
Service was just as solid—friendly, on it, and made us feel taken care of without hovering. And if you need proof this place is the real deal, they’ve literally got MICHELIN Guide plaques on the wall for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025—not surprising after eating here.

We traveled five hours to dine here and left genuinely disappointed.
Where in the world do I start? My group made an advanced reservation for Los Félix. Upon arrival my party checked in with the host inside. Despite having a confirmed reservation we had to wait close to 30 mins for a table to open. We later found out that the host didn’t actually check our group in and a group that came in after us got seated before us. After about 20 mins of waiting awkwardly inside basically bumping up against a table filled with diners (awkward due to the restaurant not really having an indoor waiting area or lobby for guests) we were seated upstairs at a different restaurant by the General Manager as we waited for our table to open. We put in a drink order to enjoy a few sips while we waited. The bar was behind on orders so we didn’t have a drink to enjoy until well after being seated at our table downstairs at Los Félix. Mind you, we had about 4 people ask us if we wanted a drink just to tell the we already placed a drink order. This tells me nobody at the restaurant was properly handing off information to the next person taking charge of our experience.
After being seated outdoor, we placed the order for our entire table to share a bunch of plates. The server kept trying to get us to change the dishes we wanted. It was sort of annoying. I appreciate their opinion on what would go well together but after we declined their recommendation they should have stopped. We asked if we could keep a single menu at our table in case we wanted to order more plates. Initially the server said yes and then he came back insisting to take it. Like why?
The food itself was delicious in both presentation and depth of flavor. The Japanese sweet potato puree that came with the tetala made me want to order a second just for myself. The presentation of the smoked trumpet mushrooms felt more like a piece of art than a dish that should have been dug into. The Al pastor tacos weren’t great, they were a tad dry and my main thought was I’ve had better tacos at street carts in Phoenix. But the carnitas made up for it. Well balanced and each bite felt like the perfect taco. The corn dumplings, basically a rife on gnocchi, was good but the corn itself lacked seasoning. The sauce made up for it with lots of fresh citrus flavor plus a deep nutty flavor from the sesame. Caviar was added to some of the dishes but nobody at the table felt it elevated the dishes at all. Just a weird add on.
I appreciate the servers changed out our plates and silverware multiple times throughout service. I also like the aromatic hand towels at the end of the meal. Despite being busy I felt the venue was clean and well maintained.
The big no-no’s for me: restaurant couldn’t honor our reservation time, the host didn’t actually check-in our party which allowed another group to be seated who checked in after us, it took the general manager 20 mins to put our group up at a table so we had somewhere warm to wait vs. outside, four different front of house staff asked if we wanted drinks despite having already placed an order, and the server pushing his own agenda for our table’s food order and insisting to take the menu away from us.
The kitchen at Los Félix does a nice job with the quality of the plates but the front of house needs A LOT of training on hospitality and how to run efficiently. Sadly, based on the experience I had I cannot recommend this restaurant until they figure out how to run out their service hiccups.
Every dish we ordered was executed well (although we didn’t care for the corn dumplings – mainly because we were expecting filled, structured dumplings, and the dish featured soft, drop-style dough pieces in sauce) but seemed to be one step away from being exceptional.
The service was good, but not what I would expect from a one star restaurant. Our server was sweet and tried her best, but forgot part of our order (we had to ask about it when she brought out dessert menus – the item was made, comped, and we received complimentary dessert along with several apologies), didn’t know the daily catch, and wasn’t even aware that she was taking our table.
Maybe she was new? Maybe it was an off night? Regardless, don’t let me dissuade you, it’s worth the reservation for the dessert alone!
