Wynwood Kitchen & Bar (WKB), Miami’s Global-Latino dining destination with cutting-edge art, innovative cocktails and live music, will launch ‘Taste of the Americas’ – a three-month series celebrating the signature cuisine of Latin American countries. The series kicks off in May, when Executive Chef Miguel Aguilar will showcase specialty dishes from Mexico, available each Thursday throughout the month.

“Our menu is all about exploring Latin American cuisine from around the globe. Taste of the Americas allows me an opportunity to spotlight some of my favorite cuisines and share those with our diners,” says Aguilar. “I’m excited to start with Mexico because the food is simple yet fun and packs a lot of flavor.”

PLATO VERDE ($14)

Housemade guacamole and crabmeat pico de gallo with tortilla chips

QUESO FUNDIDO ($12)
