Casa MX Brings a Mexican Sharing Table to Coral Gables
A former home, agave cocktails and a menu made for passing plates give this Miami address its starting point.
Begin with the house
Casa MX's setting is part of its proposition. Greater Miami's official visitor guide describes the restaurant at 2345 Southwest 37th Avenue as a former Coral Gables home, with a menu inspired by the everyday rhythms of Mexico City.
The guide points to shareable small plates, larger dishes and cocktails with an emphasis on agave spirits. It is an appealing format for a meal whose main purpose is getting people around the same table.
A good sharing menu gives conversation somewhere to settle.

Order for the table
The visitor guide's published menu includes examples such as duck flautas, tuna tostadas and shrimp aguachile. Those dishes suggest different textures and temperatures to consider when assembling a shared order. The actual choices should come from the restaurant's current menu.
Use Casa MX's own website to make the reservation and review the latest information. For a group, ask how many plates make sense before filling the table at once. A few courses arriving in sequence can leave more room to enjoy the company and understand what the kitchen is doing.
Make the gathering easy
A practical plan
- Confirm the Southwest 37th Avenue address when arranging transportation.
- Check current menus and reservation times on Casa MX's website.
- Ask about indoor or outdoor seating for your party.
- Discuss portion sizes and dietary needs before ordering shared dishes.
The former-house format is a useful counterpoint to a highly choreographed night out: choose the people, reserve a table, and let the meal provide the occasion.
