Maíz y Agave: A Three-Floor Mexican Table in Coral Gables

Start with the two crops

Corn and agave give Maíz y Agave both its name and its organizing idea. At 375 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, the restaurant spreads a Mexican dining experience across three levels, including a rooftop.

The restaurant describes an Oaxacan influence, with corn-based cooking and tequila and mezcal drinks carrying the theme through the building. For a first visit, the floor you select is a meaningful part of the meal.

Choose the room with the same care you give the menu.

The reservation listing gives the practical distinction: outdoor seating has a limited menu, while the indoor first- and second-floor dining areas offer the full menu. That makes it worth deciding whether this is a rooftop drink or a dinner with a wider range of dishes.

The published food choices include tlayuda, cochinita pibil and short rib with mole negro. Consider those a reading list for the kitchen's range, then consult the current menu before settling on an order. A corn-based starter and a mole dish would give a first-time guest two different ways into the restaurant's central ingredients.

Before booking

• Select the dining area deliberately; the menus differ.
• Confirm whether rooftop service is available for your date.
• Ask about ingredients and dietary needs when choosing a mole or shared plate.
• Check the current drinks list for tequila and mezcal options.

The appeal is the ability to shape the occasion within one address, from a meal centered on Mexican cooking to a drink above Miracle Mile.
