I'm a big fan of Peruvian food. At first, the name "Jaguar" threw me off since I don't usually associate jaguars with Peru. I'd be curious to know the story behind it. My wife and I went with our moms for an early Mother's Day dinner, and we all left happy. Overall, it was a great experience. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. We ordered the Peruvian ceviche, chaufa, and pork pernil. The pork was incredibly tender, and the yuca fries were some of the crispiest definitely my favorite dish. The chaufa tasted good, but the rice was overcooked. The location is also a big plus. It's right next to CocoWalk, so a great plan is to have lunch at Jaguar and then walk around the Coconut Grove farmers market afterward. read more

This restaurant is located in the heart of CocoWalk, which is very convenient, especially since it's right next to the parking garage. The decor is beautiful, with a lush tropical feel that perfectly reflects its name - Jaguar. Our group shared several dishes so we could try a variety of items, and everything was delicious. My favorite was the Pork Pernil it was incredibly flavorful and tender. The restaurant is on the pricier side, and the portions are not particularly large, so that's something to keep in mind when ordering. Overall, it's a great spot for the atmosphere and quality of the food. read more

I recently went to Jaguar with a group of friends looking for a spot to mingle and have a fun night out, and, it was a great choice! The ambiance is lively, definitely the kind of place that sets a mood for a senior crowd like we are. The music perfectly balanced, not too loud and not low, also great selection. The service was nice; our server was attentive and kept the energy up without being overbearing. But the real highlight of the night is the food and drinks. We started with the mini picanha tacos (served on a wooden board), and they were incredible. The meat was perfectly seasoned and topped with a fresh pico de gallo that really made the flavors authentic. We also shared some chips and guacamole which were the perfect pairing. The guac was fresh. To cheer the night, I had their Espresso Martini. Super creamy, foamy, perfectly balanced, and garnished with those classic coffee beans. If you're looking for a spot to roar with your gals in Coconut Grove that nails the 'cool' factor while serving high-quality food, scratch into Jaguar. read more

Jaguar in Coconut Grove completely won me over. From the moment I walked in, the energy felt right -- warm lighting, the hum of good conversation, and that cozy, tropical vibe that feels so Miami without trying too hard. I started with the ceviche sampler, and it honestly set the tone for the whole night -- every bite was fresh, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The flavors just pop. The picanha steak was another standout packed with flavor without being heavy. The staff deserves a shoutout too. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time. It didn't feel forced -- just good hospitality from people who love what they do. By the end of the night, I realized Jaguar isn't just another "nice restaurant." It's the kind of place that leaves an impression -- the food, the atmosphere, the way it all comes together. Perfect spot for a date night or just to treat yourself to something special. If you're in Coconut Grove, don't overthink it -- go to Jaguar. You'll leave happy. read more

After years of walking the grove and just looking inside this place I'm very disappointed with myself that I hadn't walked in here earlier. I recently went to a wedding reception here and the Latin American food that I had definitely has a new place in my heart. The smoked fish croquettes made me rethink what croquettes are suppose to be from how delicious, big and filling they were. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection and the ceviche makes me want to have my next date night here. They also have awesome service so if you're lost in the menu don't hesitate to ask the waiter for suggestions. Perfect for a business lunch, after work cocktails with great food or even taking that special someone out for a treat. read more

A very good restaurant with nice ambiance and good service. The Smoked Fish Croquettes were a perfect brown color and fried to perfection. Very delicious.

I love it hereeee! So fun fact, I used to come here when I was younger with my dad, and kind of forgot about this spot for a while. I recently went back in for their ceviche class, and have come back a few times since because it's SO good. The place is beautiful, very cozy, artistic, and very latinx inspired -- just like their food -- they offer a variety a different Latin bites, from Peruvian ceviches, to street style tacos, to creative bites with a special take Chef Oscar truly exceeds all expectations. You can tell everyone puts their heart and soul into this Coconut Grove gem, it really shows. We need more places like this in Miami! read more

We came here with our family as a group of 7 during happy hour. I recommend making a reservation as it was busy! Drinks were delicious and I felt like they were a good deal during happy hour. The menu was big and full of things I want to try- but I ended up getting the seasonal special escabeche. WOW. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a big portion. I tried my husbands tiger prawns and was equally impressed. Service was good and I appreciated how quick they were despite it being crowded. Would definitely come back for a special occasion :) read more

Ate at Jaguar on a Saturday morning, and it was surprisingly empty at 11am for brunch. However, it started filling up around 12/12:30pm. The actual restaurant is huge with a bar and plenty of indoor seating, but there are also a few tables outside. I ordered the Yucatan Breakfast and Fruit Plate off the brunch menu, and both were delicious! The pork came out piping hot, and several of the waiters warned me not to touch the cast iron skillet. It also came with a side of tortillas and guac. For $15, I found the portion size to very reasonable! The fruit plate had an assortment of 7 different fruits, including red dragonfruit, pineapple, and kiwi. The staff here was great. We had a large party, and everything came out correctly and in a short amount of time. read more

Jaguar is our go-to date night spot! The staff are very kind and accommodating and remember us by name. The food is out of this world fresh and delicious, and the wait times are never long without a reservation, but the restaurant stays comfortably busy and lively. Bonus, we often run into friends here! It's so fun to walk around coconut grove after dinner and see the pretty architecture or walk along the water. Beautifully located and well staffed, with an amazing menu and rotating specials! read more

Dinner here was great. We came.as a family for another birthday celebration. We were a party of 10 and made reservations prior so we were seated right away. It was the weekend so the Grove was full of energy. Jaguar definitely impressed with their music and wall murals. We all had had drinks of either pisco sours, margaritas, whisky, and bottles of red and white. All complimented our meals. We started off with the cheese empanadas which were fabulous, chips and salsa ( chips perfectly salted and salsa was blended so it was more of liquid than chunky form which went well). We also had the black market ceviche. It is an absolute must. I could've eaten it like a bowl of cereal it was so good! Around the table was salmon nora, chauffeur rice (with beef), churassco, mahi tacos, and steak tacos. Silence around the table. Everything was so good and worth multiple visits. We ordered the cheesecake for the birthday girl, that was absolutely delicious and had this cookie that gave it an extra crunch. Everyone's meal left everyone with smiles and pleasantly satisfied. Place is definitely solid. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, and amazing ambiance: fabulous restaurant! My friend was celebrating her 18th birthday here and had booked a reservation to celebrate with us and her family. We all had a great time together!! And the food was amazing and fresh! I recommend the Fish Tacos; i dont think I've ever seen so much fish in fish tacos lol. And literally the next day my parents wanted to try this place cause of how much we enjoyed it. They loved their experience as well! We got the guacamole as an appetizer; it was very fresh and the chips were nice and crunchy. For entrees, my father got the mahi mahi, my sister got the shrimp alajillo, and my mother got pork tacos. They all enjoyed their dishes! And i almost got the fish tacos again cause they were so good, but decided to change it up and get the Salmon Norma, which did not disappoint! For dessert, we got the chocolate cake, as recommended by the bday girl lol, which was soo yummy. The cake was warm and fluffy, which went well with the vanilla ice cream it came with. Overall would totally recommend!! :) read more

Love this place! So happy that it's still here after such a long time. My husband and I stopped here to have some drinks fortunately for us it was Happy Hour.

The ambience was very casual and pleasant. read more

I went to Jaguar back in June and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. All I can say is...CEVICHE!!!! I mean, it's what the restaurant is known for, but holy goodness. I started with the Mexico over Melon...anything watermelon and lychee is a go to for me...the mezcal was an interesting touch as I don't typically go for a smoky flavor but I was curious. It was good! Wouldn't order it a second time, though. As for J, he got the Pisco Sour which I recall him thoroughly enjoying. We went in with a plan. We knew we're going to order 2 ceviches....but after the two arrived we opted for another 2 because they were just that delicious. My favorite was the peruano- we ended up with two orders of it. The citrus of the lime paired with the corn was insane. We also tried the vuelve a la vide, and traditional oriental. They were all to die for and had their own unique flavor profiles that made them shine individually. I don't know what we were thinking ordering more, but of course we needed to try some meat! I went with the pork pernil. I remember it being tasty- and the yuca fries in the guava were such an interesting combo. J got the churrasco and enjoyed it but we were so incredibly full from the ceviche that we didn't even make a dent. The ambiance here was a 10, food was a 10, service was a 10, company was a 100! If we ever return to the Coconut Grove area we will DEFINITELY be back for round 2! read more

Requested outdoor seating for lunch last week on Monday. It was not overly full indoors or out. The service was attentive and friendly, the food was fresh and tasty and the ambiance nice and breezy due to the overlapping canopies outdoors which was nice :) The restroom was well kept and clean and the indoor decor was rustic and welcoming. Next time I'd like to go for dinner and request indoor seating. read more

After a Saturday morning run, my friend and I decided to try this place out. We chose to dine outside, had we been dry we probably would have chosen to eat inside as the restaurant really is beautifully decorated. We were told we missed their brunch menu by a week-so sad! Next week they'll be rolling it out on the weekends. (So we'll just have to come back to try it). We ordered from their regular menu, which is extensive. It was difficult to decide what to order as every dish sounded delicious. After much debate, my friend and I decided we would split two dishes, the Lomo Saltado and the Arroz con Mariscos-mixto (which came with tuna, shrimp, calamari, and octopus). Both were large portions, we definitely had leftovers. The arroz con mariscos really had a healthy portion of seafood. But I really enjoyed the Lomo. The Flan de queso was also very tasty! Would highly recommend it for dessert. (Definitely shareable.) read more

Coming to Jaguar for my friend's birthday was a great experience. Walking in, you feel Jaguar's upscale vibe. It was a place you could take a picture anywhere, and the background would be great. The front-of-the-house staff were amiable and pleasant. I did not have to wait for a table very long. It was also very cool that I was able to sit at my table before the entire party arrived. Once the part arrived, we got to order. Our waiter took excellent care of us, no doubt about it. I ordered the chicken costeño, which tasted very fresh. The jerk spice Aioli sauce was the perfect pairing for this dish. I highly recommend it. I think the only downside was the portions of the dish were kinda small, essentially that my protein was a rotisserie chicken. Otherwise, I recommend coming here for a nice lunch date or if this is stop #1 of your date night. read more

I went to Jaguar this weekend with some girlfriends for a girls' night out. The food was good (for the most part), but we weren't fans of the drinks. Here's what we tried: a spicy margarita (which we sent back because it was way too sweet), a passion fruit margarita (5/10), two passion fruit mojitos, and a Paloma Sour (in my opinion, the only decent drink). That said, the service was absolutely spectacular. Our server was incredibly kind and made sure to ask for feedback so they could improve anything we didn't like. For food, we ordered: the Ceviche Vuelve a la Vida (AMAZING), the Peruvian ceviche, and the fried calamari, which we all agreed was the best dish--so much so that we ordered another round! The queso fundido was also very tasty. Two dishes we didn't love: the fish croquettes (which were more like fish meatballs ) and the steak tacos. They weren't bad, just unremarkable. At the end of the meal, our server graciously gifted us a tres leches dessert, which we all fought over--it was hands down the star of the night and one of the best we've ever had! In conclusion, I'd consider going back for the food, but the drinks definitely need improvement. It's not the best spot for a ladies' night out. read more

I'm going to start out by saying I'm really surprised reading some of these negative reviews! I came here one weekday afternoon with a girlfriend and had excellent service and loved all the food. To drink I wasn't sure if I wanted the lychee mojito or the coconut mojito and my server was so kind and said she can get me a mojito with a mix of both! Like what? Above and beyond right there! I was waiting for my friend for quite so time (she runs on Miami time) so while I was waiting I want to say my server came around like 3 or 4 times to check if I wanted another refill, order anything in the meantime, etc. I really have to say the service was awesome. To eat, my friend and I got the Queso Fundido, the Ceviche Oriental, and the Fish Croquettas to split. Everything was delish!!!!! The queso hit the spot and it took everything in me not to lick the sauce off the plate of the ceviche oriental! The fish croquettas were so good we literally inhaled them! Also, the presentation of the plates was so nice. I really enjoyed this spot and would certainly recommend it to anyone in the area! I can't wait to go back!! The ambiance is also really pretty, trendy and chić, love the vibe here! read more

This place is absolutely stunning! I don't mean just the place itself, but the food as well! I visited this place twice this week, when I first saw this place I told myself "This place seems like it's super expensive". Well let me tell you, I was wrong. The items on the menu are perfectly priced. Both times we visited we went during happy hour times. Drinks are good , well priced between $5-9 depending on what you decide to get. And all the apps that are on the happy hour menu go for $8. Their food is EXTREMELY flavorful & their cocktails as well. From the happy hour menu we ordered 3 things , and not one of them disappointed me . This is my new spot ! Can't wait to go back read more

What took me so long to try Jaguar?! Jaguar is a spot near Cocowalk that celebrates LATAM cuisine. The menu pays tribute to Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and more. I had some of the best ceviche ever, along with excellent guacamole that was so fresh, and generously portioned mahi tacos. If Chef Oscar is there, just get what he tells you to try! read more

Great Latin restaurant in the heart of coco walk! Friendly staff, delicious food, good portions, and their Miami Spice Menu is small but very flavorful (: The atmosphere felt tropical but classy with the decor. Their is a parking lot right next to it, so parking was not a problem. Keep in mind that the parking is $4 an hour. Tried the Shrimp Appetizer (like a ceviche), Lomo Saltado, and for dessert Flan de Queso (Cheese Flan). All for a price of $35. Not including drinks of course. The reason I gave Jaguar a 4 and not a 5 is because the Lomo Saltado was too salty for me and was drinking lots of water in between bites. But everything else was marvelous. We sat at the bar and our server/Bartender was awesome, gave us great tips and made our drinks perfectly! Highly recommend! ^.^ read more
