About BAKAN

BAKAN is Wynwood's standout Mexican restaurant, blending traditional flavors with a modern Miami sensibility inside a roomy, stylishly designed space at 2801 NW 2nd Ave. Helmed by Executive Chef Lalo Durazo, the menu celebrates authentic Mexican cuisine through blue corn tortillas, short rib tacos, sea bass tacos, queso fundido, and one of Miami's most impressive mezcal and margarita programs — with over 100 mezcals to choose from.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between casual and upscale: trendy and Instagrammable with a cozy warmth that works for date nights, group dinners, and everything in between. Outdoor and indoor seating options cater to the quintessential Wynwood experience.

With live music, happy hour Monday through Friday, and late-night hours on weekends, BAKAN has earned its place as a neighborhood staple and a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists exploring Miami's art district. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends.
