La Cañita - Kendall

La Cañita Kendall brings Cuban-inspired cooking, handcrafted cocktails and live music to The Palms at Town and Country Mall. The menu spans croquetas, empanadas, ceviche, churrasco and ropa vieja alongside steakhouse cuts like filet mignon and rib eye, served in a dining room, at the bar or out on the patio.

A live band plays most nights of the week, drawing a crowd that dances between courses, and weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday mornings. Weekly specials include Wine Monday, Lobster Tuesday and Cigar Thursday.

The space is casual but lively, with warm lighting, tiled bar counters and a stage built into the dining room. It's a popular pick for birthday celebrations, date nights and groups looking for Cuban comfort food with upscale casual pricing.

Guests consistently single out the servers and bartenders by name for attentive, warm service. Free parking is available in the shopping center lot, and the restaurant takes reservations through OpenTable for parties planning ahead.
