About us

our story

At Jaguar, the spirit of this admired jungle cat comes alive, bold, confident, and deeply rooted in the lands it calls home. Since opening in 2005, Chef Oscar del Rivero has drawn inspiration from such rich regions of Central and South America. This Coconut Grove gem weaves together Mexican, Peruvian, Argentine, Chilean, Venezuelan, and Cuban influences into a menu that feels both timeless and alive.

Each dish is crafted with intention, vibrant, balanced, and unforgettable, bringing together the depth and diversity of Latin American cuisine. As an acclaimed restaurant in Miami, we continue to serve a global community, inviting guests to gather, connect, and experience flavors that are deeply anchored in tradition yet constantly evolving.

We are Jaguar

Respected and revered for thousands of years, the jaguar has played an important role in the ecosystems of its natural habitat, Central and South America. It is this region of the world, and the range, that is the inspiration behind our cuisine and our restaurant.

Inspiration

In 2005, we opened our doors to the public with a unique offer for Miami's culturally diverse community. Chef Oscar del Rivero has always been inspired by Miami's mix of Latin American cultures. The traditional abundance that each culture brings to the table has provided our restaurant with a solid core that brings our concept together. It excites us to share this concept with our local community.

Located in the heart of Coconut Grove, we have been part of an evolving and lively community that continues to grow and keeps inviting people from every corner of the world, giving our mission a bigger purpose.

Our Menu

We offer a variety of ways for our community to enjoy our cuisine. Our multiple menus provide different experiences for you to indulge in our culture. Whether you stop by for a chef-curated lunch menu, a hearty homestyle brunch on the weekends, or grab some LATAM street-food-inspired bites and fresh cocktails during Hora Jaguar, you can celebrate any occasion with your family and friends with our fully customizable menus tailored to your plans. You can also enjoy our classic and special dishes rich in tradition and heritage.

We are dedicated to inviting our guests to experience the warmth of Latin American hospitality, cultural richness, and vibrant flavors.

Mission and Goals

To have our family proudly share our roots with our community through authentic food, kind service, and good times in the comfort of our CASA.

Inspired by the jaguar's broad presence across regions of the continent, we are committed to reaching and serving communities beyond our local neighborhood, offering a product and experience that's valuable, distinct, and consistent.
