The restaurant was inspired by traditional Mexican tianguis aka open-air markets, and keeping with that ethos, Ojo De Agua boasts its own on-site market that sells items like produce and salsas. The space itself keeps with the Mexican influence with the majority of the décor items being sourced from Mexico or from Mexican artists and include elements such as milk bottle boxes used as light fixtures, lemon squeezers that serve as napkin holders, and colorful reusable bags offered for market purchases. The furniture hails from different states of Mexico and the interior graphics and large indoor mural represents the colorful facades of Mexican towns.
Ojo De Agua Miami is now open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and available on UberEats and Toast.
