Jaque Mate Kendall

The place had very different decor,but it was very nice. The place was DEAD, mind you this was a friday night. We ordered the 3 cheese pizza and it had an aftertaste a kin to that of taking a nice big whiff of nail polish remover. I ended up eating the fried calamari I ordered as an appetizer (which was pretty good with that sauce that came along with it).

This place is great and a real gem in Kendall. Really cool. Food is good and the coconut mojitos are awesome. This isn’t your typical place. It’s more like an experience with a fun and family friendly atmosphere. There are dancers that dress up and a really funny guy on stilts dancing and entertaining. That along with the excellent live music (a group called Sugar) Make it feel like you’re inside a Latin music video with a nice party going on and everyone having a good time... The sound system is amazing with top of the line EV speakers. You will feel those beats. They play all the top Latin music. Service was great with the server being mindful of us at all times. Really glad to find this.

Fun place to enjoy a friday night with friends or your bf/hubby. Music is ok but I've heard better mixes. Sometimes music is too loud (specially during dinner hrs when you want to talk while you eat). Other than that they have good appetizers and entrees. I tried the brownie dessert and it was great. Drinks are priced OK but i guess happy hour is your best bet so you don't pay 10/15 per drink .
