Miami Welcomes Sala de Despecho: A Bold Fusion of Mexican Pop Culture, Culinary Artistry and Heartfelt a Soundtrack

Coming in May, Miami is about to feel the beat of heartbreak—in the best way possible—with the arrival of Sala de Despecho Wynwood, a vibrant new concept blending the soul of Mexican pop culture with the energy of Wynwood’s artistic edge. Set to open to the public Friday, May 2, 2025, Sala de Despecho promises an experience where passion, flavor, and heartfelt sing-a-long music curation collide in unforgettable ways.

This new entertainment destination is the result of a collaboration between two hospitality industry pioneers, The Dirty Rabbit Group, the masterminds behind Wynwoods beloved nightlife staples The Dirty Rabbit and MAD Club, and the Mandala Group, renowned for crafting immersive cultural and culinary experiences across Mexico. Originating from Guadalajara, Mexico, Sala De Despecho has swiftly risen to prominence and stands out by creating an unforgettable ambiance that blends modern flair with a touch of melancholy. Together, The Dirty Rabbit Group and Mandala Group are creating a space where heartbreak becomes the main character, and flowing tequila is the remedy.

“We want this to be a signature experience, where people feel immersed in the essence of Mexican and Latin culture while they eat, drink, and let go,” says Raul Vargas, Director of Operations for the Mandala Group. “Partnering with The Dirty Rabbit Group was a natural choice—they’re true experts in Wywnood’s nightlife and have an unmatched ability to create spaces that resonate with the local energy and culture.”

Far more than just another restaurant, Sala de Despecho is an emotional and sensory journey. Located at 218 NW 25th St., Miami, FL 33127, guests can expect a menu rich with flavor prepared by Mexico City’s famed Taco Atarantados, along with a cocktail program designed to celebrate both heartbreak and healing. Featuring soaring ceilings, vibrant Mexican decor, and a striking floor-to-ceiling bar, Sala de Despecho channels the elevated charm of a high-end cantina, while paying tribute to iconic artists from the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s. Menu highlights include a wide selection of mouthwatering Tacos, Cachetadas, Arabes and Mexican Espaciales, such as Pirates Atarantados, Tortilla A Elegir, and Carne Asada. From inventive drinks to beloved classics, tequila takes center stage, reinforcing the Mandala Group’s signature touch: bold, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Signature cocktails include the Paquita, made with Tequila Maestro Blanco, Raspberry, Lychee Syrup, Cranberry Juice and Lemon Juice, and the Tamarindo, made of Mezcal 400 Conojes, Grilled Pineapple, Tamarind Mix, Grapefruit Juice and Pineapple Juice.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Mandala Group to bring something so fresh, authentic and emotionally resonates to Miami,” says Luis Ginestra, CEO/Executive Director of The Dirty Rabbit Group. “It’s a blend of party and passion that we know will strike a chord with locals and visitors alike.”
