CORAL GABLES. Edgar Leal and Mariana Montero are the husband-and-wife culinary force behind this well-regarded restaurant. In fact, their skill with Pan-Latin cuisine often leaves patrons begging for more. Ease into the richness with Venezuelan fish soup or, perhaps, grouper ceviche with blue corn chips and salsa fria. Then, sample aji amarillo-glazed cod or chicken breast "Chalupa" style. Finally, indulge in the creative desserts that are Montero's realm – Grand Samán chocolate mousse or caramelized pineapple and mango frangipan tart. A decadent treat.
