Founded by Argentine film producer Sebastián Aloi, MUCHAAACHOS is a lively parrilla and bar that feels like a spirited fútbol chant brought to life on Normandy Drive — loud, proud, and filled with heart.
And between the open-fire cooking, buzzy soundtrack of World Cup energy, and a dining room that runs on nostalgia and flame, it promises to be equal parts celebration and comfort zone — and they have yet to let a returning diner down!
But it's not just MUCHAAACHOS' casual yet electric atmosphere that has everyone raving.
Here, the menu pulls no punches, spearheaded by their famous Parrillada platter that comes stacked with ribeye, housemade chorizo, blood sausage, mollejas, and grilled veggies — a meat lover's marathon that you'll want to join without hesitation.
There's also MUCHAAACHOS' Milanesa Napolitana (breaded beef tenderloin smothered in tomato sauce and mozzarella) that lands hot and hearty next to hand-cut fries.
For cheese fanatics, the provoleta arrives bubbling in a skillet, ready to be torn into with reckless abandon.
Veggie lovers aren't left behind either, thanks to their charred broccolini and fire-roasted cauliflower that can hold their own with bold flavors and silky sauces.
And for dessert, you better not miss their decadent Chocomisu (think chocotorta meets tiramisu) and famous flan that could convert even the most dessert-skeptical diner.
Add their curated wine list that hops between Argentina, Spain, Chile, and beyond, house vermouths, and ultra-dry Clarito that kicks like a goal in stoppage time, you'll know that MUCHAAACHOS is a full-blown Argentine homecoming, and Normandy Isle never smelled (or tasted) better.

Watch wood-charcoal grilling meet an extensive lineup of Turkish comfort food at Sumak, a quiet master of the flame along 71st Street.
With a fire-brick oven, an open kitchen, and a menu that leans into Mediterranean flavors, this neighborhood spot is built around slow cooking and bold spice, perfect for a hearty dinner, a quick treat during happy hour, or a celebration with your best buds, thanks to their shareable and satisfying servings.
At Sumak, your journey kicks off with Mezze — creamy labneh, roasted eggplant, muhammara, and other small plates that hit the table fast and disappear just as quickly.
From there, the grill takes over, as Lamb Adana kebap impresses you with that just-right char alongside juicy lamb chops, and a whole grilled branzino — three of Sumak's menu staples.
Vegetarians get plenty of love too, especially the fire-roasted eggplant kebab and other warm, spice-heavy veggie sides.
Then, when you're ready to wrap it up, the kunefe arrives crispy and syrupy with melted cheese at the center, the pistachio baklava hits all the right notes, and their cocktail lineup gives you more reasons to linger at your table.
Dinner plans, birthday dinners, random Wednesdays — whatever the occasion (or non-occasion), Sumak shows up with fire, flavor, and just the right amount of flair.

If you've never fished sushi off a boat, Katana on 71st Street offers you an iconic first of many.
And no, you won't have to bring your fishing gear when you visit — just an appetite and a good eye for timing.
Floating nigiri down its sushi river since the early 90s, the neighborhood classic offers bar seating wrapped around a miniature stream that delivers plate after plate of fresh, grab-it-while-you-can goodness with all the usual suspects — salmon, spicy tuna, eel, octopus, and tempura rolls — gliding by in endless formation.
Katana is tight, buzzy, and a little chaotic in the best way — part sushi bar, part spectacle, all fun.
Prefer to call your shots? Just hand your order to the chefs, and they'll make it happen.
Beyond the boats, Katana features bento boxes stacked with combos like chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura, or steaming bowls of udon if you're in a noodle mood.
Oh, and dessert rides the wave, too, especially the tempura cheesecake, which is just as over-the-top as it sounds.
Just remember that Katana doesn't do reservations, so there's usually a wait.
But once you're seated and the sushi starts drifting your way, you'll understand why this place is still going strong thirty years later.

If you're a "foodie" who gets excited when pasta is made inside a giant wheel of cheese, La Divina Comedia Gastro Bar is about to become your new go-to on Normandy Drive.
Nestled on Normandy Fountain, this trattoria keeps things relaxed but flavorful with its traditional pasta dishes, standout seafood, and hearty mains, along with a few surprises in the mix, made even better by a low-key but polished ambiance, whether indoors or outdoors!
Need a nudge in the right direction? Start with the Carbonara All'Italiana or Frutti di Mare if you want something classic, or go big with their signature Ruota di Parmigiano Tartufato — tagliatelle tossed in a giant Parmigiano wheel with truffle.
Seafood fans can dive into the Cozze All'Amalfitana (mussels in white wine and garlic), and the Tortelloni Miami Beach, filled with shrimp and mango in a passionfruit sauce, adds a tropical twist that pays homage to Normandy Isle's sun-kissed charm.
Meanwhile, if you're craving something cozy and filling, the Ossobuco di Giuseppe is slow-cooked, fork-tender, and comes with your choice of sides.
Pair everything on your table with a solid wine list of Italian reds and whites, or grab a drink from La Divina Comedia's full bar to complete the iconic dining experience.
You can also rely on the staff to recommend a pairing.
No theatrics, no pretense — just good food, good wine, and a restaurant that knows exactly what it's doing.
