There’s something about grilled mahi mahi that never goes out of style. Maybe it’s the clean, mild flavor of the fish, or the way it holds up beautifully to fire and seasoning. At Cayo Esquivel, we treat mahi mahi with the respect it deserves — grilling it fresh to order, and letting the quality of the fish shine through.

Whether you’re in Miami or Hialeah Gardens, this dish is available at both of our locations — ready for lunch breaks, seafood dinners, or casual weekends when you want something light, clean, and satisfying.
The Simplicity of Fire and Freshness
Our grilled mahi mahi isn’t complicated — and that’s exactly why it works. Each fillet is brushed with olive oil, lightly seasoned with herbs and citrus, and cooked over an open flame until the edges char just slightly. It’s that perfect balance of flaky inside and caramelized outside that tells you it was done right.
We don’t drown it in sauce. You can ask for one — like our lemon parsley, marsala, or pineapple reduction — but most of our regulars enjoy it just the way it comes: clean, grilled, and plated with your choice of sides.
What Makes It a Favorite?
People love our mahi mahi because it’s light but filling, rich without being heavy, and always cooked to order. Whether you pair it with yellow rice, grilled vegetables, or something indulgent like fried cassava, it adapts. It’s a dish that works equally well for a quick lunch or a full sit-down dinner.
Many customers also appreciate that it’s a healthy option on our menu — low in fat, high in protein, and naturally gluten-free. But make no mistake: this isn’t “diet food.” It’s hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.

Not Just Another Fish Dish
Grilled mahi mahi is common across seafood menus, but ours has something others don’t: flavor that comes from tradition. At Cayo Esquivel, we’ve been working with Caribbean and Latin flavors for decades. That experience shows in how we treat our seafood — with restraint, balance, and confidence.
You won’t find artificial marinades or bland cuts here. Just fresh, responsibly sourced mahi mahi, grilled to perfection and served with the sides you love.
