This tiny pop-up restaurant from 2 Miami chefs won a Michelin star. Now it's closing
The farm-to-table pop-up that defied the odds to win a Michelin star is closing in Miami Shores.
EntreNos, the brainchild of chefs Evan Burgess and Osmel Gonzalez, has announced its time sharing space with Tinta y Cafe, which was open during the day with EntreNos taking over at night, has come to an end.
The restaurant, which opened in 2023 with an eye toward sustainability and sourcing as much as possible from Florida farms, ranches and fishermen, announced the news on Instagram.
'What started as a short-term pop-up turned into something far more meaningful than we ever expected,' the post said. 'We never planned to last this long but the support, dedication, and love we received made it impossible to walk away. Tinta y Cafe became a home. And at the heart of that home were the farmers, ranchers, fisherfolk, and artisans, those who showed us, season after season, that Florida can grow with purpose, with integrity, and with a true sense of place.'
The restaurant, at 9840 NE Second Ave., became known for its ability to preserve, freeze, ferment and macerate local ingredients to find uses for them out of season. Burgess and Gonzalez strove to source ingredients from around the state, from the pig farms in central Florida to the agricultural oasis of Homestead.
Local sourcing was a key component of the restaurant.
'You go to a restaurant, and the fish isn't from Florida,' Burgess told the Miami Herald when EntreNos opened. 'Michelin-starred restaurants are getting ingredients from around the world, and there are amazing ingredients in Florida. We agreed we're sick of that system.'
The hard work paid off for the pair quickly: In 2024, EntreNos was awarded a Michelin star and praised for its small but impressive menu.
'The eclectic, inviting space may be small, but the cooking here is not to be underestimated,' the guide wrote. 'Just-caught seafood and beautifully grown produce from the Sunshine state take on lives of their own in the hands of this bold, creative team. Think shrimp from Cape Canaveral and soft, confit potatoes with chawanmushi or consider the dry-aged, grilled cobia served with a Moujean tea beurre blanc.'
In 2025, EntreNos retained its star and added a Michelin Green Star, an award that highlights restaurants that for outstanding commitment to sustainable practices in gastronomy, places that are leading the way in eco-friendly and ethical food sourcing, waste reduction, and overall environmental responsibility.
The restaurant will remain open through June. The team is scheduling a series of special events to celebrate EntreNos; follow @entrenosmiami for a schedule.
