The Vibe
Seven Spanish locations distilled onto Miracle Mile. El Ñano opened in spring 2026 in a 100-seat room where Ecuadorian coastal tradition takes the lead — encebollado is the anchor, ceviches are bright and unapologetically citric, and the bar keeps pace with a full cocktail list. The first U.S. flag for this Barcelona-born group, and it arrives already confident.
