Skinny Louie
The stakes are high for Miami-based Skinny Louie, the winner of the Very Best Burger Award at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s 2025 Burger Bash. The West Palm location, which opened in June, delivers with a short but well-curated menu of all-black-Angus-beef smash burgers and three milkshake flavors: Cookies and Cream, Choco Brownie, and Strawberry Bliss. “We love being able to reach people all across Florida, not just in Miami or the tourist spots,” say owners Matias Palloni and Gonzalo Rubino. “Opening in West Palm Beach is part of that vision. Our expansion is all about growing with our local community, bringing Louie to the neighborhoods, to the people who are here every day. We don’t just want to be a stop for visitors. We want to be a go-to spot for our neighbors.”
Tacos Del Cartel
Another expansion making waves in downtown West Palm is Tacos Del Cartel. Since debuting on Clematis Street in July, this Louisiana-based restaurant has gained a local reputation for its Big Easy vibes and elevated Mexican cuisine. The signature tacos feature made-from-scratch tortillas and come in such tantalizing varieties as birria and soft-shell crab. There’s also a raw and sushi bar portion of the menu that boasts cool mash-ups like the Morita Dragon Roll, with tempura shrimp, chives, avocado, and three sauces: spicy, eel, and morita. A lively brunch scene and a robust happy hour (available weekdays from 2 to 6 p.m.) are also on tap at this burgeoning hot spot.
