Miami Fusion Cafe opened a second location at 5511 U.S. 280, Suite 114 on Nov. 16.
Luis Delgado wants to bring a Pepper Place-like atmosphere to the U.S 280 corridor. Along with opening his new restaurant, he has a vision to bring live music, car shows and more.
Delgado, owner and chef of Miami Fusion Cafe downtown, has been bringing the Caribbean flavors of his childhood to the Birmingham metro area for nine years and recently opened his second location of his Caribbean restaurant in the Greystone area.
A native of Caugas, Puerto Rico, Delgado moved to Miami when he was 9 years old and learned how to cook from his grandmother.
