Jones, the founder of Miami River hotspots Kiki on the River and Habibi Miami, has long admired Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill — in fact, he's been a loyal customer for years. "It's an honor to partner in an institution with such deep roots in Miami’s history," says Jones. "Casablanca Seafood isn’t just about incredible food — it's a symbol of resilience and success for the Cuban community. I'm proud to be part of its future while respecting its past."
And Jones is thinking big. He's got plans to take the Casablanca brand national, bringing its famed seafood and authentic Miami flavor to new audiences. But don’t worry — the heart and soul of Casablanca aren’t going anywhere. The Sanchez family, who built the restaurant from the ground up three decades ago, will remain partners, continuing their tradition of serving the best daily fresh catch. Their expertise in commercial fishing, spanning five generations, is what makes Casablanca a true gem.
