This La Palma is a no-frills West Miami mainstay. Most Magic City natives know it is the place to get churros – basically Latin doughnuts – on a chilly night. And although the cafe con leche is sweet and typically close to perfection, it’s not for dunking. Churros here can be accompanied only by this […]
You’d think more restaurants in this food capital of the Caribbean would know how to fry a green plantain. Yet all too often, they’re too big, too thickly sliced, not ripe enough.

At Doral’s Las Mercedes Restaurant, the succulent, fat-rippled slabs served Thursday through Saturday speak for themselves. At most, there’s a dusting of salt and pepper, perhaps accompanied by a splash of mojo. Racks of beef and pork are pulled from a smoking vessel, then cleaved and served with two sides such as moros, maduros, or […]

In a city with more Cuban eateries than McDonald’s — it’s no small feat to be named Miami’s best. But Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine took the 2013 title for their fresh tostones ($3.50), creole-sauce smothered camarones enchilados ($17.95) and savory chimichurri sauce-topped churrasco steak ($17.95). So if you’re lacking a Cuban grandmother of your own, […]
