Anyone who’s visited South Beach has, at the very least, walked past Mango’s Tropical Cafe, famed for its exotic tropical atmosphere and lively dance shows that feature Cuban conga, Brazilian samba, and other Latin styles.

Andres Barrientos and James Bowers started Miami Smokers in a few coolers while working at a catering company. The goal? To make better bacon. Soon the business moved into Bowers’ Coconut Grove apartment, where they produced mounds of the smoky, salty stuff that made its way to biergartens and pop-up brunches. Now, a dedicated space […]
Molina’s is the real deal for Cuban food in Miami. Here, the food is hot, the batidos are cold, and the cafecitos have the perfect amount of espumita on top.

This Morro, which is not to be confused with the other Morro on Seventh Street, fries its shoestring potatoes to-order for its version of a frita Cubana.

There are few restaurants in this world that offer food so good, you’re willing to eat it standing up. Papo Llega y Pon is one of those places. More of a wraparound sandwich counter than an actual restaurant, it’s worth checking out no matter how far you live from the Allapattah landmark. A constant flow […]

Puerto Sagua has been a South Beach staple since 1962, timelessly serving timeless Cuban comfort food without the frills.

Cuban bakeries in Miami are a dime a dozen, and pastelitos and cafecitos, a penny per. But Ricky Bakery’s homemade baked goods are so authentic they’ll impress even the most discerning abuelita. Try one of their homemade croquetas (a New Times Best Of winner) with fillings like bacalao, spinach, chicken, cheese, or ham. Their Coral […]
Looking for an authentic Cuban restaurant? There are only two streets in Miami to consider: Calle Ocho and Bird Road.
