As a “quick casual” restaurant (a genre that combines fast-food speed and service with higher quality food), Atlanta-based Moe’s is a step up the food chain from most franchised eateries. It’s far from being the best Mexican-inspired quick-casual place in these parts; both Baja Fresh and Lime Fresh have fresher tortillas, more zingy salsas, and […]
The shelves are stocked to the gills with import market goods from South America, the display cases stuffed with assertively colored desserts of every stripe, and the countertop piled with sandwiches of varying shapes. Specialties of the house – other than the steamy espressos poured all day – are empanadas modeled after those from Argentina, […]

Mojo’s success can be credited to the doughnuts, which have made the shop a raging success since it debuted in December 2016. More than three dozen varieties are lightly fried and then garnished with sprinkles, creams, or chocolate. Flavors include Nutella bacon, banana cream pie, and salted caramel cheesecake. Don’t leave without a bite of […]
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. A quarter-chicken with plantains, fluffy rice, and hearty black beans is affordable, as is the picadillo, the ground-beef brilliance you must eat to get the […]
If you ever want to nerd out on bivalves, head to Market at Momi. “Oysters should be eaten within two minutes of being shucked,” says owner and ramen whiz Jeffrey Chen. “After two minutes, bacteria from the air infiltrates the oyster, and it’s not the same.” You know Chen. Around the corner at Momi Ramen, […]
If Momi Ramen were a house of worship, its altar would be the slab of pork belly atop the noodle house’s communal wooden table. In this Brickell kitchen, massive kettles of tonkotsu broth – a silky, opaque liquid made with pork bones and gleaming globs of fat – bubble away and simmer for hours. They […]
It might sound like the name of an Atari videogame hero, but the namesake stew at Mondongo’s is a serious meal. Twelve bucks gets you a massive bowl of pork, potatoes, and peppers, with sides of rice and arepas. With its two Medellan restaurants doing booming business, Mondongo’s has exported its popular paisa cuisine to […]

Monterrey Bar is a tribute to The Standard Spa, Miami Beach’s namesake roots as the Monterrey Motel that originally opened at 40 Island Avenue in 1953 and designed by architect Norman Giller. Today, the intimate bar celebrates unique twists on classic cocktails like the Monterrey G&T, a butterfly pea-steeped gin paired with elderflower tonic, a […]
Because little English is spoken at either branch of this pizzeria, it’s hard for an Anglo to get an explanation of what makes the place’s specialty, Cuban pizza, different from other pizzas. But basically it’s the crust, which is thicker than those of Neapolitan, Roman, New York, or designer pizzas but differs from similarly thick […]
You haven’t lived in Miami until you’ve spent an afternoon sucking down a cocktail while gazing at a cotton-candy sunset at Monty’s. The Coconut Grove institution has seen a half-century of Miamians flock to the dockside restaurant for happy hour and tropical vistas. But no trip to Monty’s is complete without a round of “Pain […]
Monty’s has been an institution in the 305 for as long as most locals can remember. It once dominated the chi-chi restaurant scene but then lost its luster after real gourmands moved to town. This is not to say dinner at Monty’s is akin to eating at Applebee’s, but it’s pretty close and definitely more […]
Miami Shores has a tradition of dropping marshmallows from the sky into a field for kids to pick up at Easter. What does that have to do with ice cream? Mooie’s owner, Sean Saladino, says he got the idea to open an ice-cream shop after going to the marshmallow drop and realizing how many children […]
Located across the street from the University of Miami campus, Moon Thai offers a casual atmosphere and a relief from the crowded restaurants of nearby Coconut Grove.
