Miami-Dade - Central in Miami New Times
Showing 1805 - 1826 of 2020If tacos – somewhat shaped like mouths – could talk, there would be an argument of such epic proportions that every Mexican restaurant would be forced to give out free earplugs. The (marinated) beef would be between the Tex-Mex version of fast-food chains and the simple, authentic, ungarnished magic offered at a place such as […]
From its red- and green-striped exterior to the colorful rooster sculpture that stands outside the door, Taquerias El Mexicano has the feel of a Mexican tienda. Pinatas hang from the ceiling, and rows of Mexican spices for sale grace the wall behind the counter. Service is a little slow at times. If you visit during […]
Tarpon’s 200-seat room offers a limited raw bar – three varieties of oyster, stone crabs and inventive ceviches. Warm appetizers are appealing, none more so than middleneck clams (from Florida’s west coast) pan-roasted in a spicy white wine and tomato broth, with grilled triangular toasts for sopping up the garlic-and-herb-pepped liquid.

Expect grade-A pub grub from on-site Cuban Filipino pop-up […]
There’s pleasant bumping and grinding as you inch your way to the bar and your next frosty one. There are darts, a pool table, and a couple of videogames, but the entertainment is mostly supplied by a jukebox laden with hard rock. They occasionally slip in a little hip-hop. That’s what they’re listening to at […]
At Ted’s, it’s like you’re in on a well-kept secret. Throughout the week, an array of artists, some of them alums of the YoungArts Foundation, take the stage inside the intimate seventh-floor space to do what they do best. There was long a plan to convert what was once the cafeteria of the iconic Bacardi […]
There’s good reason why the humble codfish is so prevalent at Teixeira Portugal: The history of Portuguese cuisine, which is represented in Miami in only a handful of restaurants, is filled with off-white fillets of the ubiquitous catch. The heartiness and seemingly endless shelf life of the salted, preserved fish that became the fuel for […]
