Jefe’s Soul Shack

Jefe’s Original Fish Taco & Burgers is nothing new to Miami. The yellow-and-orange surfer-themed truck that features “vatos making tacos” has been on the scene since 2010.

Six tables with four seats around each form the “deli” part of Jerusalem, along with a counter behind which the Middle Eastern specialties get prepared. The d

Jimmy’s Eastside Diner

Jimmy’s Eastside Diner has the casual, been-there-forever feel of a neighborhood hangout. The green-and-brown color scheme is oddly appealing, and the place looks bright and friendly – diner ambiance minus any dinginess.

King of Diamonds

They say the expression “make it rain” originated at King of Diamonds, ‘cuz this spot has seen more showers than the Amazon rainforest.

King Palace Chinese BBQ
