There is relief from the seemingly endless rows of Kendall chain restaurants. Find it at the Brick in Downtown Dadeland. More specific, find it in the sparse restaurant’s porchetta sandwich. The hub is a glossy spear of roast pork belly wrapped around a tender slug of herbed loin. Pickled onion and arugula offer a spicy, […]

The Butcher Shop serves one of Miami-Dade’s best pan con lechón sandwiches, served on Cuban rolls baked daily. They create a sandwich that, when pressed, crisps into an impossibly thin crust, akin in texture to the Indian lentil crackers called papadum. The interior holds its juice, propped up by a shot of doctored mojo sauce […]
This Italian throwback looks like a roadside stop for the likes of Mom and Pop Walton making their way from the sinful Miami to a kitschy Keys resort.

The interior is designed to look like, well, a casa vieja. The […]
Since it opened in 1987, this “Little House of Texas” has not stopped serving heaping portions of Tex-Mex fare. Starters include the Americanized pleasers you might expect at Señor Frog’s but here are prepared with more aplomb – and more chilies. A fiesta sampler of a quesadilla, flauta, tamal, and taco with beans, guacamole, sour […]

There’s not a lot to say about the Cheesecake Factory that every American doesn’t already know. The longest menu in creation. Cheesecakes in every incarnation. Epically caloric pasta dishes. The usual. But after a long day of fighting crowds and spending cash at Dadeland Mall – a respite at this popular chain is more than […]
