At El Floridita Sea Food restaurant, the friendly, hospitable servers will greet you with fish dip, crackers and a smile. But beware their attempts to woo you with filler – you’ll need lots of room for what’s ahead at this Kendall seafood spot. Start with the frituras de bacalao (cod fritters, $4 for 6). Then, […]
Peru knows its way around seafood. And whether it’s fresh, lime-marinated whitefish ceviche or spicy shrimp chowder, their cuisine definitely does justice to the bounty of the seas. Kendall’s El Meson del Paraiso serves up Peruvian classics like ceviche de pescado (fish ceviche), lomo salteado (stir-fried sirloin with hot chilies and fries), choros a la […]
Although the menu boasts a variety of Peruvian dishes, the star at El Pollon Grill is the chicken. Prepared rotisserie-style, it’s juicy and tender with a crisp brown skin. Order it with a side of French fries and salsa huanca
If you still haven’t checked out this hole in the wall, you are seriously missing out. Renowned among those in the know, this Cuban fast-food joint makes some of the best sandwiches, milkshakes, and fresh juices in the entire county. Not only is the food great and the service excellent, but the prices are ridiculously […]
Miami’s Mexican options offer a little too much Chipotle and Taco Bell, and not quite enough homemade guac and corn tortillas. But head towards Homestead, and there’s a plethora of south of the border favorites that are better than the fast food standbys.

The only thing better than the bean dip – a large bowl of equal parts refried beans and melted Mexican white cheese zinged up with a mild blend of spices with unlimited baskets of tortilla chips – is this authentic, family-owned restaurant’s attitude toward BYOB. Walk in with a six-pack of Corona, and the waitstaff […]
Ernesto’s Taco Shop is an authentic, locally owned Mexican fast-food joint with a menu filled with rare dishes such as tortas (Mexican sandwiches), menudo (cow stomach lining, available Saturday and Sunday), and tacos de lengua (beef tongue). Your favorite meals from late-night Taco Bell runs are here too, just much better: burritos, enchiladas, and chimichangas […]

You might wonder if a gator farm is necessary in South Florida, where the scaly critters inhabit people’s backyards, swimming pools and garages. But the Everglades Alligator Farm — the oldest of its kind in the area — is special. More than a farm, this Homestead attraction is actually an adventure park. Here you can […]

Everyone knows a turn at karaoke requires more than a little liquid lubrication. Luckily, the Fat Monkey Bar gets you all boozed up with frozen daquiris, beer and champagne galore before you take to the stage for a butchered rendition of “Don’t Stop Believing.” This Homestead outpost is big on the drink specials; ladies even […]

There are a few types of restaurants that are virtually impossible to find in Miami-Dade County, including (1) a Chinese restaurant featuring a tank filled with swimming seafood that diners can eat, not just watch, and (2) any place with genuine fried Ipswich clams. Sadly, real New England fried clams are not to be found […]
Like the West Coast’s renowned family-owned In-N-Out Burger chain, East Coast eatery Five Guys (whose original family-owned restaurant opened in 1986, nearly 40 years after I-N-O) has retro 1950s décor and serves a limited specialized menu centering on hand-formed fresh – never frozen – burgers, and fries made from fresh potatoes. But there are differences, […]
