Few diners can resist this casual, traditional Peruvian eatery’s jalea mixta, a platter of lightly battered fried seafood and yuca garnished with a crunchy chili-and-lime-marinated onion-and-pepper topping that beautifully balances the dish’s grease component. One order is a meal for two, but if four split it as a starter, they could sample some of the […]
The atmosphere at this Latin American seafood restaurant is pretty dull. Servers seem listless, and there isn’t much effort on their part to establish a rapport with customers. But the dining area is ample and can easily accommodate large parties. And the prices are friendlier than the servers: There are 12 seafood entrées that cost […]
Sure, El Mago de las Fritas dispenses diner-like fare from its old-school cafeteria-esque dining room. But you’re not here for just any dish. You’re here for the Cuban hamburgers, AKA fritas.

When you tell your guests they simply must try the house specialty, rotisserie chicken, there is no need to mention that a quarter-bird, with potatoes and salad, is cheap.

Siblings Eileen and Jonathan Andrade descend from Miami dining royalty. Their grandparents founded Islas Canarias, the shrine of Cuban comfort food revered for its croquetas.

Despite the kitschy mounted fish, beer koozies strung about like garland, and a jukebox that always seems to be playing the Chemical Brothers, it’s hard to hate a restaurant that serves something called a Joe’s Meal Deal: a full rack of award-winning baby-back ribs, caesar salad, choice of side, three garlic rolls, and soda, all […]
