Bobby’s Meals is home to an igneous brew of vinegar and chili called escovitch that’s slathered over plump, flaky fillets. Like the vegetarian Ital plates, the fish comes alongside a mound of fragrant basmati rice studded with tender red beans. There are stewed peas: kidney and black beans, along with tight, smooth pigeon peas cooked […]
Capt. Crab’s Take-Away is not a Long John Silver’s wannabe. Rather, it’s what Long John Silver’s wants to be: a place that serves fresh, affordable, and delicious seafood piping-hot from a drive-thru window. Fish sandwiches come grilled or fried, and the battered conch fritters are large and divine. But the most heavenly dish at this […]

Just off Miami Gardens Drive, inside a generic shopping center anchored by a Publix, you will find a golden opportunity to savor deliciously prepared Nicaraguan cuisine. A typical fritanga, La Hormiga de Oro offers cantina-style Nica dishes at moderate prices for dining in or taking out. Six dollars and 50 cents brings charbroiled steak and […]
Sure, there’s a serious lack of air conditioning, and random dancehall concert posters adorn the walls. But L.C. Roti is the spot for the softest, freshest, and yummiest roti in North Dade. Located in a Caribbean-centric strip mall off State Road 441 in Miami Gardens, the place regularly boasts a dinnertime line of customers waiting […]
This Hialeah-Miami Lakes hole-in-the-wall is hard to find but well worth the mission if only to try the enchiladas poblanas, which include exotic, spicy mole slathered onto three corn tortillas stuffed with chicken and crowned with Mexican cheese ($12.99).
