Most of the dishes at Casa Paco are as reasonably priced as they are delicious. Examples are the paella – chicken and rice or rice with seafood – and special house chicken, a tender half-boneless grilled bird smothered with onions, lime juice, butter, and pepper served with white rice and fried sweet plantains. Several kinds […]
Now in its 41st year, Eddie’s Place was named after owner Wanda’s late husband, who co-owned the bar. A semi-modern-day Cheers whose patrons seem really attached to the place, the no-frills pub has played host over the years to four weddings and at least one funeral. “Everybody knows everybody else’s business, and what they don’t […]
The name translates to Juice Palace, and that’s exactly what this chain is: a topnotch spot for fresh, natural juices. That, and so much more. The open-air restaurant is composed of three main areas: a juice bar, a sandwich counter, and a large hot-food section that offers great Cuban food as individual meals or by […]

The huge cornmeal-crusted empanadas at this little luncheonette/minimarket come with a variety of fillings, most unique to Venezuela (like the national specialty pabellon, shredded beef similar in texture to ropa vieja but with a more sweet/sour taste). Skip the fishy cazon (shark) model for the signature crema, filled with chicken, bacon, and farmer cheese. But […]
Lung Gong looks like any other strip-mall Chinese restaurant, but the sweeping breadth and awesome authenticity of the menu sets it apart from the masses. A yellow menu offers Cantonese standards, but the one whose pages are sky blue is a compilation of foods you won’t find elsewhere. Main courses are just as intriguing, none […]

Oh, it’s a hippie paradise in Tamiami! Mostly inhabited by students from nearby Florida International University, SpecialTEA boasts it is the “only tea house in Miami!” which is probably true. Miamians aren’t known for being huge tea drinkers. The funny thing is that SpecialTEA’s menu actually offers more coffee selections than tea beverages. But tree-hugging […]
Shooting inanimate targets is the best use of any firearm, in our humble opinion. And at the Trail Glades Gun Range, there are a whole host of options for sport shooters to fire away. They’ve got ranges in a whole host of lengths for pistols, rifles and the like – plus six trap-and-skeet fields. They […]
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, and that is particularly true for Tuto’s Place. Forget the funky d
