Los Félix

The food community makes a lot of noise about heritage and honoring lost Indigenous pathways. Los Félix does something about it. Dedicated to the Mexican-born Milpa agriculture – a system in which heirloom corn is interplanted with other crops, such as squash and beans, in order to share resources – Los Félix uses those ingredients […]

Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann

Within the luxurious confines of the Faena Hotel, orange flames lick a multifunctional grill designed and built in Texas. Oak and charcoal fuel the plancha, parrilla, and smoker. It’s also the source of scalding ash for rescoldo, a process in which vegetables are gently roasted in the fire’s refuse. There’s also an open pit where […]

Los Gallegos

The most authentic Spanish omelet in Miami, surely. This modest restaurant also features other fine Iberian fare, from snapper in green sauce to paella. The menu doesn’t vary, so what you see is what you get – every day. As for desserts, there is flan or natilla in standard recipes.

Los Magueye

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). Vegetarians can substitute spinach for the chicken and top the whole thing off with sliced avocados. […]

Los Perros

This Colombian hole in the wall knows that in the middle of the night, when the alcohol has run dry or the munchies kick in, people don’t mind paying South Beach prices for a hot dog, potatoes, and a Coke, even if they are in West Dade. That’s not to say Los Perros doesn’t earn […]

Los Pinareos Fruteria

When the nostalgia thermometer of a Cuban exile registers a dangerously high level, it usually signifies the person is in a state of hallucinatory shock known as “acaba de llegar.” Symptoms include calling all friends socios, having a packed bag that weighs exactly 44 pounds sitting next to the door, and frequently waving a ration […]

Lost Boy Dry Goods

Forget the molecular mixology madness – Lost Boy Dry Goods brings drinking back to earth with brick walls, chill vibes, and zero pretension. Brought to you by Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso (cf. Fox’s Lounge, https://www.miaminewtimes.com/location/tropezon-16468887 , and, most recently, Brother’s Keeper) this bar inside the historic Alfred I. duPont Building downtown offers a cocktail […]

Lost City Brewing Company

Lost City Brewing, which opened in the summer of 2020 amid the pandemic, feels like a rare find amid Miami’s burgeoning beer landscape. The taproom is located in a warehouse complex, which suits its industrial setting. Inside, you’ll find a small bar and a comfortable lounge with leather sofas. The beers are straightforward and well-crafted […]

Lost Weekend

Step off Collins Avenue and into Lost Weekend, and you might forget you’re smack in the center of South Beach. The bar is named for John Lennon’s affair with his and Yoko Ono’s assistant, May Pang – a “lost weekend” that lasted 18 months. The bar offers cocktails, craft beers – and cheesesteaks. For those […]

Lots of Lox Deli

Like a parable, it’s as if a thunderous voice from above spoke to a lost (and most likely hungry) tribe wandering in the brash wilderness of south Miami-Dade and said: “You must build a restaurant, serve the food of your people there, and make it extra tasty!” Because at Lots of Lox it’s all there: […]

Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique

It’s easy to turn a blind eye to those Miamians who are struggling a bit more than the rest of us. But helping others is good for the soul, so get out of your brand-new condo and put some effort into helping those in need. After all, Miami isn’t exactly known as a charitable city, […]
