1. BEST CAFÉ CON LECHE: Versailles on Little Havana, while there try the warm cheese and guava pastry, so addictive! (had 3 non-stop, who cares about summer coming up)
2. BEST MEXICAN: new Rosa Mexicano in posh Brickell area, yes its a scene- avoid it during happy hour- but must try the chicken flautas and tortilla soup, órale!
3. BEST VENEZUELAN BREAKFAST: tiny European Bakery on Sunset Blvd...the best desayuno criollo in town (black beans, eggs, shredded cheese and hand made arepa)
4. BEST NON-STOP HARASSING MEAT FEAST: Porçao on Brickell area...don't go if you have heart problems, on a diet or can't take a 3 hour rodizio meal, ask for the picanha, best Brazilian meat.
5. BEST CUBAN SANDWICH: Sergio's on Coral Way...they called it “vaca frita” (fried cow) so yummy and comes with homemade yuca sticks.
6. BEST BURGER: Houston's on Aventura (humongous size, need a bigger mouth just to eat it, yep i ate it all!
7. BEST JUICES: El Palacio de la Fruta on Little Havana....so cheesy, so local, so juicy....try the papaya all natural juice or take home the 1QT exotic fruit salad, una bomba!
8. BEST DINER: yes, we love Jimmy's, so cheap and mix of clientele: policemen, travesties, senior citizens, old-style families, secret lovers, love it! Try the 3 layer banana pancake..hmmm hmmm
9. BEST EDAMAME EVER: Domo Japones on Miami Design District..yes, it's hip and NY pretentious but believe us... the best sauté black edamame with sweet soy and yuzu...
10. BEST BEAR HANGOUT: The Abbey on Miami Beach....a joint, ask for the local organic brewery ones...don't tell “tourists” though, will spoil it and bring white lounge sofas and house music.
**ta-ta! or Miami Cuban slang “ya tu sabes”....
Thanks to my sister's big belly sponsorship*
Note: I know that this picture has nothing to do with the TOP-10... except that it was taken long time ago in Miami... but I wanted to use it anyway.
;)
yummy!
Thanks Alex!
