Little Havana
Little Havana is widely viewed as Miami’s cultural epicenter. Home to both Cuban exiles and transplants from Central and South America, the neighborhood vibrates with natural energy. Located just west of Downtown Miami and Brickell, this bustling barrio offers an escape from the more expected parts of town, providing an unapologetically authentic taste of Miami. Along Southwest 8th Street, visitors will find a number of historical landmarks, cigar shops, storefronts, and—most importantly—restaurants serving Café Cubano.

This simple, family-style restaurant offers an enormous selection of traditional Cuban dishes. Every Cuban dish imaginable is on the menu. Arrive before 11:00am and enjoy the best Cuban breakfast in the area. For lunch or dinner, try the "Vaca Frita De Pollo"—a garlic-marinated chicken breast, fried and pulled over moros and sweet plantains. Portions are sizable so be prepared to share or take home leftovers for the following day. Like all cuban meals, be sure to finish it off with a Café Cubano. Sit outside and catch the hustle of the locals.
