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.

Cuban fast-food made with love and soul. Rey's has some of the best fritas, batidos, and fresh juices in the entire city. A "Frita"—or a traditional Cuban hamburger—is made from a mix of seasoned ground beef and chorizo, covered in onions and potato sticks and served on Cuban bread. Mix and match ingredients to add a unique twist to your burger. My personal favorite is the "Caballo" which simply adds a fried egg and a hint of hot sauce. Their menu consists of other great sandwiches, including the "Pan Con Bistec" (heralded as one of Miami's best) as well as the "Croqueta Preparada".
