WHY GO Miami is all about Latin flavor, especially when it comes to cuisine. Lee Klein, food critic for the Miami New Times newspaper, shares some of his favorite Latin American eateries in Little Havana and beyond, plus offbeat hideaways and culinary gems in his own bohemian neighborhood, Miami Beach.


While you get ready to jump in and explore Miamis toothsome side, be prepared to speak un poquito espaol (a little Spanish). Or just smile, point politely and ask por favor, quiero esto (Id like, please). But dont let any language barriers get in the way of your mission: to try the most authentic Latin tastes Miami has to offer. Miami has always been strong on ethnic holes-in-the-wall, Klein opines. Cuban, Haitian, Central American, South American the list goes on and on. Many Latin American eateries stay open after midnight, too convenient in a city where la vida nocturna is key.

For a first taste of Miamis melting pot, head out to Picture 2El Palacio de Los Jugos. This open-air marketplace, with food stands like youd find all over Latin America, is at the intersection of where Havana and Miami shake hands. Klein recommends: Walk over to where the guy is whacking the tops off of coconuts for fresh juices. Buy a plate of pork asada with fried plantains, black beans and rice, and devour it on a bench in the corner while you watch all the activity going on. As for the juices, you can experiment with more exotic flavors like melon, mamey or guarapo (pressed sugarcane).

Picture 3Little Havana is Miamis best-known Cuban community. Picture 4Calle Ocho (aka SW 8th St) doesnt just cut through the heart of the neighborhood it is the heart of the neighborhood. Its not commercial. Its not a tourist attraction, Klein points out. This is where youll see old Cuban men smoking cigars and playing chess. Thats especially true in Picture 5Mximo Gmez Park, named for a late-19th-century Cuban independence fighter. Another Little Havana landmark is Picture 6Versailles restaurant, where politicians (even US presidents) drop by to take the pulse of the community. When something important happens, Klein says, this is where Cuban Americans go to debate and discuss it. Order a caf Cubano (nicknamed a cafecito), sweetened espresso brewed with sugar, at the walk-up window.

Dont stop your explorations of Little Havana yet Klein gives us a great tip - photo 7

Dont stop your explorations of Little Havana yet. Klein gives us a great tip: At almost any Cuban supermarket, he reveals, they sell great authentic Cuban food to go. Pick up roast chicken, vaca frita (crispy beef) or churrasco (grilled meat kabobs) at Picture 8El Nuevo Siglo. Get there early in the day before they run out of anything, then scarf it down at the basic counter seats and tables. Kleins pick for Cuban fast food is nearby: 48 Hours in Miami - image 9El Rey de Las Fritas. I love their pork burgers with sauted onions, loads of seasonings and potato sticks on top, he says.

To see where all those fresh fruit and veggies on Miami restaurants top tables come from, drive out to Redland, where organic farms and vineyards rub sun-kissed shoulders. Book ahead for a chef-prepared Dinner in Paradise (www.paradisefarms.net). In Homestead, stop by the long-running farm stand Robert Is Here (www.robertishere.com) for a strawberry milkshake. This agricultural region, an hours drive southwest of Miami Beach, has authentic Mexican food, too try out some of those roadside taco trucks.


Off Little Havanas main drag, Picture 11Salmon & Salmon proves that, even in this Cuban community, other Latin American groups have their own lively gathering spots. Klein recommends this Peruvian hole-in-the-wall for authentic seafood, like ceviche mixto (raw seafood marinated in citrus juices usually with chiles, garlic, onion and cilantro). The small storefront dining room is always packed with locals, so expect a wait for a table.

Likewise, Cuban comfort food isnt limited to Little Havana. Drive south to Picture 12Coral Gables, a wealthy Mediterranean-style enclave, to find another one of Kleins picks: Picture 13Sergios. This retro-licious restaurant plates up Cuban comfort food just like mama used to make at airy outdoor tables, or swing inside and sink into a booth. Then spend the afternoon strolling around town, to walk off everything youve feasted on so far. Dont miss seeing Coral Gables lavish Picture 14Biltmore Hotel, a splendid Jazz Age survivor, and the spring-fed Picture 15Venetian Pool, a wonderland of cascading waterfalls and coral-rock grottos.

Just across the river from Little Havana, Picture 16Garcias Seafood Grille & Fish Market is like pirates hidden treasure. Here you can sit overlooking an undeveloped stretch of the Miami River, Klein says. Yes, its seedy and ramshackle, but in a cinematic way. They used to film Miami Vice here, he amusingly adds. Dont let the simple ambience of Garcias downstairs fish market deter you. Climb the narrow stairway up to the classy bar and grill sporting a riverside deck, where some of Miamis movers and shakers fork into conch steaks and grouper fillets and wolf down dolphinfish (mahimahi) sandwiches.

At long last, Miami Beach. Youve already been fantasizing about dreamy Picture 17South Beach, right? Part beach bum, part A-list glamour girl, SoBe is where the carnivalesque action never stops. You cant ignore the beach, Klein, a neighborhood denizen, admits. Especially not topless Haulover Beach. Chic outdoor cafs and restaurants line Ocean Dr, but for upscale plates, pick standard-bearing Picture 18
