tab1220 Posted November 9, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Dh and I will be in Miami in December and are wanting some really good Cuban food. We'll be staying at the Epic in DT Miami. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted November 9, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2010 There are quite a few in Downtown within walking distance, but your best bet is to take a taxi to Little Havana on Calle Ocho (SW 8th St), just 5-10 minutes from the hotel. Here are some places, and you can also look them up on Yelp to see the ratings: Tinta y Cafe El Pub Exquisito Cafeteria Arahi's Bakery You could also go to Bongo's located at the back of the American Airlines Arena (AAA) at the entrance to the Port of Miami. It is owned by Gloria Estefan, as well as Lario's on Ocean Drive on South Beach (but, you will pay South Beach prices). Go for the true mom & pop experience, and go to Little Havana.

tab1220 Posted November 9, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks so much! Can't wait to try this out! Definately not looking to pay SB prices! Besides, mom and pop shops are the greatest! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricflyer Posted November 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yelp at: www.yelp.com is a web site that has reviews of anything to do with travel in any city of decent size. It could be suggestions or reviews of resturants, hotels, spas, shopping etc, you name it. Keep in mind that the reviews are just like this forum and you can get good or bad advice so it's up to you to make a judgement call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gathina Posted November 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Versaille is ok, but I would HIGHLy suggest "Jambo"..it's Nicaraguan..in that same area...and even better than Cuban food! Plus they make their own juices right in front of you and portions large enough to feed 3. No kidding..it's a jewel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
