Thank you for the suggestions. We really appreciate it.

 

How about any ideas on a "soul food" and/or "cuban"establishment? We are staying 3 days precruise and want to have variety.

 

Thanks again.

 

For Cuban, try LaCaretta its a local Cuban Charin restaurant..see if there is one near your hotel. If not then go for Versailles in Little Havana.

 

Instead of soul food try something a bit different give Tap Tap in Miami Beach a try for good Haitian food.

The most famous are Versailles (Cuban) in Miami and Don Arturo (Cuban) in Fort Lauderdale. I like Las Vegas Cuban in Fort Lauderdale.

 

For soul food in Fort Lauderdale: Betty's Soul Food and Tom Jenkins' Barbeque

Las Vegas is a South Florida chain and is quite good.

Joe's Smokehouse on Oakland Park Boulveard in Fort Lauderdale close to Dixie. True soul food..collard greens, hot water cornbread, peach cobbler, mac n cheese, ham hocks, ribs, chicken, sweet potato pie..love that place..I swear you can see the smoke from the highway a mile away

 

Spicy: If you want to try some real authentic Central American food, just up the place from Joe's is La Molienda..it's a Salvadorian restaurant and have other Central American foods..some spice, some not so. Homemade tortillas, homemade salsa, homemade Batidas, and a whole host of meat and fish dishes. It's always very crowded with locals from that region of the world, and they do speak English there. Love their seafood stew..it's like $15 a bowl..which is more like a caldron for two people..with a ton of different fresh fish. They also make their beans and rice from scratch too.
