Destination

 

South Beach in Miami is known for the culinary delights of authentic Cuban food as much of its population hails from Cuba. Once you get there, it’s easy to get lost in the options so here are the top spots to check out when you’re in the area.

 

Manolos Restaurant

Does the thought of churros make your mouth water? Manalos Restaurant is the place to go to get one of the best and most unique churros. Their churros rellenos come filled with either chocolate, dulce de leche or crème pastelera and they are as amazing as they sound. Good luck eating just one.
Bolivar Restaurant

In this lounge-style spot you’ll feel the Caribbean culture in the ambiance, the food and in their specialty drink — Columbian Aguila beer paired with cream colombiana refajo soda. It’s a popular Columbian drink known to cure hangovers, but equally delicious and refreshing completely sober.

 

Larios On The Beach

Not only is it known for being owned by Gloria Estefan, but its beef ropa vieja, plantain chips and garlic mojo sauce is a major touchdown on the taste buds. It’s on the pricier end, but even if you just order this dish at the bar, it will be worth the money.
