"A pocket-sized restaurant on a happening block in Hapeville, the family-owned Mami’s is humble, efficient, and inexpensive. In true Cuban form, the owner will tell you where to sit, what to order, and if you’re not fast enough, will move on to the next table before you can finish your sentence. This place is cramped and chaotic, but one quick visit will have diners hooked. Stop in on your way to or from the airport and get there before the lunch crowd. Pair a heaping plate of rice, beans, and tostones with an Ironbeer, Cuba’s official soda, which originated over 100 years ago. Mami’s is closed on weekends." - Allison Ramirez
