"You expect to find certain things in Hialeah, but an adorable French bistro is not one of them. And yet, La Fresa makes so much sense to anyone who grew up in Miami. The cluttered dining rooms feel like a multi-abuela design collaboration, and while the really good food is mostly straightforward takes on classic bistro dishes, La Fresa’s location in one of Miami’s most Cuban neighborhoods does come through with a few wonderful moments of guava. One such case, the pastelito de foie gras and guayaba, is the most brilliantly Miami thing we’ve ever eaten. This is the kind of place you will sorely miss if you ever move to another city.
