The 19 Best Restaurants In Little Havana - Miami - The Infatuation

"This Calle Ocho classic feels like a Disney pavilion. There are stained glass windows, a low wooden ceiling, mounted trophy animals, and a running waterfall by the entrance. Servers are dressed in red traje corto outfits and a wandering troupe of guitarists serenade guests as they eat gambas al ajillo. But this is a locals spot, not a tourist trap. The paellas are delicious, the crema catalana is the best in Miami, and the servers have been working here since the ‘80s. It’s a great option for big groups and events. And even though the food is a bit pricier than other Spanish restaurants around town, it’s honed with the kind of precision that comes after four successful decades of wedding rehearsals (and subsequent anniversary dinners)." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
