"You could say La Camaronera is the epitome of the American dream. Three of the Garcia brothers, from the same family that runs Downtown’s famous Garcia’s Seafood, came to Miami from Cuba in the 1960s and opened this spot as a quick stand for fried seafood in 1973. Since then, not much has changed, including their most popular dish, the pan con minuta—famously served with the tail intact. They also have a small market inside the restaurant where you can buy local fish and spiny lobster at market prices." - mandy baca
