The Most Classic Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Pinolandia is an icon in Miami's rich fritanga scene. The Little Havana location is open 24 hours a day (useful information when you’re leaving Space) and so is the adjacent Nicaraguan bodega. The best thing to get here is the carne asada, which is also the reason why the place constantly smells like flame-licked beef marinated in naranja agría. You’ll also want to grab a slice or two of queso frito, which is thick, squeaky, and really creamy. Like almost all fritangas in Miami, you can’t say you’ve been there without ordering a traditional Nicaraguan drink. We like the cacao, our favorite version of chocolate milk made with ground cacao seeds." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
