18 Iconic Hispanic Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation
"After New York and Boston, Miami is home to the third largest population of Dominicans in the United States. The neighborhood of Allapattah, also known as Little Santo Domingo, has been a hub for the community since the 1960s. You’ll find nods to the old country at places such as Juan Pablo Duarte Park, named after one of the Dominican Republic’s founding fathers. But the most famous Dominican restaurant is this lively spot, which opened in 1985. Here, you can eat traditional foods such as chivo and mangu during lunch, and then dance salsa, merengue, and bachata late at night. Tapped as the next hot neighborhood with developers and the likes of Leku, Rubell Museum, and Superblue moving in, the area is changing rapidly, which could lead to the displacement of local residents to other parts of the city." - mandy baca
