signman Posted November 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You can't go wrong at Puerto Sagua on Collins Ave at 7th in South Beach. Here's some reviews. http://www.yelp.com/biz/SRRI61ud20RWX5mAJ-UiuQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted November 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Along with the above suggestions, David's II for the lunch buffet on the corner of Lincoln Road Mall and Meridian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb415 Posted November 13, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You can't go wrong at Puerto Sagua on Collins Ave at 7th in South Beach. Here's some reviews. http://www.yelp.com/biz/SRRI61ud20RWX5mAJ-UiuQ Puerto Sagua is my favorite in Miami Beach. The outlets of Versailles and La Carreta are good in Miami Airport if you're not able to visit their other locations or you're stuck at MIA.

Sam D. Posted November 13, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Are any of these near the Intercontinental? We will be there in about a week and are looking forward to Cuban food or if there is something we should try that's near our hotel.

Sam D. Posted November 14, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2007 The concierge at the Intercontinental recommended Bongo's for within walking distance. In Little Havana he recom. Versailles and in South Beach, either Yucca or Lario's. Has anyone tried the first one or the last one? Thanks, Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted November 14, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2007 If you can't make it to Little Havana and you need something conveniant then Bongo's would be ok, not the best that Miami has to offer, but ok.... 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakapfet Posted November 14, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Besides cuban restaurants in Miami, any Jamaican or Haitian restaurants anyone can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ang in Miami Posted November 15, 2007 #14 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Downtown Miami, and certainly within walking distance from the Bayside area during the day time, has a number of authentic Cuban and Columbian restaurants. Many of them are just little "holes in the wall" or somewhat hidden with names like "Emily's" or "Cacique" or just "Cafe", but some of the best Cuban food I've had has come from some of those little "ma and pop" places and the prices are surprisingly cheap too. Often for $7.00 I can get a lunch plate which lasts me for two days! And breakfast...a FULL breakfast for under $3.00. Shopping downtown in the small shops (not Macy's) also brings bargains like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcielago Posted November 15, 2007 #15 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Bongos or Larios are both good. Try the palomilla steak with black beans and white rice. You can also try some Masas de puerco asado with moros and sweet fried plantains. Don't forget to try a Mojito. Larios make a very good mojito.
