The fried items were especially good--crispy on the outside and tender inside, without feeling greasy. The service was quick and straightforward. Even when it was busy, the staff kept things moving and were helpful when ordering, especially for someone visiting for the first time. The place has a casual, no-frills market-style vibe, which actually fits the concept well. It's more about the food than anything fancy, and the quality definitely stands out. Overall, a solid spot in Miami for fresh seafood done right. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.

I was a little surprised that the dalgona is not a toffeey creamy top, but rather crunch sweet honeycomb pieces on top. With the dome cup it's a bit difficult to reach the pieces, which soon dissolve into the coffee, a bit of pity. The coffee itself was delicious, and there are lemonades and other drinks on their menu. They also sell hotteoks, a type of pancakes that is a popular street food in Korea. They offer it both sweet with nuts and sugar, and savory with cheese and peanut butter. Perfect for a yummy breakfast or an afternoon snack. The market is open every Sat.

Bites-On-Wheels is a small food truck/ food stand in the growing food truck community in Miami…read more What differentiates his food from the rest is that he sells ceviche, beef hot dog, and smoked sausage. He also makes, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. On first visit, which won't be my last, I tried the smoked sausage and the ceviche taco. The first thing I ate was the ceviche taco which was outstanding. The taco was big and it had fish, shrimp, with lettuces, onions, and topped with a mango habanero sauce. Hmmmm. It was really good. The ceviche itself was good. It was citrusy, sweet, and had big chunks of fish. The mango habanero took it over the top with a spicy kick. I am hooked on that and might just get a cup of ceviche by itself next time. When I ordered the sausage the cook asked me "if I was hungry?,'" as he took out the long, large smoked sausage and put it on the griddle while smirking. It smelled fantastic while i waited for my food. He put an NYC onion & tomato relish sauce with the sausage on the hoagie roll and topped it with potato sticks. There was a nice snap from casing of the sausage and a crunch from the potato sticks. The relish added a nice sweetness that contrasted the smokiness of the sausage. The sausage comes with a bag of chips and all for $4. What a great deal. The owner told me he will also serve dinner in the Shell Gas station on 117th and Kendall, where Ale House is, once he gets a generator to power his lights on his truck. I am a big fan and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Come support Bites-On-Wheels. I'm sure you will enjoy the food.

I was at an American Cancer Society Relay for Life Event last year and after walking around the…read moretrack for 6 hours in the dark, I thought I was hallucentating because I saw what looked like people eating hot dogs with potato chips and Russian dressing !! I was directed to the Colombian Cravings Cart where I saw a chart of improbable combinations of condiments and other items like Potato Chips for the hot dogs. I have no idea what is in the " special sauce " but the combo of it with chips and the broiled and then slightly barbaqued hot dogs was heaven !!! Then I look over to the left and see a guy making meat magic in the style I had only seen in Argentina - Parrilla style ( pa ree sha ...lol ) Chicken and steak so good - it would be any vergaterians nightmare. I was so impressd that I contacted the owner later about possible supplying some hot dogs at the Rotary Club of Miami Beach's next meeting. I expected them to drop off a few hot dogs and sodas but No ... The came full gear with the Hot Dog Cart and portable Parrilla Grill and they made the stuff right there during our meeting !!! The contents of the meeting were quickly forgetton because all the visiting Rotarians from Europe wanted to do is eat the food ....lol The wife is from Colombia and the husband from Argentina and they work alot of festivals and races like the Dragon Boat series and a lot of the Relay for Life Events. If you want to impress someone or yourself at your next function, meetng - I highly suggest Colombian Cravings -- they are booked solid though the World Cup btw ... colombiancravings@hotmail.com

Can truckin' and palatable food mix as well as truckers and amphetamine psychosis or underage…read morerunaways mix? In the case of the first and longest operating food truck in Miami, homemade Filipino delicacies and four wheels definitely mix. I began my adventure with a half-Pinay (Filipina) at Parking Lot F in Terminal C at the Port of Miami. I did so many laps before I found it, that I thought I saw someone in a shiny jumper waving a checkered flag. Just head toward the Cruise ship terminals and it's all the way at the end. Years of full-contact drinking, exposure to harmful chemicals and working in nuclear facilities has insured that my memory is as muddled as a Lychee Mojito. But here's what I remember -- Longaniza: grilled Fire Cracker sausage with a touch of sweetness. Lumpia: fried spring rolls of Chinese origin served with sweet chili sauce. Only served during fall, winter and select Filipino holidays because they don't keep well. Pancit: special lo mein made with rice vermicelli noodles instead of ramen. Grilled Milkfish: mild, flaky fish with some free shrimp thrown in. I did as I was instructed an went for the stomach first. Taro Leaves: stewed in coconut milk with a spicy kick served with steamed white rice. We were stuffed but had to try the Ube (purple yam) cake and the Puto, not androgynous male prostitutes, sugary rice cakes. While she read descriptions of Calbee shrimp flavored puffs, and Chlorella Soap (not to be confused with Cholera) on the market side of the truck, I was busy getting to know the regulars of the FFT. Here's what I can't forget -- I quickly learned that "piripinos" don't want anything to do with our prime rib carving station or overflowing chocolate fountains on the cruise ships. Where else would you have such gaudy food as ice cream sundae buffets? I can see how mass produced meals can seem clinical and apathetic. They were looking forward to slow-food they didn't have to wait for. By the way they ate; you'd think that these laborers were fed gruel and water three times a day. They showed up with famished stomachs and souls, empty from dealing with newlyweds and our aging American population. After eating with gloved hands instead of utensils, the Pinoys were in such a festive mood that the coolers come out. San Miguel and Heineken bottles were everywhere and as the flood of memories and emotions rushed in, much singing and laughing rushed out. At 11am after gorging themselves on comfort food, these exhausted men were offering to buy me more food, opening my beers and making recommendations. After 45 minutes of this they had to return to their ship and we hugged it out and made promises to see each other we never kept. It's worth getting lost in the port just to have half the experience we did.

Mmmmm, delicious!! Thanks, soooo much, Rony, for reviewing this place. The owner here is super…read morefriendly and helpful. He's the type of chill person who will have a conversation with you like he's known you forever and he makes some dang good food! He no longer makes cake, pancit, or lumpia (at least not during the hotter summer months because they don't hold up well in the heat), however, he's got a delicious spread of other dishes like pork adobo, chicken in a basic sweet/sour brown sauce, fish, blood something or other (pinoy people, I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about), and a really delicious spinach/collard green like veggie cooked in coconut milk (taro leaves--thanks Rony). If you've ever had Cambodian or Vietnamese rice cake in banana leaf (num anksom in Khmer), then you will love that veggie. It reminds me of the flavor in the rice in a rice cake. Anywho, this truck also has a wide spread of SE Asian drinks like thai tea and some yummy fruit juices and nectars, like nice thick mango nectar in the glass bottle. There is also a nice spread of filipino snacks, like those season toasted corn thingies ~~yum~~~ and some basic filipino ramen-style packaged rice noodles. In terms of the food quality, it was all super delish! The meat was typical filipino sweet/sour for both the pork adobo and the chicken, but the adobo is more of a sweet/salty flavor opposition, too. It is supposed to be salty and worked wonderfully with the diced tomato and onion salad condiment on the side. For a spoonful of pork adobo to try and the chicken dish with rice along with the stewed taro leaves and the onion and tomato salad, a giant can of thai tea, and a gifted corn snack, it was $7. And a note on cleanliness--the owner was meticulous about cleanliness and about always keeping lids on food to keep flies away. FYI, if you ask him what he has, he will tell you what "safe" dishes he has, however, if you are a more adventurous diner, ask him what about the other dishes and let him know you are not a fussy eater and he'll show you and explain the rest. He is also very nice about letting you sample before you choose. You can find the food truck in the J Terminal at the end of Asia Way, closer to the exit from the terminals back toward the city. He generally closes shop at 4PM and arrives at about 8AM. You can park for free at the lot directly across the street and the entrance to the lot is just past the truck. In short, next time you go to the beach, downtown, design district, etc around 8a-4p, consider lugging your butt to the port for a tasty filipino treat! I mean, how often do we actually get good Asian food in this city?? And SE Asian?? I mean, cmon!

I love cows on a plate, on bun (along with chicken), etc etc…read more However, I'm open minded enough that I'll try a vegetarian meal once in a while, especially if it's with fellow foodie friends. Josette S. posted the event, and this was my second time at Chef Allen's Farm to Table dinners, since I'd previously indulged at an Elite event a few years back. There is still free parking across the street. The dining area had various farmer market booths around selling vegetables, jams and a tasty cherry Italian ice. To a carnivore like me, salads are typically just the app or first course, but as a vegetarian meal everything was a salad. We started with a family-style plate of various (yellow, red, and roma) tomatoes and fried okra. I found out veggie dishes can be fried! The third course of roasted potatoes and red peppers along with a cool yet spicy red pepper hummus. This contained my usual veggie plates so it was easily my favorite! Main course was a piece of eggplant parmesan with just the right amount of tomato, cheese and a side of wild rice. I ate most of the eggplant "meat" but left the skin. The second course, other than the shredded carrots, was the one I could have passed on. Like President Bush, Broccoli wouldn't be prudent, not gonna do it.. Dessert was a rich, not overly sweet, piece of chocolate brownie. Though I said in was going to be a troll and have a burger afterward, I was actually satisfied! Chef Allen himself spoke the first event I went (during the elite event) giving a history of how each dish related to the dinners theme. However, he wasn't there at Monday's event so we missed out on that. Still, the manager and staff from the Books and Books cafe were very pleasant and informative. I'd definitely give the cows another break sometime.

Even the small portion I ordered was enough food for both lunch and dinner. The chicken was juicy, cooked to perfection, and seasoned very well. The ribs were amazing--fall-off-the-bone tender! I recommend getting the sauce on the side, but definitely get plenty of it because it's delicious and really makes the chicken pop. I also tried the brown sugar lemonade, which was very sweet but still great to try. And the festival did not disappoint! There's nothing like a sweet, crispy stick of bread. Each basket of chicken comes paired with plain white bread, which gives it a nice little sandwich-like feel. I'll definitely be trying this place again! The lines can get pretty long, so be prepared to wait a little bit, but it's definitely worth it. There's no seating so be prepared to take your items to go.
