Casual, comforting Cuban/American diner in south beach. I was given this rec by a friend and it did…read morenot disappoint! The menu has a wide variety of Cuban foods but I decided to go with my go-to: a Cuban sandwich. We ordered our food to go and it was prepared quickly. The sandwich itself was probably the best Cuban I've ever had. The pickles were a nice touch.

The menu was more pricey than expected which was a bit disappointing. A lot of items were around $20 and the portions weren't huge. You do get complimentary bread!

I went to Cortadito Coffee House's Washington location when I was in South Beach for a few hours on…read morea weekday and needed a little afternoon caffeine so I downloaded the Cortadito app in advance and when doing so you get a free Cortadito on your first order, the coupon applies as checkout. I ordered when I was in the store and the app defaulted to the Meridian location and there was no way to change it. The staff saw what happened and jumped to action and called the Meridian store and said they would let everyone know and started making the coffee in their store. A few minutes later I had my coffee and I was on my way. The staff were all so nice and helpful and the coffee was absolutely amazing! Definitely stop in if you are in the area!

A local chain that does Cuban sandwiches and pastries quite well. The menu includes some…read morequestionable non-Cuban dishes (e.g. pancakes), but I avoided them. Was quite pleased with what I ordered. Ham Croqueta: Crispy outside breading and very gooey inside. There were nice ham chunks inside. Chicken Croqueta: Same format as the ham croqueta. Though this one was kinda bland. The chicken strands just kinda blended in with the gooey mush center whereas the ham chunks were nice and smoky. Tequeño: Nicely executed with a cheesy center and crispy outside. Cuban Sandwich: I like how they really pay attention an evenly distributed and nicely crisped press on both sides. Many places are only partially crispy. The ratio of ham, pork, cheese, pickles and mustard was just right. The flavors worked in harmony and there wasn't one ingredient that dominated the rest.

Phenomenal and incredibly fresh -- a true little taste of Italy in Miami! After my favorite French…read morebakery closed post-pandemic, I was thrilled to discover Rosetta during a recent visit. This charming Italian café serves house-made desserts, savory pizzas and sandwiches, and authentic, perfectly brewed coffee. They bake throughout the day, and you can even watch trays of fresh goods come straight from the forno. The pizzas are drizzled with rich extra virgin olive oil and topped with vibrant, fresh ingredients -- simple and delicious. Friendly (and good-looking) staff, great music, and seating inside and on the patio create that lively neighborhood café feel. I ended up going back every single day of my stay. Bellissimo!

Today I saw the barista only putting in half a shot of coffee in everybody's order. No wonder why my coffee has always tasted water watered down!

This place is always busy and for good reason. The burgers are huge, tender, and made with fresh…read moreingredients from the bun to the lettuce. The shakes are excellent too, especially the Oreo. The prices are hard to beat anywhere in Miami Beach. Burgers run about $10, shakes around $6, draft beers $5, and fries about $4. It does get crowded, particularly on weekends and in the evenings, but the staff keeps the line moving and the food comes out quickly. Seating inside is limited and bar-style only, with most tables outside. Even when the tables fill up, turnover is steady, so you usually don't have to wait long.
