"The beef ribs at Shivers are fall-off-the-bone tender. They have an amazing barbecue sauce that they glaze them in. Hands down, the best barbecue in Miami."

"The oxtail served over fried potatoes and white rice is one of my favorite foods. It reminds me of eating dinner at my abuela’s (grandma's) house. Make sure to go on Thursday, as this dish is only offered then."

"This is salt-cured flank steak that is cooked in a stew and served with bonito. The contrast of salty and sweet is amazing. People line up at this famous Miami fruit market just to taste this great dish."

"Only a pan con lechón dive this good can get a stand in the new Marlins Stadium. They take a pig, roast it, chop up everything (including the crispy skin), pour their special sauce on top, and put it between some soft Cuban bread."

"The guys at Pubbelly have a lot of delicious dishes on the menu, but this one is my favorite. The Japanese amberjack has this great lemongrass sauce on it, and they garnish it with a powder made of caramelized hazelnuts and sea salt—yum!"

"Marcelo has the best ceviche in Miami. He serves it out of a van that he parks in a hidden dive called Jimbo's where you have to go bobbing for canned beer. He's actually Peruvian and mixes it up right in front of you. Marcelo serves it up classic style, using good fish, red onions, sweet potatoes, chulpe corn, cilantro leaves, and lime juice."
