Miami: Latin Passion & Pastel Pink Skies
From the Porter & Sail editorial team.
Each month Skyscanner puts out a list of affordable flights to cities. This July, Miami caught our eye. Book that plane ticket, and then check out Porter & Sail’s Guide to Miami for those in search of the city’s local flavors.
What do you think of when you think of Miami? For us, it’s an endless cafecito beneath a slow ceiling fan while sun-beaten old men in white shirts play dominos at the corner table. If you concur, let these perfect renditions of dishes from Cuba, Mexico, Haiti and Venezuela take you there.
The Cubano
Las Olas Cafe
This fast-moving cafeteria is a local favorite for legendary Cuban comfort food. Arguably Miami’s finest Cubano, the bread is slathered in real butter and filled with house-made mojo-infused pork loin, salty ham, and topped with pickles, mustard, melted Swiss, and expertly pressed on la plancha.
Churrasco
Fiorito
Exceptional Argentinian cuisine is cooked and served by Fiorito’s owners in unassuming Little Haiti. The tender Churrasco is prepared either as a main dish or a sandwich, topped with colorful chimichurri.
Ropa Vieja
David’s Cafe
A Miami institution, David’s Cafe serves authentic Ropa Vieja like the Cuban grandmother you never had — and now wish you did.
Arepas
27
This two-story restaurant linked to Freehand Miami’s supercool Broken Shaker bar, dishes out impressive Latin fare. The house-made Arepa platter, served with ropa vieja, queso de mano, and hogado easily feeds four.
Empanadas
Los Fuegos
Crisp and stuffed with hand-cut beef and spicy llajua sauce, Los Fuegos’ empanadas are an elevated take on a Gaucho staple, prepared by a renowned Argentinian chef.
