One of the
best things about cultural diversity is the food. South Florida has become a sort
of meeting center for all races; a place where there’s room for everybody. Particularly,
the Latino influence is taking over the culinary arts. In Coral Gables and its surroundings, you will find some of the best
Latin food restaurants in the world; here are our favorites:
Jaguar
Ceviche Spoon Bar and Latin Grill: this
delicious restaurant mixes flawlessly Mexican and Peruvian food. Every item in the
menu will take you to the roots of Latino food with a lot of flavor, fresh
ingredients (some brought from South America!), and colorful attention. You
won’t eat a better Ceviche, and their mouthwatering “Chupe de Camarón” (shrimp
soup) will present you with a whole new set of flavors for your palate. 3067
Grand Ave, Coconut Grove, Miami, FL 33133-5170.
Talavera:
this
is a little piece of Latin America in Coral Gables. Mexican food there is
absolutely astonishing, and it’s actually the restaurant the Latino population
in Miami always chooses because it offers authentic flavors from their
countries. Be amazed by their wide selection of handcrafted cocktails and
delicious shots, with real Latino seasoning. Another great thing about
Talavera: special meals for vegetarians. 2299 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Coral
Gables, FL 33134.
Doggi’sArepa Bar:
if you want to know what Venezuelan food really tastes like, you need to go
there. Empanadas, arepas, yuka fries, and other traditional meals are all
available there, and at a more than reasonable price. You can’t miss their
Cachapas (traditional corn pancake, semi-sweet, with cream and organic white
shredded cheese). 1246 SW 22nd St, Miami, FL 33145.
MesaMar
Seafood Table: this Cuban restaurant features some of the best
seafood and Latin food in the South of Florida. Have an unforgettable lunch or
dinner with a soothing and relaxing musical background where all your senses
will be involved. Try their unique lobster tacos or their Ceviche with Peruvian
influence while drinking Prosecco. This is one of the best reviewed Latino
restaurants in the area, and it only takes one bite to understand why. 264 Giralda
Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134.
PlomoTequila & Taco Bar: if you are looking for a fun place
to have a delicious Mexican meal with your family or with some friends, you
should definitely try Plomo Tequila. Try their delicious tacos while you watch
how their staff, who are very knowledgeable about their craft, prepare and mix
some of the best cocktails you’ll ever have. You’ll probably end up learning a
thing or two about Latin American culture and maybe how to make some of the
drinks at home.
