This Miami landmark draws in scores of people each day to feast on Cuban delights.

Another favorite among Miami’s Cuban community is Islas Canarias; a family-owned restaurant for over 30 years that prides itself on home cooked meals and friendly service. Islas Canarias offers a mix of traditional and gourmet dishes, of which the ropa vieja (shredded flank steak creole style with rice and sweet plantains) and oxtail in wine sauce are highly recommended. Islas Canarias has three restaurants across Miami-Dade County, but the Little Havana location is the original and most popular.

La Rosa Bakery

Cubans know their finger foods. Scrumptious croquetas, flaky empanadas, and cakes for all occasions are just some of the tantalizing items on display at La Rosa Bakery on the corner of West Flagler Street and 42nd avenue. La Rosa Bakery was founded by the Mayoral family in 1968 shortly after emigrating from Cuba. Call ahead to take-out for the ultimate Cuban picnic, or grab a seat along the window if you can’t contain yourself after smelling the freshly baked bread.
