The owner of Versailles also owns la carreta. I personally like la caretta better- my 2 yo loves croquetas! Gloria estafon's restaurant on ocean drive is fun if you are on sobe and so is puerto sagua.

Another vote for Versailles....

Versailles all the way - and don't miss the cafecito bar at 11 p.m.

And be sure to hit that big fruit market in Hialeah on Sunday after church- a truly singular experience!

Versailles is an icon, I can taste the garlic now ...

Second for Versailles. It's the best.

I grew up in Miami and am Cuban.

Try:

Latin American on 8th street and 57th avenue NW
Versailles

La Carreta is not that great.

La Carreta all the way!

La Carreta is a chain but it is soooo good- the one on calle 8
Also Sergios in Coral Gables
There is a great lunch place (mostly to go/counter service) on South Beach- Las olas cafe 6th and Euclid

The first two are great for kids

La Carreta is a chain, and not very good at all.

Check out Yambo in Little Havana or La Carreta near Coral Gables.

Any recommendations? Places that are cool for kids would be especially appreciated!
