In a few weeks I'll be coming down to Miami with the family for a few days.

A rule I have whenever I travel is that I never eat at huge chains or fast food joints. I love food and love trying new things from new places.

I don't care if its a formal restaurant with dress requirements, or a truck on the side of the road. I'm looking for good food here.

I like all varieties and uniqueness is definitely a plus.

So what places would you guys suggest?

what part of Miami? Miami is huge. that way we can better tailor your cuisine guide to your location.

Oops, completely forgot about this thread. Sorry.

Still trying to decide where we are going to stay, so don't worry about that. Doesn't really matter anyways. I'm more than willing to travel all the way across town for really good food.

Go to the Rusty Pelican on Biscayne Bay, it's right by the Miami Seaquarium. It's pretty expensive but the food, service, and decor is awesome.

I'd also check at Tijuana Taxi Cab Co. in Davie. It's cheap and the food is spectacular.

If you want true MIAMI food I would recommend "La Carreta", its a chain of restaurants down here in south florida and its Cuban food, pretty good stuff!

He said he doesn't eat at chains when he travels.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I love Cuban food, so I'll probably hit those up first. Boliche is my favorite.

If its a chain that is specific to the city/area then sometimes I will make an exception. I mostly meant no national chains.

La Carreta makes amazing food. Joes Crab Shack is said to be pretty awesome.

Google "La Camaronera" Its a hole in the wall, that serves some of the freshest seafood in Miami at super cheap prices. Its far from fancy, its a stand up restaurant in a small strip mall. Just about everything they serve is fried (all freshly caught seafood)

The Le Tub Saloon in Hollywood is pretty unique and good with a relaxing atmosphere on the bay. If you like Ice Cream you can go to Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlour in Dania.
