Little Havana's—and we'd argue Miami's—most famous ice cream parlor sells all sorts of irresistible, only-in-Miami flavors: The Abuela Maria with crumbled Maria crackers and guava and cream cheese, the flan ice cream with heaps of Cuban rum, the Knaus Berry Farm with bourbon-soaked chunks of those hard-to-get-your-hands-on cinnamon rolls. We could wax poetic all day on Suzy Batlle's flavors but you should just go and try it for yourself.
This should go without saying but the best Little Havana restaurants serve more than just Cuban food. Over the years, Miami’s Latin neighborhood has grown to embrace a wide variety of cuisines, from Thai and Mexican to Spanish. It’s a true melting pot of flavors and cultures that represents Miami as well. You’ll find Miami’s finest Cuban sandwiches alongside several contenders for Miami’s best tacos. Once you’ve eaten your way through the neighborhood, sidle up to one of Miami’s best bars for a cocktail and a little salsa dancing—which is always on the menu in Little Havana.
