This influence also extends to Miami’s food, so all foodie visitors to this city should absolutely seek out and try these delicious dishes.

Ropa Vieja

Ropa Vieja is a classic Cuban dish, and there are plenty of spots to find a delicious version in Miami. Consisting of shredded or pulled beef with a variety of vegetables, such as stewed peppers and onions, you’d be crazy not to try ropa vieja in Miami.

Cuban Sandwich

A Cuban sandwich is just about as Cuban-American as it gets. While this tasty sandwich can be found throughout the United States, the best versions of this roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickle, and yellow mustard sandwich are undoubtedly found in Miami.

Cuban Coffee

Looking for an afternoon pick-me-up or the perfect way to finish a Cuban meal? Look no further than a cup of Cuban coffee. This little cup of super strong, super sweet espresso is an Old Havana favorite that is ubiquitous throughout Miami.

Larger and typically less sweet that the typical banana fruit, plantains have a variety of uses in the kitchen and can be used as both a sweet and savory side dish.

Green Plantains

Green plantains, which are when the fruit is eaten less ripe than the yellow version, can be used to make delicious savory side dishes.

One common way to utilize green plantains in your kitchen is to fry them in oil (or, for a healthier version, roast them in your oven) to create plantain chips. After frying or roasting, they are sprinkled with sea salt. These delightful chips are oh-so-slightly-sweet and a crunchy way to add a twist to your next Latin-inspired meal.

Yellow Plantains

Now, with yellow plantains, you’re going to find a sweet, mature, and soft fruit that is used to make sweet side dishes.

The best way to use yellow plantains in your kitchen is to fry them in oil after cutting them into chunks, which renders a delicious Latin dish called maduros. These fried, sweet pieces of plantain are often served with meat dishes to counteract the savory qualities of the meat. Yum!
