Best Fast Food Restaurants in Highland Lakes

"A cartoonish neon sign and brash colors lead you into this Little Havana seafood restaurant where most people are here for the OG Minuta, a snapper sandwich that’s a whole fish on a lightly toasted Cuban roll. Shrimp empanadas, conch fritters, shrimp tacos—they all come out fresh and tasty and if you’re feeling hungry or want to share, the kitchen will send out whole fried fish or a stone crab or a breaded lobster. You can’t go wrong here."

"While this seafood staple in Little Havana has been around since 1976, it’s a secret gem for many visitors and even locals. La Camaronera started as a no-frills Cuban fish-fry joint where patrons ate standing up at the counter. It has since added table service, and it’s still home to one of the best fried fish sandwiches in Miami – the signature pan con minuta, a golden-battered snapper sandwich served on a Cuban roll."

"An institution in Miami, locals have been coming here for close to 40 years for its "pan con minuta" sandwich and seafood — that are high in quality but low in prices ranging from $7-8 depending on the market price. Offering takeout and outdoor dining."

"What started as a takeout window in South Beach became a chain taking over Florida with fresh, healthy ceviche, salads, burritos, and tacos. Most restaurants now have sit-down space, but the atmosphere is the same everywhere: Fresh seafood or free-range chicken is combined with fresh seasonal vegetables, given an international flavor and offered at reasonable prices. The signature ceviche is simple: fresh locally caught seafood tossed with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, red onions, and jalapenos, all drenched in their fresh, citrus-based sauce that comes in several versions."

"During the course of nearly a decade MyCeviche has expanded to multiple locations and much more than just ceviche. The counter service restaurant serves ceviche bowls, burritos, and toasts piled high with choice of fish, shrimp, chicken, and newly added filet mignon. View this post on Instagram"

"El Palacio de los Jugos steps up its game with dishes from Cuba to Puerto Rico with its arroz emperial, maduros and a variety of fruit juices. This iconic Miami spot is where the locals come to get their grub on with special dishes that remind them of their culture and home. Offering takeout and delivery."

"Situated inside the University of Miami, this long-standing museum is a favorite for UM students and the Coral Gables community. The Lowe is home to a well-rounded collection of art from the Italian Renaissance, Baroque, Greco-Roman, and Spanish Old Masters, among others. The museum also holds a sizeable assortment of Native American, African, and Asian art and antiquities."

"Miami's reputation on the international art scene tends to focus on the new. The Magic City is the place where, once a year, collectors from around the world come to scope out the cutting edge of contemporary art. But what about the old?"

"The setting for Morgans Restaurant, an old house with a covered porch where guests can sit and chat as they enjoy their food and coffee, lends a decidedly homey feel to this restaurant, which also serves homestyle comfort classics to add to the overall ambience. At Morgans, breakfast and brunch options include homemade sticky buns, brioche French toast, house-cured salmon plates, omelets, chocolate-dipped waffles, English breakfast, and French toast stuffed with mascarpone and raspberries. They also serve delicious coffee, fruit and vegetable juices, fresh smoothies, and pitchers of Bellini, sangria, mimosa, or Kir Royale."

"For over a decade, Morgans has developed a loyal local following driven mostly by word-of-mouth, and it's not hard to see why; it's a spot that offers a staggering assortment of brunch goodies (think everything from Boursin egg sandwiches, to mascarpone-and-raspberry-stuffed French toast) in a seriously cute 1930's house that the owners have outfitted with mod furnishings, and polished concrete floors. Its also got a huge wrap-around porch with extra seating and communal tables that practically begs for a brunch spread. Courtesy Mandarin Oriental, Miami"

"The “modern comfort food” served at Morgan’s is soul food, but made with organic ingredients, making it one of the best breakfast spots in Miami. The menu includes the classic breakfast and brunch fare, like the sticky buns or the eggs benedict with the exceptional hollandaise sauce. Morgan’s also offers a new take on these classics – the Benedict Burger is a great example of that – as well as other intriguing items like the Beet and Goat Cheese Tacos."
