Best Fast Food Restaurants in South Beach

"When a family of exiled Cuban fishermen open a fish market, you can count of super-fresh fish and seafood. La Camaronera changed its name a few times and quickly grew to serve fish to the neighbors, who would come to munch on fried breaded snapper, drink soda, and discuss politics or sports. Fifty years later, La Camaronera is now a full-sized restaurant, simple and unpretentious, with a small menu of amazing dishes and the best fish sandwiches in town."

"A classic fish-fry joint in Flagler, La Camaronera is a popular restaurant among the locals. It is an affordable venue that served no-frill crowd-pleasers, such as fried shrimp and conch fritters. Some of the dishes on the menu are inspired by Cuban favorites, and there is the option to have fried fish and seafood served in various ways or alongside a variety of accompaniments."

"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."

"The first outpost of My Ceviche was essentially a seafood shack on South Beach with founders Sam and Roger playing the roles of chef and cashier, doling out fresh ceviche from a takeout window. Now the eatery has expanded across town to neighborhoods like Brickell and Midtown, yet it still maintains its playful, roll-with-the-punches spirit. Ceviche bowls and salads are topped with fresh seafood like charred octopus and seared ahi tuna, while the ever-popular, made-to-order poke bowl features fun flavors like wasabi sesame sauce and creamy togarashi."

"Choose from a selection of fresh fish, then add coconut jasmine rice or cilantro quinoa and a handful of sauces like aji amarillo, rocoto or tradicional (a mix of lime juice and avocado). It’s the biggest, tastiest (and most affordable) bowl of fresh fish you’ll ever eat. Multiple locations; myceviche.com"

Today it has morphed into a mini-empire with multiple locations and a reputation for serving excellent Cuban meals from the wee hours of the morning into the late evening. Start your day with what may easily be one of the best breakfast deals in Miami - El Mezclado, a platter of two scrambled eggs with ham, served with tostada, Cuban toast and a strong Cuban coffee."

"This might be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Miami, and that’s saying a lot considering we’ve got some fire tacos in these parts. They’ve got it all: tacos al pastor, quesadillas, enchiladas. Most importantly, their guac game is ON POINT. If you’re feelin’ particularly famished, there’s always the burrito grande, a grilled burrito stuffed with chicken or steak, rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, crema Mexicana, and of course, that guacamole."

"Restaurants Bakeries Design District. Miami’s late-night purveyor of gooey, made-to-order, donut-sized cookies is holding strong as one of the city’s best dessert delivery.

"Nice to know that the more things change, then change again, then get downright effing surreal, some things stay the same. Like how Night Owl Cookies will still bring you a dozen cookies at almost any hour of the night. And, though you can still go into the store to pick them up for now, you’ll have to wait outside until you get a text saying they’re ready.Cost: $2.75 a cookie; order through Postmates"

"It’s a flavorful explosion of guava, Maria cookies (crunchy tea biscuits), white chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting—and when we say it’ll keep you full for hours, we mean it. 10534 SW Eighth St.; 786-360-5011 or nightowlcookieco.com. Courtesy of My Ceviche"

MadLab Creamery isn't just about the ice cream, however. This spot also entices young and old to create their own sweet-treat work of art via more than 30 toppings, including edible glitter, tufts of pink cotton candy, golden-sheet sprinkles, even a macaroon or two."
