Best Fast Food Restaurants in Star Island

"If La Camaronera only served their famous pan con minuta - an amazing fried snapper sandwich that’s just about perfect - we’d still tell you to come to this casual spot in Little Havana. But since they do both that and about a dozen other things with shrimp, lobster, oysters, and conch better than anywhere else in town, we feel like we should warn you that La Camaronera raises your seafood bar forever. And while we’ve loved lots of seafood in our lives, we haven’t found another fried shrimp in town that’s gotten us this excited."

"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."

"For another variation on the Cuban sandwich theme, pay a visit to La Camaronera. The Garcia family opened a fish market in Miami in the 1960s; about 10 years later they added fryers to cook and serve some of their catch on site. You could only eat standing at a counter, but a few months ago they finally installed chairs and tables."

"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"

"They serve it in a variety of ways: tacos, burritos, ceviche, and salads. You can also get chicken here. They have multiple locations."

"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."

"We dream about the made-from-scratch smoothies and juices at El Palacio. They’re as fresh as ever, totally worth the drive and pretty healthy, with options ranging from watermelon to mamoncillo chino (an addictively tart fruit related to lychees). It is called the juice palace, after all."

"One of the few places serving authentic Cuban food at good prices in Miami Beach (they also have multiple locations throughout Miami)."

"Sergio's opened over 40 years ago as a small sandwich stand started by Cuban exiles. 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."

"They have every filling you can imagine, from the typical meat and chicken options to guava or spinach pastries. They also have a window so you can order to go, or sit inside for a more expansive dinner menu. Sergio’s is a South Florida staple; so much so that they have a cafe in Fort Lauderdale Airport."

"This family-run chain is another local favorite for Cuban comfort food — especially for their huge breakfast and Cuban coffee. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. 3252 SW 22nd St, Miami, FL 33145 (See On Google Maps)"

"Follow the "hot light" in North Miami to find melt-in-your-mouth, signature original glazed doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. At times you'll see locals lining the streets waiting for the first batch of doughnuts in the wee hours of the morning. Try the iconic brand's eight wonderful varieties of doughnuts, including jelly-filled, powdered, chocolate, cinnamon, coconut and even the peanut cake stick."

"The national brand is offering customers a free doughnut this Friday – in fact, all week!. No purchase necessary!. Check out the locations in Miami."

"The big difference is that the Donuts are warm and melts in your mouth. The coffee is also excellent quality."

"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."

"Seafood is another thing you will find at many Miami restaurants, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. My Ceviche is our favorite hidden gem we found on our last trip. This counter service eatery offers ceviche and poke bowl for just $10!"

"The outdoor seating area is walled off by hedges dripping with pink and purple flowers, giving your meal a garden party vibe. This Midtown restaurant is currently one of the most popular brunch destinations in Miami. So make sure to make a reservation to get your table."

"The Little River's Manatee Bend Park, where you can spot actual manatees, (six of them are in that picture!) is a small, green space to relax, a communal outdoor living room for the surrounding neighborhood."

"The domino park is located in Máximo Gómez Park on SW 15th ave. As you walk along Calle Ocho, you should be able to spot it. This is the perfect place to visit if you love traditional and authentic vibes!"

"#GoNative tip:Before you leave the ’hood, at least stroll by “Domino Park,” where old-timers join to play frequently and the clatter of dominoes can be heard down the street."

"Head to Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) to watch the heated competition at Domino Park or shop for a quality stogie. Plan to stay:2-3 hours"

"Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Lummus Park Beach is a public park with over 74 acres of land. It can be found on the east of Ocean Drive and was created in 1985."

"Posh steakhouses are nearly as ubiquitous as barre classes and blowout bars among Washington Avenue’s Art Deco jungle, but Red surpasses the competition. Ranked the country’s sexiest steakhouse by Playboy, the chic space serves prime cuts (including aged Angus filet, a late-night favorite of one Justin Bieber) as well as raw bar selections like Florida King crab legs and poke bowls with sushi-grade tuna."

"Most of the dishes at Red South Beach are steaks, other meats, and seafood cooked on the grill to the customer’s liking. Executive chef Peter Vauthy handpicks the proteins that go on the menu. There are rich and decadent accompaniments to go with the proteins, such as Parmesan tater tots, four-cheese can and cheese, and truffle whipped potatoes."
