El Mago de las Fritas
Nothing beats the fried Cuban burgers that are served at El Mago de las Fritas. This place serves the best Latin, Caribbean, and Cuban meals at unbeatable prices.

NIU Kitchen
If looks could kill, NIU Kitchen would have murdered all of us by now. The sleek, modern interiors and gorgeous accents are a sight for sore eyes—but don’t get sold on just its looks alone. This beautiful restaurant is one of the most affordable food spots in town.
Based in Downtown Miami, this Catalan restaurant offers the best cold tomato soup and the chef’s special arròs de cargols—a delicacy made from rabbit confit, rice, and escargot. It’s the perfect place for a romantic date night or a special celebration! You get an exclusive private dining experience that doesn’t break the bank.
Boia De
Nothing beats drinking out of a clay mug. This restaurant subverts all the generic trends including boring cutlery and dinnerware with a fresh change of pace. At the very Italian Boia De, the interiors are decorated with gorgeous accents that echo elements of the vibrant culture. But what tops it all, are the delicious, wholesome meals.
The stracciatella and caviar served in seasoned potato skins and beef tartare are one of the best-selling items on the menu. But if you’re in the mood for something else, the tortellini in brood, white truffle tagliatelle, and king crab tagliolini pastas may be the ideal meal for you.
