You know what’s really good? Tamale at Taqueria El Mexicano in Little Havana

You know what’s really good? The tamale at Taqueria El Mexicano in Little Havana. I love tamales but seem to have trouble finding exceptional ones. I waltzed into Taqueria El Mexicano looking to enjoy a Cochinita Pibil Taco and left a giant fan of their tamale. It had a moist Pork filling and deliciously light and not overbearing red sauce. The tamale is served in a corn husk and it’s up to you to unwrap this beauty and enjoy.

You know what’s really good? The Fugazza Pizza at Loven Ovens in Medley

I hadn’t been to Loven Ovens in a few years since I moved. I was hungry and only their Fugazza Pizza would do. I drove over to their location in Doral only to realize they weren’t there anymore. After a quick internet search (not that quick, my cell phone is horrible) off to Medley I drove to fulfill my lunch fantasy. And there in the middle of pretty much nowhere was Loven Ovens, now a larger and nicer space.

I ordered some garlic rolls and a meatball sub too but I was here for only thing, Fugazza. The Fugazza Pizza is double layered thin crust pizza with a triple portion of Mozzarella Cheese and topped with their spiced sauce and thin raw onion slivers. You know what’s really good? You’re looking at it below.

You know what’s really good? Filet Mignon Burger at Giraffas in North Miami

You know what’s really good? The Filet Mignon Burger at Giraffas in North Miami.

Giraffas is a restaurant chain from Brazil that is known for its steaks and burgers. The thought of ordering a steak crossed my mind but the Filet Mignon sounded much more appealing to me.

You know what’s really good? Pan con Lechon at Papo Llega y Pon

You know what’s really good? The Pan con Lechon at Papo Llega y Pon. Papo Llega y Pon is located in the Allapattah part of Miami. I’ve probably driven past this place a few hundred times and never even noticed it. It looks more like an outdoor laundromat than the home of probably one of the greatest Pan con Lechons on earth. Pan con Lechon is a Cuban Roast Pork Sandwich for those non locals. Why Cuban? Not only cause I said so but the flavors, preparation style and bread make it so. When ordering you could just go the pork only route but the onions and hot sauce along with the mojo really are what make the sandwich exceptional. There are 2 sizes (small and large) and possibly some secret menu since the lady ahead of me (who really shouldn’t have been wearing a tube top) ordered a full loaf of Cuban bread stuffed with the heavenly meat. There are a few other items available and if you get there early enough, chicharrones. I haven’t been that lucky as of late unfortunately.

You know what’s really good? Bistec A La Milanesa from Caribe

You know what’s really good? A Bistec A La Milanesa at Caribe Cafe Restaurant. You can either go the steak or chicken route with this dish. The steak or chicken is pounded thin, breaded and then pan fried. It’s topped with ham and thick slices of Swiss cheese which is then melted. If that’s not delicious enough they add some Parmesan cheese on it for the finish. Decadence at its best!

You know what’s really good? Quiche at Buena Vista Deli

I know what you’re thinking: “Is he really writing about quiche?” The first I even heard of quiche was when Jon Favreau in the movie Swingers said that real men don’t like quiche. I say, why not? It’s creamy, it’s eggy and it’s got cheese. Cheeeeeeseee!!!! And I loved it, so there! Maybe I should join quiche eaters anonymous?

You know what’s really good? The Double Cheezer at Jefe’s

You what’s really good? The Double Cheezer at Jefe’s Original Fish Taco & Burger.

The Double Cheezer “Miami Style”  from Jefe’s

This thing slays me. The cheese/boss sauce/onion combination is just unbelievable. You have to of course order it “Miami style” which means you’ll get extra everything with grilled onions. I skip the tomato, lettuce, pickles but if you do order it that way I won’t hold it against you. Don’t forget to order the real deal fries while you’re here also cause they were rightly named.
