With entrées averaging $15, Larios, given its prime location on Ocean Drive across from the shore in the heart of South Beach, is a bargain. All-day service features Cuban cuisine, including arroz con pollo (chicken with rice), shrimp-stuffed plantain cups, and grilled skirt steak. Singer and Miami resident Gloria Estefan co-owns the joint, which is packed on weekends when a Cuban band entertains.
