Reply #5: Calla Ocho is the heart of Little Havana [View All]

[DoYouEverWonder]

Castro lived in the stone house on the corner of Red Rd (or LeJuene) I can't remember which and SW 8th St.

Lots of great Cuban resturants in the area. Some of the hole in wall ones are the best. For less the $5 you can eat very well. Try the Media Noche (Midnight Sandwich), Arroz con Pollo, anything with Pork. Sweet plantains are better than candy but you can keep the flan (too sweet). For breakfast, try the Cuban toast and an expresso if you want to start your day with a real kick.

Anyway, every year they have a festival called Calle Ocho and it's a real wild time. Just be careful, it is a 'bad' neighborhood.
