Hialeah, Florida

Miami-Dade County · 796 restaurants

Hialeah is the heart of Cuban-American culture in South Florida, and its nearly 700 restaurants reflect that identity with pride. This is where you'll find the most authentic Cuban coffee, croquetas, and ropa vieja in the state — served at family-run restaurants and ventanitas that have been feeding the community for decades. The city's predominantly Spanish-speaking population has created a dining scene that feels more like Havana than anywhere else in the United States.
