After a crazy holiday season of getting married at Vizcaya, excessive partying at Bardot in my wedding dress (oh Oscar please forgive me!), Brazilian Reveillon (new years eve), xmas en Prea Beach, Fortaleza, I am here to report I have THREE new amazing miami eateries. Of course, both latin cuisines.
The first one is Salmon Salmon, not in the jazziest part of town, but way worth it . No lines, no hassles, no posh, just great reliable peruvian food. Not cheap but very fair. Make sure to order the ceviche, the tacu tacu, the frito mixto, papa a la huancaina, the lomo salteado. This spot is great for carnivores, seafood lovers, and vegetarians. Only bad thing is that you will wake up with some serious morning breath after a Salmon Salmon meal- Even if you brush your teeth before going to sleep (Must admit I dont always do that...shhhh! )
Another killer spot i recently came across is Talavera, in the heart of Coral Gables. This upscale Mexican (no TexMex BS) spot makes a mean margarita, vuelve a la vida (ceviche in red sauce , straight from Veracruz, MX), tacos al pastor, Nopales ( a delicious tangy cactus salad), and Huarache (a house specialty corn masa dish). Huarache is the Mexican word for sandal. So you are actually eating a sandle shaped corn meal dish topped with either meat or shrimp or chicken or just veggies. Absolutely delectable!
Finally, King Kone on Alton Road. Not exactly "Latino" because it is technically Japanese. However, it's run by Brazilians and I discovered it in Rio de Janeiro. Then 2 weeks later, by a magical coincidence, they opened near Lincoln Road. So for blog purposes, its Latino. King Kone is a strictly handroll Japanese restaurant. They have all types of handrolls. My fave is the salmon, masago and chives one. I advise you to steer clear of the small/mini hand rolls, only order the regular or large size. The small ones taste like cardboard! YUCK.
They also have killer sweet waffle cones, filled with fruit and nutella. Not very Japanesy, but hey nutella is a universal wonder. Some negatives: bad music, bad soy sauce serving squirts, and not the greatest lighting. They sill have some loose ends to figure out, so I'm not sure how long the heat will last? Get your handrolls while they're still cold!

SoBitch Intro
This is my first time ever blogging. Some may get annoyed at what I have to say, but I have been told I am the world's best critic, aka "Rupert." I tend to be viciously critical, some even say negative. But on the other hand, when I like I lovvvee!
My intention is to share my likes and dislikes with all of you on food, fashion, nightlife, and travel. Since traveling is my ultimate passion, I jump on any chance I get to take a trip, especially if I have a friend at the destination. So I plan on sharing my experiences and itineraries with you, sort of as “paying it forward”. Karma….
I am a Colombian chick who grew up in Miami, and currently lives in South Beach. So I’ll start with a few SoBe restaurants. For the most part, they blow. There are good ones, but the ratio of good to bad is like negative.
I’ll have to say Joes Stone Crabs is my fave restaurant out here. Even if you don’t like crabs, you can enjoy fresh fish, an awesome salad, killer creamed spinach, chopped tenderloin (fancy word for carb-free burgers) and their fried chicken. I hear they have a sweet lobster roll, but I am hesitant to try it . Not because I don’t trust, but simply because I have too many things I like. I cannot imagine, sparing one of my choices for the lobster roll. Always make sure to order Joe's Vinaigrette, it changes everything for the better! Tip: If you dont have any pull at Joe's, feel free to do the takeaway, spare yourself the greasing fee and the 20% tip
Its only fitting I now give a shout-out to what I consider the most amazing lobster roll out there - Pearl Oyster Bar (Mary’s Fish Camp coming in 2nd place) in the W Village, NYC!
Now for another little treasure: Le Sandwicherie . This is a sexy street countertop shop, with hot french waiters (hot tempered and dead sexy), who make a damn good sandwich and on either baguette or croissant. (I hear their croque monsieur is pretty good though I haven’t tried it yet.) They have this killer french vinaigrette, adding a delicious tang to their sandwiches. If you don’t wanna deal with french body odor, they are one of the few good restaurants that deliver, fairly quickly and accurately I must add.
Im not going to bore you with Miami scoop only. I will blog about food, travel, shopping in many different countries. In fact in the last few weeks I have had the luxury to travel to LA, Jamaica, NYC, and in a few days Brazil. So stay tuned and you will get Sobitch’s free city guides regularly.
