Some insider tips on Miami’s international flavors

Poke around smaller neighborhoods outside the tourist areas and you’ll find international spots that often fly under the radar but serve incredible food. For example, in Doral, almost every street corner offers Venezuelan or Colombian eats with much better prices and more authenticity than downtown spots.

Also, if you’re a fan of Korean food, go to H-Mart’s food court in Doral. It’s casual and not fancy but the kimchi jigae and bibimbap will knock your socks off. It’s where locals go for the real deal, not tourists. Trust me, you’ll enjoy the experience more without the crowds.
