Location: South Beach
Cuisine: Latin American
Price Category: Moderate

If you're a fan of singer Gloria Estefan, you will definitely want to check out this restaurant, which she and her husband, Emilio, co-own; if not, you may want to reconsider, as the place is an absolute mob scene, especially on weekends. The classic Cuban dishes get a so-so rating from the Cubans, but a better one from those who aren't as well versed in the cuisine. The portions here are larger than life, as are some of the restaurant's patrons, who come here for the sidewalk scenery and the well-prepared black beans and rice. Inside, the restaurant turns into a makeshift salsa club, with music blaring over the animated conversations and the sounds of English clashing with Spanish. Because of its locale on Ocean Drive, Larios is a great place to bring someone who's never experienced the Cuban culture or tasted its cuisine.

Main courses $8-$27.Open: Sun-Thurs 11:30am-midnight; Fri-Sat 11:30am-2am.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, MC, V.
