Casa Larios Description:
This Cuban food institution recently relocated to this more expansive spot around the corner from the Mall of the Americas in West Miami. It's an all-American success story: Over three decades ago, a waitress (Maria Teresa Lario) in a café met and fell in love with the café's chef (Quentin Lario). They shared a dream to own and operate a restaurant of their own someday. Eventually, they opened Casa Lario's, had a few children, and are now considered among the most successful restaurant proprietors in the city. Gloria and Emilio Estefan made them Miami household names when they opened up a Lario's in one of their hotels in South Beach. This is a casual, local family place, where Cuban historical memorabilia, photos and maps decorate the walls---and where the grown kids of the stars of this story are now the operators. Try the Cuban-style lamb shank, which is generous enough to feed two. And don't skip out on dessert, where pineapple, espresso, pumpkin, guava and cheese flans (among others) steal the show.
