Miami doesn't sleep, and neither should you go hungry. The city's late-night food scene rivals any in America, fueled by club-goers, night shift workers, and anyone who believes 3 AM is a perfectly reasonable dinner time.
La Carreta on Calle Ocho remains the classic choice. Open 24 hours, this Cuban institution serves the same bistec empanizado and croquetas at midnight as it does at noon. The fluorescent lights and formica tables have witnessed countless post-party recovery sessions.
Taqueria el Mexicano in Homestead draws crowds willing to drive for authentic tacos after hours. The al pastor alone justifies the trek.
The Diner in Wynwood caters to the arts district crowd with elevated comfort food served until 5 AM on weekends. Truffle fries and champagne at 4 AM feels very Miami.
David's Cafe on South Beach has fueled late nights since 1977. The Cuban sandwiches are pressed to perfection regardless of the hour.
In a city that celebrates excess, feeding that excess around the clock is simply good hospitality.
