El Rey del Chivito
Heart, meet the ‘King of Chivitos’ and his signature dish: a sandwich of steak, ham, cheese, fried eggs and mayonnaise (there may have been lettuce, peppers and tomatoes too, but the other ingredients just laughed at them). Now run, heart, run away! That’s just the basic, by the way, and it comes with fries. We’ve never heard of Uruguayan restaurants in the US, and now we know why: anyone who could spread the word died of a coronary long ago. El Rey also serves Uruguayan pizza; try it topped with faina, long strips of bread mixed with cheese and peppers.

La Moon
Nothing – and we’re not necessarily saying this in a good way – soaks up the beer like a Colombian hot dog topped with eggs and potato sticks. Or fried pork belly and pudding. These delicacies are the preferred food and drink of Miami’s 24-hour party people, and the best place for this wicked fare is in stumbling distance of the Transit Lounge. To really fit in, order a refajo: Colombian beer (Aguila) with Colombian soda (preferably the red one).

Guayacan
Nicaraguan meals served by friendly folks in a pleasantly homey atmosphere is what it’s all about. Don’t get us started on the roast pork – oh, alright, it’s divine. All specials come loaded with sides: salad, rice and beans, plantains, french fries, corn tortillas and bread.

Flamingo Restaurant
This tiny Nicaraguan storefront/café serves the behind-the-scenes laborers who make South Beach function. Workers devour hen soup, pepper chicken and cheap breakfasts prepared by a meticulous husband-and-wife team who like to get details (and portions) just right.
