This joint is one of the easiest and truest ways to see Miami's local Latin life in action. It's also one of the best fruit-shake shacks you'll ever come across. Besides the rows and rows of fresh tropical fruits and vegetables, and the shakes you can make with any of them, this boisterous indoor-outdoor market has a food section where you can get tamales, rice and beans, or a pan con lechón (roast pork on Cuban bread). Order your food at a counter and eat it along with local families at rows of outdoor picnic-style tables next to the parking lot. Living in Miami has its perks—regular visits to Palacio is one of them.
