Palestinian owner Ali Aziz has hand-formed his pita dough without machines since 1972, producing what local press has called the best pita in Miami — possibly the country — from a tiny Coral Way market with no formal menu.
Notable Picks
8.5
A one-man Palestinian deli-market where owner Ali Aziz hand-forms his pita dough daily using techniques refined over six decades of professional baking—no machines, no shortcuts. The tiny Coral Way shop runs on takeout energy with no formal menu and only two tables, but what comes out of that kitchen punches well above the price point. When the space is quiet, sitting with Ali and hearing his stories is half the experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Baked Spinach Pie, Baklava Lady Fingers

A tiny Coral Way café where identical twin French chefs bake everything from scratch daily — when the croissants sell out, that's confirmation the goods are fresh, not frozen. The loaded egg specials and Le Parisienne crepe run the table for under $15 in a market where comparable brunch spots charge double, making it the kind of neighborhood repeat where you eventually learn to tell the twins apart. Six tables of four, counter service, and a quiet Parisian-diner energy that fits the format without pretending to be something it's not.
Must-Try Dishes:
Le Parisienne Crepe, French Toast with Caramelized Apples & Pecans, Egg Special with Turkey, Brie & Spinach
What Makes it Special: Run by identical twin French chefs who bake everything fresh daily in a tiny Coral Way café that feels like a neighborhood Parisian diner — at Miami prices that barely exist anymore.

A family-run Coral Gate taqueria where handmade tortillas and from-scratch salsas set the foundation for straightforward Mexican plates—birria, mole, and fish tacos that lean on fresh ingredients over high technique. The owner-operated format keeps the food personal but can stretch thin on staffing during busier nights, so temper expectations on service speed. Friday mariachi turns the colorful, mural-lined dining room into a livelier scene for families willing to trade quiet conversation for energy.
Must-Try Dishes:
Birria Tacos, Pollo en Mole Poblano, Fish Tacos
What Makes it Special: Family-run Coral Gate taqueria making handmade tortillas and salsas from scratch daily, with a colorful mural-adorned dining room and live mariachi on Friday nights.
