Los Pinarenos Fruit Market, Miami

If Miami had a fruit stand with a soul, Los Pinare帽os Fruit Market would be it. Established in 1963 by Guillermina Hern谩ndez and her late husband鈥攂oth originally from Pinar del Rio, Cuba (hence the name, Los Pinare帽os)鈥攖his family-run semi-outdoor market has been in operation ever since. Like a true eclectic island oasis, where the tropical breeze smells like sugarcane, it can easily double as a living postcard of old-school Little Havana: mangos piled high, coconuts cracked open to order, and guan谩banas so fresh they could star in a fruit commercial.

Additionally, they sell coffee and organic beverages, too. So don't be surprised if you hear the blenders before you see them鈥攂uzzing nonstop as they turn piles of fruit into velvety smoothies and freshly-squeezed juices. The rule here is simple: nothing frozen, nothing fake. Order a batido (that鈥檚 Cuban-style 鈥渕ilkshake鈥�), go classic with papaya or mamey, or get adventurous and let the vendor freestyle something based on your mood. The local legend, still, is the guarapo鈥攑ure sugarcane juice, pressed on the spot and sweet enough to make your dentist wince...

In case you鈥檙e craving something more substantial, don鈥檛 be fooled by the market鈥檚 modest setup. The family keeps a stash of homemade Cuban sandwiches, tamales, and even tuna salad that could hold its own at a proper caf茅. And of course, no visit ends without a tiny but mighty Caf茅 Cubano, made by Guillermina herself鈥攕weet, strong, and poured with the kind of authority that only an abuela (the affectionate Spanish for 鈥済ranny鈥�) can summon.

Step around back and you鈥檒l find the rest of the family鈥攆locks of chickens, a few fruit trees, and a rotund Vietnamese pig named Tuco (or is it Chucha?) who clearly takes the 鈥渆at local鈥� philosophy very seriously...
