Miramar’s comfort food scene draws from Caribbean roots, Southern staples, and Latin flavors—plates that are warm, generous, and perfect for family-style dining.
From jerk to ropa vieja to golden-fried seafood, these local favorites bring the flavor and the comfort.
Jerk Machine
For island comfort with swagger, Jerk Machine serves smoky-scorched jerk chicken, fall-apart oxtails, and curry goat over rice and peas with plantains on the side.
Spice levels are manageable but can be dialed up, and the portions are hearty.
It’s fast-casual, affordable, and full of the big flavors that make Caribbean cuisine such a natural fit for comfort.
La Brasa Grill
This local Peruvian chainlet is a go-to for charcoal rotisserie chicken—juicy, seasoned to the bone, and perfect with aji verde.
Round it out with yuca fries, tostones, and cilantro rice, or upgrade to lomo saltado for steak strips tossed with onions, tomatoes, and fries in a savory sauce.
It’s quick, satisfying, and easy to share.
The Honey Tree Caribbean Restaurant
A homey stop for soulful Caribbean plates, Honey Tree leans into comforting stews and braises.
Brown stew chicken is rich and peppery, oxtail gravy is deep and glossy, and escovitch fish brings bright, tangy crunch.
Sides like macaroni pie, rice and peas, and cabbage fill the plate; sorrel or ginger beer cools the spice. Casual, flavorful, and beloved by locals.
Brimstone Woodfire Grill
For refined comfort with a wood-fired backbone, Brimstone’s menu hits all the cravings: prime burgers with a robust sear, truffle mac, cedar-plank salmon, and slow-braised short ribs.
The dining room is lively, the cocktails are balanced, and the desserts—think warm brownie skillet—are shareable and indulgent.
It’s a go-to for date nights and family celebrations.
Padrino’s Cuban Restaurant
Padrino’s delivers the kind of Cuban comfort that never gets old: lechón asado with mojo, ropa vieja that’s silky and savory, tostones and maduros, and a classic Cuban sandwich pressed just right.
Black beans and rice are perfectly seasoned, and the flan is the move for a sweet finish.
Warm service and a welcoming room make it an easy weeknight favorite.
