Tropicana

Tropicana in North Beach trades on the sun-drenched, Latin-inflected energy that Miami Beach has always carried. The name alone signals a certain warmth — vivid colors, tropical flavors, and an atmosphere that feels at home just a short walk from the ocean in one of the island's more residential neighborhoods. North Beach offers a more relaxed pace than the resort-heavy blocks to the south, making Tropicana a fitting stop for a casual meal that channels the spirit of Miami without the price tag of a tourist-zone address. Locals and beach visitors alike will find something to like here.
