Keep this guide handy when looking for where to eat late at night in Miami
If you’re up late enough, chances are you’ll be having dinner #2.
Here’s the scenario: you went out for drinks with co-workers or friends, or maybe you went to a concert or a Hungry Post Sunset Party and forgot to eat.
These are the spots you’ll want. They’re casual, so you don’t have to worry about looking all dolled up. From arepas and croqueticas to ramen, you’ll find a little bit of everything on this list. The best part is that these late-night spots are good even when you’re sober.
We’ve included the closing times for each restaurant, but we recommend double-checking on Google or their Instagram in case their hours have changed since the time you’re reading this.
COWY BURGER
Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address: 223 NW 23rd St
Cuisine: American, burgers
Open Friday and Saturday until 3 AM
We’ve been having burgers left & right lately & we’re not mad about it. Cowy Burger, which started as a pop-up, has its own proper location in Wynwood.
They serve award-winning signature smash burgers, waffle fries, shakes, and some fun rotating dishes. Our favorites include The Cowy, featuring American cheese, grilled onions, a to-die-for bacon jam, and their delicious signature sauce; The Craver, with Provolone cheese, confit peppers, and the same irresistible bacon jam; and, if you’re lucky, their special Cabrito, which we think should be a permanent fixture on the menu.

UPTOWN 66
Neighborhood: MiMo
Address: 6600 Biscayne Blvd
Cuisine: Mexican, tacos
Open Friday and Saturday until 4 AM
Uptown 66 is Chef Nuno Grullon’s take on Mexican street food, made with local produce, high-quality meats, and seafood. This is an outdoor-only restaurant with picnic-style tables and high tops—there’s no indoor seating. You order at the counter and make your way to a table, and they’ll bring your food out to you.
The menu features heirloom corn tortillas from Oaxaca and a signature barbacoa made with short rib, oxtail, and beef cheek, slow-braised with Mexican chiles. Everyone loves the steak burrito and birria tacos, but on our most recent visit, we really liked the barbacoa tacos and the al pastor tacos.
TACOS ATARANTADOS
Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address: 218 NW 25th St, Apt B
Cuisine: Mexican, tacos
Open Friday and Saturday until 2 AM
Originally from Monterrey, Tacos Atarantados made a name for itself with its Northern-style trompo tacos. The Wynwood location marks its first spot outside of Mexico.
For those who don’t know, this is the kitchen concept behind Sala de Despecho, a Mexican spot that’s not quite a club and not quite a restaurant. It’s more of a hybrid with a karaoke component. And for those who are karaoke shy, don’t worry. You don’t have to get up on stage, sing by yourself, or pick a song. You can stay comfortably at your table, surrounded by friends, and sing along to every heartbreak song in Spanish. Think emo Shakira, Selena, and of course, Luis Miguel.
The reason for all the background on Sala de Despecho is because if you’re ordering food there, it’s coming from the Tacos Atarantados menu. And honestly, the best way to experience Tacos Atarantados is by booking Sala de Despecho. Technically, you can also enjoy the tacos on their own since they have outdoor tables where you can just eat and go, but the combo experience is really the way to do it.
We loved the Gaonera de Ribeye with their salsitas and the Trompo Surtido, a mix of pastor, pork, and beef. We also have our eyes on the cheesy Cachetadas with jocoque and your choice of meat. Don’t skip the sweet Cachetada de Gloria with cajeta, cheese crust, and walnuts wrapped in a truffle flour tortilla.

CONEY BURGER
Neighborhood: Downtown
Address: 1306 N Miami Ave
Cuisine: American, burgers
Open Friday and Saturday until 12 AM
Coney Burger is a burger spot that reopened in Downtown Miami with a focus on clean, high-quality ingredients using 100 percent grass-fed beef, American Wagyu, house-made buns, and no seed oils. Everything is made with care, from the pickled heirloom tomatoes to their signature Coney sauce.
Order the OG Smash Burger with double patties, deluxe American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and fresh pickled cucumbers. The Wagyu Champ features a 6-ounce Wagyu patty, yuzu mayo, and happy sauce. For a meatless option, the Coney Burger comes with a vegan patty and vegan cheese. Add a side of Sweet N’ Salty Fries, a sweet potato and Idaho potato blend, and finish with a Cookies N’ Creme shake.
Coney operates out of a small ventanita with a few indoor counter seats and is currently open Friday through Sunday only.

TACOS MARÍA
Neighborhood: Little River
Address: ZeyZey, 353 NE 61st St
Cuisine: Mexican, tacos
Open Friday and Saturday until 2 AM
Tacos María is the casual offshoot of Los Félix, serving Mexican tacos with grass-fed proteins on nixtamal tortillas. Find them at ZeyZey, one of our favorite music venues in Miami. Highlights include the Cachete taco with grass-fed beef cheeks and caramelized onions, and the Chicharrón with braised and fried Duroc pork belly. They also serve quesadillas made with housemade beef tallow flour tortillas, Oaxacan cheese, and pickled onions, plus esquites with Morita mayo, cotija, and lime.

EL PRIMO RED TACOS
Neighborhood: Downtown
Address: 179 E Flagler St
Cuisine: Mexican, tacos
Open Friday and Saturday until 3 AM
Located in Downtown, El Primo Red Tacos started as a pop-up. It’s still going strong with a limited menu of Jalisco dishes that feature birria tacos, that’s meat slow-cooked into a stew with different chiles.
They have variations of the popular red tacos Mexicanos, some with cheese, guacamole, and beans, served in corn tortillas and flour tortillas. Non-traditional dishes on their menu include the birriamen with ramen noodles and the birria smash burger.
We like to keep it simple with the quesataco served on a corn tortilla, melted cheese, birria, and a side birria consomé for dipping. We’d go here for a quick bite after going out to Lost Boy, OverUnder, or Mama Tried.

LA LATINA
Neighborhood: Midtown
Address: 3509 NE 2nd Ave
Cuisine: Venezuelan
Open Friday and Saturday until 4 AM
La Latina, located in Midtown, is our favorite stop for all things arepa and tequeños. And after a wild night out, that may be exactly what you’re craving. We recommend the Pelua with shredded beef and cheese or the Rumbera with pork and cheese. One of us is obsessed with the Cachapa, if you’re into sweeter flavors. Make sure you get an order of boliarepas with nata, tequeños or patacones topped with cheese. And don’t skip both salsitas. They have garlic and cilantro aioli that pairs well with everything.

MARY’S CAFE
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 2542 SW 27th Ave
Cuisine: Cuban
Open 24/7
Mary’s Cafe, located next to Mary’s Coin Laundry, is one of those rare ventanita finds where parking is easy and free. It’s open 24 hours a day, making it your spot for late-night Croqueticas and Pan con Bistec. It also doubles as a convenience store where you can purchase Duracell batteries, Alka-Seltzer, cigarettes, and even some Hall’s. Everything you need to wrap up the night. Please note that it’s cash only.

FLANIGAN’S
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 2721 Bird Ave
Cuisine: American
Open Friday and Saturday until 5 AM
We usually don’t talk about chain restaurants, but there is one exception. Flanigan’s or Flanny’s is Miami’s favorite family-run Florida chain that has been around since 1959. If you live in Miami and haven’t been here, it’s probably best you keep that to yourself.
It’s laid-back, all about the massive plates and lots of deals. No matter what you end up eating, get a fountain soda that comes in a reusable dark green cup with Joe “Big Daddy” Flanigan’s face on it. Leave it in your car cup holder as that subtle sign that you belong in Miami. Or bring it home and use it as the perfect-sized bucket to bathe your newborn. Trust us, it’s a thing.
Every Flanigan’s is special, and of course, there is consistency in the fishing and boating decorations. Our Flanny’s is the one in Coconut Grove, but we also like the one on 127th and 88th in Kendall.
Everyone has their Flanigan’s order. Ours is always going to be the chargrilled Baby Back Ribs smothered in their tangy-sweet BBQ sauce with curly fries. We also really like the Pasta Caesar that comes with tricolor rotini pasta and Caesar salad, plus an add-on of BBQ chicken stickers.

MOMI RAMEN
Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 5 SW 11th St
Cuisine: Japanese, ramen
Open Friday and Saturday until 2 AM
There are very few ramen shops in Miami. Specifically, ones that open up late. Momi Ramen, located in Brickell, is ready to serve you a warm, brothy bowl of noodles until midnight every day. We’d go with the Pork Chasu Tonkatsu Ramen or the Takana Tonkatsu Ramen (if you’re into spicy). Order an extra egg for your ramen and some pan-fried pork Gyozas to share.

VERSAILLES
Neighborhood: Little Havana
Address: 3555 SW 8th St
Cuisine: Cuban
Open Friday and Saturday until 1 AM
If you ask anyone to take you to the most iconic Cuban ventanita, 99% will bring you to Versailles on Calle Ocho. This Miami bakery and restaurant is frequented by locals and tourists. Stop by Versailles when you’re feeling chatty and want to strike up a conversation (that might turn into a debate) with a stranger. It might get political with all the personalities that visit this ventanita, and you should be okay with that. It’s part of the experience.
We love stepping up to the window and ordering a cortadito. You can also sit down inside and order a full meal. We haven’t done this in a while, but if we did, we’d go for the grilled Palomilla steak with white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains.

LA SANDWICHERIE
Neighborhood: Brickell | Miami Beach
Address: 34 SW 8th St | 229 14th St
Cuisine: Sandwiches
Open Friday and Saturday until 6 AM (Brickell) and 5 AM (Miami Beach)
La Sandwicherie takes us back to our early to mid-twenties (and maybe that’s exactly where you are). Whether we were in Brickell or Miami Beach, this was the sandwich that soaked up all the tequila we had been drinking. Now they’ve popped up in other neighborhoods like Coral Gables, Wynwood, and North Beach. Our go-to sandwich is the SOBE Club with turkey, brie, and avocado. Just make sure to order extra cornichons and their French Dijon-based vinaigrette. You can also buy a bottle of their signature vinaigrette to take home.
OVER UNDER
Neighborhood: Downtown
Address: 151 E Flagler St
Cuisine: American
Over Under, a favorite neighborhood bar in Downtown, serves frozen cocktails, cheeseburgers, and veggie burgers! Stop by with your friends before or after a concert, or just because from 5 PM – 3 AM for drinks, food (until midnight), and a good time. The cheeseburger from Over Under reminds us of an elevated version of In-N-Out’s burger. It’s a smash burger with Florida grass-fed beef, American cheese, shredded lettuce, onions, pickles, and a house-made 1000-island dressing.
Every bite is the perfect bite because of the way the meat, sauce, and fixins melt into one. We’re also fans of the shredded lettuce and their generosity when it comes to pickles. Oh, and the veggie burger is also a solid choice.

SWEET LIBERTY DRINKS & SUPPLY COMPANY
Neighborhood: South Beach
Address: 237 20th St suite b
Cuisine: Bar
Open Friday and Saturday until 5 AM
A classic never goes out of style, and neither does Sweet Liberty. This local favorite is located in South Beach, but don’t worry, you won’t feel the fuss of the South Beach tourism filling the space.
With the eclectic style of decor and good throwbacks playing overhead, you come to Sweet Liberty not just for the drinks but for the overall essence of the bar. And of course Chef Michelle Bernstein’s food menu like the Tater Tots with Japanese mayonnaise drizzle, schichimi togarashi, and furikake; and Michy’s Fried Chicken Sandwich.

JOE’S PIZZA
Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address: 234 NW 25th St
Cuisine: American, pizza
Open Friday and Saturday until 5 AM
This one goes out to all those friends who have stumbled into Joe’s Pizza after a night out in New York City and thought to themselves, “damn, this slice saved me.” Well, lucky for you, this 1975 iconic slice shop has found its way to Miami. We like to keep it simple with the Fresh Mozzarella slice.

SKINNY LOUIE
Neighborhood: Various locations
Cuisine: American, burgers
Make sure check each location for closing hours (they’re all after midnight)
Skinny Louie is all about the cool, laid-back vibes , speedy service, and high quality, no-frills smash burgers. The menu has three options: Cheeseburger, Classic Burger, and Applewood Bacon Burger, which you can order as a single, double, or triple patty. You can’t make substitutions, but you can remove ingredients, and even make it vegan for +$1.50 or gluten-free (for free, a rare find en esta vida tan cara). Order a side of fries or two to share, and leave room for a Choco Brownie or Strawberry Milkshake (pro tip: use your fries instead of a spoon for their iconic milkshakes).

LAS AREPAS DE MARIA
Neighborhood: Doral
Address: 8053 NW 64th St | Doral Yard, 8455 NW 53rd St
Cuisine: Venezuelan
Open Friday and Saturday until 11:50 PM (both locations)
We came back to Doral at night for Las Arepas de Maria, which opens at 7 PM. It’s a small cart with the best arepas we’ve ever had. “Bien caseritas”, crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Our favorite was La Colegiala, which was the arepa Maria had when she was growing up. It came with salty shredded cheese, Mortadella, and a Dibalito and cheese whiz Venezolano sauce.
THE TACO STAND
Neighborhood: Little Havana | Wynwood
Address: 2063 SW 8th St | 313 NW 25th St
Cuisine: Mexican, tacos
Open Friday and Saturday until 1 AM (both locations)
The Taco Stand has made its way from California to Wynwood and now with a second location in Calle 8. Inspired by the taco stands of Baja and Tijuana, this spot features handmade tortillas, fresh guac and salsas every day, burritos, fun popsicles, Mexican drinks and beer, and even churros.
This is the go-to spot for late-night eats, the food will literally cure *anything* and bring you back to life. It’s one of the only spots where you can get a true California-style burrito… and one where we don’t mind paying extra for guac.
We loved the Carne Asada Fries and the greasy Mar Y Tierra Burrito. Just a warning—you will need to go to sleep, immediately after consumption.
