7 SIETE MARAVILLAS FOOD TRUCK Miami

11334 Quail Roost Dr, Miami, FL 33157

✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Not all late-night heroes wear capes — some run grills out of food trucks and serve you arepas instead of advice, a.k.a., 7 Siete Maravillas Food Truck, a South Miami Heights staple that transforms a quiet corner into a mini Caracas after dark. 

7 Siete Maravillas is loud in the best way — laughter, sizzling meat, and the smell of seasoned steak drifting through the air, pleasing the crowd of families, night-shift regulars, and arepa devotees with flavors rooted in Miami and their homeland, Venezuela.

Think towering pepitos stacked with beef, cheese, and crispy fries; tequeños that stretch into perfect cheese pulls; and arepas so generously stuffed, you'll wonder how they stay stable. 

Here, every bite feels like a street party — hearty, unpretentious, and just a little addictive, devoured under a canopy of streetlight glow and laughter.

Honestly, street food this good deserves a fan club.

Noula Prime Haitian Cuisine

18900 SW 114th Ave, Miami, FL 33157

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery

Lunch break starting to feel too predictable? A plate from Noula Prime is the quickest way to fix your dilemma.

A Haitian restaurant that serves hearty, home-style dishes loaded with flavor, Noula Prime offers Haitian staples like griot, deep-fried chunks of pork seasoned in citrus and spices until golden and crisp, and tassot turkey, marinated, fried, and then drenched in a rich Creole sauce. 

Our favorite? It will never not be their stewed oxtail, which is slow-cooked until it melts off the bone, paired with the legume — a vegetable stew often made with beef — which carries that deep, savory flavor that Haitian comfort food is known for.

Your order comes with diri kole ak pwa (rice and red beans cooked together for a slightly smoky, nutty taste), fried plantains, and pikliz, made vinegary and spicy to cut through all the richness. 

Here, portions are generous, prices are fair, and you can taste the time put into each dish.

No, Noula Prime isn't fast food — it's a culinary masterpiece worth the wait.

Subrageous • Subs & Breakfast

19100 SW 106th Ave, Cutler Bay, FL 33157

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery

If you think a good sub can't change your morning, we're challenging you to start your day at Subrageous.

A family-run spot on the South Miami Heights–Cutler Bay line, Subrageous has risen to the top of the food chain for offering subs that pack more flavor (and fillings) than you'd expect from a neighborhood sandwich shop.

And a whole lot more!

In fact, their menu covers a lot of ground, from hearty breakfast platters with eggs, bacon, pancakes, and grits to classic hot and cold subs stacked to borderline gravity-defying levels, led by classics like the Philly cheesesteak, loaded with tender beef and melted cheese, the Italian combo with layers of ham, salami, and provolone, and the chicken Parmesan sub, baked until the sauce and cheese fuse together. 

You can also go full breakfast mode with their breakfast sub — eggs, sausage, cheese, and hash browns stuffed into a soft roll — a dose of portable comfort that hits better than any drive-thru.

Chef Chen Chinese Restaurant

11302 Quail Roost Dr, Miami, FL 33157

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery

If you're from South Miami Heights, you know that cravings have a funny way of steering you straight to Chef Chen — especially when you need "something saucy with rice."

A longtime neighborhood food spot that keeps South Miami Heights fed with Chinese-American comfort meals, Chef Chen's woks sizzle nonstop to give their patrons what they came here for — flavor, speed, and portions that don't play around.

Picture a menu loaded with your favorite Chinese takeout creations: General Tso's chicken with a sweet and spicy glaze, beef and broccoli cooked to the proper crunch, and shrimp lo mein tangled in the perfect amount of sauce. 

Their fried rice (especially the house special loaded with pork, chicken, and shrimp) earns its local reputation, and if you're into heat, the Szechuan dishes bring it without overpowering the rest. 

Meanwhile, their combination platters make ordering easy for families, best paired with a quart of hot and sour soup — we promise, you'll thank yourself later.

Chef Chen is classic Chinese takeout done the way every neighborhood wishes theirs still was.
