Leave the traffic, reservations, and overpriced truffle fries behind as you take your appetite off the grid and deep into the groves of The Redlands, a rural stretch of rustic charm and agricultural backbone in Miami-Dade.
Embrace wild flavors, unfussy plates, and meals served with sunshine in The Redlands, an unincorporated community in Miami's countryside.
Offering a welcome contrast to the urban sprawl surrounding its perimeter, The Redlands boasts a quiet and relaxed atmosphere embellished by expansive open spaces, ranch-style homes, lush farmlands, tropical fruit groves, and wineries wrapped in Old Florida's rustic and, sometimes, forgotten allure.
But don't underestimate this greenbelt hideaway, especially when it comes to food!
While it may not look like it, The Redlands know a thing or two about feasting, bold seasoning, and unforgettable bites!
In fact, if you're ready to set aside those trendy hangouts and culinary hotspots for polished farm-to-table plates and family-run food stands, we know just the place, err.., places!
Here are the Top 5 Eats to try while you're here. (in no particular order)

If wine country had a Miami cousin with palm trees and guava glaze, it would have to be RedLander Restaurant, an upscale yet unfussy dining gem within the lush, waterfall-lined grounds of Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery.
Serving tropical South Florida vibes on a plate—and sometimes in a glass, Redlander's cuisine leans toward New American, as it spotlights fresh local ingredients and creative Caribbean and Latin fusion.
Here, you'll find mains like guava BBQ ribs, coconut shrimp, churrasco with chimichurri, and snapper alongside appetizers like yuca fries and empanadas to give the menu some swagger.
End the meal with a flan or tres leches, and savor each bite with zero regrets!
Oh, and while you're there, don't make the mistake of missing out on Schnebly Redland's lychee wine or avocado ale to make it a full-on Redland escape.
We promise that it tastes as good as it looks on Instagram!

Bite into a Wagyu burger while parrots chirp in the background and someone's toddler politely shares fries with a goat at Redland Ranch, a laid-back, family-friendly oasis tucked into the grove-lined heart of The Redlands.
An open-air spot celebrated for its unique Latin-American fusion with a farm-fresh twist, Redland Ranch boasts a selection of breakfast arepas, loaded avocado toast, and spinach-stuffed empanadas that flake just right.
For lunch, you can indulge in fan favorites like churrasco plates, street tacos, and a Wagyu burger that tastes even better under the shade of a mango tree.
Need a pick-me-up smoothie? Choose from their showstoppers, Tropical Dragon, Piña Colada, and Triple Berry, each one blended to order and bursting with "vacation in a cup" energy.
And don't even pretend you're skipping dessert, not at Rendland Ranch!
Their passion fruit pie is a tangy dream, their tres leches are cloud-soft, and their tiramisu will be too hard to resist!
Redland Ranch is brunch with personality (and chickens), and it's an experience you don't want to miss!

Picture your teeth sinking into crispy pork chunks under string lights, surrounded by fruit trees, a live band in the background, and a mechanical bull just waiting to test your post-dinner reflexes.
Welcome to Royd's at Gateway Farms, the most unexpectedly delightful cultural mashup in The Redlands.
Here, the menu is unapologetically Cuban-American with a Southern twist, where diners start with tamal en cazuela, croquetas, or fried green tomatoes and move onto main dishes that include heavy hitters like vaca frita, oxtail stew, and churrasco grilled to smoky perfection.
Seafood fans aren't left out either, thanks to Royd's garlic shrimp and grilled mahi mahi, both bringing tropical vibes to the table.
And if you're craving something on the go, their Angus burger and pressed Cuban sandwich never miss.
Have your meal with sides like sweet plantains, yuca fries, and black bean soup, and give it a sweet ending with Royd's guava bread pudding and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream — and no, this is not a suggestion!
Add in Royd's petting zoo, dog parks, and live music, and you've got a weekend ritual waiting to happen.

Follow the scent of grilled meat and the sound of sizzling hot plancha, and you'll end up at the unassuming food truck of Taqueria Aztlan, a Redlands weekend ritual for anyone who respects a proper taco.
Stripped of white tablecloths and mood lighting, Taqueria Aztlan banks on flavor that slaps, salsa that humbles, and tortillas that ruin all others for you — and patrons wouldn't have it any other way!
We're talking about straight-up, no-frills Mexican street food served fast, hot, and in portions that make you wonder how they're still charging what they do.
Here, the al pastor tacos are juicy, sweet, and fire-roasted with precision, and the Carne asada is charred just right.
Those sling killer burritos, crisp flautas, and tamales? They all taste like they came straight from a family kitchen.
And don't get us started on their desserts!
Their banana burrito and cinnamon-sugar churros are the mic drop!
Come hungry and bring a backup taco order—you'll probably need it.

While there's not a sign in sight that says "Come hungry," the line outside El Rey del Lechón makes it pretty clear that it isn't just another pork joint.
And, lo and behold, never did they once disappoint!
Meet El Rey del Lechon, a paradise of Cuban delicacies that wears the crown with confidence.
Anchored by their famous Lechón asado—a slow-roasted, garlic-bathed, crisp-skinned pig that falls apart the second your fork gets near it —El Rey del Lechon continues to be a must-visit in The Redlands, especially for those who like their food meaty, greasy, and inexplicably satisfying.
Here, every plate comes stacked with the right crew: congrí, yuca con mojo, and Cuban tamales that hit all the right notes.
And if you've still got room, grab a croqueta or a few slices of jamón Viking to seal your fate — they're worth the extra, extra calories!
At El Rey del Lechon, the vibe is loud, local, and unapologetically authentic, where the food's so good you'll forget to Instagram it until your plate is only a memory.
Long live the king.
