Homestead, Florida

Miami-Dade County · 289 restaurants

Homestead sits at the southern edge of Miami-Dade County, within a short drive of both Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park, and its farming heritage remains visible in the roadside produce stands and fruit stands that line US-1 south of the city. The area's agricultural economy — tropical fruit, winter vegetables, and nurseries — still employs much of the local workforce and shapes a dining scene of nearly 285 restaurants heavy on authentic Mexican and Central American kitchens serving farmworker communities. Homestead-Miami Speedway draws NASCAR crowds a few times a year, but day to day, this is one of South Florida's most agriculturally rooted dining scenes.
