On the shelves of B&M Market, you’ll find a row of mason jars filled with a crimson liquid dotted with pepper seeds. The unnamed Caribbean pepper sauce is made and bottled in-house by B&M’s chef. It is her own proprietary blend and it is an addictively painful masterpiece. It’s just as flavorful as it is spicy (and it is very spicy). There’s a quick slap of heat up front followed by a savory burn that lingers for a few moments before you inevitably spoon more of it over whatever you’re eating.

This Dominican sandwich spot operates like a ventanita. There’s no dining room—only an outdoor counter that Little Havana locals lean against while they wait for cortaditos and chimi sandwiches. Takeout is an option, but we like to eat at the counter so we can listen to bossa nova and the owner tell the origin story of the chimi sandwich. They happily pull out stools for us loiterers.

La Muñequita is a Little River restaurant that’ll feel eerily familiar to those who frequented Adelita’s Cafe. That’s because the Honduran restaurant took over the space. Luckily, the only thing that’s really changed is the outside is now blue instead of orange. The spirit of Adelita’s still lives on through their dependable, affordable baleadas de carne. Chowing down on one of these while Ana Gabriel’s top hits play from a speaker is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Islas Del Caribe is mostly a Honduran restaurant. But the casual spot in Flagami also makes fettuccine alfredo, Colombian empanadas, and steak and eggs. Don’t get distracted with the non-Honduran dishes (except the empanadas, definitely order those). You’re coming here for the $5 baleadas con carne, which are some of Miami’s best. It arrives with a jar of spicy house sauce that gives this economical baleada a good kick.

Tipico Hondureño is where you’ll find Miami’s best baleada. Each component is executed to perfection. The tortillas are as fluffy and bouncy as naan, and the crumbly cheese is as intense as the final round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The baleada with scrambled eggs and chorizo makes an outstanding breakfast that’s easy to eat on the move. There are exactly three chairs and one table inside so you’ll likely have to take it to go. La Casa De Las Baleadas lives up to its name.

Tejas de Honduras in Cutler Bay shares walls with a window tinting shop and a place that installs wood floors. If you have to spend a day doing either of those mind-numbing tasks, this baleada will make your day more enjoyable. To start, get the crispy enchiladas piled with ground beef, sweet tomato sauce, and a snow cap of salty cheese. If the tinting is taking a while, come back to get a massive baleada sencilla that’s creamy, cheesy, and makes your eyelids heavy.
