Little Havana Cultural Walking and Food Tour
Explore the historic streets of Calle Ocho, a neighborhood officially designated as a “National Treasure,” on our Little Havana Food Tour. Starting at the Bay of Pigs Monument and José Martí Memorial, you’ll hear the stories of resilience that built this community before diving into the flavors that define it: guava pastelitos, ham croquetas, a perfectly pressed Cuban sandwich, and a slow-cooked ropa vieja with moros y maduros. Along the way, go behind the scenes at a cigar factory, visit a Guayabera store, and pause for a Cuban coffee ritual paired with a Materva soda. End at Domino Park and don’t miss our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day. A curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available for those who’d like more.
