Allow us to set the scene: you. The beach. A heated sand castle throwdown. (Your Marlins stadium replica with the retractable roof: inspired.) Eventually, you’re going to need sustenance... without interrupting construction. Below, five spots that’ll deliver to your spot on the shore. Each pairs well with a piña colada.
Okay, so you’re on the beach. Good time to embrace the whole briny excursion with some actual stuff from the sea. For this, you’ll call on SuViche to deliver their Citrus Fire roll (mango, tuna, chili-infused eel sauce) with some sashimi-style whitefish. The ocean’s loss: your gain.
It’s not a proper beach picnic in this town without the requisite pork-stuffed sandwich. Enter Miss Saigon’s classic banh mi—a crusty baguette packed with pickled veggies, cilantro and hunks of grilled pork. Actually, make it two. One for you. And one for... okay, you again.
If this were a regular ol’ day at the office, a regular ol’ salad would be fine. But it’s not. And so, your salad shall look like a fajita. One that’s tossed with sizzling steak, sautéed onions and jack cheese. Maybe throw some chicken in there, too. It’s your beach day, dammit.
Things you want to see while sitting on the shore: tan lines. Mermaids. And a crispy slice of blistering dough topped with life-affirming mozzarella and meatballs heading straight for your face. That last option comes courtesy of Moncheese Pizza. Share it with the mermaids.
Sure, you could go the traditional burrito route. But beans and swim trunks—just... no. Anyway, this is what you’ll want: a grilled tortilla stuffed with octopus, queso fresco and coconut rice delivered from My Ceviche. Just say the word and it shall be so. Hint: that word is “burrito.”
