La Palma Calle Ocho

This La Palma is a no-frills West Miami mainstay. Most Magic City natives know it is the place to get churros — basically Latin doughnuts — on a chilly night. And although the cafe con leche is sweet and typically close to perfection, it's not for dunking. Churros here can be accompanied only by this restaurant's version of hot chocolate, which is more like a melted Hershey's bar than warm milk flavored with chocolate. But who cares? Consuming calories with reckless abandon is part of the fun at La Palma.
