i went to mansion for a grammy showcase last night but i refuse to yelp about it cause im afraid i will get beat up silly... so, me and my friends were starving. we left this party at almost 10pm. one of the guys i was hanging out with said he was on a budget so that kinda reduces your options in south beach, but we just walked on washington ave, see if we could find something good and inexpensive. someone pointed out cafe charlotte. most specials are 8.95$ - mostly argentinian parrilla but theres also some venezuelan dishes. we were the last group of people to come into the restaurant, as soon as we came in, someone locked the door behind . i thought we were going to be rushed out of this place but no. the service was actually pretty outstanding. the waiter was very helpful, good. i dont like to be rushed when im eating. i ordered a 'lomito sandwich."  i recommend you get it if you like meat. it comes with provolone cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and even a fried egg. oh yeah. n.f.a. (no fuckin around) and it was only 8$ - my friends had a milanesa and entraa (2 entraa - we were a party of 4). comes with a side (yuca frita, papas fritas, pure de papa, ensalada o arroz y frijoles) and it sells for 9$. this was a good deal. we ate well, watched a soccer game and even had time for some coffee after our meal. i believe the total was 46$ so yes, inexpensive, nice service and great food. i will come here more often. the only thing was that our waiter didnt offer us any alcohol and they serve wine and beer ....  im always up for some alcohol ... so minus 1/2 a star because of that!

You're in Miami. Better yet, Miami Beach. And you know what you're going to go for if you're a foodie in town - Cuban, Sushi, Italian, Kosher, Wine shops, etc.

But Miami is also about other Latin American cuisines, and in many cases, they've been fused with European cuisines. And this cafe, next to Charlotte Bakery (same owner) is no exception - it is Argentinian-Venezuelan. What makes this even more valuable is the fact that it's probably the only restaurant in South Beach offering Venezuelan fare. You can get cachapas (corn pancakes) for lunch for $4.50. There are other plates - chicken, pasta, fish, and beef, all under $10. Definitely a cheap hunger fix on the Beach!
