This is not like your typical yuppie farmers markets in coral gables or coconut grove. This is a real farmers market.

First off, the best time to get there is saturday mornings around 1030. You get the best selection of items, least amount of traffic on US1. If you're coming from the north, you can take Old Cutler, or US1, or Turnpike and get off right near there making it a quick drive from further north.  Fastest route from Coconut Grove/Coral Gables (US1-874-Turnpike-exit on 216 st-US1-244 takes 15-20min )

Unbeatable prices on produce and fruits. Peppers are quite literally 30-40% of the cost that you'd pay at Fresh Market or whole foods. Now there you get assurances of them being organic, but its still 30-40% cheaper than publix's non-organic pricing. (think $4/lb for bell peppers at whole foods vs $2.50/lb at redlands)

The best tacos there are in the stands tucked towards the back of the flea market, they have a mini restaurant setup with long benches and the like. Try the tacos al pastor.

If you eat lots of veggies like i do, its worth the weekly or bi-weekly trip to stock up. I spend $20-25/trip each time I'm here, and its easily enough for 1 person for 2 weeks of veggies. Same amount would cost me $50-60 at fresh market in grove.

I've been coming here for 6 months now, and must say this place kicks ass. I've seen dramatic improvements in my physical fitness and physique that I wouldn't have achieved on my own at a regular gym.

Bear in mind, this isn't a standard gym. Elite U specializes in cross fitness or cross training, so it combines functional lifting and motions in a variety of intensities.  I've yet to have a workout here where I am not finishing it sweating head to toe.

Highly recommend the staff and facility.

I love this place. Its primarily an Indian/South Asian grocery, vs most of the other asian groceries which are typically Chinese groceries in Miami. They sell takeout stuff made there (tandoori chicken, and other delicious stuff).

It is honestly a bit overwhelming to the non-asian cook, but they are all very helpful. The samosas are delicious too!

Think every type of indian sauce or spice you can imagine. Tons of products imported from India which you won't find anywhere else. Prices are very reasonable (especially if you compare to the asian aisle at whole foods).

You have been warned by every other reviewer that getting a seat here is tough. There is a very good reason for this. Hy-Vong is simply the best vietnamese restaurant in Miami.

If you're lucky enough to get a table without a wait, don't expect to be in and out of here quick, this joint makes everything from scratch, so food takes time to come out of the kitchen.

That being said, the Pho was AWE-wait for it-SOME. The Pork wrap appetizer we had was excellent too.  They even have a decent selection of south-east asian beers to boot.

Definitely going back to try more things. The folks seated next to us had been regulars for over 15 years. That says something.

I have been waiting for MONTHS for this place to open. Seriously, months and months have passed while I awaited its opening with baited breath. Finally it has arrived.

So they've been open like 4 days as of this writing. I had mongolian beef, and cocowok chicken, and pork wontons (don't worry, I didn't eat this all by myself). So the beef and chicken were excellent, the wontons weren't amazing (can't put my finger on it), but the main courses definitely made up for it.

The little unassuming location gives you a great deal for the buck. Great tasting food to boot.  Its definitely a welcome addition to the coconut grove dining scene.

You can now get fivefingers at footworks in south miami as well.

Just stop in here for a quick bite and was instantly enamored with the place. Try the pork buns, they aren't your typical Asian buns, more like a sandwich but incredible.

The pork ramen was very tasty with a subtle hint of spiciness. Not completely authentic, but it's a fusion place, and the noodles are super fresh.

The only thing I didn't find outstanding was the tuna.

Definitely coming back. Even though their chocolate chip cookies aren't as good as mine ;-)

$3 (12oz) stella and sapporo on draft don't hurt either

Had some excellent pho tai chin. Stopped on my way down from Canada, some delicious pho was just what the dr ordered.

Great prices, great food, what else could you ask for.

So I am always on a quest for cheap and tasty food. This place hits the mark.

If you are from latin america or ever been to south america, you'd know what a Chifa is. This is basically a chifa. Chifas are chinese restaurants with latin flavor.

This place is hard to find (its got a red awning i think, next to a coin laundry), but worth it.

Where else can you get freshly cooked fried rice, lo mein, chow mein, etc. for $4.25/pint.  Seeing as there are no chinese places in coconut grove itself, this is and chef tian's on lejeune are the only options for chinese take out nearby.

I'd recommend calling ahead and ordering. (I'll post the menu here) and then stopping to pick it up, as parking is limited (shared w/the laundromat).  

Food is tasty, not award winning/blow your mind good, but great considering its inexpensive.

Needed to get a quick bite after a long day of conferences, and saw this place. Intrigued as I thought it was an american version of empanadas, I went in.

Glad I did, the basque beef pie, which is more like a mini shepherds pie than an empanada definitely hit the spot.  Can't argue with the price $3 either.  Overall solid deal, and the free wifi also helps too. (I'm using their wifi to write this review :-)  )
