Miami

A quieter mall setting in Coral Gables: Mayors at the Village of Merrick Park (Suite 1005) is an Official Rolex Retailer that also sells Rolex Certified Pre-Owned and does servicing and repairs in-house.

The Kendall option: a Mayors store in Dadeland Mall with its own Rolex showroom, authorized for both new watches and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned. Handy if you live south of downtown and don't want the drive to Aventura or Bal Harbour.

Mayors runs a dedicated Rolex showroom in Aventura Mall (Suite 177), next door to its main multi-brand store. It also sells Rolex Certified Pre-Owned, which is the quickest route to a Submariner if the new ones are on a waitlist.

A Rolex-only boutique in Bal Harbour Shops (Suite 227), run by Bucherer, the Swiss jeweler Rolex itself acquired in a deal that closed in 2024. You can book an in-person consultation to talk through a Submariner.

A sit-down dinner spot named for the chef's grandmother, serving an oversized frita: an 8 oz beef-and-chorizo patty, white cheddar, huacatay mayo and sweet plantains on brioche, with homemade shoestring fries.

A small local chain doing Cuban-American fast food, co-founded by fast-food veteran Jorge Llapur. The menu tags the Cuban Frita as its favorite: a seasoned beef patty with onion and very crispy shoestring potatoes on a Cuban roll.

Benito and Angelina Gonzalez made fritas in Cuba, came to Miami in 1973 and opened this counter in 1979; their children run it now. The original is an all-beef patty in the family spice blend, with finely cut onion and house-made julienne potatoes on a Cuban bun.

A Brickell outpost of the Cuban café that started in Flagami in 1999. Its pressed Cubano uses Bolo ham, shredded pork, Swiss and pickles, and the menu flags it as a house favorite.

Daniel Figueredo and Rosa Romero's sandwich counter, where nearly everything in the Cubano is made in-house: the bread, the lard, and pork marinated for a week before it's roasted. Michelin gave it a Bib Gourmand.

The Calle Ocho landmark that has been feeding Cuban Miami since 1971. The house Cuban stacks sweet ham, roast pork and Swiss with mustard and pickles on pressed Cuban bread, and there's a bigger "Special" version if you're hungry.
