Seafood/Cuban food in Miami
We will be in Miami for a weekend in March with our kids (6 and 9) and are looking for recommendations for a cuban restaurant and a good seafood restaurant. I was planning to go to Garcia's Grille, but they are not open for dinner. We will probably be staying in Doral near the Airport but will have a car. We are looking for non-chain restaurants. Also any recommendations for breakfast and good coffee?

Since you're going to be in Doral, I can't really suggest much for seafood... or Cuban, but I'll try.
For seafood, I'm aware of Donde Luzma Seafood restaurant in Doral. Can anyone vouch for it being any good? I imagine it being average to above average, as that place has been around for quite a while.
Also, in Doral, there's several other places you can check:
Ajiaco's Grill: Colombian, late night options
Biscotti: Venezuelan bakery (pastries, quick foods)
Brasero's: Venezuelan steakhouse (try the punta trasera cut of meat)
Chispa: Very "Miami" Latin-Fusion
La Carreta: A Cuban-Miami-Chain standard
La Esquina del Lechon: Non-chain family friendly Cuban-Venezuelan (has breakfast too)
Layali Miami: pretty good Lebanese
Mojito's (inside Dolphin Mall): I thought this is a really good Cuban restaurant
Mondongo's: Another Colombian, famous Colombian chain (at least in Colombia)Happy eating!

The peculiar Captain's Tavern in South Dade is really cool and funky. Garcia's is better when you can see the ugly river. In Doral the Argentinian La Estancia is good at lunch and Korean Sakura are good. Mondongo is beloved by our Colombian brothers and sisters.
