Like Mexico, Florida, including the fine city of Miami, is a former Spanish colony and was the easternmost outpost of the great Spanish Empire. It was incorporated in the United States in the 1810s and became a state in 1819. Thus, Miami shares a history with Mexico, having been administered as part of the Mexican Viceroyalty until it became a part of the United States. As a result, Florida partially shares a similar culture with Mexico, but not that much, since it was detached from the Spanish Empire before Mexico became independent. Mexican food can be considered a part of this shared culture, due to its Hispanic cuisine. Here are some of the best Mexican restaurants in Miami, Florida, so take your pick and enjoy eating!

Miami Tour Guide
Alexander Gorn
I was born in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, in the Soviet Union, and left for the USA when I was 23 years old, just out of college. Leningrad was and still is a city with great cultural traditions. I fell in love with its world-famous museums, art galleries, theaters, and other attractions. I have been guiding tours for most of my life and began while still in high school. During the summer, Leningrad was visited by numerous youth groups from the UK and USA and English-speaking students were recruited to show them around. That is how I got my first taste of being a tour guide. I continued guiding through college and often worked with young adults. After leaving the USSR, I settled in New York City, went to graduate school, and started my own travel company in 1985. We primarily worked with international visitors showing them famous places of interest all over the country, from coast to coast. Though I had other tour guides working at my company, I continued to guide because it was rewarding and enjoyable. I traveled extensively throughout the country and that's how I first became acquainted with South Florida. I instantly fell in love with this beautiful place and eventually moved to the Miami Beach area. I love South Florida and want my tourists to feel the same way. I am exhilarated by its nature and history and I promise to get you excited as well. See you in Miami!
