Chefs On The Run

This small Puerto Rican restaurant in Homestead is one of our favorite places to eat mofongo. It comes with arroz con gandules, pickled red onions, and a rich bone broth you should be dunking that garlicky plantain mash into. We like ours with crispy fried pork, but you can get it with chicken, steak, or shrimp. Chefs On The Run also has an entire page of the menu dedicated to burgers so thick, you’ll have to squeeze tight to fit the whole thing in your mouth (stop giggling). There are 12 different options, like a grilled cheeseburger and a ño burger that comes with something called  “rugged sauce," which we’d like to throw in our purse and bring to every meal for the rest of our lives. It’s a very small restaurant, with just a handful of tables and patio seating in the back. Even if you don't live in Homestead, it’s worth the drive if you’re looking for good Puerto Rican food in Miami-Dade county.
