It’s hard to deny the Latin American and Caribbean influences found throughout the city. Cuban flavors reign supreme, but influences from all over are making their presences known in the best of ways.

REVIEW / Wilton Manors Foodie News from Hamburger Mary’s, Union Kitchen & Bar and More / South Florida Gay News

Two restaurants opened in Wilton Manors in the past couple of months.

While we don’t do a full-fledged review until a restaurant has had a chance to smooth things out (at least two months) there’s been so much interest in these two places that we had to take a sneak peek.
