Eating Out After a Park Day
Florida City sits on the road to Everglades National Park. State Road 9336 starts at U.S. 1 in Florida City as West Palm Drive and runs west to the park's main entrance. That puts Rosita's and Taqueria Morelia, both on West Palm Drive, right on the way home from a park day.
Read our guide to the Everglades National Park entrance to plan the day before the meal.
Cooking at Home Instead
Some nights you will want to stay in. Florida City has two places for groceries on U.S. 1: the Walmart Supercenter at 33501 S Dixie Hwy and Aldi at Florida City Centre. We did not find a Publix inside Florida City. The nearest one we confirmed is Publix at Valencia Center, 1220 East Palm Drive, in Homestead.

How to Find New Favorites
A new neighborhood takes a few weeks to learn. A few simple habits help:
Ask your neighbors where they eat. Locals know which places are still good.
Check the county's tourism guide. Miami and the Beaches keeps a list for Homestead and Florida City.
Look at recent reviews, not old ones, since owners and menus change.
Call ahead on holidays, when hours often change.
The Main Roads to Know
Nearly every place on this list sits on one of four roads:
U.S. 1, also called South Dixie Highway, runs north and south through Florida City.
Palm Drive, also called SW 344th Street, runs east and west.
