Singer Gloria Estefan's restaurant is a great introduction to the Cuban flavors of Miami. Its prime location on South Beach lets you people-watch while you eat. The roasted chicken is tender, the rice and beans savory. A live salsa band plays on weekend nights, frequently inspiring patrons to feel the rhythm, as Gloria herself would say. Open daily for lunch and dinner. $$. Most major credit cards. 820 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach. Phone 305-532-9577.
