4. LC Roti Shop
(19505 NW 2nd Ave., Miami Gardens, 305-651-8924)
If you’re in a Carnival state of mind, you’re bound to go craving for some Trini food, and LC’s in Miami Gardens is the best place to get your fix. Located in a shopping strip across from the Harley-Davidson dealership in Miami Gardens, LC’s serves up the city’s best roti, and just about every other street food staple—doubles, shark and bake, buss-up shut—you can find in Port-of-Spain. Also on the menu is owner Elsie Chin’s colorful presence, whether she’s there or not.—signs saying things like “Alcoholics are Welcome” and “Farting prohibited” let you know from jump what kind of establishment you’re in. LC’s is so good that Walshy Fire (Major Lazer, Black Chiney) made eating there his second selection in our “11 Things You Must Do For Miami Carnival” feature.
