The May 2016 issue of V de Volaris Magazine features my own cover story about dining your way down the Florida Keys. Starting with Homestead’s favorite Mexican food places that highlight the area’s proud Mexican heritage, we take you on a convertible ride down U.S. 1 Overseas Highway for a taste of all the fresh seafood, Caribbean and Southern dishes you can sample on your way to meet the spirit of Ernest Hemingway at the famed Conch Republic.

From just-caught game to vegetarian dishes and even good ol’ deep fried delights that will have you reaching for antacids as you cross that majestic Seven Mile Bridge, we pair all the tropical flavors with equally tropically-potent cocktails, all while taking in stunning ocean views and that very “Keys” vibe.

A little eccentric and a little off-beat, the Florida Keys are beaming with flavor and character.
