Spring Break on a College Budget
By Rick Munarriz, Miami Editor
A week of partying on the beach can burn both your skin and your pocketbook. If you need to live it up on a shoestring budget, South Beach has places to go to stretch a buck.
-
T-Mex
235 14th St, Miami Beach, FL
The taco joint formerly known as San Loco still serves up a ton of food for pocket change. -
Puerto Sagua
700 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL
Cheap Cuban restaurants are common further inland, but this is the place to load up on Latin American comfort food at reasonable prices. -
Pizza Rustica
863 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL
Slices are huge at this pizzeria where a little bit of dough can get you a whole lot more dough in return. -
David's Cafe II
1654 Meridian Ave, Miami Beach, FL
A popular haunt of SoBe locals, this Cuban restaurant will find your stomach saying "no mas" before your pocketbook does. -
Big Pink
157 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL
Big servings at small prices make this diner a real dollar-stretcher, especially if you share the plate load.

The Clevelander
1020 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL
No cover charges most of the time at this beachfront watering hole with its own outdoor swimming pool. -
Churchill's
5501 NE Second Ave, Miami, FL
British pub won't pound you, even if you're light on British pounds. -

Laundry Bar
