Cindy Prado, an in-demand model, travels more than 150 days each year.
The Cuban American influencer (with 2.7 million Instagram followers and 6.1 million TikTok likes) can’t wait to return to Miami, and not just because she controls the runway during Swim Week. She tells Alexa that there are luxurious restaurants, nightclubs, and 24-hour parties. This city is impossible to become bored in.
When she’s not managing her successful fitness platform, the Prado Program, the social media maven indulges her passion for food as a co-owner of three Miami eateries (Miss Crispy Rice, Sushi OG, and Papi Churro), all of which are located within Oasis Wynwood.
Who better to ask about Magic City’s top spots? Here is the must-visit list of the strutter.
“This is my go-to place for a drink with friends in a casual setting. I have begun and concluded many memorable evenings here.”

“Miss Crispy Rice offers conventional spicy tuna as well as crispy rice topped with scallops and A5 Wagyu beef. It is one of my favorite spots for catching up with my girlfriends and eating delicious meals.”
This location is frequented by Prado for its swimming and eating.
“As soon as you enter, the aroma of sandalwood, cedar, and iris reminds you that you’re on vacation, and the hotel’s soft, earthy decor is so calming. The hotel boasts gorgeous pools and excellent dining options.”
When Prado feels fashionable, she visits Papi Steak for the Wagyu pastrami and to spot celebrities.
Thanks to Papi Steak
“Dave Grutman’s eateries win the gold for a fashionable evening out. My favorite dishes at Komodo are the wild mushroom lo mein and the truffled honey salmon. At Papi Steak, I order the Wagyu pastrami, latkes, caviar baked potato, and the Papi Steak tomahawk, as well as beverages. They are the best for a fun night out, spotting celebrities, listening to fun music, and kicking off the night if you’re planning to head out afterward.”
“This is the ideal place for a date. The Italian restaurant offers a really romantic ambience, with gentle ambient lighting and Italian music playing on the garden terrace; there is even a violinist occasionally. The food is also excellent.”
Dal Plin is my favorite Italian casual restaurant. I order the pomodoro bucatini with burrata [illustration]. It is my go-to place for takeout. The owners are a husband and wife from Italy, and you can tell they put their hearts into their daily pasta preparations. I enjoy supporting small businesses, therefore I frequently visit them when I have a need for pasta.
“Our specialty is churro-topped ice cream sundaes. We offer a variety of insanely delicious combinations, such cookie dough ice cream with dulce de leche-filled churro and guava-and-cheese churro sundae. It is simply ridiculous. Insanely good! ”
Prado considers the gym to be her “second home.”
With thanks to House of Transformation.
My second residence! It’s a small, boutique gym where almost everyone knows each other, and nothing beats working out with folks who become like a second family – you always have a training partner.”
“There is a reason why South Beach is the most famous beach. It is beautiful, and there are so many fantastic hotels nearby where you can grab beverages or rent lounge beds on the sand, providing you with a range of activities.”
