Eva,
I live in Miami. I grew up here. There aren't any paleo places per se, but the city is a wonderful place. If you are in Miami proper, that is, not Miami Beach, which is a different city, I would suggest you take in the atmosphere of the Latin community. A place that reminds me of the real Latin America is El Palacio de los Jugos (The Juice Palace). This is located on Flagler Street and Red Road (56 Avenue). It is a plaza with many vendors selling everything from freshly roasted pig to coconuts (they open them for you with a machete so you can drink the water, and if there is some meat inside, the guy will open it up and make you a little scoop out of the coconut shell). The place is completely disorganized, people will order things over your head even if you've been standing in front of them. You have to hold your ground and point to what you want. If you don't speak Spanish, then it's sign language, 'cause you'll be hard pressed to find someone who speaks English there. The food is
 great. You can get fried fish roe and fresh tamales (made of corn--not paleo, but delicious!) as well as the juice of almost any tropical fruit. Try the coconut cream, mamey, guanabana (sour sop), tamarindo, maracuya.
I also recomend going to Little Havana--Eighth Street (Calle Ocho) from 13th Avenue to 17th Avenue. There are a lot of shops, fruit stands, galleries, live music at night, and a lot of life. I always tell people that I love Miami because it is so close to the US.
These are places that you won't find in the tourist maps. Also, you have to suspend your paleo for one meal and eat a Cuban sandwich or a Media Noche at Latin American Cafeteria on Coral Way and 28th Avenue. Then follow it with a cortadito (the Cuban capuccino).
Good luck to you and your husband.
Manuel
