New in Miami: 35 food businesses the state licensed in September, from Nacho Daddy on NW Second Avenue to Brute Pizza on SW 22nd Street.

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. This roundup is drawn from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s food service inspection file for District 1, downloaded Oct. 9, 2026, through the state’s public records page, and the City of Miami’s guide to opening a business. Rebuilt monthly.

This is our first monthly look at what is new in Miami. It starts with the food businesses the state inspected for a license in September 2026. A food-licensing inspection is the state’s check on a new or changed food service business, and it often comes just before opening day. Ribbon cuttings and other openings will join the list as the city and local business groups announce them.

How we build this list

  • State food licensing. We take every first food-licensing inspection in the month from the state’s District 1 file where the county is Miami-Dade, the location city is Miami or Coconut Grove and the ZIP code is one of the 18 that cover the city. The file covers restaurants, cafes, caterers and food trucks; it does not cover shops that do not serve food.
  • What it is not. A licensing inspection is not an opening announcement. Some businesses open weeks later, and some are a change of owner at an existing restaurant.
  • Tell us. Opening a business in Miami? Send us the name, address and opening date through our contact page and we will check it for next month’s list.

Starting a business in the City of Miami

From the city’s guide to opening a business:

  • Certificate of Use first. Most businesses need a Certificate of Use (CU) from the city before anything else. Applying starts code and fire inspections, which can be scheduled only after the CU payment clears.
  • Then the Business Tax Receipt. The city’s BTR is the last step to opening. Peddlers, food trucks and businesses with no physical location in the city can go straight to it. You need a federal Employer Identification Number, or your Social Security number if the business uses your legal name.
  • County tax receipt too. Every business also needs a Miami-Dade County local business tax receipt.
  • State licenses. Restaurants and food trucks need a license from the Division of Hotels and Restaurants; many trades need one from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

What this means for you

  • Three licenses went to 866 NE 79th St., and five to 400 and 414 SW 22nd Ave.
  • Food trucks made up 13 of the 35 licenses in September.
  • Check a restaurant’s inspection history any time: see restaurant inspections.
