A friend took me here for lunch located on SW 8 Street (the famous Calle Ocho). It's a hidden gem that is often full of locals. Parking isn't difficult during a non-busy weekends. There is street parking or if get lucky you can park in plaza in front of the restaurant. There are booths and counter seating. I decided to have the Especial de Churrasco or skirt steak with black beans and rice. I opted for the green plantains and a side of fries. The food was delicious. The service is okay our server was not very attentive. But I will have to come back to try the fritas and churros.
Was recommended by a friend’s roommate who is doing her dissertation on Little Havana. This spot is unreal. Delicious, unassuming, and to the point. The whole menu looks delicious. Definitely a spot where time slips by..
Had my first Cuban frita with a fried egg, and now desperate to have more. Absolutely delicious and one of the best things I ate in Miami! Simple diner style with good prices.
Ordered the ham croquette sandwich, the frita with cheese and a side of sweet plantains. HOLY MOLY. Couldn’t eat it fast enough. If you’re visiting, COME HERE! No frills diner style. Cheap and delicious…can’t go wrong!
We grabbed an Uber from our Airbnb around 6pm on a Wed. It was nearly dead so our food came out in no time at all. The waitress was very sweet & the food was delicious! We ordered food to eat there & to go. We ordered several different versions of the classic fritas burger, a mamoy milkshake & empanadas. We ordered a lot of food & only paid $42, can't beat it.
Food is amazing! Burger is just different and delicious! Cuban sandwich was delicious. Staff was friendly! Cash or card payment!
They advertise that their open at 8am. That isn't so. They told me that I would have to wait til 9am to get service. False advertising. Plus wanted to update for people who want to know about a CUBAN frita. A frita is Cuban cuisine not south American nor central American. The best place to go where it is Cuban is El mago de las fritas just a few miles away. Cuban atmosphere and great service
Food was spot on. GREAT! Very easy to find in the middle of Little Havana. A must try dish in Miami is a Frita Cubana.
Awesome place for cuban frita and other dishes. I've been coming to eat here for over 20 years. The service is always attentive and go above and beyond to make sure everything is great. Icon of little Havana.
Higado dinner. Delish
