    As you can see I took quite some photos of the meal - it's delicious! Personally I am not a big fan of burger, but this one is great. I am more pleasantly surprised by the Batidos Shakes - Mamey (a Caribbean fruit), definitely quite some sugar in it, but still worth trying! Many locals are eating here as well. My first Cuban food experience!

    I watched the Netflix documental about StreetFood and this place appeared. It was fantastic, I ordered fried shrimps, Frita suprema with the sweet plantains separated, and i dont remember the bane of the other frita. Also mango juice, and a maracuya juice, everything was great!!! All for $33 for 2 people!!

    Yes - Stop in get a de las Fritas con queso & enjoy the indulgence. Corn fritters 10/10 defintely made in house. Service is friendly. Not very fluent in English but enough to get your order in. Also a great opportunity to flex your Spanish skills. Price is very fair. Right in the heart of little Havana. Definitely worth a special trip!

    Great food, great service A gem of a foodie destination... True to their roots, honest, value for money food. Try the fritas....I could have had three of these, they were so good. Definitely worth a visit. Ticked this one off from my foodie bucket list

    Food: A Location: B- Service: A Atmosphere: A+ First time having fritas, and they were quite exceptional. Also had the steak sandwich, but it played second fiddle to the Fritas. Cafecito was also a slamdunk. Loved the diner and it looks like it probably did when it opened, which is rad.

    Came to Miami with my guy and we were looking for the best hole in the wall places and this was our favorite. We got more than we paid for it was amazing. And the vibe was so great we went there on our first and last day of our trip! We Can’t wait to come back!!!

    Some the most authentic Cuban food in the greater Miami area - I had the steak sandwich with frites and it did not disappoint. The service was also fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. The location is very close to central Little Havana and it’s definitely a “must try” if you’re in the neighbourhood.

    This place is in a strip mall and not a fancy place, but the food is a real great experience with genuine taste of Cuban food, and at a fair place. We recommend any Cuban Frita because the meat has a delicious special taste and the size is just good for lunch. The Frita Suprema is incredible, but you can customize the frita however you like. In general, they do not offer many dishes but those available are delicious and prepared with high quality ingredients! A plus: staff are amazing and this place is located in Little Havana, ideal to go for a cultural walk afterwards!

    Very tasty coconut flan! I ordered breaded fish and it was okay. Portions are big. Waiters don’t speak English well so it’s very authentic.

    Wow... Food quality is awesome. It's like you go home and your mother cooks for you. For sure they make this food with love. Service extremely nice, they treat you like a family member. I can not think in something bad about this place. If you come to Miami please come and try Fritas and the coffe is so delicious. Try café con leche because is so delicious 😋

    Cuban dinner with a retro look. We tried their frita with swiss cheese and cubano sandwich. The frita was good, the patty was flavorful and the thin frittas added good texture, the cubano was below average and lacked the roasted pork slice. The lady waiting our table was very friendly and the food came really fast. I would recommend if you want to try a typical frita, it's also inexpensive, the cheapest place we went to during our stay in Miami, which was a nice break from overpriced and underwhelming food.

    This was a different type of burger, patty was nice and tender and frita was just beyond amazing. Very crispy and not at all oily. Staff was very welcoming too, everyone does not talk in English but a couple of them do and they would take good care of tourists that cannot speak Spanish. Definitely should try this burger once when you’re in Miami. 😊

    Someone recommended this place to me, and I was not let down. I had their signature burger with sweet banana and some other stuff in it on the side. What a combo! The sweet banana really complements the burger. The service was fast, and the waiters were very helpful. I'm already looking forward to going back! 😄🍔
