I love el mago de las fritas. They never disappoint and every time I go I just end up ordering more and more. A real Cuban staple! Love the history on the walls and always liked seeing el mago himself at the restaurant just enjoying the fruits of his labor. Can’t go wrong with any of the fritas or the shakes.

1st time here on recent trip to Miami. WOW! delicious burgers. just amazing flavor. Chicharron was fantastic! I have never had a Cuban burger and loved it so much I had to try to recreate it when I got back to NJ. Kids loved it! so Thanks for the amazing food and inspiration, though mine pales in comparison. Lastly, Thanks for your warmth during our visit. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! Looking forward to next trip back.

This is the deal. The best frita place in Miami. 300% authentic, the service was amazing and the price was cheap in mu opinion. Parking is a quiet bit challenge but you can can find something the street behind or front. Definitely I will return.

A place I'd wanted to try for some time - did not disappoint! Got the double frita with cheese and onions with a side of beans, everything turned out amazing!

Absolutely the best Fritas around this is a must go to place. I could eat here everyday. The best service just ask for Maria tell her I sent you.

After watching George Motz Burger Scholar Session,had to try this place. It's just a small place,but amazing Fritas await inside.One word of warning, there's limited parking directly in front. Staff was very friendly, but the star is the Fritas,just so good,never had anything like it. Highly recommend this place!

The people who work in this place are awesome. They are like a family. Very detail oriented in their attention to the client. Real Cuban taste. Awesome food

2023: Great fritas and hot dog. Don't forget the smoothies and the juices which were both outstanding.

Outstanding and classic Cuban diner with great sandwiches and the nicest people. Definitely a do not miss in Little Havana to get the authentic Miami Cuban experience.

This place is truly unique! It serves the best Cuban burger around, and with almost 40 years in business, it's a testament to its excellence. The passion of the staff shines through in every dish they prepare. It's truly a one-of-a-kind spot!

Wow we loved our experience with el mago. You can manufacturer this atmosphere. The people working and eating there were like family. Within minutes of walking in we were joking and having a great time with everyone and we really felt like family. The food was delicious and I can't wait to come back. For those that were there with us you are welcome at our home any time when you visit Utah. Thank you for the great meal and the great evening.

Excellent food! Best frita in town!

The frita a caballo I had here was one of the best sandwiches I have ever tried in my life. The amount of flavor they were able to achieve was incredible. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and they took the time to explain everything to me and provided me great reccomendations. This is a must visit for anyone who likes sandwiches.

Great cuban food and even better service. Love the counter to watch the magic happen. Cuban Burger and the Croquetas are 😋 Black beans side is seasoned to perfection.

There are reserved parking spots right in front of the business (I think 3). Parking elsewhere is doable but read the signs carefully. We came on a weekday around noon and were able to be seated right away. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and helpful. The mango smoothie was delicious and the burger was amazing. Next time, I think I would skip the side order of fries and just ordered another burger, which are small but packed with flavor. Their homemade flan (made by El Mago himself) didn’t disappoint! Can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend!

The BEST frita (Cuban hamburger) in Miami. hands down. I had the Europa Frita, with fries. These will become the gold standard of fries. Crispy outside, soft inside, cooked to order. The frita exploded with Cuban flavors. Prices are great too.

This was my best experience in Miami. The Frita burgers and fries were delicious along with the patented sauces. It is a mixture of chorizo and ground meat. Very delicious! The restaurant employees were also amazing and hospitable.

We loved this place. The staff was so friendly and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town

This was a fine frita but let me be clear , it wasn't the best. I wish the patty had a little more flavor, it wasn't overly greasy which was good. But, it didn't have enough of that meat and chorizo flavor. Also, my mamey smoothie was not very good, tasted like table sugar. It seems that the best smoothies now a days are made with the ice cream instead of the real fruit.

Good food. Good service. Small joint with limited space but typical Cuban family restaurant. Old man was still there after all these years and the daughter was manning the grill. Love the family vibe

Most excellent establishment!! I enjoyed a Cubana Frita!! WOW!! What a burger!! Also, had a coconut side and flan for dessert. Nice little spot south of Miami International. A defiant stop on my next visit to South Florida!

Best frita in Miami. Small place with great service and excellent food. Great place to sit down and relax. Most days El Mago is there. He is super and loves making sure you get that special treatment and great quality with superior service. Love seeing a restaurant that the owner is still there. It gives it a special home feeling. For sure would recommend if you havent tried yet.

Amazing atmosphere, transports you away to Cuba. Fantastic food and friendly ownership. An experience any foodie would love to have

Food was great fresh as can be absolutely must in Miami Authentic Fritas and the wait staff was amazing food was cheap to portions intense….

Best place in Miami for Fritas!! When u walk in you feel like you’re in your family’s house. Everyone’s always welcome and they love getting to know u!

Love this place. Family style with unique Cuban Food. Staff are so friendly. Love to meet Mr El Mago. He is so sweet.

Excellent Cuban burgers (Fritas). You can get single or double patty with a fried egg. I wish my belly was big enough to try everything.

I absolutely love their Frita a Cavallo! Let’s not forget the aioli, hot sauce, and great customer service. We have been here quite a few times and it is always better than I remembered. Totally worth the 40 min drive.

By far, the BEST Frita in the world! The secret recipe is in fact something priceless! Highly recommend it and once you have one, you’ll need another. My trips to Miami from Connecticut always include a stop to visit El Mago, who’s always there, making sure the quality is consistently the best!
