DRINKS ONLY REVIEW I had heard okay reviews for the food but as the name suggests, you really should only come here for the juice. Perfect for the hot Florida weather, this is a must stop for a refreshing fruit drink. We stopped in and they do sell a ton of different foods inside aside from juice. It was like a Cuban Bodega with a lot of random things that was cool to check out. We got the Soursop and Passion fruit juices and they hit the spot! They are really cheap too which makes this a no brainer to go an get! read more

To go lunch on a Friday afternoon. First time visiting this location. I was impressed by the clean and simple decor. Several stations offering an abundance of Cuban/Central American cuisines for a super reasonable price. I opted for masas de puerco with two veggie sides (although there were so many others: rice, potatoes, plantains, etc). My friend opted for the patas de cerdo. Everything was delicious. My Neal could easily have fed 2 for 11.99. Servers were very kind and helpful. Parking was ample. I highly recommend if you need aquí k meal for an in redoble price. Oh! And the food is delicious read more

This review is for the juice only, but it was really good juice! After a day sweating buckets in the Everglades it is so nice to pass palacio de los jugos on the way back to civilization. Very inexpensive and so fresh. I had the passion fruit juice and it was exactly what I needed to come back go life. This should be on everyone's just stop list to rejuvenate yourself after being in the sun all day. read more

Cafeteria style mainly Cuban food, there are several locations throughout Miami and its suburbs. I have been to at least 3 different locations and have also ordered both pick up and delivery several times. The consistency is solid. Portions are GINORMOUS. I mean sincerely HUGE. There are a million selections (okay, not a million, but probably 5-7 different variations of cuts and cooks for each protein). It is a long long line of dishes in hotel pans all waiting to be consumed. I've had the carne de res guisado (slow cooked beef stew), maduros, fried rice (my aunts like this...they are from the midwest and not Miami!), ropa vieja and pork. Meat always tastes fresh, tenderand flavorful. On the end near one of the entrances, one can purchase beverages (I always get tamarindo, agua de jamaica or guanabana for agua fresca, aka fresh fruit juice). There is also a bakery area and some places have a small produce section selling cuban staples like yucca, avocados and limes. Be prepared: it is always busy but well worth the wait. read more

Completely disappointed. I have been to many Palacio de Los Jugos all over Miami and never have I ever been disappointed as I was today. Yes the place is really clean but that's all I can say good about it. Let me begin by stating that yes the ladies were all attentive and willing to take care of the clients. Nevertheless, the quality of the food was horrible. The rice was stale, and the flavoring was very bland considering the fact the Cuban seasoning is rich with flavor and what makes us Latin people soul. Aside from the food having a bad flavor when I was charged for the food because I was paying in cash they didn't give me a receipt, even though I asked for one, and I was overcharged for what I ordered. Upon looking at the food bowls, they didn't include everything that I had requested, and the portions were more for a kids meal, than an actual lunch portion. When I explain to the attendance that the bowl was practically empty She told me what other portions that we serve here and that's what you're gonna get. My main concern was the fact that I know for a fact I was overcharged because it makes no sense that for two meals and two bowls I ended up paying almost $80. read more

One of the few affordable cafeteria/restaurant choices that offers decent food at a somewhat acceptable price.

There are many locations of El Palacio De Los Jugos all over Miami area, after visiting two locations, I can conclude that all are the same lol! ^_^ Doesn't matter which location you'll visit, all of them will always have chicarones and lechon which are a must! They also have yucas and plantains which are also great. Their selections will always be plenty for you to choose from and will definitely make you want to try as much as you can. There are lots of juices as well. Multiple combinations from a lot of fresh fruits. I also tried their cafe con leche, just make sure you tell them to make it not so sweet. Service is always good and very welcoming. Lots of parking and seats too! Definitely a must visit when you're in Miami area. read more

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I went to buy food for home and the red beans I ordered were spoiled, and the lady treated us poorly. I don't recommend it. read more

Ok so I may be new to this type of cuisine, but I thought it was ok. I'm glad a had a guide, because this was one of the most confusing places I've been too. From ordering, different counters, different areas, different.... I had the ropa vieja, and please forgive me if not correct, Moro and yuca frita. The midget had the chicken with Moro and mashed potatoes. My cousin ate breakfast. Which was delicious except the mashed potatoes. I don't understand it again, and why they serve it. It's super bland. This is not very tourist friendly. If my cousin wasn't with us, we would have stood there with blank stares. Like we couldn't grab certain items from that cooler, it had be this cooler. Just mass confusion. First I love ropa vieja. This wasn't the best version, but it hit the spot. The insane amount of Moro they serve you was good too. The chicken my son ordered was just slightly overcooked. Did have decent flavor. The table favorite and by far was the absolutely delicious chicharron they had here. Finally! It was so good, and reluctantly admit I would put up against some of the best in south Texas. The gripes...man put some better signs up to control the chaos. Also, they are very generous with the sides, but then give you as little as possible for the meats or mains. Like our plates were overflowing with Moro. Balance out. I think we went a little early and they were out of a lot of dishes at the time. I will come again at a later time to try more. I think I just have to now how and what to order. read more

Picked up juices and desserts for the family on the way home. Everything was delicious and the prices seemed fair. Would give 5 stars if it was a little cleaner but overall a good choice for some fresh juice. Everything was fresh and the service was good. Very busy establishment so it was hard to find parking. I can see why since they have so many options. Food, pastries and desserts, produce and of course juice. read more

Crappy place. Food was old, tasteless and nasty. Do not recommend. The "cod fritters" were flour fritters with i don't know what flavor they put in it. Congris had too much seasoning and was green . Do not eat here. I just wasted my money. The soda i ordered was not cold. Wow! This used to be a great place to eat, well, not anymore. Very disappointed. And the lady that was serving our food had a bad mood and was rushing us. read more

The food was good very cheap and fast service if you love bodega food like Cuban sandwich and items you love it hear. The sandwich was kinda dry but it was still good with flavor and we had a mango drink to wash it all down read more

Good place to buy fruit, but they have many Cuban treats ! I found Raspadura, Crema de Leche, Guarapo, etc. They also have cooked food that they sell dinners or by the pound. The mangoes, pineapple & papaya were very good. I got a guarapo juice( sugar cane). Reminded me of my childhood. Refreshing if they put more crushed ice on the cup. read more

Pretty disgusting to pick up some food and bring it home to my kids for dinner only to have my son tell me hit bit into something crunchy. Cooks or ladies serving apparently don't wear hair nets. The quality control of preparing, cooking and serving the food is obviously not important. Shame on your standards. Won't be returning ever. read more

El Palacio De Los Jugos - Earring - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

First of all they were so rude. I went inside to place my order and the girl behind the register totally ignored me, I moved to the side to see what they had in the refrigerator and she took the guy that came in after me. I gave her such a dirty look. I called over one of the managers to tell her that her workers were rude. She was very nice and took my order. My order was simple a watermelon juice and arepa. The juice of course was good, but the arepa "yuk" I went to the car to eat it on my drive home and when I bite into it was cold and the cheese was cold in the inside, but melted on the edges. NEVER AGAIN! read more

This place is a South Florida staple for food and fresh juices. I was introduced to this chain probably about six years ago now. I've moved away from the area but I always try to stop by whenever I am down here for work. This location is new and still has the same delicious hot foods and fresh juices of other locations. Parking here is a bit bigger than the one I normally went to (Flagler). Get the mamey juice or smoothie! You won't regret it. read more

First one drink disappears, then TWO GOS Don't just come once, no, have a FEW GOS Cause for Guava or Pina I've truly never seen a Better shop than El Palacio De Los JUGOS The Palacio in Westchester makes amazing products just like all of the others, but literally had some of the angriest and meanest service of any of the locations, or any other place in the MIA. And don't get me wrong, a lot of places around here have bad service - especially a lot of the Palacio locations - but this one was nothing short of angry and mean-spirited. And not just one employee, but a whole bunch of them at the different counters. I'm not sure how people put up with this on a daily basis, and it reminded me of a really angry McDonalds. So despite my passionate love for Palacio, it makes me want to reduce and only give three or four stars. Or rather it did make me want to... but that lasted about as long as it took for me to take my first sip. They made my guava Jugo about as expertly and perfectly as they could possibly have made it. Yes, it was heaven. I was dying from a heaven of it all. And because of that, I have to give them five stars for this massive bustling Westchester location with horrendous service and absolutely perfect fresh made Juice drinks. read more

Stopped here on the way home from the keys. We were starving. I ordered a pan con bistec and took it to go. Ate it on my way home not even an hour later I was vomiting on the side of the road. Did not expect to get food poisoning today. my husband got a pork sandwich and he hasn't had any issues. I would avoid this location on my next trip. read more

Wow their portions are HUGE! I was very surprised when I walked into this venue and saw a Buffett style food serving area, they even have a separate section for seafood They have servers helping you prepare your meal so you won't have to, and let me tell you, they don't hold back on the portions, they even ask you if you'd like more, I mean, ! I had the carne con papas and it was very flavorful, the meal comes with rice, beans and whatever additional side you'd like. All for a price of less than $15 dollars that can feed 2 1/2 people or one VERY hungry human I recommend it, oh yeah, and they also have jugos which are fresh. read more

New to Miami, this place was recommended by a coworker. I visited the 8th St and Flagler locations and enjoyed everything. The first time was a Cuban sandwich at the 8th St location. It was not the best Cuban sandwich I've had in Florida, but it was good. I was amazed by the selection of pre-cooked foods, fresh fruits, and juices/shakes/smoothies. Very impressed. The second visit, to the Flagler location, was equally good. I had some sort of shredded beef (sorry, I'll have to figure out what it was; the English/Spanish language barrier basically led to me pointing at what I wanted since I didn't otherwise know). I also had white rice and sweet plantains. The quantity and quality of food were both great. Will definitely visit again and again. 4.5 stars, rounded to 5. read more

Que Rico! Love this location they always have the best fresh food. Food is priced well for the quantity they serve. They also sell natural juices and dip & dots! YUM. Best place to buy Cuban food that taste authentic. Definitely go to spot! read more

One of my favorite places for a quick meal when I'm visiting my family in Miami. Everything is always fresh and comes out quickly. My go-to order (Cuban sandwich, extra pickles and a batido de Mamey) is always tasty and fresh. Their food by the pound always looks great and judging by the number of people buying, must taste great as well. They've got pretty much everything you could want, including fresh produce. You can't go wrong here! read more

Liked- Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked - Liked Solamente Español Definitely seems authentic Big sign to help you understand how everything goes, granted it's in Spanish. But I can read Spanish better than I can speak it so thank GOD for that sign! Fried Rice Bacaalo and Vegetables Fried Plantain Shoe String Potato Sticks that came with the Cuban sandwich Disliked * Disliked * Disliked * Disliked * Disliked * Disliked * Disliked * Ropa Viaja ; Very tough and chewy The counters are so separated Some of the items didn't seem as fresh, like they'd been out for a min (Not a ridiculously long time, but long enough to not look as appetizing anymore) Cuban Sandwich was nice, simple, but not as delicious or as special as I thought it would be. Considering I saw it listed on Yelp as one of the best Cuban sandwiches in Miami.. read more

Loved it!! Probably 30 classic Cuban options to fill your to-go box. And they LOAD it up, one order easily feeds two people. Not just the rice (though you get a ton of that), they pile the meat in there too. Our group had the ropa and the palomilla. Delicious. read more

First time going to this one... cateria styled large size spit for limited produce.. but lots of food options and juice made there. Very clean. Food tastes amazing.. just very limited English so it my take a little effort to place an order but definitely worth it as they have muliple meat and fish options as well alot of options for the sides! Glad to know this place isnt too for from qhere i usually am when i have to be in south west Miami. read more

Great local place with many options. Quick and friendly staff. We ate outside. We'll return.

My son keeps asking to go back to the palace of the juices which is our inside joke. The cafeteria like options are endless and my son proclaims the arroz de imperial or imperial rice as the only reason to come here. The yellow rice is loaded with ham/chicken/light Mayo and topped with cheese.......and a family favorites that we order copious amounts of. Juices and other options are palatable but far from transcendent. read more

El Palacio De Los Jugos, where one can buy affordable Cuban eats by the pound, offers fantastic, tasty value. Things to know: ***** I. FOOD & DRINK: For a few bucks, I tried their chicharrones (both with meat and without) flattened plantains, and a Cuban tamale. *Chicharrones: I became a man after eating this stuff. The fat had an incredible amount of flavor, even though it seems only slow cooked with salt. And that crispy skin is what I imagine heaven to be. I could create a suit of this meat and eat my way out. *Flattened Plantains: Very dry and flavorless, however, filling! I wouldn't recommend it. *Cuban Tamale: I almost them more than Mexican tamales. They use yellow corn and seem bigger (that's what she said). The pork inside of it, too -- eggplant emoji. I didn't have any of their drinks, but they do offer fresh pressed juices. II. SERVICE: Quick! And everyone mainly speaks Spanish -- a good thing. So this Chino needs to learn some Espanol. lol. III. AMBIANCE & DECOR: Huge space with a decent amount of tables and chairs. It seems like more of a grab-and-go establishment. IV. PRICES: Incredibly affordable. To feed ten people one could buy party platters, for only $100! Crazy. V. LOCATION & PARKING: Super easy to find. They have a lot of their own. VI. OVERALL: One of the best bites in Miami was their chicharrones. I would return, for that beautiful, porky flesh. read more

This place is huge, and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I went for breakfast and tried their $4 platter with (three) eggs, bacon, ham, toasted bread with butter, and French fries. It also comes with a cafe con leche (coffee with milk)! It was sooo much food -- I still ate it all -- and such a great value! Kinda oily for breakfast, but still good. El Palacio also serves lots of prepared foods for lunch and dinner and I definitely want to come back sometime to try it all! It reminded me of the prepared foods section at Sedano's supermarket except there was much more to choose from. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside can get a bit chilly because of the A/C, but is a good option on a windy day because outside can turn into a wind tunnel. Outside is especially nice on sunny days though! Parking: The restaurant has a free adjacent lot, so parking shouldn't be an issue. read more

There is no other place in Miami, that captures true Cuban culture, like this. While other restaurants put out some pretty authentic dishes, Palacio de los Jugos is authentic in presentation, food and customer service. It's a giant cafeteria, with a "to-go" concept and all the fixings. Their menu is not limited, it has anything and everything Cuban that you crave. Some of my recent obsessions include ropa vieja, arroz imperial and ALL of their potajes (puréed beans). Just like grandma made it! The portions are outrageous. The containers are perfecto for sharing or if you're like me, save it for later! In addition to the already insane variety of dishes, most of the locations have a bakery section & a juice/shake section. Some locations even sell essential kitchen items such as whole fruits, beans and sauces. If you're looking for a casual, truly Cuban venue, and you're really really really hungry, stop by. You'll enter a food-coma for sure. read more

I stopped by the new location to get some pastelitos, empanadas, and croquetas before heading back to Tallahassee. As soon as I walked in I was tempted to get some of the other food because it smelt soo good, but I had just eaten. So I resisted getting the prepared food, but I got myself some pastries from the bakery section. They have a large and well stocked selection. They even had langosta (lobster) croquetas. I had to try one, and they were delicious! Very different than the traditional jamon. All of the pastries I tried were fresh and tasty when I ate them. The ones that I saved for my arrival back to Tallahassee kept well and still tasted great when reheated. Next time I am definitely going to have to try their guava y queso tequeno. It sounded amazing. Now we all know you can't leave El Palacio De Los Jugos without getting some fresh juice. I got a cup of the Maracuya (passion fruit) juice. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tangy, and very fresh. I also tried some of the Mamey and it was just as fresh and tasty. You can order their juices by the gallon or cup. I say go for the gallon! I walked through the whole store and was able to see their large selection of prepared foods. Everything looked and smelt delicious. I can not wait to return and try more on my next visit to Miami. read more
