Pan con bistec, frita with fried cheese and plantains

Needed a frita to eat so where else can you go but here. Always good and fast service.

Being a native 305 I've never passed up an opportunity for a good frita and shake. This place doesn't change. They are constant, affordable, fresh food and the service is always good. There's plenty of seating and if you come early you can have the place to yourself. I ordered a frita and my coworker had a pan con biste. The food is made to order as well as it taste delicious. It may not be the healthiest choices however life is short. If you want to taste an original Cuban spot then you won't be disappointed.

"Frita" with Cheese, and "Pan con Bistec" with lettuce and tomato.
Willy V.

Best Frita and pan con bistec I've had in a long time. Service was quick, staff were friendly, and the ambiance was on point. Also had a couple of delicious empanadas (beef and guava), not to mention the "cortadito" coffee was outstanding. Recommend this location and will go back soon!

Frita Supreme.

Ever since I saw this place on mark weins youtube channel ive been wanting to go here. Im half Cuban and know about fritas. Fritas are a Cuban style burger. I was going on a cruise so we drove down to Miami the night before the cruise. The day of the cruise we came here for lunch. I would have rather gone to the OG spot in Calle 8 but the Hialeah location was on our route. This place looks like a little hole in the wall spot but don't be nervous about it and go on in! We walked in and sat down. The people working dont know much english but thats normal in miami. Our server was super nice. I ordered a supreme frita and it comes with the Cuban seasoned burger party, a thick piece of deep fried cheese, freshly made potato sticks, and sweet plantains. I absolutely loved the frita! So delicious. And I also ordered a malted milkshake. I loved my shake. My wife got a breakfast sandwich and it was awesome. Prices are super low here and you get a lot of food. They have a bunch of different fruit shakes so get one because they are so tasty. next time im in Miami I'll definetly go back.

Glad I got the chance to stop in for some of the most famous fritas around. This is not the original shop in Little Havana, but figured It would be about the same. Fritas were fresh, well seasoned, and juicy. Surprised that the onions were served raw and would prefer them sautéed as I've had at most other places. The buns were perfect little pillows of Cuban rolls, and the julienne potatoes were fresh. Tried the fries and the corn nuggets. Both came out piping hot, and were good, but nothing homemade or special. I sat in one of their booths to eat fresh and hot, and they also have plenty of counter seating. I think this would make for a perfect take out sack of fritas to bring home to the family. $5.50 each is a good price for what you get.

Went in for a steak sandwich, looks better in the picture than it tastes. Service was good. Ambiance was ok. It was ok but not for a repeat visit.

Double frita
Jose T.

A Hialeah classic ! El rey de las fritas has to be your go to when you want to try or are craving a Frita and you're in Hialeah ! Delicious! I had a double frita and it hit the spot! The meat was filled with flavor the onions and fresh fried julienne potato sticks give you another layer of flavor and crunch! They also have several other variations of the frita which I am looking forward to try. To drink they have some natural juices and shakes. I will for sure be back to try some more fritas and juices ! Great value and flavor with this Hialeah classic spot ! El rey !

This is located in the heart of little Havana. It's on a corner of the street which makes for great…read morepeople watching. It has a bunch of chairs outside with some fans blowing. They have such cute drinks! I just got pineapple juice but my friends got their coconut drink and mojito and said it was to die for! They give you these plantain chips to snack on and they are so good! It's got a sweet, salty, and crunchy chip texture to it. For an appetizer, we got a sampler which had ropa vieja, plantains, empanadas, shredded pork, and some large fried potatoes. I loved that so you get to try a little bit of everything. The ropa vieja tasted just like grandmas. They use ropa vieja as the filling in the empanadas. The fried potato's was steak fry cut style. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just how a perfect fry should taste! Everyone really liked the vaca frita! I think that's a must try! It's shredded beef marinated in this delicious citrus marinate. They fry it afterwards so it's pull apart, melt in your mount soft, with a nice crispy crunch to it. I think this is a must get dish. The desserts were delicious too! The flan was perfectly soft and creamy. The tres leches was delicious as well. This is a great place to have some good Cuban and enjoy a beautiful night out in Miami!

We came here specifically because of the Yelp reviews, so unfortunately, this one was a…read moredisappointment. For a Friday evening, the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but the ambiance was actually great. The music definitely added to the experience, especially some good Marc Anthony tunes in Spanish that I really enjoyed! The atmosphere was lively and gave us that Latin vibe we were hoping for. Our server, Diego, was incredibly attentive and really went above and beyond. At times it almost felt like he was trying too hard to make sure we were happy, but honestly, we appreciated the effort! We started with the empanadas and the avocado salad with chicken. The chicken on the salad was disappointing. It had the texture and appearance of previously frozen/reheated chicken rather than the freshly grilled chicken we were expecting. For our entrées, we tried both the steak and a chicken dish. Unfortunately, neither worked for us. Both lacked the flavor we were expecting and instead seemed to rely heavily on salt. We ended up not finishing either dish. The cocktails didn't save the evening either. I started with a lychee martini, which wasn't as good as I had hoped, followed by a Mai Tai that also could have been better. I also saw my drink being taste-tested twice at the bar before it was brought over, which admittedly left me a little unsure about drinking it afterward. And then... THE FLAN! Finally, something I can rave about. They make a VERY good flan, and it was easily the highlight of our dinner. That's all I'll say! :) Overall, the ambiance was great, the music was fun, Diego worked hard to make sure we were taken care of, and the flan was excellent. Unfortunately, when it came to the actual entrées and cocktails, the experience just didn't deliver for us. There are too many Cuban restaurants around to explore, so we'll be trying others rather than returning to this one.

We've been coming to Trigo Café for years, and it has become one of our family's favorite places…read more Julio, one of the owners, always makes us feel so welcomed and truly treats everyone like family. Our favorite time to visit is Sunday brunch, especially since they have a special menu. We recently came for Father's Day, and even though Julio was celebrating as a father himself, he was working incredibly hard to make sure every guest had a great experience. You can really see how much heart and dedication he pours into his business. As expected on Father's Day, there was a bit of a wait, especially since we were a larger party, but none of us minded. To thank us for our patience, Julio generously brought out croquetas for the table on the house, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I can't recommend Trigo Café enough. The food is consistently excellent, the service is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like home. While brunch is our favorite, their lunch and dinner are just as great, and the new tapas and wine area they recently added is a fantastic addition. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

The girl who served me was very attentive to me when I visited and helped me with any questions i had; made me feel very welcomed. When i couldn't finish my coffee she packed it up for me in a to go cup.

On this last trip, we ordered the Special Cuban sandwich is their larger version of the famous Cuban or Cubano sandwich. We also ordered the Versailles Combo Appetizer which includes a beef empanada, a chicken empanada and a ham and cheese empanada. You also get the yucca fries with the cilantro sauce. And finally you get some croquettes. Not a huge fan of the croquettes here but they are OK. As previously mentioned, we have been here several time and on this trip, the hostess said if you want to be in the room of mirrors. What? I said OK and they took us to the back, where it is a, well... room of mirrors. The way she said it made me think, should I be concerned. But it was a big open area. The whole place is very nice. We love the large parking area because this place is packed most of the time. We actually came back and ordered another Cubano for the flight home. You should have seen the people looking at us while we ate our Cubano and they enjoyed their pretzel braids. :)

My first time here. I know it's an iconic spot with comfort Cuban food and known for their churros…read more I was definitely forced to practice my Spanish. Although I'm no where near perfect I still needed a little help from Google translate lol my chicken plwte was very flavorful. I also ordered boiled yucca that came late so not in the pictures. My sister had the bistec and fell in love with it. Unfortunately I didn't like the churros at all. I think the dough was possibly old because it tasted off. I've never had a churro that I never liked. I think I may have caught them on a bad day. The servers were okay. Not too friendly but maybe they were tired. Restaurant was pretty clean and very casual.
