    Vaca Frita topped with fried onions and garlic.
    Pedro S.

    This no frills dive of a Cuban restaurant in Hialeah has a truly talented cooking staff turning out the classic Cuban dishes with consistent quality. Order the Vaca Frita (fried flank steak) with fried onions, the shrimp enchilada, or the Ropa Vieja as great initial choices. If you want a sandwich, you can't go wrong with the Pan con bistec (steak sandwich), or Cubano. The portions here are larger than most places. If you order to-go, they do a great job of packing the dishes separately and giving you buttered toasted bread with each entree in a bag. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall with some parking. It's an older restaurant that has seen a lot of volume. I like that they open at 5 AM and do the early morning Ventanita Service.

    Taken at 3:45pm on Saturday.  Several hours before closing

    Showed up around 3:30pm on Saturday. The restaurant was almost full but the door was closed with the closed sign on. They closed several hours early because they just felt like it. Very unprofessionally. Several people tried to go in but no one opened even just to give an explanation. Avoid this place

    Chicharrones
    Addy V.

    One of the few cuban restaurants that still give out free bread! Delicious at that! Heads up, CASH ONLY. Prices are great in comparison to similar restaurants. Chicharrones are an absolute must, so delicious! We got the bistec empanizado and pollo empanizado. Good spot for typical cuban food.

    Perfect Cuban sandwich
    Sarah P.

    If you want to have a perfect Cuban sandwich, then come here. This is a no frills, no fancy decor, mom and pop local old school, old style Cuban hole in the wall. I tried their Cuban sandwich and it was authentic and just what the doctor ordered. They only accept cash. I will be back with my Cuban husband to no doubt sample some other Cuban delights.

    My husband and I went here yesterday for his birthday lunch and it was outstanding. Definitely some of the best Cuban I have had besides my mother's house! Highly recommend the vaca frita!

It was on a Friday night and they had live music playing with was nice for the occasion. With our pre-selected menu, we ordered a glass of Cabernet, their house salad (very vinegary!!! A tad bit too much in my personal opinion), and for entree the 8 oz baby tenderloin churrasco. (Shout out to one of our waiters! I didn't catch her name but she was honest with the menu recommendations and advised us to order the baby tenderloin churrasco which was a hit!). The mariquitas kept on coming around the table and we were stuffed. Another perk was how fast the service was. Even with our large group, we barely waited in between courses. If you want good Hispanic food on the fly, this is your place.

Though they have a preset menu for corporate type events, our boss was generous enough to let us select off the open menu. The decor is made to look like the inside of a hacienda with the tile roofs and stucco columns (yes you tell I'm a structural engineer :) The music was mostly 80s ballads, and service was very attentive. They even brought one of the desserts with a candle for a colleague's birthday, and took our group's photo. We started with a couple of baskets of buttered herbed Cuban bread and dipping chimichurri, as well as an appetizer sampler including refried beans, fried cheese and tequenos. The fried cheese was served on a little piece of pita bread and is a must try. I also enjoyed the refried bean soup, especially when dipped with plantain chips. As far as my main course, everyone knows how much I love cows! I enjoyed a sizable piece of churrasco, juicy even at medium well, sweet plantains and moros (here they serve it with red beans instead of black beans) and crispy house-made plantain chips. The Tres leches was also very fluffy, with a lot of cream and perfect enough to send me to a nice little after lunch nap. I also washed it down with Cortadito.
