I've never made it to Enriqueta's because they close early on weekends. But I have a flight to San…read moreFrancisco today, so my wife and I finally decided to hit it for lunch before heading to the airport. Let me tell you: this place is LEGIT locals. There is absolutely nothing touristy or manufactured about it. Stainless-steel tables, red plastic baskets, a busy counter, family photos covering the walls and a dining room full of people who clearly come here all the time. And the sandwiches are HUGE. Enriqueta's, opened in 1964, is best known for its Cubano and pan con bistec, but Rachel and I shared a medianoche, a tortilla con chorizo y queso and something called the "Super Cheese" with bacon. That last one is basically an enormous griddled pile of bacon and molten cheese barely contained by Cuban bread. I also grabbed some empanadas to take on the plane. The tortilla was beautifully browned, packed with chorizo and cheese, and substantial enough to be a meal by itself. The medianoche had the proper soft, slightly sweet bread, pressed crisp around a serious amount of pork, ham, Swiss, mustard and pickles. Nothing dainty happening here. The iced café con leche is also extremely strong. I will not be falling asleep on the flight out. Best of all, we got to meet the boss herself, Lucia Plá, the beloved matriarch on Saturday morning, greeting customers. Her husband, who bought the diner in 2000, Jose Luis, passed in 2019. This is the classic Cuban diner experience--a completely different vibe from Versailles or La Carreta. Smaller, more personal and much more like Puerto Sagua: a real neighborhood restaurant serving real people, with no interest in becoming a theme park version of itself. I'll definitely be back.

The Cuban coffee was only $1.30 and the steak sandwich was unlike anything I've had before. It was a bit dry, but otherwise pretty good.

It all sounded so good that we tried a little of everything. We went with the Platano Relleno which I had never had. It was the perfect balance of sweetness from the plantain and the heartieness of the beans and cheese along with the freshness of the cream. We also had the baleadas and the pupusas which were both amazing. They tastes fresh and homemade. It both come with slaw which provides the perfect compliment. The flautas was also perfectly cooked to the right crisp without being burnt but also filled with a good portion of chicken to balance it out. We also tried one of their Honduran sodas which was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. My wife and I agreed that this place was going on our frequent spot list. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend, plus it is in beautiful and magical Buena Vista, where you can enjoy sandwiches, and hang out to listen to some live music later. Many sandwich shops in Miami are just hip, nothing else really... this one stands out, big time!

I will say that I was a little confused when I arrived because I wasn't expecting it to be a food truck. turns out they used to have another brick-and-mortar location, but the building got bought and they had to vacate head, so they're currently one of the food trucks in a little food truck park. The food truck area has good vibes, though very limited parking! (I walked from down the street a block.) The staff of Nude Pita are SO nice. The owner actually took my order that day, and we chatted while my food was being made since there was nobody else in line at the time. She told me her story and her dreams and her love for sharing her food with people... I told her I can't wait to tell everybody about it because it was such a wonderful experience, and then when I actually went to sit down and eat my food, I was blown away all over again. Every bite was divinely delicious! I absolutely cannot wait to try more from their menu.

I also tried the vegan truffle buffalo n ranch, and the tanginess from the buffalo with that truffle twist was sooo good. For the platter, I went with rice tossed in extra virgin olive oil and fresh spinach, paired with the lamb/beef -- which was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The fresh pita with tzatziki on the side just brought everything together perfectly. But honestly, the side salad stole the show for me. With cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and a few olives tossed in a delicious dressing, everything complemented each other so well. I also had the zucchini falafel with hummus -- crispy and crunchy on the outside, while the inside stayed moist and firm. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and topped with olive oil... chef's kiss To top it off, I tried both the double smashburger and the vegan smashburger. Both were so good, but the vegan one with mushrooms and truffle sauce really stood out. The chef and staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the food came out hot and fresh every time. Highly recommend if you're looking for something keto-friendly, vegan-friendly, and full of flavor. And don't leave without trying the lemonade Baklava and the vegan chocolate chip cookies. The matcha lavender was also creamy and earthy and paired well with the cookie It's only outdoor seating so come dressed appropriately if you plan on dining at the location but plenty of seats and umbrellas and very chic and cute ambiance
