El Rey De Las Fritas is an iconic neighborhood gem in Miami, known for its simple, no-frills aesthetic and its specialty: the frita Cubana. Many customers say it’s the KINGS of the Cuban frita, with the original Cuban frita described as simply FIRE. The restaurant offers delicious food, particularly praised for the original frita, which comes in a fresh and fluffy Cuban bun filled with crispy shoestring fries, chopped onions, and well-seasoned meat. The unique taste of the fritas is often compared to the Cuban equivalent of an American burger, creating an amazing and unforgettable flavor. The service is quick and efficient, making it a great spot during the busy lunch rush. The menu also features a popular ham omelet sandwich and crispy fries that are fresh and flavorful. Guests appreciate the compact style of the croqueta, which differs from the typical creamy Spaniard version, and the Cuban buñuelos are also well-received. Many recommend trying the “batido de chocolate” (milkshake) as a delightful addition to the meal. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy conversation. While the location may not be the most glamorous, this establishment is known for providing a satisfying and authentic frita experience, making it a perfect place for a quick and tasty lunch.
