About El Turco Express

El Turco Express is a fast and delicious grab-and-go spot serving authentic Turkish cuisine. It offers wraps, bowls, and over-rice plates with bold Turkish flavors. The restaurant is located inside the Brightline station in the public lobby and is also found in the Miami Design District. The setting is beautiful, with a super lush, tropical garden vibe and beautiful tree-shaded outdoor seating that feels like a little jungle oasis.

The food is excellent, incredibly fresh, and bright. Standout dishes include the protein bowls with chicken or braised beef, the El Turco Salad, the Vegetarian Bowl, and the Lahmacun. Other highlights are the Manti, the Kavurma Braised Beef, the Pilav with Kavurma, a bulgar dish with pomegranate, and sides like hummus, tabbouleh, and grape leaves. The Baklava is a perfect sweet end. Servings are typically enough for a meal.

Service is fast, friendly, and attentive, with warm hospitality. It is a perfect spot for a satisfying quick lunch or even a non-traditional holiday meal. While the food can be pricey, the experience is highly recommended for anyone craving healthy, flavorful, and reliable Turkish food.
