The white flesh is custard-like and sweet; the juicy, segmented pulp contains large black seeds. The aroma has been likened to a pineapple or banana, with a uniquely acidic flavor.

We ordered their catering for Christmas Eve and it was delicious. The roasted pork was flavorful and a big hit with our family. Will definitely order again for our future parties or when we are too lazy to cook and want authentic Cuban food
December 2025
Best, authentic latin american cuisine in the North Miami area. Service was very helpful interpreting and describing the homemade dishes. Menu items are made from scratch, so don't be surprised if an item is out of stock. Definitely worth visiting this local neighborhood location.
September 2024
Abuela's kitchen is the perfect name for this adorable spot. You can tell its run by the woman who makes some of the best coffee and food in NMB. Her personality is just adorable and the kind of customer service that is needed and missed in Miami. There's not much to look at but it's worth the try. However I recommend for big or fried orders maybe give a call in advance or ho there with tike to spare believe you me its more than worth it!
