Let’s be honest—El Rey de las Fritas in Miami is anything but average, especially when it comes to food.
This tiny, counter-service spot has been a staple within the South Florida community, serving up one-of-a-kind sandwiches that you won’t find just anywhere.
El Rey de las Fritas has a flagship restaurant right in the heart of Calle Ocho, and has been slinging delicious, homemade Cuban food to the community for generations.
A Frita Cubana is what is known as a Cuban hamburger, which at El Rey de las Fritas is served with a mixture of chorizo, pork and beef, plus topped with shoestring potatoes among other specialty ingredients.
Beyond the fritas, there are other menu item favorites, too, like the pan con bistec (steak sandwich) and even Hawaiian tostones, which are a tad smaller than regular tostones, but bring a completely different flavor.
The next time you’re stomach is rumbling and you happen to be in South Florida, snag a frita from El Rey de las Fritas and find out what all the fuss is about.
