El Rey de las Fritas – Calle Ocho

Frita cubana from El Rey de las Fritas
Signature Sandwich La Original frita cubana

About

Benito and Angelina Gonzalez made fritas in Cuba, came to Miami in 1973 and opened this counter in 1979; their children run it now. The original is an all-beef patty in the family spice blend, with finely cut onion and house-made julienne potatoes on a Cuban bun.

Order the original first. If you want more, the Frita a Caballo adds a fried egg, and the Suprema piles on fried cheese, sweet plantains and an egg. A batido (a thick Cuban milkshake) is the usual thing to drink with it. There are other branches in Hialeah, on West Flagler and on Bird Road.
