El Rey De Las Fritas

Great food. Good service. The best fritas around Miami.

Good tasting Frita and frituritas de malanga. The service was fast and the price is very reasonable. The batido de mamey is made w condensed milk, which is great for many Cubans. However, although I’m an older Cuban, I don’t like the after taste of the condensed milk in my Mamey shake.

I don't know why these Fritas aren't being named top burger in Florida. The flavor, the ingredients, the juiciness....this burger just doesn't miss! We need one in Orlando!

I grew up going to El Rey de las Fritas with my parents, so it has always been a place I associated with great memories and great Cuban burgers. Because of that, I ordered four burgers today for my mother and myself. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The burgers lacked flavor, were cold, and the cheese was barely noticeable—you could not see or taste it. I ordered delivery, but that should not have been an issue since I live only five minutes away. Because the food was in such poor condition, I decided to go back to the restaurant to ask if they could be remade. When I explained the situation, the woman at the counter told me that the burgers did have cheese, but that it was very little and placed on the bottom, making it hard to see or taste. She also said the food was probably cold because delivery took too long, which made no sense given how close I live. There was no effort to fix the issue or accommodate me in any way. After an awkward moment, I apologized, thanked her, took the same cold burgers, and left. When I got home and explained what happened, my mom told me she and my father had gone there a few months ago and also had a bad experience. Even so, I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt because of how much we used to enjoy it. I work in the restaurant industry myself, and while I understand that the customer is not always right, there should still be some effort to address concerns when a customer is genuinely dissatisfied. That effort was completely lacking here. If you are craving a Cuban burger, I would not recommend this location. There are two other locations in Miami that may be worth trying instead. Sadly, this one does not come close to what it used to be and feels like a waste of hard-earned money.

Being a native 305 I've never passed up an opportunity for a good frita and shake. This place doesn't change. They are constant, affordable, fresh food and the service is always good. There's plenty of seating and if you come early you can have the place to yourself. I ordered a frita and my coworker had a pan con biste. The food is made to order as well as it taste delicious. It may not be the healthiest choices however life is short. If you want to taste an original Cuban spot then you won't be disappointed.
