“ I've been coming here since the 90s and I've been away from Miami for a few years. So when I saw it still open I had to stop. The food is still the same and it's what makes this place. I had a great medianoche sandwich and I loved it. As Miami keeps moving forward it's great to see that some places continue with great quality and with more than reasonable prices. ”
“ It was a 24 hour spot and the women in there was working hard. It’s an outside corner joint no sitting. The food was average, I just gave 5 stars for the convenience, location, all woman working together and diligently. ”
“ Delicious pan con bistec (steak sandwich)!! It was tender and juicy, love the cuban bread. They make it in front of you, they made it so fast! Ordered and was out of there in under 8 mins. It's on a busy street, there's street parking, the building also has a parking lot to the right on 12th ave. Great experience, will definitely be returning. ”
“ A sketchy area for tourists but the food is delicious!! I recommend visiting during the day if you're from out of town and want to try some authentic cuban sandwiches. This place has been here for a long time, and they have kept their prices low and their food fresh. You can't beat the mamey smoothie and a papa rellena (potato ball stuffed with sausage and fried) while you wait for your sandwich to come out. ”
“ I love when I find these treasures that Miami offers . This little place offers 24 hour service plus hot good cuban coffee for 2.25!! Can’t beat that! And of course , the staff was so friendly and welcoming ! ”
“ Great place, sandwiches where very good and well made. Service was excellent and friendly. Very well kept and clean as well ”
“ This place has an incredible selection of fresh hot food, sandwiches to order, colada, fresh fruit, pastries, etc. We ordered 3 Pan con Bistec that were so delicious. We also got a plate of fried rice, also spectacular! I’d recommend anything from here because it all looks so delicious! Their colada is very yummy! ”
“ Great little spot for a corner store cafeteria style place. The pan con bistec is delicious and rivals those from Mary's coin laundry, which many locals revere as the best pan con bestec in all of Miami. While it is smaller here than Mary's I do enjoy the flavor from here more. Would definitely recommend, and if I'm in the area I will be coming back again. ”
