Enriqueta's Sandwich Shop - Miami

TL:DR it’s a neighborhood staple for a reason, and well worth the visit. A relic in a neighborhood that’s been gentrified to death, Enriqueta’s is a neighborhood icon, and it’s not one of those spots where the building has history but the food is lacking. Everything we ordered was fresh and fantastic. To eat I had the lechon with rice. It was a huge portion, none of us could finish our meals, tho it was so good we tried. To drink I had the Cuban coffee, perfectly sweetened. Would recommend sitting at the bar.

This is the only Cuban I’ve had in my life so I have no basis for comparison. It was good but since I don’t know if it’s better or worse than other offerings, I’ll give this place a 4 but I really loved my time here as an out-of-towner. We went as they opened. They were a few mins late opening the doors but no problem. Our server didn’t seem to speak English too proficiently and I felt bad I didn’t know Spanish a little to communicate with her. The inside decor was super cute. Classic, retro diner style. I’m glad I came here. The coffee with dehydrated milk was enjoyable for me. I used to drink a lot of dehydrated milk at my grandmother’s house so it brought back a wave of nostalgia when I had it. I love that particular, kind of sweet flavor. Looked like lots of regulars, place has apparently been around forever, seems like a solid stop to make here.

High quality authentic Cuban food, sandwiches were amazing, and the location is easily accessible!

Very good pricing for food in this area. Had the steak sandwich, just average but the meat could be better. Love the guava smoothie.

I honestly don’t get what all the fuss is about. I visited this restaurant on a weekday around 11:00 AM. The parking situation is terrible, but I understand...
