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.

This is an amazing Cuban restaurant for breakfast and lunch (they open early in the morning and close early afternoon from Mon to Sat). I loved this place even before entering it: it?s a very small old house with a ?ventanita? that looks like is fightingnot to be swallowed by the surrounding high rise modern buildings! Their parking lot is tiny, and you may have to drive arounda few times to find a parking spot (on the street and not free). The restaurant is always packed, so you may have to wait beforebeing seated. However, you will be rewarded by the food. We went there on a Saturday for lunch and luckily found two seats atthe counter. We tried a Sandwich Cubano ?Preparado?, which is a classic Cuban sandwich with a croqueta inside, and a Pan conLechon (a pulled pork sandwich). It took a while for the food to be served but the place was so busy that the staff wasliterally running to serve everybody. One think I notice: in the kitchen (visible from the bar) there were all women working,all always with a smile, as they were having fun. Both sandwiches were really good (the Cuban one was the best I had) and theprices are cheap: we will certainly go back.
