Everything except for the eggs was cold. The coffee tasted like it had been sitting for an house. The grits weren't even lukewarm. The flavor was there, but I had to ask for them to be microwaved. Even the croquetas - they were delicious, but had obviously been sitting out. I'll still come back because I've had a delicious breakfast here before, but if this had been my first time - no way Jose.

It kind of felt like we were inconveniencing our server.

Huge portions, fantastic Cuban coffee, and a great vibe all around!…read more I can honestly say nothing bad to report here. From the moment the steaming hot Cuban bread with butter hit the table, I knew we were off to a great start. It was absolutely delicious. Marvelous. The cortaditos were exceptional, easily the best I had on this Miami trip (and I made a point of trying them everywhere I went). The food portions were massive, and everything we ordered was delicious and satisfying. The service was prompt and friendly, and the outdoor seating had a fun, relaxed atmosphere that really made the experience even better. Despite living in Miami for many years, this was somehow my first visit, and now it's a new favorite. If you're on the hunt for solid Cuban food and exceptional coffee, this is definitely a place to check out.

Delicious fresh pastelitos, sweets, bread, flan... A wide selection! This is a fantastic place to get party platters! Everyone in Miami has a favorite Cuban pastry and coffee place. This is mine. No one seems to make tostada quite as good as they do; a perfect compliment to a cafe con leche - oscuro of course. I love their bacalao (cod) croquetas, delicious to smash between pieces of tostada. This is strictly an interior service counter... only a couple small stand-up places to eat on-site in the hustle and bustle. Best take your order to-go, it's the polite thing to do so others can get a parking spot! After writing this, I know where I'm headed tomorrow morning!!

Would recommend when in the area.

Parking was a bit tight with only a few spaces available, but once we stepped inside, the experience more than made up for it. We were greeted by Juli, who also served us, and she immediately set the tone for a great visit. She was patient, welcoming, and took her time walking us through the menu--explaining each dish, how it's prepared, and what makes everything unique. Her commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out. She mentioned that every item on the menu is made in‑house, and it absolutely shows. Management should know what an asset they have in her. My wife ordered the Mago BLT Frita, beans (similar to refried), and a side of three croquetas--and she couldn't stop talking about how incredible everything tasted. I went with the Frita Tradicional and the pea soup of the day. We had never tried a Frita before and honestly didn't even know what to expect, but everything was delicious. The pea soup and the croquetas were real standouts--a perfect example of why in‑house preparation makes such a difference. Since we're not from the area, we weren't sure where to go for lunch, and we truly lucked out choosing El Mago de las Fritas--and having Juli as our server. Thank you, Juli. As the website proudly says, "Making Magic for Over 35 Years," and our visit proved it.

Holy smokes-Shut the front door and the back one too!!!!…read more This place has been around forever and I can't it believe that I have never been here. I had been craving a REAL Cuban frita.old school with potato sticks and all and this place did not disappoint. Making fritas for almost 50 years, Ortelio Cardenas (now over 80 and still coming into work everyday) and his amazing daughter, Martha, have really created something authentic and special. We started off with the croquetas - they are casera, meaning home made. EVERYTHING IS HOMEMADE!! I am picky about my croquetas and these reminded me of the ones I had as a kid with my grandmother using the molinero (grinder) in the kitchen. They were seasoned and fried to a golden perfection. They also have fresh juices and shakes. We opted for Watermelon juice and a Malteado (malted shake). Sooo refreshing and good! Our fritas came out soon after. I had the traditional and the hubs had his "Al caballo" which means it has a fried egg on top. If you don't know what a frita is-- imagine a smash burger but made into a perfect patty and with a blend of Cuban spices topped with your choice of tomato, lettuce, a fried egg, it always with potato sticks on top for crunch beautifully wedged in between to pieces of the best bun you can imagine. THAT is a frita. It's an experience and this is the place in which to experience it. It totally hit the spot and more than satisfied a long time craving. Best thing I've eaten in a while!!! Don't forget the cafecito and dessert. We had the home made flan, and again, I can't say enough. It's creamy and delicious and one of THE best flans I've had since Lila's closed down. I'm obsessed with the food, the very fantastically, Cuban atmosphere, and the wonderful service. There is a Cuban pride that you can't help but feel. - pride of food and pride of culture. It's infectious and I can't wait to go back! DALE'!
