This kitchen is inside a gas station serving hot food cafeteria style. Decent variety of rices and meats. Arroz con gris is super tasty. They do breakfast, lunch, not sure about dinner. Really good prices especially for 2024. There is no indoor seating, but there is a small standing bar. Mostly designed to grab and go. Good coffee and fresh juices as well. Vegetarian options a little limited but they serve rice, yucca, fried plantains.
Best food in dade county, idk if that’s an indictment on Miami or a praise for how good this place is.
Atmosphere is a gas station and no inside eating, BUT great Cuban food, reasonable prices and generous portions to take out
I absolutely love the food, coffee and atmosphere here and have been stopping for years when traveling to the everglades or keys.
I'm Mexican and a semi driver, everytime I come to south Florida I stop here n eat the most I can, lechón congri yuca,, tostada and Cuban coffee, colada to, I love Cuban food
It is a truck stop. Not fancy but clean. No seating. You can eat there standing at the counter. In addition to wide selection of foods, cooked 3x a day, the coffee is excellent. There is a quick mart for motor fluids, work gloves, rubber boots, hats, t shirts, basic tools, cases of bottled water, canned food, snacks and cold drinks. Also sell beer but not to be consumed indoors. Gas prices are good. The servers are like family and very attentive and efficient. The food is fresh and great.
