"According to local comfort food writer , the frita dates back to 1920s Cuba where it started out as a street food. Victoriano “Benito” Gonzalez (AKA El Rey) sold Cuban fritas in Cuba prior to making them popular all around Miami when he opened this iconic diner. Often referred to as the Cuban version of a hamburger, the patty is a blend of beef and pork served with onions and shoestring potatoes on Cuban bread. While it sounds indulgent, they’re actually lean enough for you to order two. And with prices around $4 each, they won’t break the bank." - Mandy Baca
