"The yellow and red awnings of Palacio are like Miami’s version of the golden arches: a sign that we have arrived at something satisfyingly familiar, except here a happy meal comes with masitas de puerco and guarapo. What started out as a single juice and produce stand has evolved into the entire county's favorite spot for quick, casual Latin food. Now, there are 10 locations throughout Dade and a menu that features everything from fresh coconut water and local tropical produce to boxes of arroz con pollo and brown paper bags of crunchy chicharrones. Almost all the locations offer a similar experience, but you may find some unique features at your friendly neighborhood Palacio: like locally-made Cuban sweets on the counter, or goosenecked avocados sourced from a neighbor’s backyard." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
