"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 Cuban food. Now, there are over a dozen 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." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
