El Palacio de los Jugos

El Palacio de los Jugos is a must-visit! Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The juices are amazing, bursting with natural flavors and perfectly refreshing. The variety of options and the authentic vibe make this place truly special. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area – you won’t be disappointed!

Wow!! Surprised! Fresh food and juices made just in the spot with natural fresh fruit. Very pleased! Amazing traditional Cuban food. From sandwiches to whole meals. 💯 % recommended. We will return for sure through our trip to MIA. We asked for "desayuno" breakfast plate with eggs, ham and fries, comes with a huge piece of bread. We ordered carrot juice by the gallon, and little Cuban sandwich, is so huge!! LOL They have the right prices too!! Thank you so much!

Great food with lots of options including vegan and vegetarian diets. You can find lots of fruits, desserts, soups and beans Stew, fish, meat, chicken and pork. Looking for salads? They have it... And the best pork chicharrones in town.

My family went here multiple times and told us the food was tasty, so I went. I really loved the mashed plantain, and I could see why it was popular, but I think we should have chosen another day or time. The Plantain was really good and the yuca tasted okay, however I also had the salmon, cod fritters and tequeño. The salmon and cod fritters were extremely dry, and It was a shame, because the taste was fine. I absolutely love Tequeños, but this one was as hard as stone, like it had been sitting there for a month. This review gets three stars because of the plantain, but regardless whether it's 1pm or 8 pm, you should provide good quality of food. It would also help to put the menu items in English as well, because that will make it more attractive to a wider audience, but that is just personal opinion. The fruits and treats looked delicious by the way! Sincerely, a partly satisfied customer.

Pork was ok, not dry, I should've asked for condiments for my sandwich. I was surprised after ordering that there is this huge display of cooked item that looked incredible. The place was super clean. All of the cooking appliances and visable back of the house was spotless. I will definitely try again to see if I can find a better item on the menu. Reasonable pricing. I speak minimal Spanish and it was hard to communicate. Also, no one could tell me how the buffet works. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Amazing fresh fruit juices of course! But the food! Wow, so good. Fabulous service. Run, don’t walk to El Palacio de los Jugos for some Arroz Con Pollo and fresh juice, can’t wait to come back when I get back to Miami!

One of my new favorite breakfast places! The ladies don’t speak a lot of English but we were able to communicate enough for me to grab breakfast and a fresh juice!! If you’re in the area stop by, you won’t be disappointed

Employee at the register was nice. Lots of fruits on display. Ordered pork sandwich, beef empanada and guava cheese pastry. I thought pork was dry but friend seemed to enjoy it. Beef in the empanada was extremely dry! Instead of guava cheese they gave me just a guava pastry. I want to give the place another try next time and try the juices or the cafeteria style food. Tables were also dirty….

Pro: Local chop hall. Cheap, fast, and delicious. Con: English is a bit effy here, but you could just point your way thru ordering. This is our go to place to get quick bite while in Miami, away from the crazy pricy restaurants for the IG and tourist crowd. This place is split into 3 sections, bakery, deli, and fruit bar. From the deli side, you could order items by itself or in a combo style (rice and banana). The earlier you get here, the fresher the food. Usually we hit up this place right after it opens for brunch stuff to go, the outdoor seating in the hot season is not recommended. Try this place, in many different locations all over Miami.

Im visiting Florida and I was craving fresh orange juice and this place was closest to my airbnb. The review below about the orange juice being Sunny D was NOT playing around!!! I just had to go taste it for myself. I asked if it was freshly squeezed and they told me it's prepared before hand. It tastes like it's either Sunny D or a combination of actual squeezed oranges and Tang powder! I was gonna get actual food but the Sunny D on ice really pissed me off lmao. Ps: no A/C.

Service is close to none. They do not speak a single word of English or they have no desire to. I couldn't order anything because they couldn't understand what I wanted or how much of it. It was very very difficult however if you can communicate with them the food here are authentic and plenty of options. The food does look kind of old so eat at your own risk. With my broken Spanish I ordered a large combo consisting of salmon, cassava and pork paella and another of pork ribs, black beans rice and plantain. The plantain was delicious. Paella and salmon was kinda dry. I enjoyed the mashed cassava but it has onions mixed into it and I don't like onions so I picked at it. I also ordered a side of lechon (fried pork with skin) it was not crispy but it did have a good amount of meat with the skin & fat Next we ordered some drinks and chose some juice. I somehow googled sugarcane juice and got it along with "guanabana" which mean soursop juice. The Guanabana juice was good, milky and somewhat thick and there's some ice in there altho it's hard to see. The sugar cane juice was horrible so we'll never order that there again. It tasted very much like water down sugarcane juice with a lot of sugar. Gross. On the bright side they have many tropical fruits and yummy desserts. There was mango, pineapple, papaya, fresh young coconut, sugar apple (both green and purple) Chico sapodilla, guava among others. Those were awesome and earn them a star. I saw many tempting desserts such as tres leche, flan, coconut balls and tapioca pudding. All looked yummy. If I ever go back it would be for the fruits and dessert

Blanca la peor atracción al cliente, si no está contenta con su trabajo, busque otro.

Nothing fancy here but a great place to get a cool drink. We got guayaba, parchita, and mango drinks. Parchita (passion fruit) was my favorite. Btw, it's not on the menu but ask for it. The counter service was very good but it helps to speak a little Spanish. They have lots of parking but this place gets very busy.

So many options! I just got 3 juices. Guava, soursop, and papaya. All so good and all so cheap.

I order from DOOR DASH regularly. I usually order their chicken filletilo with Congri and yuca PEQUENA size and it's enough for 2 people. I have had their carne con papa, chicharron de puerco, media noche. They have a $0 dollar delivery fee on Door Dash-and it's really consistent good food and fast.

Cheap Cuban food at a great price! My local friend took me here for our first Cuban meal. We came for a late lunch on Wed around 3, and it wasn't crowded at all. It's a small grocery store that has a huge hot food food selection as well, and it looked like there were multiple locations on Google Maps as well. It was a bit overwhelming, since I had no idea what was what and most of the workers didn't speak any English, but I managed to order a vaca frita (fried beef) plate with purple rice and plantains on the side. The portions were pretty good for the $6.42 I paid for it! My friend ordered the ropa vieja (stewed beef in tomato sauce) with yellow rice and plantains. They have some indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating. We chose to sit outdoors since it was a nice day out and dug into the food. Neither meat dish was mindblowing, but both were solid, and I really enjoyed my friend's yellow rice. I enjoyed my first Cuban meal of the trip, especially the price!

My favorite Cuban restaurant in Miami! I always order their fish sandwich with a juice. Best prices around and so cheap for a nice meal. Usually me and my friend order two sandwiches and a juice or coffee all for under $20. Can't beat the prices. There is a parking lot and indoor and outdoor seating at this location.

*Orange juice only review* -- now I'm not saying she's a gold digga But I saw them throwing out sunny d containers off the flo like jiggas And I know they don't want this to get bigga... They just charged me six bucks for sunny d on ice. And conveniently we saw them throwing out tons of large sunny d containers out in their dumping ground after tasting the oddly flat OJ... hmmm

How did I not know that El Palacio had one of the best green juices in town? and for FIVE BUCKS?!?! Absolutely obsessed with the "Ginger Reboot" & want to drink it every day for the rest of my life. Not kidding.

First time to this location and I gotta say, while the menu is similar, the juices and batidos were not. Placed my order in Spanish of course, requesting a mango juice, a mamey juice and a strawberry milkshake. The employee behind the counter was business like, accepting my order and moving on to the next customer in line. When the milkshake arrived, it was pale pink, almost white with not a speck of strawberries in fact, it had no favor whatsoever, such a disappointment. The mamey juice was watery with bits of ice, while the mango juice was fortunately, spot on. With inconsistencies like this at this location, despite the convenience of the moment, the Flagami location is far superior both in employee friendliness as well as consistency of their drinks.

Whenever I fly into MIA, my first stop is Palacio De Los Jugos. Chicharron! Arroz con Pollo! Fresh Coconut Water! Pernil! And so much more. Everything is delicious and it's arguably the best bang for the buck in all of Miami.

Great natural juices. Service is fast and people are friendly. Would go back for the delicious Mamey smoothie

TLDR: If you don't speak Spanish, you will hate this place. Unless you go with someone that speaks Spanish, in which case, you'll love this place. __ Ok. This is one of the most Miami places ever, so naturally I try and bring as many visitors as possible. In mu honest opinion they have the absolute best chicharron in town. That real deal, juicy, crispy pork skin that makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Ok. They also have a lot of other things. Basically this a food-by-the-pound operation. You can stack your little container with various meats, carbs and vegetables, have it weighed and you get a price. They also have various fresh fruits and juices that you can buy. I've had a few of the juices and they are always great. Traditional cuban snacks such as croquetas and pastelitos are also available. Now. The staff speaks little to no english. So it might be hard to maneuver around the ordering if you don't speak Spanish. You've been warned. Dale!

This location is not as friendly as the one in Hialeah. The Hialeah location is 500,000 times better than this one. The one is Hialeah will prepare your juice frozen without a problem, without attitude and without laziness and at this location in 27th Ave it is too much for them.

My Cuban amigo brought us in for a little snack before a day of delicious eating. It was a great way to start. We were only here for maybe 15 mins but we made those minutes count! There's tons of options here but we were specifically seeking out chicharrón and tamales. That pork is some of the most flavorful you'll ever have and the crispier the piece, the more delicious the bite. The tamales were alright but wavered in comparison to that magical pork skin. We grabbed some sodas too before we hit the road and continued our culinary adventure through Miami. Pro Tip: Learn Spanish before you go!

I'm not really sure why I didn't come here on my last trip. And I almost skipped them again on this trip. We weren't really hungry and we're going to take a couple of Cuban sandwiches to go and eat them later, but those plans changed once I walked in this place. You get hit with a tropical aroma of fresh fruit, immediately had me craving for a jugo. I walked around to order our Cuban sandwiches but then I saw a cafeteria style room full of food. They had seafood paella, congri arroz, Ropa vieja lechon, maduro Fritos and the list goes on. I still ended up taking a media noche sandwich but we ended up ordering Arroz congri, Ropa vieja and maduro Fritos. It all tasted phenomenal. We also ordered Jugos. I of course ordered their agua de coco and my wife ordered a jugo de guayaba. Both also tasted very fresh and were so addicting. This place was truly phenomenal. Everything we had was exceptionally good, but on top of that, it was all very cheap. I still can't believe that I didn't come here last time. Now I will stop here on every visit.

Three stars only 1. clean place, shiny and well organized. 2. Breakfast are really good prepare fresh, right in the moment. 3. Great variety of fruits and cuban treats. Very bad costumer service, rude personal, the most important down side unfortunately is the food, can't be reheated, the fish taste funny, the beans and grains looks and taste watery

What a random but fun place to go if you wanna go have a real Cuban cuisine experience but want to avoid parking problems on Calle ocho at Little Havana! It's cafeteria style and requires Spanish speaking but it's more fun if you can't speak and have to gesture your way to the food. They have all the typical Cuban eats ranging from imperial rice, tostanos, pollo etc. It's basically Café Versailles only cheaper and minus the frills and nicer setting. Btw, the juices were are really good and cheap. Highly recommend if you want to go somewhere for good cheap authentic juices. The fruits are usually tropical and local, so it's super authentic. We got the chicken stew with corn and carrots and potatoes, shrimp, imperial rice, and stewed yucca. you can't go wrong here with whatever you get- I highly recommend anything that's more stewy and more gravy b/c things that sit out a little longer tend to get a little dry. This is a huge establishment and there's parking behind the building for free. We paid 20$ for 2 giant boxes of food, like they shoveled the rice into the boxes. Very generous portions that will super fun to split among a group of friends who want to sample Cuban food for diversity. juices- highly recommend the mix fruit juice- you can order whatever combination that you want and try out fun combinations that otherwise would cost you 7$ at bougie Miami fruit juice places. I recommend the Mamey juice if you want something sugary and sweet but natural and different from any other juice out there. They speak Spanish here, so I would recommend just be ready to gesture and try out stuff, but nothing will be over 10$ if you stick to chicken and beef and if you get shrimp, you'll pay about 15$ but still monstrous proportions.

As Blue mentioned: you MUST spik espanich to have a TRUE experience at El Palacio. This place is a must visit in South Florida. Whether you want hot food, fruits, or batidos, El Palacio is the place. Chicharron, batido de mamey o de guanabana, frutas, agüacates. No doubt I am here all the time to get my fruit fix; also with great pricing too! Lots of places overcharge for exotic fruits, but not El Palacio. Exotic anywhere else but here!! Hell yea!!

My mom and I love tamal en hoja. My grandmother use to make it and we miss her cooking. We heard theirs was pretty good so we gave it a try. I must say they're very tasty! Comes close to my grandmas. Their chicharrones are also very tasty and big portions! Their food is good and it's pretty inexpensive. If people would come in and out through 27 ave (there's an opening there as well) and not 16 st, it would alleviate some of the traffic congestion that builds up that on a daily basis especially during heavy traffic.

(Translated by Google) This is a place for people who like to eat Cuban food, especially at a good price, I personally like it a lot... (original) Es un lugar para el que le gusta comer comida cubana sobre todo a un buen precio, a mi en lo personal me gusta mucho..

I am shocked to see anything less than 4.5 star review from this place. The aesthetics of the glass cases alone is enough for me to walk through and still give it 5 stars. I blame Scotty C. (otherwise known as Scooter in the Yelp world) for not going that extra Yelping mile for pork perfection! Upon walking in, I was blown away at the amount of offerings they have here. Many of the traditional Cuban delicacies I am used to and even more that I have never seen before. Fortunately for me, all of my friends in attendance are avid Spanish speakers. Otherwise I would not have been able to navigate very well. Because this was our last day after multiple on South Beach, we took advantage of our later flight time to do a culinary hop through Miami. We were here for one thing and one thing alone... chicharrones. These were unlike any chicharrones I had ever had before. As opposed to being "pork skins" like we have in Alabama. These were real pieces of pork and pork fat seasoned and deep fried to absolute delicious levels. Since we had already eaten one course of this tour and the final leg was full of dishes... I could only eat so much of the order that was placed. And looking I my pictures, this is one of the biggest regrets of my life. I really wish I could taste this just one more time! I plan on being back later this spring and hope that trip here for more chicharrones and many other items is in store.

Why 5 stars? Because these were definitely the best chicharrones I've ever had. --- --- --- I've had a few chicharrones in my day, but usually they are the kind you get in a bag, which are basically like glorified pork rinds. Those are not chicharrones. These are chicharrones. If you're wondering what they would taste like - imagine taking pork fat, giving it a thin, crispy edge, dipping it in some seasoning and placing it in your mouth. It's truly glorious. The only bad thing is that it feels like if you were to eat more than five in one sitting, you would directly need to drive to the ER before the heart attack sits in. But make no mistake, that is the ONLY negative. We also tried the Cuban tamale with sweet corn and ham, which was also awesome, but the chicharrones will forever be in my dreams.

Wasn't really in the mood to cook. So I came in to get dinner, for my mom and I. I waited for a good 25 min there was no one in front of. The ladies behind the counter saw, they didn't even turn around to help me out. Next it will be Uber Eats. People with no manners or class.

I was shocked to learn after all this time I hadn't reviewed this place after coming here over a year now. For starters, this is the greatest, "ultimate" cafeteria style place. From the moment you walk in you get overwhelmed. They have a full pastry and juice bar to check out before you even make it to the main dishes. Both pastries (pasteles, croquetas, tequeños, etc) and juices are as good as you'd expect from a place called "palace of the juices". What really makes this place stand out is it's wide selection of main courses.... seafood, meats, rices, pastas... they literally have everything. The vaca frita is my favorite dish but it's al great. The only hard part is trying to decide which of the literally dozens of dishes they have on display you want to try. Just go here and experience the magic.

I wish they had locations up in Broward or that they were within walking distance from my job. Once in a while, my co-worker goes there for lunch and lets me tag along with her. They literally have everything that reminds me of Latin food from tostones, pastries, tequenos, to chicharones. My favorite meal from them is arroz campesino. Their prices are reasonable and they have great customer service!

Omg!!! This place has some serious food and some serious portions. Food coma status. I had the pork chop which was HUGE!!! See pics. Everything was delicious.

I go to this place frequently, it is close to my house, I went today, look like they change the Cheff. The black beans were watery and very sweet, meet was with no flavor and they are serving less,I use to buy for two, now it is not enough.

The food was amazing and we were coming from the beach starving!!! Prefers two plates but one plate feed all of us. Nice friendly staff guided us through the huge selection of chow!!! Super good, clean and cheap!! Red Beans and Rice Arroz Con Pollo Roasted Pork

El Palacio de Los Jugos is a Cuban food paradise. It's a has everything from whole roasted pig, every type of seafood imaginable like calamari, shrimp, lobster, and fish entrees. Multiple different rice is served from the Cuban Arroz Moro, paella with mussels, and a few more along with a few pasta dishes. Lamb Shank, steak, oxtail, and so many dishes for reasonable prices. Also connected to Palacio de Los Jugos is a Cuban bakery that serves individual or whole cakes and pies. But it's called "Los Jugos" because of the fresh juices that can be ordered. Many types of fruits are used to make juice that I have never tried before. Unfortunately I was only in town for a short period of time so I was only able to try this place out once. But it's a must for any foodie visiting Miami.

Great place if you want something quick to eat. A big sandwich selection of course Spanish style and a great selection of natural juices as well. Had the media noche sandwich to go along with a soursop juice. Soursop has many health benefits so I always take advantage when a place has soursop juice. The sandwich was very good but the pork meat was slightly on the salty side but overall left there satisfied.

la atención al cliente es pésima se ponen a conversar entre ellas y no les importa que alguien esté esperand, compre un jugo de tamarindo 1/2 galón y sabía a cualquier cosa menos a tamarindo

Our Spanish speaking friend brought us here and thank god he did! It would've been very hard for us to communicate what we wanted here had he not been with us. The place is a huge cafeteria style restaurant pumping out all diff kinds of Latin dishes. We got: the chicharrones, the oxtail, two different Cuban pastries. The pastries were just kinda meh. But the chicharrones were gods gift to this earth. Apparently they are the best in town. This salty, greasy, fatty piece of deliciousness with forever be burned into my mind. Overall a fun spot to come to get food by the pound to go, a fresh juice or to taste your way around Cuba with this cafeteria style setup.

*Tip Don't leave without trying their watermelon juice that they freshly press. Reasonable me price for the amount of food they give you. I suggest the pork, Moro rice and yuca. Ask them to pour a Little bit of the garlic sauce. One meal can definitely feed two. Plate comes to about $10 I dislike having to pay at different sections for particular food and refreshments

I'm not sure why this place has so many negative reviews. Although most seem to be for service and the juices. I'm not a juice person so we have not tried those. We stopped here on a Sunday afternoon and there wasn't any line. We were able to place our order right away. They have a HUGE selection of traditional Cuban food ready to go. We ordered a "completa" which is basically rice, meat and a side. We got the roasted pork, some moro rice and a side of fried plantains. It came out to like $10 but was enough to feed both me and my girlfriend (we had 2 plates each) and still have left overs! The food was very good, can you find better Cuban food in the area, of course! Can you find better Cuban food ready to go and for less $$? Unlikely. One of my favorite items is their "vaca frita" which is basically crispy shredded beef with onions. Soooo good! Another must try is their pork rinds, although these are not your normal pork rinds... this is the real deal. They sell it by the pound and it is sooooooo good. Super crispy with some fat and meat still on it best I've had that wasn't home made. Keep in mind this is a cafeteria, nothing fancy here. You get your food in a styrofoam container and eat it on paper plates with plastic utensils. Service was on par with other cafeterias in the area. If you don't speak spanish it may be a little more difficult but still definitely a great place for a quick, delicious and cheap meal.

Amazing prices for exotic fruits. I like the leche de coco. A big selection of ready made foods as well.

I had the milenesa and the seafood rice. Luciana had the ropa Vieja and Mia had the Palomia and it was all good and the staff was really friendly but I have had better at some of the Cuban restaurants I have been to. The only real positive is the quantity they give you enough for 2 meals.

This is a huge food orgy with mile upon mile of stemtables with an incredible selection of different Caribbean and South American cuisine. Very little English spoken here, which was fine, and the service was friendly. The food was very bland, however, and not remarkable at all. The place was spotless and the variety was incredible, but I don't care for boiled vegetables and the rice dish I was served was not very flavorful at all. My meat and peppers dish was okay but no real pop in the flavor department. My plate was enough to feed a small family and came to about $11. I did not try the juices here. Just not my kind of place.

Yummy chicharrones and guava juice. Their Cuban food and sandwiches are the real thing. Don't expect friendliness or English though. It's a kinda "tough kind of love" in Spanish. Horrible parking. I'll try other locations!

Came here for lunch on a recent Saturday afternoon, it was my first time at an El Palacio De Los Jugos location and I was really impressed! The types and varieties of foods available at this cafeteria-style restaurant are impressively huge! On this day, the two of us shared a meal of pulled pork and carmelized onions with two sides - we chose rice/beans and yucca. We each also had a jarritos soda to drink. The food was amazingly flavorful and perfectly cooked, and though we shared 1 order, it was a large enough portion to feed both of us and we still had some left over. Pricing was good for the serving portions and the quality; had I come here alone I'd have had enough to take away and enjoy as another full meal later. We didn't try their juices, but my partner did buy a few mangos. Those were priced quite high IMO, especially considering that mangos were recently in season and one could find them on many street corners in Miami for much less moola.

Delicious fresh juices for a reasonable price. I would recommend knowing a little bit of spanish though because they'll speak it to you by default.

The food was alright, kinda cold. The attitude of the people serving it was horrible would never go back.

This was a food experience like no other. Cafeteria style of Latin America cuisine. Great food, great people and cheap prices. This is Miami at its best. Come hungry and be sure to grab a fresh coconut drink.

Great place. This is the Cuban version of a Farmers Market with added umph! You can stay in the healthy zone or wonder off into the not so healthy zone. It is a great place to go with people who have totally different eating styles. Are you a juicer, veggie, or meatie? Well, they have it all and it is all fresh. I just love this place.

A must visit for locals and visitors. Fresh juices and Latin cuisine. Try their fresh coconuts and some of their unique food and fruit offerings. Outdoor table set up

Tropical heaven on earth! Any fruit you think of to pair with the best sandwiches! Love it! And they're everywhere !

The blaring sideshow lettering and striped technicolor awning are more fitting for a freak show circus that just rolled into town, than the marvelous, home-cooking flavors and comfort food waiting inside. El Palacio de los Jugos is set up school cafeteria style for quick select, pay and go efficiency. You could choose to dine in on its unforgiving metal chairs and tables, but it's meant for you to take the containers with giant portions and go. They take their carbs seriously and you will not only get an enormous pile of porky moros (vegans beware) when you order a completa, you will get to choose another side. For me, usually it's the boiled yuca with mojo because the veggie selection seems straight out of a frozen food bag, much to my cardiologist's chagrin. My go to mains are the lechon, the roast chicken, the stewed masitas pork chunks with potatoes and the grilled chicken breast when I'm leaning toward leaner. On a naughty day, I beeline for the deep fried corner and select a strip of chicharrón and ask to chop it up for snacking on the way home. The Gallito bakery connected through a side door also offers pastries and desserts, and is a crowd favorite. I feel very fortunate to live near this comfort food palace, especially because it has solved the conundrum of what to serve during both impromptu and planned get togethers. I'm also happy to exert some self control from time to time and have plenty of leftovers for workday lunches. El Palacio de los Jugos continues to deliver value to families from all walks of life. I'm glad this flavor circus decided to stay permanently in town.
