This beloved Miami spot serves up hearty Cuban delights from a no-frills eatery and take-out window, steeped in history and community warmth.
"The thirteen sandwich variations are the most famous offerings at this no-frills Cuban diner, and justifiably so. They are big, flavorful, and priced under $12 (with many under $5), including options of pan con bistec (steak sandwich), pan con lechon (pork sandwich), and the Cuban sandwich with an add-on of croquetas on top. A breakfast of empanadas, Cuban bread, and guava and cheese pies is also a great way to go. Enriqueta’s rounds out the menu with daily specials like generous platters of pork, chicken, and beef steaks, ham salad, and even a traditional BLT of bacon, lettuce, and tomato." - Eater Staff
"Enriqueta’s is an excellent option for a hearty Cuban breakfast in a neighborhood setting. The menu lists the sweet and savory mix of cheese and guava in empanadas and pies, along with ham and chicken croquetas, tostadas, and omelets filled with cheese, sausage, or banana. Combined with a delicious cup of cafecito or colada, they have yet to meet a hangover they can’t cure." - Eater Staff
"As long as it’s not Sunday—the one day a week this classic Cuban restaurant is closed—Enriqueta’s is a great breakfast option. Breakfast specials (like eggs with a protein, Cuban toast, and cafe con leche) are well under $15. There's also a novela of big sandwiches. We generally go with the pan con bistec or the croqueta preparada, which is basically just a Cubano with croquetas stuffed inside." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Enriqueta’s is one of Miami’s best Cuban spots—no matter if you’re in the mood for a really good Cuban sandwich or just a few croquetas and a cafecito. The casual diner has been around a lot longer than most of the highrise apartments that are sprouting up around it and the space looks like it hasn’t changed much over the last decade. The menu is huge, with well over a dozen sandwiches, breakfast plates, and daily specials that won’t cost you more than $15." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"There isn’t much left in Wynwood and Edgewater that doesn’t feel new and shiny and at least $7 too expensive, but Enriqueta’s is a relic in the best way possible. This little Cuban diner has been around since the ’60s, and it feels that way. They serve great, simple Cuban dishes - and there really isn’t much on the menu over $10. They do a very good Cuban sandwich here for about $5 as well as some breakfast specials, like a classic two eggs with bacon, toast, and a cafe con leche." - ryan pfeffer
