Oleg KupershmidtApril 13, 2013Try water mellon juice, it's amazing. Then the burgers (fritos), these are very different from you typical American burgers, try any one of them even if you quit eating burgers, you will love them.
Miami New TimesApril 10, 2013At El Mago de las Fritas, the hamburger is made up of a patty mixed with fresh-ground spiced sausage, layered with thin fried potatoes, and all plunked between two slabs of soft white bread.- Travel ChannelApril 1, 2013Open since the 1960’s, this restaurant is where El Mago de las Fritas got its start. Try the frita, topped with homemade thin fried potatoes. As seen on Travel Channel’s Burger Land. Read more
MarcJanuary 12, 2021Esquire: A frita (as interpreted by El Rey) is basically a burger on an airy Cuban bun with an avalanche of shoestring fries and a sweet paste of sautéed onions.- MiamiCulinaryTours.comSeptember 23, 2015By far one of the best places in Miami to have the Cuban frita!
- The Tastes that Make the CityApril 13, 2015The frita con queso is the best burger in Miami, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Miami. Read more
Jocelyn TranApril 7, 2015The Frita Cubana with cheese (with a fried egg - I didn't get it but I think it would had been better with one).
Amr OsmanSeptember 25, 2022Tasty.. I think their supreme fritas burger is more of a chorizo.. I liked it
Deepti AllaMay 8, 2015Authentic Cuban sandwiches. I wish they had someone who could speak English there. I do not eat beef and I could not get guidance on what to choose. Poor service but good food.
Jady LynnMay 6, 2013No better combination that a Frito con Queso and a Fresh Mango Juice. Amazing. Que Rico!
tropicultJune 25, 2012A must have for any burger connoisseur. Load it up with cheese and onions, this is not the place to cut calories!
GourmetLiveOctober 18, 2010The frita—El Rey’s specialty—is an alchemical creation of paper-thin fries, cheese, onions, and secret sauce crowning a chorizo patty, all squished between two pieces of crusty bread.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Michael Schwartz, chef of Michael’s Genuine, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Frita caballo. Read more
Alex RocaFebruary 24, 2011Una frita con queso y jugo de melon! Been having it since i wuz like 7 this is da placeeee! :-)
Sit at the counter. Order a frita con queso. Wash it down with a batido de mamey. Smile.
El Original and still as great as you remembered it!
mariajoseJuly 16, 2012Staff here is horrible. Twice I've had to blow up a storm for waiting 10 minutes for someone to help me while there less than 5 customers inside and staff just kept chatting while I waited.
Halil KaşkavalcıSeptember 19, 2011Waitress doesn't really speak english but they are really funny ans friendly.
TingSeptember 12, 2015Overhyped, overrated. Don't get what so nice about it. Sandwich just tastes greasy. Only positive is the Cuban coffee.

"Jugo de mora (grape juice) is surprisingly good. Great chicharron. Good yuca. Skip the Cubano and rice and beans"
