    Try 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.

    At 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.

    Open 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

    Esquire: 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.

    The Frita Cubana with cheese (with a fried egg - I didn't get it but I think it would had been better with one).

    Authentic 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.

    A must have for any burger connoisseur. Load it up with cheese and onions, this is not the place to cut calories!

    The 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.
