Miami New TimesApril 10, 2013There's more than just fried fish at the cash-only West Flagler seafood shack. You can order the fried oysters ($9), fried fish roe ($7), conch fritters ($9), and shrimp empanadas ($4).Upvote4Downvote

Allison NiksichSeptember 4, 2018Fried lobster!!! A little off the beaten path in little Havana but totally worth it. It’s cash only but there is an ATM inside

ThelocaltripperAugust 26, 2017The place is really clean. Calamari was delicious as well as the fried shrimp and the shrimp burrito! Only downside is that it's cash only.

Kerrie Morgeson HuberMarch 15, 2017Worth the trip. Shrimp or fish, it's unadulterated perfection. You go here to eat - not to "be seen". Go ahead and order dessert, because it keeps you there even longer-🦐❤UpvoteDownvote
Brooklyn LindseyJuly 25, 2014This place is amazing. Best snapper sandwich I've ever eaten. Clean. And the owner is adorable. Such a great family owned biz.

Casey SchoonoverMarch 13, 2019Oyster cocktail if you love oysters! Fried Fish, yellow rice and plantains is classic Cuban.
UpvoteDownvote- Miami New TimesNovember 2, 2012This hole in the wall gets packed during lunchtime but it's worth the wait. However don't expect to find anywhere to sit after ordering because it's standing-room only. Try the fried shrimp!Upvote2Downvote
Jose UgarteSeptember 5, 2016Check their fried shrimp.Very fresh and delicious. Pan con minute is also great. The best part is, it is an unpretentious hole in the wall.UpvoteDownvote
Al Gonzalez Tax Professional & RealtorDecember 26, 2012Good food at pretty good prices. Salad and french fries r a little over priced but, also good. Good service as well. If u haven't done ur taxes contact me at 305-644-4000 & u could win a 2013 mustang.UpvoteDownvote
Melissa RogersApril 10, 2013Bring yourself back to life with a huge platter of fried shrimp with tartar and habanero sauces for breakfast. The bodega next door has the best cafe con leche in town.UpvoteDownvote
Rosa VergaraJuly 13, 2015I have been going to la camaronera since I was a kid when you used to eat standing up.. Now you can sit and order . Love the place !!UpvoteDownvote- Miami New TimesAugust 15, 2014It's standing-room only come lunchtime at this longtime Flagler fish market, not only because locals flock here in abundant numbers, but also because there are no chairs.

Paul AnastacioJuly 26, 2012Awesome place... Great fish soup and actually the whole menu is awesome but bring cash as they don't accept credit cards! Thank God I know the owner, otherwise I'd be doing dishes! lolUpvoteDownvote
EaterJanuary 16, 2012Locals still love it, even if they'd rather chase its food truck, The Fish Box, around town instead of standing in line with Fieri fans. [Eater 38 Member]

Wanderley G. B. FilhoApril 20, 2018Very fresh, very clean, very good. Try the snapper.Upvote1Downvote- Miami New TimesJuly 15, 2013But at this 40-year-old fish-fry joint, you should also consider the ceviches, the fish fillet with yellow rice ($15), or perhaps even newer additions such as shrimp tacos ($9).UpvoteDownvote
Your taste buds will thank you for bringing them here! Fish is fresh, food is tasty and priced just right. Be sure to bring cash to pay your bill.UpvoteDownvote

Paula FreireSeptember 29, 2015I had the Pan con Minuta. Honestly? Blend. You have to put sauces on it to taste a little bit better.
