This is the only Cuban I’ve had in my life so I have no basis for comparison. It was good but since I don’t know if it’s better or worse than other offerings, I’ll give this place a 4 but I really loved my time here as an out-of-towner.
We went as they opened. They were a few mins late opening the doors but no problem.
Our server didn’t seem to speak English too proficiently and I felt bad I didn’t know Spanish a little to communicate with her.
The inside decor was super cute. Classic, retro diner style. I’m glad I came here.
The coffee with dehydrated milk was enjoyable for me. I used to drink a lot of dehydrated milk at my grandmother’s house so it brought back a wave of nostalgia when I had it. I love that particular, kind of sweet flavor.
Looked like lots of regulars, place has apparently been around forever, seems like a solid stop to make here.
TL:DR it’s a neighborhood staple for a reason, and well worth the visit.
A relic in a neighborhood that’s been gentrified to death, Enriqueta’s is a neighborhood icon, and it’s not one of those spots where the building has history but the food is lacking. Everything we ordered was fresh and fantastic.
To eat I had the lechon with rice. It was a huge portion, none of us could finish our meals, tho it was so good we tried.
To drink I had the Cuban coffee, perfectly sweetened.
Would recommend sitting at the bar.
I recently dined at Enriqueta's sandwich shop near Wynwood. This iconic Cuban restaurant draws crowds for a reason - the food is delicious and reasonably priced. However, be prepared for a lengthy wait and less-than-stellar service. Overall, it's worth a visit for the cuisine, but patience is key. 🥪🇨🇺
