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.

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

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.

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.

By far one of the best places in Miami to have the Cuban frita!

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

Tasty.. I think their supreme fritas burger is more of a chorizo.. I liked it

Fantastic Frita. Fullstop. Go there, get it! And the staff is great too.

Go for the class Cubano, ask for extra pickles and mustard on the side!

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.

No better combination that a Frito con Queso and a Fresh Mango Juice. Amazing. Que Rico!

The fritas are amazing!!

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.

The fritas here are the bomb. I highly recommend.

Staff 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.

Overhyped, overrated. Don't get what so nice about it. Sandwich just tastes greasy. Only positive is the Cuban coffee.
