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.

Miami New Times

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 .

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).

Amr Osman

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

The BigB

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

Deepti Alla

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.

Travis Flynn

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

Jady Lynn

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

Jose Nanin

The fritas are amazing!!

tropicult

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

GourmetLive

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 .

Glo M

The fritas here are the bomb. I highly recommend.

Alan Fortis

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.
