El Rey De Las Fritas

Being from Miami, with a Cuban background,  I’ve always heard people talking about El Rey De Las Fritas.  I’ve always heard good things about this place so I had to check it out for myself.

For starters the food is dirt cheap.  I figured it out quickly why that is, it taste like dirt.  I ordered the Frita a Caballo, which came with a fried egg and our server said it was their biggest.  I could have easily eaten 3 or 4 that’s how small they were.  Under that mountain of fried and super greasy fries was a fried egg that was bigger than the piece of meat itself.  As I took my first bite, I was squirted with egg yolk and grease.  As I bit into the meat I was asking myself, “Hello taste where are you?”  I thought I was eating a piece of cardboard.  The bread was hard and the meat had a weird color to it.  I thought maybe I had ordered a veggie frita or something else.  Somehow I found the way to finish it, simply due to the fact I was so hungry.

For dessert I had the rice pudding. It was good but nothing special. Believe me I’ve had better.

I have to say the restaurant was very clean.  So were their restrooms, but the service sucked.  It took forever to get our food and the waiter rarely came around.  I don’t understand the high remarks for this place.  I’m just happy I didn’t spend more than eight dollars. My advice, go to La Carreta, Morro Castle or La Playa Café.  Don’t bother with this place, son el rey de nada!

  2. I agree with you but not all the way. The one in Bird is pretty good. They need more consistency that's for sure.
