This place is awesome. We had fresh juices, café con leche, classic Cubano, media noche, and Miami sandwich. Everything was very good, but hands down we will be back for the juices, coffee, and media noche sandwich!!! Plenty of parking for 30 minutes. They also have someone cutting open fresh coconuts but we got food to go!

This is a pretty awesome place to come eat and drink your little heart out! They sell all kinds of natural, pure fruit juice, squeezed fresh directly from the fruit. They will serve it to you in gallons, or in Styrofoam cups with ice, your choice. Sometimes ppl buy them in gallons to take home. Just about any kind of exotic fruits you can think of. Watermelon, tamarind, carrots mixed with orange, or just plain real natural orange juice are some. They also cut open holes on the tops of real coconuts that are sitting in a fridge outside, and you can drink the juice right from the coconut, fresh and ice cold! There’s also a large variety of different Hispanic foods to choose from here, if you’re hungry. They have an entire selection of delicious plain White or Yellow vegetable rice, wet yuca with onions, pork, pernil, black beans, and other delicious stuff on the menu. They usually serve you TONS of food in a Styrofoam white box, and you have a choice to take it on the go, or just eat right there on the location on their picnic tables they’ve got outside with Spanish television on for you while you feast. So believe me, you definitely get more for what you paid for here! They have a small fridge with a see thru glass also, incase you feel like oysters. The oysters are out of their shells, floating in cold water cups, and I just LOVE eating them with ketchup and lemon juice, omg WHAT a delicacy!!! This place is so awesome when you feel like going healthy, or you’re just really hungry, or feeling kind of a sweet«fruity» mood. I definitely recommend this business to anyone who enjoys feasting heavy outside and consuming the healthy and«natural»!!! Very interesting business!

Terrible service — the most unwilling to help. Even the owner is incredibly rude and defends the employees incompetence. Our food was raw

Fucking awful. Firstly the people there stand around doing nothing and seem annoyed when you ask them anything. Secondly, the chicken was RAW. We got arroz imperial and the chicken was pink, it was not ham. It weird because usually when one makes this dish you cook the chicken before layering it, not here. The owner is a complete douchebag, it’s no wonder his employees are just as sucky/slow. I’ve been to many other Palacios De Los Jugos and they have all been pretty good. AVOIDTHISPLACEATALLCOST. If you find yourself near here just keep driving, there is another Palacio De Los Jugos on the corner of SW27th and SW16th St and another on Coral Way in between SW67th ave and SW72nd.

I love love love this place. I visit Miami all the time but I finally got a chance to visit this place. They have everything! We got a little bit of everything, but the best thing that we ordered were the ribs! They literally are fall-off-the-bone goodness. I heard the tamales were the best, but some guido looking guy saw that we were going to order it and decided to buy the rest of them. All ten of them! There’s a rotating dessert display with the best tres leches I have ever had in my life. They also have pretty good chicharron. Most of the rice were dry, but then again I was there at night so it might have dried out by then. If you want to experience Miami, this is it!

First time here due to reviews. Parking lot jammed with very inconsiderate drivers. They have a lot of different Latin food available cafeteria style. Plenty of seating on a large covered patio. I went looking for crispy pig skin. I love this stuff. Seeing none, I got a Cuban sandwich. Too bad, it was cold in the middle. Big negative! The parking will probably keep me from going back.

Woke up after a long night of partying(because what else do you do while in Miami? Knit?) and really wanted a good refresher to start the next day. I hit up my cousins and we decided on this place that was soothing our Hispanic food cravings like no other. We get there and the place is booming! It was hard to even park the car because there were so many people! It’s a small lot so make sure to try and manuever your way through there as slickly as possible. There are three spots to order. One spot to order your EXTREMELY fresh juice, one spot to order seafood, and one spot to order meats or sandwhiches. Also there is a cart that sells fresh coconut water for only $ 2.50! Out of the actual coconut! So since I was feeling tropical and breezy, I decided to get a mango juice with a plate of mahi mahi, paella, and platanos. All fresh. ANDUNDER $ 25. Talk about a deal!!! Plus I had some for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Portions are super generous. I loved my juice so much that I even bought another but that time Piña Colada. Next time in Miami pay this place a visit! Go early though!

Welcome to Miami — the real Cuban Miami! Palacio is a bastion of all things that make Cuban food and culture great. The food is always fresh. The juices are refreshing. Las masitas de puerco(fried pork chunks) are out of this world! You want to have a lively political discussion about local and Cuban politics? You’ll find it here too without too much effort. Everyone from professionals to day laborers can be found gobbling up delicious food at this location. Be ready to speak some Spanish when you order, but remember the food here is pre-made and cafeteria style. You will not be able to do too much customization. Palacio has everything from tamales to dessert. This location has various food stalls. One is dedicated to sandwiches, another to hot fish and seafood dishes, there is another for hot meat and poultry. There is also a separate juice counter where you really get everything there from juice, to tamales, and their Cuban style dulce de leche. Don’t come here looking for various latin cuisines — the food here is Cuban and they are proud of it. You can also order party trays. If you decide to eat at Palacio, there is a very large thatch-roof tiki that is cooled by fans. As you can imagine, they won’t do too much in the summer. The seating is metal square picnic style tables. If you’re alone, be prepared to share the table with other patrons. Parking is tight. You may need to be patient to get yourself a spot.

This is one of those places that you have to visit when in Miami. It is local and you will see people form almost all walks of life buying their food here. I recommend to try the Cuban sandwich first and than in a another day com me with some guest and have a feast of succulent pork, fish and bbq ribs ! You can washed all down with their fresh made juices and coconut water straight form the coconut. Beware. Not all locations are the same, this particular one is in my opinion the best experience.

You should speak a little bit of Spanish before you come here. This is one of those Cuban market and cafeteria all-in-one places in Miami. The food there is very fairly priced and come in gigantic oversized portions. There’s lots of meat, rice, and very little veggies. Know that the food here generally runs from salty to extremely salty. I some roasted pork shoulder thing with yellow rice and yucca on the side. The yellow rice was some of the most amazing ones I’ve had but that pork shoulder tasted like salt everywhere. It’s real Cuban food when meats taste like that. Also, the fresh coconut juice on the side is a great deal as well.

I love local joints, so I can’t pass up a chance to eat here on our way to the airport. We arrived a little late(7pm, they close at 8pm). I wasn’t looking to pig out since I had literally been eating for 2 days straight non-stop. I went for a small order of arroz moro($ 2.50) which was enough to feed at least 2 if not more people(don’t worry, I took it home — TSA does allow food to be brought in with no liquid). I also had a big piece(chopped into 6 chunks) of chicharron($ 3) — tasty and crispy. I also had a cup of their pineapple juice($ 2) — suppose to be fresh and it tasted fresh but we didn’t see the actual juicing process. Cheap local eats at its finest! I know previous reviews have mentioned about the confusion with the setup. It’s actually not that confusing. So — here are some tips: 1. Be cash ready — but I think they do take credit card 2. One station is for seafood — I personally think their meat looks better — go to station and worst case scenario just point(if language is an issue) 3. Chicharrones are inside at the juice area. 4. Consider just buying sides and the meat/seafood separately if you are with someone who can share. 1 small order of any side is enough to feed everyone. No reason to all buy a giant lunch box — unless you are sharing that 1 lunch box. Definitely a good spot to enjoy local flavor!

Amazing food within walking distance of the Pullman Airport Hotel. Thank you to all those who Unilocaled it for helping me find it! Right off the bat: This place is CONFUSING and I still haven’t quite figured it out. There are at least three different lines for food. I wasn’t really sure what line to get in. I guess one place is more for sandwiches, another for coffee/desserts, another for a cafeteria style line and more. It’s a bit overwhelming as there are tons of people, but we just decided to get in line and figure it out. We don’t speak Spanish, but were able to point to what we wanted. I had baked salmon with cheese, while my wife enjoyed plaintains, a seafood salad and other veggie dishes. Her meal was $ 8.50, while mine with the salmon turned out to be around $ 12.50. It was a super huge portion, so I felt like I got my money’s worth. The salmon itself was incredibly delicious and baked fresh. The plaintains were to die for. There’s a man outside, selling coconuts — he’ll machete it up for you and give you a straw. I think it’s like $ 5 and you’re drinking out of a coconut like a baller. It’s pretty common ’round these parts and definitely delicious. We both enjoyed some coconut milk fresh out of a coconut as well(this part was cash only). For the food, credit cards were accepted, but I found another window to order a Cuban coffee later as well. Absolutely, positively delicious. I miss Cuban coffee being back in Buffalo. Definitely something we could use more of here. In short, while this place is confusing for someone who doesn’t speak Spanish… the food is delicious and the price is right. We were super happy to find this place within a half mile walk of our hotel! I’d highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Pretty cool place to to buy my some quick produce and food to go! It’s like your typical Latin marketplace. Also has covered outdoor seating. My parents and I all had fresh coconut water out of the coconut of course! Also had some maduros and arroz morro. Rice was really good. My mom and I were excited to try their«fresh juices» but when we ordered our guayaba-coconut– pineapple juice the guy just served it to us out of some jugs form the fridge. Not sure if they blend the fruit themselves or if they buy them. The juice tasted awesome but would be nice to know if they made fresh daily.

This whole place reminds me of getting a home cooked meal. Also, don’t be intimidated if you don’t speak Spanish very well or at all. You can still order as they speak some English. It’s easy to speak the language of amazing food. If you ever wanted a mountain of food for cheap, this place is it. We got a mound of black beans and rice, pork and yucca. It was all for $ 11. A MOUNTAINOFFOOD. The black beans and rice were out of this world good. All the spices they added really came out. The pork was fall off the bone great. I love eating fresh, well cooked pork. The meat and fat all just melt in your mouth. The yucca was a disappointment though. It was way too starchy(like a goop) and not enough garlic for my taste. A small blemish. Every meal needs something to wash it down with. We got some fresh squeezed orange juice and limeade. The limeade was refreshing the whole way down. Orange juice was especially delicious. Nothing beats fresh squeeze orange juice. No preservatives. Plus, this was about $ 4. THAT’S IT. And the best part? You get a show with your meal. You can sit outside to watch and listen to the crazy Miami drivers. Seeing all the people trying to get in and out of the parking lot was a show in and of itself. Went well with the MOUND of food. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, after lunch, before breakfast. Anytime. This food is out of control good. Get yourself some home cooked Cuban food.

Saw this on travel channel. Saved it as a bookmark. Checked it out and I missed the hype with this one. The paella was so so. Rice was very dry. No sauce to make it more palatable. Everyone that worked here was friendly. Had some juice which was good. Also had 2 different chicken empanadas from 2 places. 1 was meaty and good. The other was teeny and dried up. I did have chicharrones(sp) and they were like wonderful meat candy. Pork is always your friend. Always. Lol. I was glad to experience something different, but I won’t be returning when in Miami.

El gran palacio de la decepcion. I drive by this place often and if you were to do the same then the traffic nightmare should be enough to deter you. Unfortunately, i’m insane and keep coming back expecting something different. There is a lot of mention of the«fresh» juices. I’ve had the piñacolada and papaya they both came out of re-purposed milk jugs. There is a sign above the juice area saying they guarantee that the juices were prepped within 24 hours but come on. Fresh = made on the spot. Let’s just say they have juices. Bland juices would be a better description. The value is an illusion for the most part. When it comes to the meals, their hands are heavy on the fatty meats and light on the lean. What you’re really buying with the meals is a bucket of rice that isn’t worth the $ 10. The sandwiches aren’t all that good either but i think the $ 5 – 7 sandwich is a safer bet than the $ 10 rice bucket. There is no order. I’ve been in 2 fist fights trying to get food. Once with a 90 y.o. lady and the second with a toddler. So far i’m undefeated, but even for a barbarian this is pretty annoying. If i want to fight over food, i’d just go around taking it from people as they eat it. On the subject of order — if you leave out the east side of the lot crossing 3 lanes of traffic and a double solid yellow line to make a left onto 57th then I hope that catches up with you… HARD. The food is comparable to mediocre home cooking at best. Save this place for those days when you’re fealing nostalgic and want a meal like those that abuelita would make after she went blind. This isn’t to say that it’s all bad. They do have plenty of fresh fruits available. A coconut guy that chops them up on the spot for a quick refresher. Even though all the seating is outdoors it’s shaded and they have a plethora of «misting» fans which should be a S. Fl standard. I really want to like this place but it’s just so hard to find anything that’s actually«worth it» here.
