"Like a lot of locals, the frita wasn’t born in Miami—but it grew up here. And good luck finding one like El Rey’s outside of this city. Seriously: name one American city with a frita like this. El Rey makes our favorite version in town, and it’s also the restaurant that really introduced Miami to the frita: a delicious combination of spiced ground beef, sauteed onions, and shoestring fries between Cuban bread. But El Rey took this Cuban burger and embraced the American tradition of throwing all sorts of toppings at it. You can order your frita with cheese, fried eggs, bacon, sweet plantains, or all of the above." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
