18 Iconic Hispanic Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation
"Another very important export of Nicaraguan cuisine is the fritanga, the country’s answer to fast food. These casual cafeteria-style restaurants offer homemade Nicaraguan food to-go. The experience is simple. You wait in line (there’s always a line), pick your food, and they pile it high inside a styrofoam container. But more than that, they offer community hubs for Nicaraguans to see and interact with other Nicaraguans. Not only has Fritanga Monimbo been around for decades, but it has two locations in West Kendall, the second most important hub for Nicaraguans after Sweetwater. You can’t go wrong with the classics here: churrasco, gallo pinto, maduros, queso frito, and tortillas. But they also have unique items that other spots don’t, such as baho (beef brisket cooked in banana leaves) on the weekends and nacatamales." - Mandy Baca
