"Think of El Rey as Miami’s version of Johnny Rockets. But instead of a jukebox, there’s a coin-operated mechanical horse in the corner. And their version of a burger is a frita—the best in town. These patties are covered in rust-red smokey spices and topped with crunchy potato sticks before being placed between two cuban bread buns. We like to order ours a caballo, which means “with an egg” and directly translates to “on horseback.” And those eggs run, unlike their mechanical namesake in the corner, which we’ve never actually seen anyone use." - virginia otazo
