"El Indio has some history with Casa Potin. The story goes that a baker from Casa Potin quit, only to start their own rival shop a couple blocks away. Our sources are completely unreliable and this may be totally false, but who doesn’t love some good ol’ fashioned chisme? In any case, El Indio adds some delicious competition to the Hialeah Cuban bakery scene. They have the typical stuff, but they are known for their pan con chicharrón (Cuban bread with pork crackling mixed in). Hurry here before lunch because it sells out quickly. The desserts are also great. Our favorites are the tres leches cake—it’s super moist, not too sweet, and the meringue is silky smooth." - Yuliet Llanes
