The 9 Best Vaca Frita in Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"We love it when a restaurant sears both sides of a vaca frita. It gives it a little extra crunch. And not only does El Rinconcito Latino fry both sides, but they also serve the largest portion we've found in Miami. It takes up an entire oblong plate—the rice and beans actually have to be plated separately because they can’t fit on the same dish. Theirs isn’t fully shredded when it arrives at the table, so the thin braised steak looks like the ripples of sand on a perfectly raked zen garden, which you get to destroy with your fork and knife." - virginia otazo
