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

"Blue Sky runs through so much food here, it’s sold by the pound from steam counters. One of the best things inside that steam counter is the vaca frita, which is always hot and tender. It’s perfect to buy in bulk for a party or last-minute family meal, where they’ll weigh a tray of it for you. But they also have a solo dinner option for $12.95 that comes with an entire styrofoam box full of vaca frita and two sides—a great option if you’re looking for a huge meal under $15." - Virginia Otazo

The 19 Best Cuban Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Food by the pound is such a beautiful concept, and Blue Sky nails it. This restaurant is basically one long steam counter with over 30 delicious choices. It’s a great option if you’ve been tasked with finding food for your cousin’s baby shower. But if you don’t like loud family parties (we understand), the $12.95 dinner gets you a big styrofoam box full of vaca frita strips, rice, thick black beans, and maduros—which you can eat alone even though you’ll never be able to finish it in one sitting. These dinners aren’t charged by the pound, but we weighed it anyway, and it clocked in at 1.75 lbs. In case you were curious. " - Virginia Otazo

Real Homemade Cuban food sold by the pound. They even have 1 person who speaks English, who was able to help me out. Perfect for feeding a large group gathering while visiting Miami.

I almost left after trying to order because one of the ladies behind the counter was incredibly rude to me for my non-native Spanish (or just that I existed in her vicinity). The other two ladies were helpful and friendly. The food was SO GOOD, I have to go back and just hope I don’t see that one woman again. I got white rice, black beans, chicken and maduros and it far exceeded my expectations—amazing! 5 stars minus one for that woman, and reading the other comments I see it’s a theme.

We go here regularly for their delicious food. Great variety (many kinds of beef, chicken, pork, fish) and they always keep things fresh. My son says they have the best maduros he's had.

Went there Saturday afternoon 12/12/20 the women behind the counter were very rude. There was a discrepancy on the price of the order I placed. I was told one price over the phone and they were asking for twice as much when I got there. Either way I asked about the difference still willing to pay the price. In the end the ladies were very rude made comments that I don’t listen well, I’m wrong, and can’t hear well. At that point I asked for a refund. I made it clear to them that better customer service and choices of words would have made the sale. I asked to speak with the manger. They said there was no manger. If your thinking about this place I would think twice. Go to another place where they value the customer.

Stopped buying for lunch today . It’s closed no sign on door. Shuttered up. Closed indefinitely?

Authentic, homestyle food in takeout setting. Not much room to dine in but I always take out and the food is incredible. Note that if you don't speak Spanish you may need to use a translater app to help you order but it's all part of the experience to me

You can’t deny that Blue Sky is truly a Miami gem. I ordered a tray of their infamous Arroz Imperial and everyone at my party enjoyed it. It’s worth it. Nostalgic and delicious
