El Palacio de los Jugos

Legna was so professional and courteous when she took our order. The service and food was delivered on time. Everyone enjoyed and loved the food. DELICIOUS!!!!! Prompt, fast delivery and awesome!!! Highly recommend!! Go see Legna!! Thank You Legna!

El Palacio de los Jugos is definitely a Miami staple, and there are some things that make it worth visiting, but overall, my experience lands in the middle, which is why I give it 3 stars. The variety of food is impressive—whether you want Cuban sandwiches, fresh juices, or full hot meals like lechón, rice, beans, and plantains, the menu has something for everyone. The portions are generous, and the flavors are authentic, which really does capture the essence of traditional Cuban cuisine. The juices are also fresh and refreshing, especially on a hot Miami day, and that’s one of the highlights of coming here. That being said, there are downsides that make the experience less enjoyable. The biggest issue is the service. The staff is usually very fast-paced, but it often comes across as rushed and sometimes even a bit impatient. If you’re not familiar with the setup, it can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when there’s a line. Cleanliness is another area where things could improve—the seating areas and tables don’t always feel well-maintained, and given how busy the place gets, it can look messy. Prices have also crept up over time, and while the portions are big, the cost doesn’t always feel justified for the quality of service provided.

if you like chicharrones this is the place to go crunchy and Always fresh

The food was amazing, tasty and super fresh as always. There is so much variety of food... beef, chicken, sea food, all kinds of juices and so many latin deserts and sweets. The service was fast and the Girls serving are always friendly and there is even a lady right at the entrance of the place ready to clean all the tables as people come and go. We got lots of food and fresh coconut water for so cheap too. Only con is the onside of the restaurant is soooo hot, literary sweating in there and i feel so bad for the Girls near the kitchen. Wish they had larger fans or extractors to compensate.

I went pretty late and there was an entire line, not suprised on a friday night. Very hectic and chaotic but most of the workers were friendly, I ordered a pineapple drink and it came out very good. Some of the food is fresh and some aren't, depends what your getting. It can get pretty hot with a lot of people and sometimes the workers can't hear you with the loud music. Overall, it's alright.

I love this place. My ONLY complaint is being overlooked while waiting in line. My number was next amd some gentleman flirted his way to skip my number. Another server saw what happened and gave me the look that she will take care of me next. The sweet young lady saved this review.

Based on different visits to the place, my criteria regarding the variety of dishes is quite varied, the food is well prepared, the quantity when serving the sides is considerable, the cleanliness of the place is acceptable, the only problem they should focus on is the treatment of the public, their employees make you feel uncomfortable or that you are bothering them, and they do not invite you to leave them a tip, they should work on the way they serve the public and I repeat, we were there on more than three occasions.

Hot girls, clean production kitchen, top of the line farm to table food absolutely an experience Know going into it that you have to order small sizes for individuals as the small feeds 2 people the large 4 to 6. They cater and offer food up to 500 people. Wall to wall food. The orange juice is fresh , desserts amazing. Mainly all staff only speaks Spanish.

¡Me encanta comer aquí! Es un placer visitar aqui y a Vicky Bakery. Puedes pedir que te atiendan desde afuera o adentro. Tienen mesas adentro y afuera para comer. La comida cubana es auténtica. ¡El guarapo está DELICIOSO! Los chicharrones son los mejores de todo Miami. El personal es muy atento y amable. Créeme, esto es comida Cubana auténtica. I absolutely love eating here!!! It's my pleasure along side Vicky Bakery. You can get service from the outside or the inside. They have tables inside and outside to eat as well. The Cuban food is authentic. The guarapo is DELICIOUS! The pork rinds are the best in all of Miami. The staff is very helpful and nice. Take it from a Cuban, this is the real deal.

I took my brother visiting from Arizona who was missing the Cuban food and culture. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. The ambiance is always great in El Palacio de Los Jugos, it's like a marketplace with all sorts of tropical fruits, juices and tons of prepared food. We ordered fritas Cubanas, chicharrón, jugo de guanabana, malanguitas fritas, dulce de leche, cortaditos and took home a mango, aguacate, mamey and some sesame bars. The frita was pretty awful and not authentic at all. The bread was super dry like a brick and the patty was flavorless. Don't ever order a frita here, Morro Castle has much better ones, go there. The chicharrón was pretty tough and not that flavorful. When we got home, I cut the aguacate and part of it was rotten. The juice my brother ordered was good and the Cortadito was mediocre. For dessert we had dulce de leche, Cuban style with the syrup, not that great either, my grandma would not have approved. Pretty sad because this place is fun to go to with all the variety; This Palacio de los Jugos can do better. I suggest if you go, stay away from the frita and maybe try the prepared basics like vaca frita. The people who work at Palacio de los Jugos are very nice, let's see if they can provide better quality.

I have been to several of the locations of this restaurant. And this one by far is the worst! I am not sure if it is because it is located in the heart of Hialeah or what?! But the ladies that serve you, the food are so incredibly rude, that it makes you not even want to give this place your money. They yell at you and are incredibly vulgar. You have to pay at three different counters if you want three different things. And there are a bunch of people just walking around with nothing to do while you're trying to place your order.

Literally the best Cuban food I had while staying in Miami! So much selection for everyone in your group. The service is great, but you must practice your Spanish while here! Very delicious and authentic Cuban cuisine. The ambiance is fresh and airy, lots of seating. Very clean. Cafeteria style.

Yummy! Delicious Cuban food. There was a variety of Cuban dishes and food was well made especially it was hot. I had a Palomino steak, morro and fried plantains. My father had picadillo and white rice with black beans. Both dishes were yummy! The place was clean and atmosphere was great. The staff was professional, friendly and helpful. It does get busy at times and parking lot does get packed.

This location is the WORST!!! Do NOT ever order from them. Choose another!!!! I have been a customer for years. Recently, the delivery person left behind my juice and brought only my soup. Uber doesn't give refunds . I called them and indeed they verified by not only eye witness also by video that my juice was indeed still there. I placed another order for a juice and requested they sent me my first juice which they had already been paid for along with my new juice order. They did NOT... I called them to ask them why? And the very loud and obnoxious lady told me that they were out money!!! Seriously how exactly where they out money when Uber paid them for both of my juice.... She kept on speaking over me and refused to even try to understand what I was saying. They are THIEVES more interested in the money than to do the right thing and send me the juice I had already paid for. They don't give a S...t about the customer.... Also, the soup was horrible! There are several of these in the area? DO NOT GO to 1275 W 49th st in Hialeah!!!

El.parqueo es muy pequeño y si uno parquea al lado que es un Banco en un shopping mall ellos mismos tienen un negocio con una compañia de remolque para q se lleven el auto, por $26.00 tuve que pagar 175 de grua. Vaya a un negocio donde respeten al cliente y tenga sificiente parqueo para El consumidor, ahì estan todos de acuerdo, El negocio, los grueros y la CIUDAD.

I love the food here!!!! Good service and good ambient, lately I noticed that there is air condition at the place so much better now!!!

What a huge disappointment... my daughter ordered a $35 churrasco Moros and maduros and it was horrible. The steak highly under seasoned the Moros were hard as if dry due to sitting under a lamp (this was ordered at 1pm), maduros were just ok. When she paid the $35 price on it she figured it would be the usual heaping "completa" that she had heard about. The completa that would way at least 2-3 lbs... will never attempt to order from here again.

I've been to several locations and had juices, food and sandwiches.. the juice has always been consistent.. for food, I always have the sliced avocado with salmon or shrimp and it's been very good and fresh.. the sandwiches were very good as well and very filling ... my favorite juices are the sugarcane, lemonade and watermelon juices... all the juices have been great! The ordering process can be overwhelming due to a language barrier, however, anytime I've ordered, the staff has been accommodating and spot on with my order! Overall, great experience!

If you don't speak Spanish don't think of coming here. They don't speak English or maybe they don't want to speak to you. I asked for the "especial de completas" advertised for 5.99 and online for 6.99 for the small portion. The server almost rolled her eyes when I ask this in English, so I resorted to pointing at items. I chose rice and beans, steam veg, Ropa Vieja and she proceeded to weigh the serving of shredded beef and I thought it was a new procedure. She pulled up a calculator and to my surprise, the total was $14 and change. I paid and proceeded to have a sit to eat my lunch and secretly watched them do a double standard to Spanish speaking customers, it's a popular dish so every time this particular dish was ordered the server always heaped on the the Ropa vieja and never weighed it. If you must try it because you saw a highlight vid from strictly dumpling or Josh, I highly recommend ordering it through their online option. As for me, I'm insulted and will never come back, I suspect they don't want us, foreigners, to come there anyways

I used to be nervous about this place but it's really good food. I would def recommend if you wanna try something Cuban and are close. Good juices

I don't know what happened, I ordered Salmon with rice/beans. And Boniato. The rice was not fully cooked. And the boniato hervido was hard like a rock. I recommend you test cooked level. It's better you send it later than on time and raw.

Tacaños. Solo un pedazo de carne te dan con la orden completa pequeño. No jodan. En otras Palacios, por lo menos agregan 2 (hasta 3) pedasos de carne y papa. Aqui, ni te dan papa. Porque no lo cocinan con papa. Mejor viajen a Miami.

Great selection of foods from sandwiches to fried rice. The sweet and sour style chicken was delicious tender and plentiful. The shredded beef was good almost like eating shredded jerky.

Great food. The juices are great my favorite being the passion fruit. You will want to buy this in the biggest size possible and take home for the whole family. The only thing is it can be a little chaotic since there are so many different sections. And you can't choose food options from another section, they all have to be separate orders. Which means waiting in multiple lines. You also can't go too far with English alone unless there is one person who can translate or by using the Google translate app. Still a great place to stop by!

I've been living in the apartments behind this place since I was a little kid and unfortunately have to move soon. I only wish I could go back in time, take advantage of the 5 minute walk, and visit this place more often. The quality of the food, portions, and the price is unreal. Plenty of options for freshly made food and desserts. If you're from or been to Cuba you'll feel right at home. Gonna go back to try the whole menu.

So this is a really neat and big cuban market with hot, fresh food. That being said no one here speaks English. I had to point to what I wanted but the food was so good. We tried the picadillo meat with French fries (for the kids). Also got a pepperoni pizza for the kids and it was really good, very cheesy. They have ice cream, popsicles, fresh fruit and even fresh squeezed juices. I'm glad we tried it since we were in the area.

Their sandwiches are AMAZING. Original. Fresh. Filling. Doesn't get much better than that. They staff is AMAZING. Great service. Definitely a place you should try if you're ever in the area. Casual Dining.

Where else can you get a filling meal for $10 that's enough for two? At this legendary place of course. El Palacio de Los Jugos has been around for decades and its one of Miami's staples when it comes to affordable delicious food. They have several locations all over South Miami and this the 3rd one I've been to. It's a little far from where I live but it's worth the drive. Besides the fresh juices, there's something for everyone here including traditional Cuban and Latin food, a variety of seafood selections and even Asian inspired dishes on some occasions. You just simply wait in line in front of the several food displays, point on the item, and then pay. Most combos are just around $10 and trust, it's enough to share. Plus the ladies behind the counter are attentive and swift. Although most don't speak English, they will do their best to accommodate. I mostly come here for their pork dishes, especially the Chicharron. They're always ready, always meaty and always crunchy. I also get the paella or whole fish to take home with a couple of Cuban style empanadas fresh out of the fryer. They're not the healthiest option but dam their so good :) The empanadas are around $2.50 each and they're pretty big. This place will always be one of my goto restaurants for comfort food. It definitely represents the Miami community and a great experience for any family or friends visiting from out of town.

No no no no!!!!!!! This place is nuts crazy confusion the food was horrible It like a out door swap meet total chaos The worst place we ate in Florida The prices are higher The only part the was good is that they do give a lot of food but who cares if you want to feed it to the dog I would not recommend thus place to any one Well in your into old food this is for you The place is very f Dirty

Wow !!!! Do you want to truly a great variety of Hispanic foods this is the place all your cravings in one location what can I say you need to visit this location

This place is always so busy during lunch and at times the temperature inside is too hot, they need more fans maybe. This is my mom's favorite place to get chicharron since it's cooked perfectly and is always a crowd pleaser at parties. The downside is most of the workers don't speak English and it can be so frustrating !

Wow so much food. You are in food heaven here. I do wish they would labeled the dishes names. They have a good variety of different dishes and the dishes are cooked well. They also have a section for desserts and Drinks.

Good food, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Latin food; reasonable prices and Great selections to choose from

I participated in a Yelp BPB Event: "Order the Yelp @ Pincho Factory" for lunch today and only had a quarter piece of Pincho Factory's 4.5 Star Burger and Pincho Burger. I must have had 2 individual shoestring fries and about 4 pieces of sweet potato tots. I needed an early dinner to FUEL UP! ASAP! I've been to a couple "El Palacio de Los Jugos" locations in South Florida and this one is always packed! (The one on Flagler and SW 57th Avenue still holds the Championship Belt for "Most Packed/Crowded"). If a venue that sells food is packed then be happy; that just means they will run out of food therefore cooking more fresh food. I had their oven-baked salmon (huge filet; you can share if you wish) with two sides (boiled pumpkin "calabaza" and steamed vegetables). I also purchased a side order of avocados. This "El Palacio de Los Jugos" has very minimal parking. It's right on one of the busiest streets in Hialeah "LA 49" so get ready to struggle a bit exiting onto the road once you leave. This is your typical food-by-the-pound Cuban restaurant but on steroids. There's a market that sells all kinds of fruits and vegetables. You can also get freshly squeezed juices. Plenty of healthy options.....

Hands down the best Cuban sandwiches in South Florida as several others have commented on several food forums around the Internet. Delicious natural fruit juices like those you usually find in any Latin American country. All in a totally relaxed open street location in the heart of Hialeah. Repeated the juices and had a delicious Cuban Expresso coffee to finish a great experience.

What happened to this place? I'm on vacation and we always stop by to get something to eat. It's usually good. Today it was horrible!!! so disappointed! Juices were lukewarm. YUK! They give you lots of food but it tasted cheap. Everything was DRY and flavorless (Milanese de pollo & arroz frito). The tostones were stale. Hubs got the croquettes and empanada. We threw everything away. Worse part was we drove 40 minutes to get here. Service was non existent. I'm so disappointed

the pictures speak for themselves. So much food, soooo good & inexpensive . The chicharrones are undefeated

The fruit juices here is awesome!! Reasonably priced also. Def would come back for that

Update: I reached out to them as the comment asked and received an email that I would be contacted. No such thing happened. I thought they would've offered to send some edible mameys so parents could enjoy but nope. And the remaining mameys I opened were even worse. So incredibly disappointing. So enjoy the juices and the mamey ice cream there but stay away from fresh mameys at el Palacio.

Acabo de comprar una completa por uber eatsq vale $18 segun ellos es grande o pequeño, pedi la grande y esto fue lo q mandaron. Son unos falta de respeto..... pa no decir mas na. Les doy una estrella porque no me deja hacer el review

Food was delicious and they do big orders for special ocations Everything was good the congri , the vaca frita

I have bought food from here for years, their individual food portions are huge but the catering portions are small and overpriced. I ordered arroz imperial for 50 people, the cashier said that two trays should be good as each tray feeds 20 to 25 people. On the day of the party when I went to pick up the two trays a lady gives me two boxes that are around two inches high and she said 'here are your trays', I asked her if that would feed 50 people and she said yes 'this is another worker'. Thank God I had around ten people that didn't attend the party because I would have run out of food. Each tray only gives you 15 portions regardless of how you cut it. They are cheap with their ingredients, almost no chicken, little cheese on top, overall a disaster, we paid almost $200 for this and I will never again buy catering from them.

Juice, juice and more juice. The fruit flavors are endless, but I'm impartial to the Pina.... what's better than fresh pineapple juice... answer... ice cold pineapple juice...This is a must stop when I'm in Hialeah, it's almost an institution of sort. Not a big fan of abundance of food buffet style, where the portions could feed a small village but I will say it looks very appetizing. I stick with my tried and true Pan Con Bistec or any other sandwiches on the menu. Oh yeah the watermelon juice is a favorite as well and they sell all the juices by the half gallon. How can you go wrong here!! Solid 4

Great place for food and juice in Hialeah! It's right across the street of Gus Machado Ford and there's plenty of parking for everyone. The staff gives plenty of food and it's a bargain compared to everywhere else. The boxes of food can feed two people comfortably. I would recommend coming early because it can get packed around lunch time. My only complaint is that the dining area is outrageously hot. It's probably due to all the steam warmers, stoves, and refrigerators all over the place inside the space.

What keeps people coming back to Palacio is definitely the food, not the service. I always take my food to go since I live nearby. The parking lot is small for how crowded the location always is so I personally prefer to walk there. Every time I've gone, which is at least once every two weeks, the location has been busy. What I love about this place is that there is something for everyone. Whether you're in the mood for seafood, poultry or meat, you can find something. You want something light, there are different salads, veggie sides and fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices. You want a heavy meal? They can provide that for you. Looking for a quick bite to hold you off until you get home and cook for the kids, stop by for a croqueta or an empanada. What I Recommend: MIAMI SANDWICH: If you're in the mood for a sandwich, this is the one you should pick. It's massive and has all the essentials elements for a great sandwich. Stacks of deli meat, on toasted cuban bread with melted cheese, topped with lettuce, tomato and shoestring potato chips and strips of bacon. My boyfriend and I always split this sandwich and we end up stuffed. Macaroni Salad: I hated this as a kid because of the pickle and pineapple chunks. What I love about the way they make it is that they don't add too much pineapple or pickle pieces and making them easy to spot and take out. I know it sounds like a weird combination but believe me, it's great. Ideal for a hot day (which is every day here in South Florida) at the park or a barbecue. Empanada de Pollo: I'm not sure what sorcery they use to make these but they are delicious! They're my absolute favorite. Croquetas de Jamon: Big and flavorful, try them on their own or in a croqueta preparada sandwich. A Completa: Try something new and mix and match to your heart's desire. Prepare yourself to eat a copious amount of food or share it with a friend or two. Breakfast: Cafe con leche, two eggs anyway you want them, ham, bacon, seasoned fries and toasted buttered cuban bread for under $5. If you want to splurge, you can upgrade your cafe con leche for a cup of one of their natural juices for about $1 more. Juices: They sell the juices by the cup and by the half gallon. I personally love picking up a few whenever I host a brunch at home to make some funky mimosas. Mango, guava and pineapple are a couple of my favorites. Palacio de los jugos is the kind of place you go to when you are on a budget but want to eat well. Also the kind of place you go to when you want a massive sandwich and not pay an arm and a leg for it. It is also a great place to order meal bundles for dinner parties without breaking the bank.

So much food for so cheap. But gotta know a few words in Spanish. You can always point if anything but some of the workers don't know a lick of English.

A highlight of Hialeah. The line was somewhat long to order but worth it. I ordered freshly squeezed orange juice with a media noche Cuban sandwich. The bread was nice and toasted with that classic Cuban buttery flavor. The juice was so refreshing, especially in this hot Miami heat. If you're near a location, come by and have some of their freshly squeezed juices and delicious items for lunch or breakfast.

By far the best batidos! Batido de mamey was perfect as was the one de trigo. Best place for some authentic Cuban food.

Very clean and service is awesome (they take care of you)... food is very good and clean and I love the fact that the food choices are displayed in front of you. People who work there are very nice. I recommend the chicharrón with lime... best I've had. Bathrooms are also very clean, put parking is limited.

This place is amazing! Lots of food. I was shocked in the amount of food and choices they had. Will definitely go again. Must check them out!

We love this place u can found all over miami food is good and alot of variety the only thing is u have to speak Spanish to order so thy understand u better

Muy, muy pero muy mala, compré dos raciones de ajiaco para llevar y al llegar a la casa era sólo líquido, ni un pedazo de carne ni una sola vianda, no deben engañar a las personas de esa manera.

Made an online order for Christmas Eve. They confirmed a 5pm pick up time. I arrived 20 minutes early at 4:40pm and there was a bizzillion people. Many orders were not ready. I finally received my 5pm confirmed order at 7:00pm. Stood in line for 2 hours and 20 minutes. The meat did taste great, but the experience was frustrating. The restaurant needs to get organized and not over promise and underdeliver. Posting this as constructive criticism.

food tasts like poop it is badddddddddddddddd.la carne save muy Mala y es may cocino adtrento yafuera

To start, the customer service in this place is AWFUL. Lack of friendliness in staff, they take a long time to ask if you need help, you kinda just have to hover and try to get someone's attention otherwise they likely won't ask if you need help. The food for the most part is great. Portion size is amazing for the low price. Food normally tastes great. I recommend the Lechón (pork) and the arroz imperial (almost like a rice lasagna). I recommend going in the afternoon because the food is fresher and hasn't sat there too long. The actual restaurant is always super hot and crowded. I would not recommend actually eating there; take your food to go. Overall, the customer service is a big minus for me and I will likely not be returning. Would probably order through Uber eats or Postmates if available.

I wanted fresh coconut water , went to the one off the 826 , there was a whole shopping cart of coconuts outside. I asked for a gallon and they said they didn't have any. I asked them about the ones outside and they said they not going outside to cut any. I gathered they didn't want my $$ so I thanked them and left. Won't go back to that one. Might try a different location in the future and hope for better luck and service.

Love the drinks, just wish they had them more fresh instead of pre-made in the jugs they stole them in. Love the bistec sandwich. The other food is also solid. Pretty straight forward place, come hungry.
