I first learned about this open-air fruit stand during my Little Havana Food & Cultural Tour. After the tour ended, I just had to get back here again before leaving Little Havana. This mom-and-pop shop has been family-run since 1963 and all fruits are always fresh & nothing frozen.
[Parking]: There's a free outdoor parking lot (via PayByPhone app location 45350) behind Maximo Gomez Domino Park (901 SW 15th Ave, Miami, FL 33135) until 6 PM just two blocks away.
[Menu]: The stand serves fresh "Batido" smoothie from mangos, mameys, guanabanas, or coconuts. Here customers have an option to pick their own fruits at the stand, mix and match an array of fruits and veggies, and ask the staff to serve a custom batch from the bar. The star beverage is the "Green Juice" which is made with real sugarcane, apio (celery), perejil (parsley), and ginger. Juices are typically pressed by an abuela who has been doing this for 30+ years. The bar also serves Cuban coffee too. Other juices include "Etiophia" Juice (sugar cane, avocado, guava), Argentino Juice (mango, pina aka pineapple, aguacate aka avocado, menta aka mint), abuelo (sugar cane, pineapple, and lemon), "Coronaviros" (sugar cane, lemon, ginger, and honey), etc.

Mango juice ($5): It was the best mango juice I have ever had in my entire life and most likely the best juice I will ever have.

I am so sad that I won't be having this good of mango juice when I get back to Los Angeles. Absolutely a must-visit stop in Miami!
