I stumbled upon this place when I got lost in Hialeah...... which can be a great deal traumatizing for a white boy. I'm adequate when it comes to directions, but not in this land north of Okeechobee.
The North becomes East, the South becomes West.... and before you know it, you're buying up Mamoncillos, naranja peladas and frozen bottles of ice from the street just to survive....
Hialeah has some great little hidden places. You know about them only because you grew up/ work in the area, word of mouth or you finally mastered the language that's not found on Rosetta Stone.....
El Mejor Batido is one of those places.
The prices are ridiculous. The juices are fresh and milkshakes very filling. Batido de Mamey, de Guanábana, de Granadilla (Passion Fruit Shake) Mango, Peaches, Watermelon, Coconut, Papaya..... sick!
The few times I went I felt I robbed the place with a lunch options under $5.00!.....
I've grabbed a Pan con Lechon ($2.10), Pan con Bistec ($3.85), Pan con Croqueta ($2.60), Pan con Chorizo ($2.80) with sides of papas fritas each time....
Standing room only. Grab a counter spot away from the serving area or by the security bar caged windows.
Parking is non existent but I've always managed to grab a spot across the street and people are quick to get in, order and move out.
Try it.
