Elena Ruz sandwich, 7 croqueta varieties, La Flaca menu
"Price Per Croqueta: $1.25 Lots of things have changed for the worse at Sergio’s. The place looks more like a gastropub than a Cuban restaurant, there’s an entire “flaca” menu, and they’re in the process of building a rooftop tapas bar. But one thing remains the same: their croquetas are delicious. Each has a chunky filling that actually tastes like ham, and weighs about as much as an Airpod case. The croquetas come with fresh limes and (of course) soda crackers. Plus, Sergio’s has the most organized ventanita system in Miami—there's one window for ordering, another for picking up, and less people comiendo the proverbial mierda. " - virginia otazo
"Sergio’s menu isn’t our favorite. For some reason, they’ve decided that having a “la flaca” section is more important than listing their croquetas. But you should ask for them—and ask for an elena ruz too (also an off-menu item, for some reason). The medianoche bread on this sandwich is perfectly toasted. And if you’re the kind of person who likes to order extra cream cheese on your bagel, then you’re going to like this one. They go heavy on the Philadelphia." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Sergio’s feels disjointed—like the plot to the 2003 romantic comedy Gigli. The Coral Way Cuban spot has gastropub lighting, plays classical music, and, for some reason, has a low-calorie section of the menu called “La Flaca” with keto chicken ropa vieja-stuffed bell peppers. What once was a solid Cuban restaurant is now, sadly, a trend-chaser. The food is hit or miss too. The vaca frita is seasoned well, but it’s dense and dry. The croquetas are great though. And so is their seared half chicken—not our typical Cuban restaurant order, but we can’t deny it’s juicy and delicious. We’re as confused about Sergio’s as it is about its identity. But like how Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez walked away with something good from Gigli (money), you can do the same with Sergio’s (a very good elena ruz)." - Virginia Otazo
"Sergio’s has carved out a unique space in the community by blending classic Cuban fare with contemporary American influences. The menu features customary breakfast items, sandwiches, starters, mains, and desserts, along with the “La Flaca” menu, which offers low-calorie options without sacrificing flavor. With seven locations throughout South Florida, from Pembroke Pines to West Kendall, there’s always a Sergio’s nearby." - Eater Staff
"While all types of Cuban sandwiches are served at Sergio’s, the Elena Ruz is a must-try. Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy this turkey sandwich with cream cheese, and strawberry preserves between pressed sweet Cuban bread like the one used for the media noche sandwich." - Stacy Moya
