The Butcher Shop

This was my first time visiting this establishment. I wanted a large piece of Churrasco, which I was able to purchase from the butcher. It looks really good & I’m excited to cook it later tonight. I also ordered two Cuban sandwiches, which were rather tasty. I especially liked that they used fresh pulled pork in it. What was rather disappointing were the Mariquitas. They smelled of oil and were seemingly not fresh. The chips were not crisp & over soaked in oil as if they were not properly drained. Would not order them again. They went straight to the disposal.

This place deserves more than just 5 stars. This is the BEST place for chicharron. If you haven’t had chicharron, it’s chunky pieces of pork and skin, super fried until the skin is crispy. Here, the flavor of the chicharron is incredible. You will never have something so tasty, so delicious, so crunch, and so excellent anywhere else in Miami! They sell chicharron by the pound, and for 1 person, 1 pound is plenty. It is sold at $11.99/lb. Don’t sleep on the pork sandwich (pan con lechon). This is going to be the other mind blowing item here! For $6.99, this sandwich is huge and stuffed with juicy pork. The pork is a variety of crispy, fatty, and tender pieces. It’s so good and needs no sauce or anything! I also want to mention that staff are excellent, friendly, and super helpful. The lady at the front quickly helped me understand how their restaurant worked. All the staff making the food had smiles on their faces and were friendly as well. As a recap, the best chicharron in the US is here. I also would get their pork sandwich and maybe a guava and cheese taqueño or pastelito.

Great Cuban sandwich. Tons of other lunch plate options, priced well.

The best chicharones in South Dade. Good food and good prices. Friendly staff. Very good neighborhood joint for food.

ALERT: use this as an ALERT!!! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL AND MAKE SURE TO TRIPLE CHECK IT BEFORE HANDING YOUR CARD!!! I used to go to the Butcher shop all time before covid. The food is really good, although it suffered a bit with the pandemic the food is still good. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL!!! We got charged $99.99 dollars for a Burguer that was supposed to be $17.00. When we saw the bill it was really high and no one checked since “it’s the new normal to be high” it still made no sense to me when I got my bill to sign for $152. I noticed that one of the burguers that should have been $17 was at $99. I got the waitress to refund the 99 But we were still overcharged since top is already included and she never recalculated the full bill so we were overcharged $40 bucks after considering a 20% tip (which is quite decent). So please be extra careful with your bills and check over before handing your card! But the food! Is still very good, not $99 worth but still good!

The food was great and fresh! But what impressed me especially was the very polite service I received when I called in with a quick question about the many. So many times I've called other restaurants only to be addressed rudely as if they were actively trying to lose my business. So thank you, both for the great food and demonstrating common courtesy! I am going to be your new repeat customer 😁

The best Cubano I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating, definitely will be back to try everything else

I had the chicken soup. There was a great amount of chicken in it. More than I've gotten anywhere else in town.
