Among the gourmet gas stations, flavorful washing machines, and deli-souled butchers, one standout shines brightly: Enriqueta’s Sandwich Shop.
Unveiling Miami’s Culinary Treasures
Miami New Times sought to remind us that the best food in Miami doesn’t always glitter on the outside. Their recent list of hidden gems includes Enriqueta’s Sandwich Shop, a Cuban surprise nestled between Oaxaca tacos, affordable sushi, and guanábana flan. Located at the intersection of Wynwood, Midtown, and Edgewater, Enriqueta’s is described by journalist Nicole Lopez-Alvar as “one of the most democratic restaurants in the city.”
The Allure of Enriqueta’s
Enriqueta’s doesn’t take reservations or make claims; it simply serves up delicious “coffee” and Cuban sandwiches with a twist. The addition of croquettes to the classic Cuban sandwich has earned the shop the loyalty of locals and celebrities alike. Singer Rosalía and soccer star David Beckham have both been spotted at this modest eatery.
A Diverse Gastronomic Landscape
The list isn’t limited to Cuban cuisine. It also includes tongue tacos from My Mexican Corner and traditional Japanese sushi at Matsuri. Yet, amidst this diversity, Enriqueta’s stands out as a reminder that in Miami, the soul of the city can be found between bread, ham, and a good croquette.
