El Rey de las Fritas

It's no secret, I am a frita lover.  I get cravings and I just have to have them.    A frita is a Cuban hamburger.  They don't really taste like hamburger, they are better!   They are made with ground beef and chorizo and usually have tiny onions and fried string potatoes, most restaurants add their own special sauce...They are delicious and so bad for you!~  They are one of the least healthiest things you can eat, but its okay once in a while. 

El Rey de las Fritas has a decent menu with popular Cuban dishes, but I'll be honest I've never tasted anything else on the menu.  I usually order a frita and a cortadito (espresso with a shot of milk) for dessert.   My children and husband do splurge and usually order a shake for each or they share 2 shakes.  The shakes are large, so I don't like when they each have a shake.

Drop in and taste the world famous fritas at El Rey de las Fritas.
