EL METRO RESTAURANTE CAFETERIA – Mexican
El Metro Restaurante Cafeteria is a no-frills Cuban cafeteria on NW 72nd Avenue in Miami, popular with local laborers and truck drivers for its early hours and affordable prices. The kitchen opens before dawn for Cuban breakfast, then runs through classic plates like ropa vieja and rabo encendido, chickpea stew, seasoned black beans, taco salads and grilled salmon, with oxtail as a Friday specialty. Fluffy eggs, chorizo and generous burritos round out the counter-service menu, backed by strong Cuban coffee and passion fruit juice. The cafeteria is open Monday through Saturday with shorter Saturday hours, and stays closed on Sundays.
