EL PALENQUE PIZZERIA, – Restaurant

El Palenque Pizzeria Cubana keeps unusual hours for a pizza spot, running around the clock out of a gas station on East 25th Street in Hialeah, and that convenience is part of its draw. The kitchen puts a Cuban stamp on Italian standards: pizzas cubanas topped the local way, espaguetis cubanos, and batidos blended to order alongside Cuban coffee. It is a stripped-down, order-at-the-counter setup rather than a formal dining room, built for a quick bite any hour of the night. Regulars point to the pizza and the fact that it never really closes as the reasons they keep returning.
