EL PATIO CAFE – Steakhouse
On NW 71st Street in Miami, El Patio Cafe runs a straightforward Cuban and Latin American cafeteria, open from morning coffee through late-night karaoke most days of the week. The steam table and grill turn out ropa vieja, shredded beef braised in tomato sauce with rice and black beans, alongside lechon asado, slow-roasted pork paired with yuca and mojo. Carne asada comes with tostones, and camarones a la plancha bring grilled shrimp to the same plate. Regulars treat it as a neighborhood standby, praising the home cooking and generous portions over polish. Take-out and delivery run alongside the wheelchair-accessible room.
