EL PATIO LIVE – Chinese
Inside a small plaza on West 49th Street in Hialeah, El Patio Live runs Cuban comfort food alongside a full bar, open late Thursday through Saturday. The menu ranges from Crema de Malanga and Guiso de Maiz through croquetas de la casa, tamal en cazuela and vaca frita, plus a shareable tabla of cheese and Serrano ham and skewered pinchitos. Ropa vieja and lechón asado anchor the traditional side, while a prime Angus burger with sweet potato fries and a grilled chicken Baconator sandwich cover the cravings. Regulars mention the pan con bistec first. It stays loud, casual and dependable.
