ESTEFAN KITCHEN EXPRESS – Spanish
A quick-service Cuban counter in the North Terminal of Miami International Airport, near Gate D27, operating as the smaller express format of the Estefan Kitchen restaurant brand founded by Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The made-to-order menu centers on a classic Cuban sandwich built with slow-roasted pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, alongside a medianoche, croquettes and lechon flatbreads. Grab-and-go options extend to chicken soup, turkey-and-cheese wraps and salads for travelers short on time, plus Cuban pastries for dessert. A bar pours rum mojitos and a house cosmo. The counter trades the flagship's entertainment for fast turnaround between flights.
