LA TINAJITA CAFE – Mexican
The coffee window is open by 6:30 in the morning, which tells you what kind of place this is. La Tinajita is a working Cuban cafeteria in a strip plaza off SW 142nd Avenue in southwest Miami — counter service, a handful of tables, no ceremony at all. The kitchen sends out bistec empanizado, vaca frita de pollo, moro and pressed Cuban sandwiches at prices that keep the room busy. Regulars come back for the speed and for the people behind the counter as much as the food. It closes mid-afternoon, so plan around breakfast and lunch.
