MARY'S CUBAN CAFE – Restaurant

Barely a room — a counter with bar stools, a few tables outside, and a liquor store sharing the space — but Mary's Cuban Cafe on SE 8th Street has the essentials covered. Chicken empanadas come out hot, the cafe con leche is the reason half the queue is there, and the Cuban sandwiches and chicken combination plates handle lunch. Everything is cooked to order, so expect a twenty-minute wait and use it. Regulars in Hialeah treat the wait as part of the deal. Small, plain, and worth stopping for.
