MOLINAS RANCH RESTAURANT – Mexican
Serving Hialeah since 1982, and the linen tablecloths say they still take it seriously. Lechon asado is the dish to lead with, slow-roasted pork done the long way, with oxtail, chicken fricassee, carne con papas and higado a la italiana behind it. Moros, tostones, fufu and paper-thin mariquitas come alongside; flan de queso closes it out; fresh guarapo is on hand for anyone who wants it. Doors open at seven in the morning, seven days a week. Regulars talk about the size of the plates and staff who treat them like family.
