El Palacio de los Jugos

Everything we ate here was fantastic. Fresh coconut water, plantains, several seafood dishes, roast pork, etc… Love it, highly recommend. Very authentic!

Always a great cuban meal, one order feeds two people. The food is always fresh and always a large selection of all cuban, favorites. The juice bar is also a must try along with deserts.

This place was quite the culture shock for me that I decided we needed to stop by here twice on our quick trip to Miami. The first stop consisted of ordering some fresh fruit juices and boy, they were delicious. Overall, we had the guava (YUM!), a Florida-​based fruit called Mamey, and passion fruit juices. Tasty, sweet, and they are fresh. The guava juice reminded me of my childhood when my grandparents would slice up fresh guava for me to chomp on. The food line is quite popular during lunch time, and I was not prepared to have to use my Spanglish. You can choose a meat, a rice, and a side. The serving sizes are GIGANTIC. For 4 adults, we ordered one boxed lunch of cerde asada (pork), rice and beans, and fried plantains. My mom got a bag of plantain chips and I ventured out and ordered a cubana frita. The food was filling and quite tasty. I’ve never had Cuban food until I came to Miami and I’m glad I stopped by. And, now I need to go back home and brush up on my Spanish!

My cafecito spot. I go you fit across the street. And my pre workout coffee comes from here. I’ve ate a couple of times but not recently. Good selection juicy latin food by the pound. You want to eat a lot and get bang for your buck and quality you come here.

Horrendous organization skills (where is the line?! — it starts no where and ends in old pervy Pepes ass) but I’ll take that over spending 60 bucks at Sergio’s for lower quality and quantity food. We have only eaten from the food by the pound and the «completas» and you get tons of food for the money. It’s pretty good food, especially when fresh. I’m still eating some yuca that we ordered for «2 people» from a year ago. Just kidding, but that’s how much food they give you. Some of the ladies are super sweet and some of them suffer from resting bitch face, but so do I so I can’t judge.

Muy mala calidad de jugos, la naranja sabía a naranja vieja casi podrida. Cero sensación de fruta fresca. El servicio muy indiferente, no es malo pero se nota que no hay una cultura de servicio. El precio no está acorde a la calidad recibida.

The food was very expensive for this rat hole greasy, salty and super bad service. Los chichaito es los pores que me he comido en mi vida… After 3 bites of food I had to go to the rest room to throw up.. NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY GET MY MONEY…

As I was rushing to get to class in the morning, a rush of coffee deprivation came over me. I also didn’t have breakfast so my hunger was getting me grumpy.
Upon walking up to register, the place was definitely clean. I greeted two employess and they did not pay me any mind. This immediately upset me because in my line of work I take customer service seriously. Thank God for an employee named Maria. She turned my experience from sour to sweet!
For breakfast I had three scrambled eggs, tostada and a café con leche. The coffee was on point just like I ordered. Did I mention super cheap ?! Exactly what I need for my college budget .
Upon waiting for my food I accidently dropped the cocos on the counter and I immediately offered to pay for them but Maria did not charge me and that was very kind of her to do so. You don’t see that treatment in these places nowadays .
Great place to try authentic Cuban food and sweets !
I will be back to try the batido de mamey

I visited this location for the first time with my sister and I loved it. When we approached the counter, the woman who was going to help us spoke only Spanish. Unfortunately, my sister and I don’t speak it very well. Unable to communicate, she smiled and said «un momento» and grabbed one of her co workers who walked up and greeted us with a smile. Her English was a bit broken and tried very hard to communicate with us, she was very nice and her effort was very much appreciated! My sister and I shared a very large portion of Arroz Imperial which was DELICIOUS! Very generous with the chicken, ham and cheese, it was moist and the best I ever had. They have soo many different choices. Whole baked fish, Masas de Puerco, Paella, Vaca Frita… We also had two mango juices, which were fresh and delicious.
I love the outside seating here and the very small market with fresh fruits.
I look forward to returning!

This place is ok. I had a steak sandwich and it lacked taste. The juices are pretty good along with the fruit.

This is really a good place to eat cheap and delicious. Plus they have almost any kind of tropical fruit juice, fresh and made at their premises. You can also get fresh coconut water, the guy even opens the coconut right in front of you!

We have tried all the locations, this one though is by far the best. Huge portions of food that always taste fresh for dirt cheap. The area is also a lot cleaner then some of the others and ambiance is nicer too.

It’s not just the food that they offer that is great, but the portions are huge. I’ve gotten the chicken, Arroz congri, white rice, yuca frita/​herbida, and carne de puerco, and everything is full of flavor. I always take it to go and the amount of food they put in the container is enough for two. I always pay around $ 8 per container. If you’re looking for quick place to get food for not a lot of money, this is the place to go.

I cant get enough of the fresh fruit here… It is a shame that I live far from them because I could possibly stop and grab a container of mixed fruit every single day if I could. I have yet to be courageous enough to try the food. There is something about food lines open to the air that kind of give me the creeps but the food seems to be the usual Cuban food.
I have to say though, sitting under those «big a** fans» on a sunny breezy day with that fruit in my hand is not bad at all. For a few minutes I almost feel like I am back home in Colombia eating salpicon off a food truck in my favorite neighborhood *sigh*

We happened upon this place by making what turned out to be a lucky wrong turn in Miami. We decided to try a mamey juice and, boom! We were hooked! The quality of the food is rather questionable and my rating could go either way due to their overly greasy choices. We tried a salmon with frijoles negros and arroz blanco and it was quite tasty and enough for two, but the rest of the food looked way too oily and not appetizing to us at all.
Anyway, back to the star of this show: El Jugo de Mamey! I often day dream of that lovely, all-​natural and perfectly ripe mamey and the lovely juice that is extracted from it. The five starts go to that juice alone, which also happens to be a steal when you consider what a rarity it is to find mamey in most places, and perfectly ripe mamey at that!
Can’t wait to go back to Miami and get me some of that sweet, velvety, delicious juicy juice… and maybe some FL coconuts while I’m at it. ;)

Awful, awful service. Be prepared to stand in line hoping that one of the employees notices you. Apparently, they don’t believe in the ticket system so you have to behave like an asshole so people who came after you don’t skip you. If you believe in good service, stay away from this place. The only reason I don’t give them 1 star is because their food is good and it’s a good deal. Other than that, their service sucks.

If you want the Cuban experience I recommend you visit. You can buy all types of authentic Cuban food (roasted pork, moros, chicharrones, etc). Each meal is enough food for at least two people if not three, because their portions are immense.
I stop in from time to time only for some coco frio so I can be healthy and drink pure coconut juice. Each coconut is $ 2.
Another great tip is if you have a holiday gathering where someone needs to take the roasted pork you should definitely buy it from Palacio de los Jugos. Also, try their juices (lots of added sugar) but it is what made this place a landmark. My favorite is the watermelon juice.
They deserve 4 stars only on the basis of authenticity because when you visit this place it can be a big culture shock. Explore and visit!

Awesome location with great tasty Cuban fare. If your looking for great food and plates that are overwhelming in size this is the location for you. Every time I end up in Miami I make it a point to stop and grab a great meal here. Even though it does not have the flair of the original location it still puts out great food. I strongly suggests the lamb shanks and with the congri or morros. They also have excellent mofongo and platanos maduro… One for sure tip is get there before they close because the food items tend to run out and your choices will be limited closer to closing time.

Everything they have is delicious. Their half gallon of fresh coconut water is so good, I don’t mind hauling ass through a typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm to have them hack up a few coconuts.
With that said, their drive thru is wonderfully convenient.
I only wish I lived closer… Every empanada has a perfect crust and their fillings aren’t overly seasoned like most places. The portions (can’t stop thinking about their fish and rice) are enormous and you will undoubtedly have leftovers. The cortaditos and café con leche are [as all good coffee] great for any time of the day.
It is a little overwhelming the first time there because they have so many options, as well as a little side area where they have desserts, as well as a small back window where they sell their breakfast foods in the morning and their sandwiches, croquettes, tequeños and other quick bites the rest of the day.
If it’s good enough for Anthony Bourdain :)

Considering the pollo asado is sitting out for so long, I don’t know how it stays so good. But it is.
I only wish that El Palacio de los Jugos had more vegetable options. They serve monstrous rice portions, which never feels like a good idea after the fact. Unfortunately, all they offer otherwise is maduros, tostones, yuca, etc. The typical starchy Cuban stuff. That’s all good every now and then, but the mixed vegetables are a pretty sad healthy alternative. If they did a potaje de garbanzo or even sliced tomatoes with olive oil, that would be great (and easy enough to prep that they could pull it off).

Hay que tener hambre! (You gotta be hungry!)
This is one stop shopping for Cuban food. Everything under one roof and ready to go.
With several locations around town, Palacio de los Jugos (Palace of Juices for my Gringo friends…) offers affordable and ready to eat meals for the busy guy or gal that’s always on the go. You can get fresh fruit juices by the gallon, half gallon, or the glass. Having a party? You can order ahead and pick it up the day of…
This location has ample parking and there’s always someone coming or going.
If I took the time to tell you everything on the menu, I’d be here all day. Stop in and check out the board with the day’s specials or «completas» (I like the carne con papa!), and if you like Chicharrones. these are the best in town!
Suffice to say, the food is good, the staff is friendly, and they have never dissapointed.
My suggestion, bring cash. The credit card route is a bit of a hassle. Don’t forget to drop a buck or two in the tip jar, the ladies behind the counters will appreciate it!
