El Palacio de La Comida

This place is getting 4 stars only because they have rules on how much you have to spend before using a credit card. Mom-​and-​Pop shops usually have these credit card transaction rules and there’s a sign which normally can’t be seen due to «sign pollution» on the walls. The business owner is allowed to set these «minimums» according to the federal government and it really makes sense; «Google It!» if you’re interested in the details of why. It’s a $ 10 minimum for credit card transactions at El Palacio de las Comidas. Luckily I had cash on me.
This is your typical «food by the pound» restaurant. You choose your protein and you get two sides with it. Most folks choose a protein, a rice (moro or congri) and their side, wether it be french fries, fried plantains, or cassava. You have many different options to choose from. I choose the boneless chicken breast with two side portions of boiled cassava.
These food by the pound restaurants are scattered throughout Hialeah and can be convenient when you have nothing to cook at home. If you want to eat healthy, this particular restaurant does provide healthy options to choose as sides.
This location used to be a Blue Sky and I was a frequent customer. I like the name of the restaurant. If you live in Miami you normally see or come across a «El Palacio de los Jugos». This restaurant is named the same but instead of JUGOS it says COMIDAS. Both venues just mentioned provide both food and juices.
Before ending this review I would also like to mention the chicken breast I received was definitely a much smaller portion than what you normally get at places that are similar to this one.
Food is fresh and the chefs know what they’re doing. If you’re in the mood for Cuban food this place will kill the craving.

tiene todo, limpieza, comida sabrosa, un personal super amable, buen precio.
visitelos los recomiendo!!!

Great authentic Cuban food, the closest thing to my grandmothers homemade cooking. The staff is very pleasant, I felt at home. I would definitely recommend it.

I was sent here to pick up an order once, on one spome english but thay tried there best to accommodate me. this place was vary clean and the front counter was pact with peaple in line to order. the staff was working fast as hell filling orders to go. the exterior of this place is a littel off putting bur once your in it shines.

This is the closest you are going to get to a home-​cooked Cuban meal. Everytime I go to Miami, this is a place that is on my to-​do list. Perfect if you have family that is coming over and you don’t the time to cook.
Your guest will not be disappointed. The menu changes daily so you will not get bored with the selection. There is something to fullfill any appetite.
