Everything rocked. Burger, iron beer (cream soda), and flan. Seriously, don't overlook the flan
Frita is the best sandwich in Miami!!!
The white clad cook, who closely guards his recipes, fries up an angry vat of chicharrones for the lucky few each week.
Maria's cortadito to close out your lunch is THE absolute troof. It's made with leche evaporada and a whole lotta love.
Check out El Mago de las Fritas as seen on Burger Land
MUST HAVE: Pan con bistec. Fritas are by far the best in Miami - & probably Cuba for that matter, have it with a fried egg on top. El Mago and his daughter Martica will always make at home, ask Obama!
Try something from "You Gotta Eat Here!": Frita Traditional, Pan con Bistec, or Mago’s Flan
George Motz recommended as part of USA Today article.
Make sure to check out all the cool items framed on the wall. Notice the Pres is drinking a Materva--elixir of the gods!
Do yourself a favor. Get any of the Frita variations (they're all great) and a batido de Mamey. If you fancy a pan con bistec then indulge yourself. Chicharrones on Saturdays. Thank me later!!
At El Mago de las Fritas, the polemic Cuban hamburger is $3.50, both delicious and affordable.
This cultural landmark opened in 1984. Host of Travel Channel’s Burger Land, George Motz, enjoys a frita which is a Cuban hamburger at El Mago de las Fritas.
When you go to this Gem, you have to let Martha and Barry tell you the story of how this place came to be. Loved every minute I was there and every piece of food I ate! Frita, chicharones, ajiaco, etc
Try the croqueta preparada. It is the best thing you'll ever eat in your life!
Frita Con Queso A Caballo. Dale, Que Tu Puedes. El Mago Is The Best And Most Consistent Frita In Town.
Try the Mamey Fruit Shake - Legendary!!
Best fritas in Miami. Hands down. [Eater 38 Member]
Try the Frita Cubano w/ cheese
Make sure you try the "Frita A Caballo". A frita topped with a fried egg!
