Fritanga Las Piedrecitas
Included In
Hialeah is certainly the place to find stellar Cuban food in Miami, but as many have realized over the years, La Ciudad que Progresa is a lot more diverse than that. Case in point: there are actually quite a few Nicaraguan restaurants in the area, including Las Piedrecitas, which is a favorite among Nicaraguans living in and around Hialeah for its dependably good food and casual vibe. On top of the typical fritanga steam counter, there is also a bakery case where you can pick up traditional cookies and pastries, like picos - triangular sweet breads stuffed with cheese and other fillings. There’s also a cold case featuring a variety of Nicaraguan cheeses and cultured dairy products, some of which are even locally made. This makes Las Piedrecitas a one-stop destination for getting a pretty full taste of what Nicaragua has to offer, allowing you to order some hot food to enjoy there and some treats to take back home.
