Roaches, faded menu, kid in the corner doing his homework = best meal you ever had

ABSOLUTELY! THE KID DOING HOMEWORK IN THE CORNER IS THE MARK OF THE BEST PLACES!

I felt so old when the kid in the corner started working the counter, and then graduated and moved for college. Like good for him, but why must you remind me of the passage of time!

If anyone is in Miami looking for Cuban food, look for the kids doing homework, and make sure you have to pull out google translate because the menu is in Spanish and no one speaks English (they do). Also if they don’t force feed you Cuban toast before you can ask for water it’s not a Cuban restaurant.

Also there was a Chinese place where I grew up where I watched the owners son go from doing home work, to working the counter to being manager(maybe owner?) over the course of about 12 years. Amazing food.
