The Palace of Juices:
One of the few Cuban classics remaining in Miami
Many visitors to Miami know little about Cuban cuisine; most frequently believing that Cuban food is not far removed from the Tex-Mex cooking they enjoy back home, and then disappointed to find nary a taco or burrito on the menu.

El Palacio de los Jugos—The Palace of Juices

At “El Segundo” in Westchester, they have their own version of Mr. Clean: a bare-pated gentleman in a white shirt and black vest who does nothing all day but assemble the pantheon of Cuban sandwiches to order from his perch in the middle of the store.
