The sandwiches and shakes here are the best. It’s been around since I was a kid(at least 25 years) and hasn’t changes much. Though I do remember when it was half the size. Many options on the menu are tempting but I always end up with a bistec con todo and extra polivitaminico. «Dame un bistec con todo y un extra!» Andres, the main guy, has a calculator in his head. Despite each items odd pricing, adding a nickel here, a dime less there, he calculates your total in milliseconds. I suspect this is a side effect of heavy domino playing as a child. Parking is tricky around the lunch rush. Be careful backing out onto 29 St.

My father and I were their first customers over 30 years ago. This is some of the best representation of Cuban food anywhere in greater Miami. Pan con croquetta or lechon and or chorizo are amazing. Trigo shake will rock your world.

This place is simple and delicious. The prices are low and the quality is high. If you’re in Hialeah, it’s definitely worth a stop here – especially if you want to try some awesome batidos. I tried the batido de guanabana today and it was amazing!

Love this place for the fast service and the ridiculously low prices on there food. Sandwiches do not go over $ 4.50 which is unreal. This place as far as I’m concerned has the BEST pan con bistec in south Florida. There shakes and fruit juices are the best in town. I have tried a few of them and they have never been a let down. Love the Mamey shake and there Banana Shake. Mmmmm Mmmm Good. The only negative is and I really cant say it’s a negative, it is what it is basically. This place is a no frills kind of place. You can stand around and have a quick lunch in less than ten minutes. There are no seats, standing room only and take out. You cant be shy in this place you have to stand there and as soon as you get eye contact with one of the guys taking orders just go ahead and yell out your order. This is the only way to get service. Also keep in mind«CASHONLY» Bring a ten spot and you will get change in return… Parking can be a little tricky but I usually park in the McDonald’s or on the side street without an issue. Love this place… Hialeah — La cuidad que progresa… :)

I stumbled upon this place when I got lost in Hialeah… which can be a great deal traumatizing for a white boy. I’m adequate when it comes to directions, but not in this land north of Okeechobee. The North becomes East, the South becomes West… and before you know it, you’re buying up Mamoncillos, naranja peladas and frozen bottles of ice from the street just to survive… Hialeah has some great little hidden places. You know about them only because you grew up/work in the area, word of mouth or you finally mastered the language that’s not found on Rosetta Stone… El Mejor Batido is one of those places. The prices are ridiculous. The juices are fresh and milkshakes very filling. Batido de Mamey, de Guanábana, de Granadilla(Passion Fruit Shake) Mango, Peaches, Watermelon, Coconut, Papaya… sick! The few times I went I felt I robbed the place with a lunch options under $ 5.00… I’ve grabbed a Pan con Lechon($ 2.10), Pan con Bistec($ 3.85), Pan con Croqueta($ 2.60), Pan con Chorizo($ 2.80) with sides of papas fritas each time… Standing room only. Grab a counter spot away from the serving area or by the security bar caged windows. Parking is non existent but I’ve always managed to grab a spot across the street and people are quick to get in, order and move out. Try it.

Ok this ones tricky to rate because it’s a matter of personal character and latin flavor involved. This little sandwich and juice slash milk shake shop is a favorite among the local working stiffs and students. I have come here with other folks non locals and they have either not liked or remained neutral about the food and the place. First its always packed and stand up room only, second if its your first time there quickly review the menu on the wall in front of you and then aggressively muscle your way through the crowd and literally snatch or get the attention of someone behind the counter to place your order quickly, No ummm or ohhh here buddy, order quick or you’ll be talking to yourself. After that enjoy the many varieties of cuban style sandwiches, milk shakes and juices that are made rather quickly, my personal favorite is Pan con Tomate y ajo and a mellon juice with ice. 7.5 out of 10, its one of those places that you either love or hate. I love it

Im currently having a batido de naranja con papaya without sugar +sandwich de pollo. This place is a hole in a wall with its own characteristics. Cash Only! No drama and you can’t be picky with your order and get all fu fu. Great place for lunch to pick up or eat there and their prices are good.

El Mejor Batido is great. Fresh juices, milkshakes and sandwiches for dirt cheap. Cash only and closed on Sundays.

This is one of Hialeah’s gems. It’s also known as «El Mejor Batido de Hialeah”(Hialeah’s best milkshake) — and that’s not a lie. Go here for lunch, try the watermelon juice; It’s freshly prepared, as all their juices and milkshakes are. Please do not come here and ask for a chocolate milkshake, you can get that anywhere. Test the exotic fruits like mamey or mango. Nothing on their sandwich menu exceeds $ 3.75. They also prepare pan con ajo(garlic bread sandwich), or pan con ajo y tomate(garlic bread and tomato sandwich) — which is usually something you’d only make at home. Basically, if you’re not bothered by dirty old Cuban men, and standing at a counter to eat, go here and munch out for under $ 10. It’s a 3rd world country in there, and it’s amazing.

when in West Hialeah and want something quick to eat along with a fresh made fruit juice this is the place. it is a bit of a sore to the eye and no place to sit… but service is quick, juice and shakes are delicious! sandwiches vary from a grilled chicken boneless breast on a round soft bun with lettuce and tomato, pan con biste(steak sandwich) pixie fries included! to a pan con tortilla or better yet not concern with garlic breathe — A MUSTHAVE — pan con ajo y tomato(cuban bread toasted with garlic and tomato) mouth watering YUMMY… and to drink — any fruit made into a deliciously creamy cool shake!!! for those who are brave and faithful to your treadmill at least 6 days a week — have the Suspiro — this is freshly squeezed OJ with condensed milk — heavenly sweet! WARNING most patrons are men(very few ladies) and there is really no sitting area — you have to either take it and go or eat on the counter against wall inside… be brave and don’t look too much around cleanliness is not their main goal(i have never seen any unwelcome critters there or anything) just alot of bread crumbs and stuff on floor… BEBRAVEANDTRYENJOYIT!
