A spiced Cuban beef-and-chorizo patty on a soft Cuban bun, topped with shoestring potato strings and raw onion. The Miami hamburger; eaten standing at a counter, washed down with a guarapo or Materva cola.
Frita cubana originated in 1920s Havana, a Cuban riff on the American hamburger using paprika, cumin and ground chorizo in the patty. Cuban exiles brought the dish to Miami in the 1960s; El Mago de las Fritas in West Miami (opened 1984) and El Rey de las Fritas (4 Miami locations) hold the modern canon. The signature topping of crispy shoestring potatoes (papas julianas) sets the frita apart from any other burger format. Best eaten at lunch counters, never on white tablecloths.
