Sergios Cuban American Kitchen
Miami's Legendary Cuban Kitchen Since 1975
Fifty years into a Miami love affair, Sergio's Cuban American Kitchen is the institution behind croquetas so beloved that Miami-Dade and Broward celebrate an official Croqueta Day. It started with two Cuban women: grandmother Maria Elsa, who left Cuba with her recipes, and daughter Blanca, who bought a 1975 sandwich shop in the 1980s to get her mother out of factory work and cook the food they remembered from home.
Grandson Carlos Gazitua now runs the business, which has sold over 20 million croquetas and built the six-foot showstopper at the heart of the documentary Croqueta Nation, executive produced by Emilio Estefan. Ropa vieja, Cuban sandwiches, empanadas, and guava pastries, cooked from the family recipes, are shipped nationwide on Goldbelly.
