San Lazaro Cafeteria

Welcome to San Lazaro Cafeteria, a delightful gem nestled in the heart of Hialeah, Florida. This charming café is more than just a spot to grab a bite; it's a vibrant community hub where local flavors and warm hospitality come together in perfect harmony.

At San Lazaro, you can expect a delightful trip through Cuban-inspired cuisine. As the aroma of freshly brewed Café Pilón envelops you upon entry, you'll know you're in for a treat. Their breakfast offerings, available from as early as 8 AM, are particularly celebrated. Imagine savoring a plate of fluffy scrambled eggs paired with crispy tocino (cured pork) and perfectly seasoned rice, all for a budget-friendly price of just $6. It's a hearty and satisfying start to your day that even the Michelin Guide would be hard-pressed to overlook (albeit, perhaps, the one from the tire shop down the street!).

What sets San Lazaro apart is its genuine atmosphere. It embodies the essence of a local hangout, with walls that resonate with the laughter and camaraderie of its frequent patrons. As you sip on an ice-cold beer or a glass of exquisite wine—both offered at remarkable prices—you'll feel a sense of belonging amidst the friendly chatter of the regulars and the welcoming smiles from the staff and owner. Customers rave about the exceptional service that makes every visit feel special, as highlighted by Daniel Casagrande's endorsement of the café’s dedication to the local workforce and their appreciation for good, affordable dining.

For those seeking a casual spot to unwind, the billiards table beckons for a friendly game while enjoying your drink of choice. As Mark Scheinbaum charmingly notes in his review, San Lazaro might appear unassuming at first glance, but rest assured, it hides a treasure trove of delicious food and a unique charm that captures the heart of its visitors.

So, if you find yourself wandering through Hialeah and feeling a pang of hunger, don’t just pass by! Venture into San Lazaro Cafeteria for a meal filled with flavor, warmth, and local spirit. You'll leave not only satisfied but also eager to return.
