Approximately 2 years, Burger Beast wrote a story for edible South Florida (Pages 1-2 and 3) about the Frita Cubana. BB interviewed Mercy Gonzalez and her husband Gino about El Rey de las Fritas for over 2 hours. They talked a bunch about the history of the Frita Cubana in Miami and how her late Dad had started cooking them originally in Cuba. It really was very fascinating. What really caught our attention was her passion for the business that her father started almost 40 years. She cares about her customers, about the product she sells and about doing everything just like her old man taught her. You possibly won’t meet a more honest and hard working restaurant (s) owner than Mercy Gonzalez. Oh and she’s also got a great sense of humor which is why we asked her to be on The Grinder.
