Beloved by Many

El Mago de las Fritas is considered to be one of those "hole-in-the-wall" restaurants that can fly under the radar. However, any patron will tell you that it's a spot to put on your bucket list.

That's because the restaurant has a cozy feeling and the staff are very friendly. Plus, they're passionate about the food they serve, which is evident the moment you sit down.

When you arrive, you're greeted warmly by the owner or another worker. By the time you leave, you'll feel like you're a member of the family. In fact, people from all walks of life love stopping by again and again-from celebrities and sports figures to residents and their visiting guests.

What the People Like to Eat

Perhaps the biggest reason why people love visiting, though, is the food. The Frita, especially, is the dish to get.

It's a sandwich that consists of all-natural frita meat with a recipe that's been in the family since the 1950s. Plus, they make their own skinny fries to place on top of the meat. Everything is cooked fresh and nothing comes from a can.

They have several versions of The Frita to choose from, including the:

  • Frita Europa: Swiss cheese and two croquetas.
  • Confundida: frita, ham, pulled pork, and Swiss cheese.
  • Big Magic: double frita with a Hawaiian tostone between the patties, plus cheese, lettuce, and onion.

You'll then want to save room for dessert. While there are lots of tasty options, we recommend the Flan. It's full of flavor and seems to be a crowd favorite.
