La Teresita Restaurant first began in 1972 as “La Teresita Grocery”. This small grocery store grew into a fish and meat market and a small coffee and sandwich shop. La Teresita’s coffee and sandwich shop, or their “cafeteria” as it became known, was quickly successful and it had to be moved to a new location to accommodate the size of their crowds. Then, in 1993, La Teresita moved for a final time, allowing for another evolution. Now set in a 14,000 square foot, two-story space, La Teresita began offering a more traditional, sit-down restaurant on the east side of their new building, while keeping their famed cafeteria on the west side. For a complete dining experience, we recommend eating in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is a replica of the original coffee and sandwich shop and the service here is quick and informal and the food is amazing. Although La Teresita Restaurant is famous for their version of the classic Cuban sandwich, you can try numerous other Cuban specialties here as well, such as their Puerco Asado, their Ropa Vieja, and their Patas de Cerdo..
