2025 Centurion Award winner

El Palacio de los Jugos

Best Fruit Stand & Kitchen in Miami · Miami, FL

Restaurant · Miami, FL · Since 1977

The overview

Juice, chicharron, and pure Miami

El Palacio de los Jugos has been a raucous, only-in-Miami market and kitchen since 1977, its original West Flagler location piled high with tropical fruit and lined with steam-table counters. You order fresh jugos naturales — mamey, guanábana, sugarcane — alongside heaping plates of lechón, moros, and yuca.

Part fruit stand, part cafeteria, part Cuban-Miami crossroads, El Palacio serves some of the city's most authentic criollo cooking to a crowd that eats standing at the counter — an institution of working Miami.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after El Palacio de los Jugos cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again.
