Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

El Cristo was wide open for business — including a vendor tent out in front of the establishment serving roast chicken, fried pork, and skewered meats. El Cristo also offered a traditional Central American salad that the restaurant’s representative above described as “not even Cuban.”
Still, El Cristo kept it real, kept it moving, and kept its patrons happy. Here’s a map of El Cristo’s location.
Check it out; even Google maps recognizes SW Eighth Street as Calle Ocho.
