Some places naturally call for authentic and comforting flavors. That is how Francisca arrives in Hialeah Gardens, inside Supermarket La Llave, as a familiar corner where the aroma of charcoal blends with the daily rhythm of the community.
Because if there is something that defines this neighborhood, it is that it never stops moving. And right in that rhythm, Francisca finds her place: a space where everyday moments and delicious food meet.
A restaurant with a Latin soul
In this new location, Francisca does not come with the idea of a large dining room or long tables. She arrives with something more in tune with the day to day of Hialeah Gardens: a practical take out format, close and ready to fit into your routine, with self service style support tables for anyone who wants to pause for a moment and enjoy their meal on site.
It is a more compact version of the Francisca experience, but with the same heart: food made with intention, fire at the center and the warmth that defines us.
Charcoal flavor that speaks for itself
Our charcoal grilled chicken, raised without hormones and cooked slowly, comes to Hialeah Gardens with the same aroma that wins people over from the very first bite. Golden, juicy and full of tradition, it continues to be the dish that has accompanied us since Francisca’s earliest days.
And along with the chicken come the flavors that keep people returning again and again:
• Soft hallaquitas wrapped in plantain leaves.
• Crispy chicharrones, perfect for a quick craving.
• Take out parrilla, ideal for sharing at home or at work.
• Francisca Meat Bowl, our most requested bowl for its perfect mix of picanha, rice, sweet plantains and freshness.
• Tres Leches by our sister Flor, the dessert that turns an ordinary day into something special.
Every option is designed to travel well, stay warm and reach your table or your shopping bag with its flavor intact.
A new space designed for your pace
This venue is not trying to be a traditional restaurant. It is meant to be a pause within your routine. A place to pick up your charcoal grilled chicken while you shop, to enjoy a fresh and uncomplicated lunch, to grab dinner on the way home or to sit for a few minutes at our self service style tables before continuing your day.
Francisca arrives in Hialeah Gardens to be company: in the rush, in the break, in the quick stop or the spontaneous craving.
Tradition that comes closer to you
Opening inside Supermarket La Llave is our way of being closer, more accessible and more practical without losing our essence. We bring the fire, the flavors of our homeland and the pride of our tradition to a place where the community already gathers, talks and shares.
Because that is who Francisca is: she goes where her people are.
