Gilbert's Bakery on Bird — Restaurant in Florida

Update Nov 2022 They went back to there old ways of making the salgados de pollo..ty so far they are GREAT AGAIN....yum yum

I'm giving them a 3 for the inconsistency on there Salgados de Pollo lately. They actually totaly changed only about a coulple of months ago.I've been eating these treats since they 1st opened on 37ave and sw 16 street, I believe in the late 80's or early 90's. I was born and raised in the coral gate area near there and I would go religiously every Saturday morning. I go now every Friday and order them online to pick up.

We are an island born Cubano family that holds and enjoys continuing the foods and traditional flavors we remember from growing up Santiago, Cuba.

Leaving Cuba many decades ago and settling in upstate NY, our options for authentic foods are limited at best.

I found Gilbert's over 20 years ago through my Cuban staff (mama's) while in old downtown Miami.

We lost Abuela much too early recently, and i always loved taking her to Gilbert's to see her smile simply from the pure and authentic visuals and smells.

We came again this past week on her passing day to actually smile and celebrate her memory...through your continued love and focus on cultural/traditional foods.

Thank you...

If you have not visited them and want a simple but strong visual, aromatic sense of the best foods...

When I saw them I laughed because it was actually a little sweet bread with some ham slices, a little slice of cheese and a pickle, and the Elena ruth same type of bread with turkey instead of ham and the worst jelly ever - and for that they charged $2!!!I don't know how people eat their desserts. They really need to change their bakers and actually they need an overhaul! However, people buy because it is the only bakery...
