La Casa Del Churrasco
Business Description
Established in 1982 and operating continuously at the same East Hialeah location for over four decades, La Casa del Churrasco is one of South Florida's most recognized Cuban and Latin American restaurants — a true community institution with deep brand equity, multi-generational customer loyalty, and a long history of hosting local political figures, community leaders, and notable Cuban-American personalities. This turn-key 5,700 sq ft restaurant sits on East 9th Street in the heart of Hialeah's most active commercial corridor, surrounded by a densely populated, predominantly Hispanic market of over 220,000 residents with consistent foot and vehicle traffic. The sale includes the complete commercial kitchen with hood and fire suppression system, walk-in coolers and freezers, prep stations, dining room furniture and fixtures, POS system, all small wares, the established Beer & Wine (4 COP) liquor license, the trade name and signage, and inventory at closing — a new operator can step in and run from day one without rebuilding infrastructure or rehiring staff. The lease is a gross lease at $15,000/month (approximately $2.63 per sq ft, well below comparable Hialeah restaurant space), and the landlord is prepared to execute a fresh 3-year lease at the current rate with 4.5% annual escalations for a qualified buyer. Approximately 22 experienced employees are in place across kitchen and front of house, many with long tenure, and the current owner is willing to provide reasonable training and transition support. Significant revenue upside is available to a buyer who restores the historical 24/7 operation — the overnight shift previously contributed approximately $30,000 per month in additional sales before COVID and remains a clear, capturable growth lever — with further upside in catering, third-party delivery partnerships (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub), private events, and modern social media marketing, channels the current owner has not actively developed. Grandfathered health and safety inspections from continuous long-term operation and the established name transfer smoothly if the new owner keeps the brand intact. Motivated seller, All Cash preferred but conventional financing considered with proof of funds; financials available to qualified buyers under signed NDA. Showings by appointment only to avoid disrupting ongoing operations.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- La Casa del Churrasco operates in the heart of Hialeah, Florida — a densely populated, predominantly Hispanic community of over 220,000 residents in Miami-Dade County. The restaurant is situated on East 9th Street in an established commercial corridor with strong neighborhood traffic, easy access from major arteries, and consistent walk-in patronage built over four decades. Hialeah's restaurant market is anchored by long-standing Cuban and Latin American dining institutions, and La Casa del Churrasco is among the most recognized in this category, with deep ties to the local community, political figures, and multi-generational families who have made the restaurant a destination since 1982.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant untapped revenue opportunity exists by restoring the historical 24/7 operation. Prior to COVID, La Casa del Churrasco operated around the clock and the overnight shift generated approximately $30,000/month in additional sales — revenue that is not currently being captured under day-shift-only operations. A new operator willing to staff the night shift could meaningfully grow top-line revenue without significant additional fixed cost beyond labor. Additional opportunities include catering expansion, third-party delivery partnerships (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub), private events, and modernized marketing through social media — areas the current owner has not actively developed. Retaining the existing name and brand equity will accelerate the transition and preserve the established customer base.
