Estefan Kitchen Express
Finding it
Estefan Kitchen Express is in Marketplace 2nd Level Departures by Gate D-27 in North Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
North Terminal has 51 places to eat and 60 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
The counter sits at Gate D-27 in the North Terminal's Marketplace, near Lilly's Munchies, Misha's Cupcakes and Peet's Coffee along the same 2nd-level stretch. It opens at 6am, ahead of the terminal's first wave of departures, and stays open until 10pm, covering the last evening flights out of Terminal D. There's no second Estefan Kitchen Express at MIA, so it's the only spot in this concourse serving Cuban sandwiches and pork flatbreads rather than bagels or empanadas. Like its neighbors, it runs as a walk-up counter geared toward a quick meal before boarding rather than table service.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
