Cuban Culinary Duo Returns to Roots with Food Bus Venture

Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 9, 2026 —

Quintin and María Teresa Larios, the culinary couple behind the former establishments Casa Larios and Larios on the Beach, have embarked on a new chapter in their careers, returning to their passion for Cuban cuisine. The pair is now serving their dishes from a food bus situated at Royd’s, a western-themed roadside attraction nestled in Miami’s Redland farming district.

This latest venture represents a significant comeback for the Larioses, who had previously announced retirements on multiple occasions. These decisions were largely influenced by various business setbacks and the considerable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry.

The Larioses have a history of establishing and operating well-regarded Cuban restaurants. Their return to the food service scene, albeit in a different format, signals a renewed commitment to sharing their culinary expertise. Operating from a food bus allows them to engage with customers in a more mobile and potentially adaptable setting, catering to the unique environment of the Redland district.

Royd’s, the chosen location, offers a distinct backdrop for the Larioses’ Cuban fare. The western theme of the attraction provides an unusual contrast to the traditional flavors they are known for, potentially drawing a diverse clientele.

The couple’s journey has been marked by resilience, navigating the challenges inherent in the restaurant business, including economic downturns and the unprecedented disruptions caused by the global health crisis. Their decision to re-enter the field highlights their enduring dedication to Cuban cooking and their drive to overcome obstacles.

Further details regarding the specific menu offerings or the timeline of their operations at Royd’s were not immediately available.
