I walk here and everyone knows me, everyone talks to me, everyone stops me. I’ve lived all of these years in Westchester. Although I am retired, I still need to work and make money. I’m at work five days out of the week, from Monday to Friday. In one day, 100 people might come to the window. When it’s open, people are already there, waiting to buy. Many people who used to come here have passed away, or moved on, but we now have lots of Venezuelans and people from other countries. We’ve had a steady clientele in the three decades I’ve worked at Sergio’s. We also serve croquetas, empanadas, papa rellena, sandwiches – everything that people want to take with them. Customers really like the café con leche. I make cafecitos – cortadito, café espresso, colada, café con leche. I attend the counter and the window, and I take orders to the window. I’ve been working at the same location and at the same spot, the counter, since I moved to Miami.Īt the counter, I grab the orders. I had a friend from Camaguey who worked at Sergio’s Cuban Kitchen & Bar and he told me, “When there’s an opportunity, you’re going to come to Sergio’s.” In 1987, the opportunity was there and I started immediately. I left Cuba in 1985 to go to Guatemala, and then Mexico, and then I arrived here in the United States.
