| - Tiny, unassuming little shop in the middle of a strip mall. Cute, diner decor, with some Cuban flare thrown in - my fav were the wooden carvings of lit cigars gracing the northern wall.
Not the easiest place to eat as a veg, but its doable. Huge portions for the price, you can cobble a relatively balanced meal together out of sides (ensalada, arroz blanco, platanos or tostones, cassava) and appetizers (empanada de queso). Ensalada de Aquacate was insanely large for its 4.50 price tag. Empanadas were greeeeeasy but yum - plantains stellar and fried cassava, fantastic. Pepper plate consisted of two pico-esque soupy salsas and a puree of mostly cilantro with a mysterious kick.
Dunno if I'd make the jaunt by my lonesome, but I'll be back with pork lovers in tow. While they nosh their piles of carne, I'll be happily putting away empanadas and fried yuca. No problemo.
