let me start by saying that i grew up eating cuban food
my mother being from cuba and me growing up in venezuela blah blah blah
this is definitely not cuban food
believe me
say the word jicama to a cuban and he will look at you as if you had 12 heads
say the word papaya in polite company and get ready to be slapped
as a bonus i will educate you by letting you know in cuba it is called fruta bomba
what it is
something even better
let us call it fusion for lack of a better term
we ordered the croquetas
ensalada de papaya
picadillo and ribs
then we could not help ourselves a day had the fish tacos as well
all was really really really good
more than the sum of its parts
amazing
service was spot on
the place is tiny and adorable
celia cruz blasted on the speakers the whole time which made me happy and homesick
make sure to make reservations and have a mojito a mi salud
