rev:text	Though I sooo don't look it, I actually am half Cuban...and I loves me some Cuban food! Hard to get where I live unfortunately, so when I travel, I usually try to do a search to see if any can be had in my destination city. Did I do it before my recent last minute trip to Vegas?? Uhhh, NO! But luckily, the sister stumbled across this little gem in the back of a magazine...yay for us! I was dubious about this place due to its location. I mean really, how good could it be? It was part of a crusty old Howard Johnson's in a rather run down (dare I say skanky?) part of town...not exactly inspiring! But, for me, the lure of platano maduro cannot, nay, WILL NOT be denied, so off to Florida Cafe we went! The restaurant was cute enough inside, with a nice tropical feel - perhaps a bit tired but had a relaxed, easy going vibe. Our waitress was gracious, accomodating and the service was fairly prompt. No complaints. We started off with the ensalada de aguacate. A large portion of avocado and a nice presentation...it was served dry and I missed the ubiquitous yummy garlicky dressing that I've come to expect. We made due with the oil and vinegar available but it just wasn't the same. Still tasty though. For our entrees, we both opted for the black beans and rice and of course, my all time fav, platano maduro!! First off, the beans were cooked perfectly...dark, rich and flavorful. Deeelish! As for the platano, I was in sweet ripe fried plantain heaven!! They were uberyummy...soft, sweet, dark, dark brown (almost looked burnt, but trust me, that's a good thing!!) and had chewy, carmelized edges. God, I live for those crusty edges!!!! Yea, I'm weird that way! Oh and the bread was yummy too! So, is this the best Cuban food I've ever had? No, that is reserved for Versailles in Miami and, to a lesser degree, La Cubana in Glendale. But it was really good...reasonable, tasty and very satisfying. And though I cannot vouch for any of their other offerings, I was more than pleased with the experience and am looking forward to my next visit to Vegas and Florida Cafe! And yes, I did take 2 additional orders of platano maduro home with me!!! God I love that shit!
