Tous Les Jours

Sweet Pumpkin Coffee Cake

This might be the best sweet at Tous Les Jours. It’s definitely our favorite. (…Or, is it one of those light and fluffy custard buns? Hmm.) Candied pumpkin chunks decorate the woven sweet bread that’s garnished with slivers of almond and black sesame seeds. […]

Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill

Masitas De Puerco

Tender, garlic-y cubes of roast pork are pan fried and served topped with a generous mound of gorgeous caramelized onions.

Congris & Maduros

Both were close to perfection. And, we both commented that Papi’s congris might just be […]

Antico Pizza Napoletana

The Diavola Pizza

Sopressata, Pepperonata, & Bufalo

Very generously loaded with thin slivers of sopressata, those thin slivers get crispy at the edges. It is those crispy edges that are one of the highlights of this delectable flavor combination. The way that the […]

Sweet Potato Fries @ Burger King

Burger King’s Sweet Potato Fries

Burger King’s new menu makes an easy target. And, say what you will about most of the new additions. These sweet potato fries are really good. We’d say they hover somewhere just above other fast food fry options. If we’re starving, we’d pick […]

Mariscos La Riviera Nayarit

Marlin Tostada

Forget tuna salad, this is what’s for lunch!

Salsa & Extra Lime On The Side

This might not be the prettiest of salsas. But, it sure was good and spicy.

Sweet Hut Bakery

Coconut Tarts

Glazed with (apricot?) jelly and topped with a cherry, these moist little coconut tarts are some of the best coconut tarts we’ve ever tasted.

Stuffed with a super moist and rich coconut filling that’s one part cake and one part cookie, […]

Havana Restaurant

Fried Pork with Onions And Peppers

Served with yellow rice dotted with peas and a condiment cup of red (creole?) sauce on the side, this is definitely the most unusual version of this dish we’ve ever seen. Sadly, the most notable seasoning on the onions and peppers was […]

Cuban Diner

Vaca Frita

Vaca Frita (Fried Cow)… This is one of the all-time great classic Cuban dishes. The best? On the right day, we might debate the issue.

Tender shreds of braised or roast beef are pan-fried until crispy at the edges. Then, it’s usually tossed with […]

Mambo’s Cafe

Masas de Puerco Frita

Tender chunks of roast pork are deep fried and served with onions marinated in mojo. Mojo is the secret ingredient to so many phenomenal Cuban dishes. This bright marinade and/or sauce consists of a blend of citrus, garlic and a touch of vinegar.

Hemp Chips

Food Should Taste Good Brand Hemp Tortilla Chips

The Taste?

Yep, it tastes like a tortilla chip.

But, there is a hint of smoky, nutty(ish) flavor that’s quite pleasant. That very light nutty flavor is probably closer to the roasty toasty […]
