That sounds so good! Thanks for sharing!

I ate there today! I love it. Very authentic. Just like Miami Cuban food. The pork and onions with black beans, white rice, and sweet plantains is my goto dish now. Will definitely be back soon!

Definitely! We really enjoyed the food!

Thanks for this! Definitely going there. Used to go to a Cuban bar in Kensington, London and that was jumpin’ back then. We trust your Mom and Dad’s verdict on whether the food is good or not, stop stealing it off them 🤣🤣🤣. Are your folks retired?

Cool! That sounds da like a good place in London. Haha they enjoy great food like us! It’s fun to bring them a long so we can try more 😂! They are retired so when they come down, they like exploring with us!

Place & food looks so amazing! We must put this on our Mt Dora restaurants to try out in the future. By the way, what were the three sauces?

Arroz con gandules is rice with green pigeon peas, it's a puertorican 🇵🇷 traditional Christmas side normally served with roasted pork or with deep fried pork cubes. It tastes similar to the dark Cuban 🇨🇺 moro rice you had with your shredded beef or ropa vieja. The flan is also a great dessert 🍨, but tres leches looks off the charts or "stinking good" as you guys say... My favorite there is the deep fried red snapper with mofongo! Bon appetit!

Your mother ordered Morro & Cristiano rice which is white rice cooked with black beans. Next time have her order a different side dish not the black bean soup cause she already has it in her dark rice.

Wearing a hat is normal in today’s society.

Why do you guys share only one plate of food … instead of getting each your own plate?

@thealtemlife

Жыл бұрын

Because we don’t want to be extremely full on just one meal. Most of the time we are out and about all day so we try and get a couple restaurants in and don’t want to fill up just off one. Plus it is cheaper to share and when you do, you can get more items like appetizers and desserts. Good question!

Just out of curiosity is there a reason you like to say stinking good?

@thealtemlife

Жыл бұрын

Good question! It’s something we have said for a while so when we find something very, very good, we express that by saying stinkin’ good. It’s like when you are on a cooking show and the biggest compliment is to get a handshake. Saying stinkin’ good is like getting the handshake 😀

When we have our family in and they pay for the meal, we usually don’t know how much the total bill was. We want to say it was in the $70s but not sure. When we pay, we make sure we show the bill.
