Yep. There is none! I think the two I found out about were both through this channel. But, on the flip side, I think Mexican food only has grown in NY within the last decade.

There are different types of "coños" on the island but that was not the typical coño.LOL its usually pronounced Con,ño! With the exclamation on the Ño and sometimes it's just Ñoo We even got a store in Miami calle Ñoooo que barbato. Cubans are like the Jamaicans of the Spanish speaking world we shorten all words up.

another plate.. arroz con leche!!! in many Latino countries is "maily made" for the babie's "first tooth" but made for every occasion..... in fact there's a "children's song": "Arroz con leche se quiere casar con una señorita de la capital, que sepa cocer, que sepa bordar (now the two different versions I've heard), que sepa "las tablas de multipiliar" or "que sepa abrir la puerta para ir a jugar"), contigo si, contigo no, contigo si me caso yo, casate conimgo que yo te dare, zapatos y medias color de care.... hahahahaha you've just brought so many factors of my childhood together, thank you so much!!
I was seriously craving everything in this video!! Gadiel knows how to eat!
I am so hungry now. Can anyone bring one of these to Tulsa Oklahoma please
me encanta la comida caribeña ❤️
I 💖 TONY, HES SO FUNNY 😂 & I 💖 GADIEL EL🐅 , IM CUBAN & THE ROPA VIEJA LOOKS DELICIOUS👏👏 & THE MOFONGO TOO👏👏👏
Ropa vieja for my picky son is meat spaghetti for him. Im beyond happy when he asks for more
AMAZING! JUST AMAZING! WOULD LOVE TO TRY IT OUT! 🇵🇷❤️🇩🇴❤️🇨🇺
Como te amo, mi Gadiel!!!💖
finally cuban content 😄
Next time you guys should go to Tropicana in Downey!
My mouth water. 🤤 I want to try the food from there now.
Me dió hambre! Voy pa’llá a comer comida de Quisqueya La Bella! 🇩🇴 Que viva RD!
En Bolivia (Santa Cruz de la Sierra) también comemos flan y arroz con leche XD
Oye, Gadiel! Pero es verdad que tú ta gozando en Cali, hermano! Buen provecho, paisano! 🇩🇴
Ahora mismo I am here in the restaurant. It is sooo refreshing to see a place like this in Cali!!! Right now I am drinking a Dominican Old Fashioned smoked drink and ordered a Mofongo con Rabo Encendio!!! Yeaaahhhhh love it!!!

Cómo qué no encuentras arroz con leche en CA? Thats a Mexican staple dessert sold every where! Y’all (Dominicans) use different ingredients or something?
Yall got me inspired. Wonder if I can create a Dominican/Faroese food choice for my daughter 😊❤. Probably something with Lamb or the very tasty bird of the summer that tastes like chicharron Nata 🤔.
Jajaja.....you guys remind me why I ❤️ being Latina!
Gadiel needs his own show no cap
I love this restaurant! I’m so glad you did a video review !!
Yessss! Love this ! Uuuuu you know what I love more the arroz con leche habichuelas con dulces 🥰🥰🥰
This made me laugh so much, in a very good way, I think there are so many countries that have ropa vieja... I came from Panama, which we were brought up eating it... I introduced it to my husband, and he can't think of other method of eating this meat any other way!! especially with rice and platanos maduros fritos or with fried bread (hojaldres or as known in other countires arepas).. mmm mmm mmmmm
This video is one of the best I've seen yet.
I’m Mexican and I grew up eating arroz con leche. It’s a Mexican dessert as well
