Today I had lunch with my friend, Maureen, at 90 Miles Cuban Café. This is a great place right in my hood. It has a superb patio and a "bring your own rum for mojitos" policy that can get a little crazy. Today, I ordered "The Cubano," which is a classic Cuban sandwich served on pressed French bread with ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard. Here is their version:
It was delicious, but it left me wanting for a little more flavor. I wasn't gonna send it back or anything - I mean a girl has to eat. Next time though, I will probably go for one of the steak chimichurri dinners. I also ordered an empanada because if a Cuban place can't make a good empanada, walk out. I got the "Ropa Vieja," which is shredded beef, peppers, and onions slow cooked in a creole sauce with some sort of green yumminess served on the side. Here it is:
It was THE BEST empanada I have ever had!!!! Oh my goodness, you must try it before you die. It is THAT good. So folks, in search of the best sandwich, I found the best empanada. I'll take it! Until next time, SAHM.
