While you are in the area, go to La Teresita off of Park Blvd. and 66th St North. It's in an old Rax!?! Roast Beef Building, but has been there for 20-25 years. AMAZING authentic cuban food. The Roast Pork with black beans, yellow rice (white is more "traditional"), plantains, and a cafe con leche to eat with the cuban bread.... oh man!
I grew up there, my mom still lives there and so I visit frequently... but I (half-kid?!?) that I always stop at La Teresita first, and then to mom's!
Oh the Vaca Frita and the cuban sandwich are also favorites. But it is ALL quite tasty.
