Description

What this family-owned Cuban restaurant and bakery lacks in atmosphere, it more than makes up for in food. A wide variety of traditional, authentic Cuban dishes made in an open kitchen draws many Cubans. The empanadas are homemade and come in four varieties, all worth trying. Also recommended are the ropa vieja (shredded beef in a tomato sauce), the roast pork and the shrimp in garlic sauce, all served with outstanding rice and black beans and plantains.

    Flor de Cuba never skimps on authentic flavor or Latin flair while serving up all of the best traditional Cuban dishes. Start your day off with a tortilla abuelita (omelet with fried plantains) and one of the most authentic cups of café cubano you'll find outside of Havana. Or stop by for dinner and feast on chuletas de puerco, garlicky black beans and fluffy white rice. There is also a full bar serving up great mojitos, a bakery filled with tropical fruit treats, and live music on... More »

    Looking for a feast? Try Flor de Cuba's parrillada cubana, a cornucopia of island delicacies including chuletas (pork chops), macitas (fried pork chunks), pechuga de pollo (grilled chicken breast), camarones al ajillo (shrimp in garlic) and vaca frita (fried beef).

Then try one of Flor de Cuba's weekly specials, such as roasted pork on Saturday afternoons or arroz con pollo on Sundays. Since Flor de Cuba has an in-house bakery, the flan, arroz con leche and papaya con crema are always fresh and light. They even have long loaves of Cuban bread, in case you want to make a Cuban sandwich at home.
