Shoutout to Maxi and all the community heroes at this venue. My husband was born in Hialeah, Florida and he grew up eating some of the best Cuban food in the state. We were so happy to be able to celebrate in the nostalgic flavors of the cuisine offered here. Hubby ordered the roast pork, black beans, and yucca. He loved the black beans here. It was well seasoned and had the perfect texture. We did indulge in the classic café con leches and some buttered toast. It also came with a side of honey. I ordered some of my favorites too. I had Carnitas Fritas De Puerco, yellow rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. Maxi brought me two types of hot sauce. My favorite ended up being the Housemade pepper sauce. It is a a thick pepper mash that adds the perfect spicy kick to any savory dish. This was a generous amount of pork. It was tender, well seasoned, and flavorful! Hubby was right one money about the beans! No gritty texture at all and to me, that is a sign of a skilled chef! The yellow rice was cooked well and every individual grain was giving love! The plantains were my guilty pleasure. It was soft, sweet, a great golden color, and luscious! It balances the savory with a little sweet. I love alternating bites of the sides with the pork. My senses were never bored. Boy, did we get full! And since it was my first visit, of course I had to sample a dessert. We picked the rice pudding. It was soft, sweet, thick pudding with a dusting of fragrant cinnamon. What a lovely meal!!! Maxi was so sweet, welcoming, and even sang along with some of the lovely salsa music playing overhead. A free concert! I'm so blessed! Great warm atmosphere, nostalgic flavors, and all presented by a precious staff. And a side note, there is parking in the front and a large parking lot in the back. I am already planning what I want to try...
