Oh. My. Gosh. This place rocks. After walking two miles to discover the place we had planned on going to dinner was closed, Alex and I ended up at this fabulous joint:
Cubana Cafe. The inside was small and homey and the decor made me feel like I just stepped into a party in Cuba. The walls were bright, seating was tight and the food was comforting.

To start off we ordered a
Relleno de papa: crispy mashed potato stuffed with savory ground beef, served with a tomato cilantro relish and it was so, so good! Next we moved on to what I'm assuming was baked slices of Plantain with some homemade sauces.
Finally it was time for the main course. We ordered a
Shrimp with Roast Garlic Platter with tomato salsa, rice and black beans and
Palomilla: pounded chicken breast marinated in garlic lime and onions, served with rice and beans. It sure did hit the spot!
