CAJIO'S CUBAN CUISINE – Spanish
Cajio's Cuban Cuisine works the format Miami does best: a Cuban counter in a shopping-mall food court, open from breakfast and still going at dinner. The pressed Cuban sandwich and a shot of Cuban coffee are the anchors, with plates starting around five dollars. Behind the glass sit the steam-table staples, picadillo, roast pork, black beans over white rice, plus stuffed potatoes and beef empanadas for a walking lunch, and flan or rice pudding after. Order at the counter, take a tray, sit down with the shoppers. Cheap, fast, unmistakably Cuban, and busy from the first coffee poured each morning.
