CARLITOS CAFE – Mexican
A Kendall coffee window that opens at six in the morning and pours colada, cortadito and cafe con leche the way it has since 1995, tucked into a shopping centre off Kendall Drive. Order at the counter: ham or chicken croquetas, homemade Cuban empanadas with beef, chorizo or ham and cheese, handmade tequenos filled with cheese or guava, papa rellena, buttered tostada cubana, and the pan con bistec that anchors the board. Omelette sandwiches and croissants cover a lighter morning; Colombian empanadas nod to the wider neighbourhood. It shuts in the early afternoon, so this is strictly a breakfast-and-lunch habit.
