CARNE ASADA EL NICA – Mexican
A Nicaraguan grill and tortilleria on West Flagler Street, deep in Sweetwater, where the beef gets marinated, thrown over fire and served with rice, beans and tortillas made on the premises. The board runs well past carne asada: bistec de pollo asada, lengua en salsa, fricase de res, carne desmenuzada, salpicon, camarones and fajitas de carne in salsa jalapena, plus queso frito and tacos de pollo. Soups get their own list. Mornings bring gallo pinto, huevos revueltos and a Central American breakfast plate. Doors open around dawn and stay open toward midnight. Prices stay honest across the whole long board.
