CASAVANA CUBAN CUISINE – Restaurant

Between gates at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, Casavana runs a full Cuban kitchen in Concourse G, with table service, hot plates and a menu that would hold its own on the mainland. Start with a croqueta de jamon platter, queso frito with guava sauce, or yuca frita in cilantro-garlic sauce. Move to churrasco with chimichurri, vaca frita de lechon, chuleta de cerdo or camarones enchilados, served with white rice and black beans, congri or maduros. Pressed sandwiches travel well: cubano, medianoche and croqueta preparada, each served with mariquitas. A batido of mamey, fruta bomba or trigo makes the layover considerably better.
