CHUCHY'S CAFE – Mexican
A Palm River Road counter that opens at half past five in the morning and runs on Cuban coffee. Chuchy's Cafe is a weekday breakfast-and-lunch operation: cortaditos and cafe con leche, egg-and-cheese sandwiches stacked with bacon, ham, sausage or steak, scrambled eggs with papas, and pancakes for the slower mornings. Empanadas come pollo, carne, guava-and-cheese or papa rellena; crab croquettes too. Lunch turns to pressed Cubans, tripleta and pulled-pork sandwiches, croqueta and steak sandwiches, pork chops, ropa vieja, beef tail, lamb and fried rice. Flan, torrejas and arroz con leche finish the plate. Order at the counter, take it away.
