CUBANEST ARAB – Middle Eastern
A Cuban truck that opens before dawn in Miami and runs on coffee: colada, cortadito and cafe con leche pulled all morning beside a case of ham, chicken and cheese croquettes, beef and chicken empanadas, and guava, cheese or beef pastries. Breakfast is two scrambled eggs with ham, bacon or chorizo, roasted potatoes and toast, or an omelette sandwich on Cuban bread. Later the griddle handles a frita of ground beef and chorizo with potato sticks, the pressed Cubano, medianoche, pan con bistec, pan con lechon and palomilla steak. Papa rellena and chuleta ahumada turn up. Cheap, quick, squarely Cuban.
