CUBAVANA CAFE – Spanish
A family-run Cuban cafe on Old Cutler Road in Cutler Bay, working from breakfast counter through late lunch. Mornings bring revoltillo, bistec a caballo and the house tortilla omelet with onions and potatoes, all served with cafe con leche. Later the board fills out with croquetas, tamal en hoja, papa rellena, pan con bistec and the pressed Cubano, then entrees of ropa vieja, vaca frita, masitas de puerco, churrasco with chimichurri and picadillo criollo. A different criollo special lands each day, from Saturday oxtail to Friday bacalao. Flan, tres leches and churros close it. Catering and party trays travel too.
