HAVANA'S CUBAN CUISINE – Cuban
A made-from-scratch Cuban kitchen on Griffin Road, trading in Cooper City since 2010. The plates are the ones you'd hope for: palomilla steak with rice, beans and plantains; ropa vieja braised long in tomato and pepper; lechón asado with crisp edges. Croquetas open, and the Cubano and media noche hold up the sandwich end. What regulars keep saying is that it's consistent — the food lands the same way every visit, and the service is unhurried in the right way. Neighbourhood Cuban, done straight.
