LA CUBANITA CAFE – Spanish
A bright, diner-style Cuban cafe on West Lumsden Road in Brandon, open from early morning through evening every day of the week. Breakfast means Cuban toast and omelettes with café con leche; from midday the counter turns out the Cuban Special, media noche, mojo pork and steak sandwiches, with black bean or garbanzo soup alongside. Full plates come with yuca, platanos, and rice and black beans, and there is devil crab for anyone who knows to ask. Tres leches and flan close it out. Cheap, quick, and reliably Cuban.
