LA HORMIGA DE ORO – Mexican
A Kendall fritanga that opens at breakfast and keeps going all day, serving Nicaraguan cantina food at prices the neighborhood has not caught up with. The bandeja is the move: carne asada, chicken or pork loaded onto one plate with gallo pinto, queso frito, maduros, tajadas, chicharron, yuca and cabbage salad. The carne asada is what regulars order without reading the menu. Service is fast and genuinely warm, portions are large, and nobody walks out hungry. Straight-ahead Nicaraguan cooking with no ceremony attached.
