LAS VEGAS CUBAN CUISINE – Spanish
A family business that began in Hollywood in 1984, when the Vilarino family - who had left Cuba in the 1980 Mariel boatlift - opened a single Cuban restaurant and called it Las Vegas. It has since grown to nine kitchens across Broward and Miami-Dade without losing the plot. Lechon asado, vaca frita, ropa vieja, oxtail and palomilla steak anchor the menu; there are croquetas and tamal con lechon to start, camarones al ajillo and paella valenciana from the sea, and a proper Cuban sandwich. Lunch specials run until five. Four decades in, still a family operation.
