YAMBO RESTAURANT – Mexican
Yambo is a Little Havana fixture that runs on its own logic: you order at the counter, grab a beer, and find a seat either in the open-air yard or the air-conditioned room. The cooking is Nicaraguan and unfussy — gallo pinto, carne asada, queso frito, tajadas verdes, carne desmenuzada, sopa de mondongo — and the fritanga platters arrive built for sharing. Regulars talk about the size of the plates against the price more than anything else, and about how little the place has changed. Parking is tight and the service is brisk rather than polished. That is the deal.
