YUKA DELI RESTAURANT – Japanese
A short hop from MIA, this Virginia Gardens counter serves Dominican home cooking to people on their lunch break and people who drove out of their way. Mangu with fried salami and cheese anchors the morning; later it is mofongo con masitas de cerdo, carne guisada, pollo frito, sancocho, fried empanadas and rice and beans done properly. Chicharron sin hueso has a following. Finish with a slice of Dominican cake and a cafecito. Bright, clean, unpretentious. Regulars say it tastes like being back on the island.
