NOW, WHERE I'M FROM CUBANS AREN'T WHO YOU NORMALLY SEE...DOMINICANS...MEXICANS...BUT NO CUBANS. LETS JUST SAY IVE ALWAYS BEEN ANXIOUS TO TRY THEIR FOOD.
ON MY FAVE SHELLIE'S BIRTHDAY WE DECIDED TO GO...SINCE SHE'S FROM MIAMI AND LOVES CUBAN FOOD.
WHILE THIS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TOTALLY AUTHENTIC WHEN IT COMES TO WHO PREPARED IT...IT WAS STILL GOOD.
FIRST AND FOREMOST THE BLACK BEANS WERE DELICIOUS!!!! NOW WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT LATIN "TASTE" THAT FOODS FROM THOSE CULTURES CAN HAVE...BUT THIS HAD A WHOLE NEW FLAVOR TO IT.
DISHES RANGE FROM CUBAN SANDWICHES TO EMPANANDAS TO STEAK WITH SIDES LIKE BLACK BEANS AND RICE, RED BEANS AND RICE, AND PLANTAINS.
AND GET THIS...... THE PRICES ARE VERY AFFORDABLE RANGING FROM ABOUT $1-10 AND YOU GET A NICE PORTION OF FOOD.
I HAD THE MEDIA NOCHE WHICH IS A CUBAN (HAM, SEASONED PORK, SWISS, PICKLES, AND MUSTARD WITH THEIR SPECIAL GORDO SAUCE) ON SWEET BREAD AND PRESSED..WITH A SIDE OF BLACK BEANS AND RICE.
GORDOS IS LOCATED IN TALLAHASSEE
THE ITEMS ON THEIR MENU ARE IN SPANISH WITH THE DESCRIPTIONS IN ENGLISH... I LOVED IT..AND IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING YOU GOTTA TRY!!
