One Lamb Shish Kebab, Please!
The smell of incense drew me in. The colors, the lamps and the atmosphere made me stay. I knew I was in for a great meal when I realized that by fate I got to Ali Baba, a Turkish, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant in Condado. I fell in love with Turkish food from the…
The Infamous Hot Dog
It’s a million times better than the ones you get at a gas station, at least here in PR. It’s also commonly found in corners nearby government offices, prices are ridiculously affordable and one is never enough. The street car hot dogs, I love them.
