…and if it’s fried to order it’s even better. This is how all the fritters such as alcapurrias, arepas, pastelillos and piononos are made in the Kiosko La Comay. On your way to Piñones (fritter and alcohol heaven) you will find dozens of kiosks selling these marvelous things that I love called alcapurrias, but don’t…

Here Fishy, Fishy!
It is possible to find fresh fish for a great price! My new favorite place is the epitome of a great food shack in a highly touristy area of the island. La Cambija in Rincón is modestly located in front of a house on a very busy road. Please don’t let this keep you from…
Sexy Breakfast
The place was packed and the waiting time was a killer, but the perfection on my eggs Benedict and the ginormous French toast made it all worth it. I ordered the ‘Blonda Breakfast’ from the brunch menu and I must say that the portions are enough for two, except the eggs Benedict, those, I would…

The crusted mahi-mahi was covered in this delicious, -French/tropical- sauce and rested over a bed of yucca hash.This is from El…
Plantains on my burger!
I wanted a burger, but not just ANY burger. I was craving something special, different and made for me. Right before lunch time, before everything gets busy, we decided to stop at the YamBurger by Chef Yamuel Bigio. It was raining and I had two hours to spare. This used to be a food truck and…
Magic Black Beans
Lost and found Looking through my mother’s recipe books, I found a long lost recipe from my Cuban godfather his ‘frijoles negros a lo Monchy’, (Black beans a la Monchy). I knew of the existence of these recipes but as a result of many moves they just went missing. There are two more recipes, one for…
Uorale, let’s eat!
It was little past lunch time (not really, make it 3pm), I was hungry and I remembered all the posts on Facebook that had been haunting me on my hungriest hours. So I went. I stopped to eat at Uorale Taquería Mexicana; A Food Truck tucked away in a parking lot, in the Jesús T….
