Cuban Food Survey
Mmmm. . . Cuban food
There are four Cuban pillars, to our knowledge:
- Havana at Buford Hwy and North Druid Hills. A perennial favorite in Creative Loafing surveys, good flan, good tamales, good all around. Looks doubtful from outside, but don't judge by appearances.
- Kool Korners on 14th street. Cuban sandwiches, lunchtime only. Five stars. Looks downright daunting from outside, but don't judge by appearances.
- Las Palmeras on 5th street. They have these onions -- sliced thinly, lightly sauteed and zesty and lemony like nothing we've ever had. For real, these onions, they could charge $10 a plate and AG would still show up. We suspect the onions are first marinated in. . . vinegar and oregano? Looks quite normal from the outside.
And a (relatively) new joint, Papi's at Ponce and Myrtle. AG looks forward to trying this place more; our one visit to the vegetarian platter was a delight! Looks quite tony from the outside.
This is all we know of. Any more suggestions, please post. Any invitations to a real Cuban kitchen in someone's house, please forward directly to webmaster.
