I know this sounds like sacriledge, but I wish my mother would have cooked Cuban food like this. I know, I know you aren't supposed to badmouth your mom's cooking, but... the Lechon Asado I had at La Taza over the weekend, was the best. Being Cubana, via Miami, I've eaten my share of Lechon Asado. Though I still think my mom's Ropa Vieja was better, it's the idea that there putting a twist on the dishes that is especially appealing. Try the Costillas de Guayaba...smoky, tangy sauce, really Good! Finished with a Cafe Cubano, my central nervous system thanked me. Want to go back on another Saturday to hear the Cuban Son and get a table on the patio this time. Viva La Taza!
Pros: Serious Mojito, Cool/Cozy Ambience, Interesting Dishes
