Kuba-Kuba Description:
At the busiest times, patrons face a frantic staff and a crowded dining area, where it is first come, first served. Good aromas will lure you to a seat anyway, and with appetite in hand, settle down to a slightly offbeat menu of mostly Cuban drinks and dishes. Kick off the meal with an order of empanadillas (we like these stuffed with slightly sweetened Cuban beef hash), but other choices include black bean soup topped with lime sour cream and scallop ceviche on mixed greens. Want a casual entrée? Why not a Cuban sandwich with roast pork and Smithfield ham on Cuban bread, or better still, the lusty huevos rancheros, the Cuban rendition of this Mexican classic with two fried eggs atop Cuban bread and a pool of red beans? More substantial dishes include arroz con pollo or a seafood sofrito. Desserts are here aplenty, from a chocolate cappuccino mousse pie to a towering slice of tres leches cake (chocolate or yellow), a don't-skip custardy sweet topped with loads of stiff, whipped frosting, and made by the owner's mother.
