"Traditional Cuban dishes like ropa vieja (shredded beef) and pan con lechon (roast pork sandwich) are favorites, alongside notable specialty items, such as the tostone burger (a choice of chicken or steak burger between two crispy plantain discs instead of bread buns). And the cocktails, from the La Cubanita Espresso Martini to los mojitos, that use natural tropical fruit juices like guanabana (soursop), maracuya (passion fruit), and coconut are great for kicking off any celebration." - Didi Paterno
