"Cuban-born chef Raynold Mendizábal’s playful homage to Havana’s party scene debuted in downtown Silver Spring last year and grew this spring with the addition of a 100-seat outdoor “Mojito Garden” and cafe. The plan is to perk up customers with Cuban espressos during the day and roll out street foods and live music at night. The evolving arrangement is similar to that of D.C. and Sterling’s Colada Shop." - Tierney Plumb
