"I pass by this small Cuban restaurant on Woodstock Road every time I visit my mother in Roswell, but have never stopped in for a meal. That changed on a recent Saturday afternoon while helping my mother move some furniture. We started off with a basket of plantain chips and tangy garlic lime sauce. I had my eye on a plate of the lechon asado (slow-roasted Boston butt) with black beans and rice for lunch, but knew a big family dinner was planned later that evening. Instead, we split a medianoche and yuca fries. Comprised of tender roast pork, Black Forest ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and zesty yellow mustard, unlike its cousin the Cuban, the medianoche (or midnight sandwich because it’s served after hours at bars in Cuba) comes on a sweeter, softer bread, rather than the traditional crusty roll. Lazaro’s version was generous in its meaty contents and was especially delicious dipped in the house mojo sauce." - Beth McKibben
