"Opened in 1997, La Bodeguita del Medio is a Cuban restaurant inspired by a famous establishment of the same name in Havana. The restaurant has a fancy, antique charm to it, along with a cigar lounge and bar. You can’t go wrong with the ropa vieja, a Cuban classic consisting of shreds of braised skirt steak, plantains, tomatoes, and chiles served over spiced yellow rice. The crab cakes served over roasted corn salsa, along with an avocado-cilantro pesto, are a fan favorite." - Octavio Peña
