"Price Per Croqueta: $3 Lobster croquettes are common, but a Cuban-style lobster croqueta is a rare thing. So what’s the difference? We’d like to picture a lobster wearing a guayabera while holding a Cuban cigar between its little red claw. But the boring reality comes down to the masa’s consistency. El Floridita’s Cuban croqueta has a thick masa that isn’t heavy on the bechamel. You can actually see and taste chunks of sweet lobster meat. And the croquetas are crunchy enough to carry around in the pockets of your very own guayabera if you so choose. " - virginia otazo
