"Blue Sky runs through so much food here, it’s sold by the pound from steam counters. One of the best things inside that steam counter is the vaca frita, which is always hot and tender. It’s perfect to buy in bulk for a party or last-minute family meal, where they’ll weigh a tray of it for you. But they also have a solo dinner option for $12.95 that comes with an entire styrofoam box full of vaca frita and two sides—a great option if you’re looking for a huge meal under $15." - Virginia Otazo
"Food by the pound is such a beautiful concept, and Blue Sky nails it. This restaurant is basically one long steam counter with over 30 delicious choices. It’s a great option if you’ve been tasked with finding food for your cousin’s baby shower. But if you don’t like loud family parties (we understand), the $12.95 dinner gets you a big styrofoam box full of vaca frita strips, rice, thick black beans, and maduros—which you can eat alone even though you’ll never be able to finish it in one sitting. These dinners aren’t charged by the pound, but we weighed it anyway, and it clocked in at 1.75 lbs. In case you were curious. " - Virginia Otazo
"The Meal: Vaca Frita, $13 Blue Sky is a Cuban restaurant that specializes in food by the pound—a concept we love so much. But even if you haven't been tasked with feeding an entire baby shower, you should still come here for the $12.95 vaca frita dinner: a big styrofoam box full of juicy vaca frita strips, rice, thick black beans, and maduros. You’ll never be able to finish it in one sitting. These dinners aren’t charged by the pound, but we weighed it anyway. 1.75 pounds, in case you were curious." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
