Now inhabiting the block south of Spring Mountain Road on Fort Apache since just before Memorial Day 2019 Cubanidad can safely be considered a success story thanks to traditional Food made well plus several new items added by customer demand.
Dubbed “the Ybor Original,” locations in Tampa Bay as well as Miami highly regarded for the Cuisine of Chef Dennis Martinez Miranda, it was by Toast that fourteen items were ordered for take-out thus saving both sides several dollars in fees.
Packing everything in temperature-controlled containers, it was with goods unpacked that staff explored flavors novel yet familiar, Hispanics quick to praise Empanadas packed with shredded Beef and Plantains.
A locally-owned import, Chef Miranda’s Cuban upbringing and professional training in Venezuela yielding products with big flavors, Beans and aromatic Rice outperform expectations while Medianoche features housemade Bread that stands up nicely to Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese and Mustard Sauce.
Not about to skip Dessert, Pastelitos eat light, flaky and better than those at any local Panaderia thanks to Butter-laminated Pastry nearly bursting with Coconut Jam or Guava Jam and Cream Cheese.
