La Bodeguita De Mima Cuban Restaurant and Rum Bar

"You can’t miss La Bodeguita De Mima. Just drive down East Market Street in NuLu, and you’ll see the bright yellow, two-story building that was designed to evoke 1950s Cuba. The restaurant is run by chefs and cousins Fernando and Yaniel Martinez, who offer traditional Cuban flavors for dinner seven days a week, with occasional weekend and holiday specials. Try the pollo asado: a mojo-marinated, half-roasted chicken, topped with mojo onions and served with gravy, rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. For dessert, order the habano de chocolate, a chocolate cigar made with almond cake, Nutella mousse, and chocolate ganache, served with coffee ice cream." - Lennie Omalza

"Their latest offering, La Bodeguita de Mima, is perhaps the best-known Cuban restaurant in the city, serving as a brightly colored fixture of the touristy NuLu neighborhood."
