Cubanitas

I got lucky tonight. My Duke Blue Devils went down in flames last night and I thought I was going to have a depressing Friday night watching basketball with my babies not being in the hunt. My outstanding boyfriend said “hey we can watch it streaming on our NCAA App and I will take you out for dinner”. XO!

We decided on Cubanitas. We had not been there for a couple years. It was just as yummy as I recalled. Beef and cheese empanada, black bean soup (positively divine) and roasted pork. Yum. Took the leftover pork home to make a nice little cuban sandwich this weekend. He had Mahi Mahi – I am not a fish kind of gal (except salmon which I love) and he enjoyed it thoroughly.

My only nit – they must be going green. After the first course our waitress neatly placed our silverware on the table. Ick. I asked for fresh utensils and she happily brought us clean ones. I get the green thing, but this may have been a bit much. But no worries, she did not mind at all bringing us a new table setting so all is good.

FYI – they have Cuban Baby Back Ribs on Tuesday’s. This may require a swing by for take out. I asked if they use the mealmobile.com for delivery. (Soon to be a new posting). She said not on a regular basis but you can pay a little extra and mealmobile.com will stop by and pick it up. YAY!!

All in all a good pick if you like casual and Cuban and the fun little vibe that Milwaukee Street brings to downtown.
