The middle of Cuban-American relations, the “ventantita” or little window, is the heartbeat of this Little Havana landmark that opened in 1971. Go for a Cuban espresso, croquetas, and a hearty dose of excellent ole’ Latin love (and politics). There’s no want to talk Spanish, though it doesn’t harm. Inside, dine on a feast of Cuban favorites just like the medianoche sandwich, ropa vieja, and rooster and yellow rice. The tres leches, or flan, have simply the correct amount of sugar to get by way of the rest of the day, however wash it down with a cortado for the additional caffeine buzz.
