    Those meals looked mouth watering & amazing!!! Arroz with gandules is rice with Pidgeon peas. Peas are like lentils. Delicious! I make Tres Leches and that looked awesome!

    I ate there today! I love it. Very authentic. Just like Miami Cuban food. The pork and onions with black beans, white rice, and sweet plantains is my goto dish now. Will definitely be back soon!

    Place & food looks so amazing! We must put this on our Mt Dora restaurants to try out in the future. By the way, what were the three sauces?

    Thanks for this! Definitely going there. Used to go to a Cuban bar in Kensington, London and that was jumpin’ back then. We trust your Mom and Dad’s verdict on whether the food is good or not, stop stealing it off them 🤣🤣🤣. Are your folks retired?

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  Рік тому +1

      Cool! That sounds da like a good place in London. Haha they enjoy great food like us! It’s fun to bring them a long so we can try more 😂! They are retired so when they come down, they like exploring with us!

    Arroz con gandules is rice with green pigeon peas, it's a puertorican 🇵🇷 traditional Christmas side normally served with roasted pork or with deep fried pork cubes. It tastes similar to the dark Cuban 🇨🇺 moro rice you had with your shredded beef or ropa vieja. The flan is also a great dessert 🍨, but tres leches looks off the charts or "stinking good" as you guys say... My favorite there is the deep fried red snapper with mofongo! Bon appetit!

      @thealtemlife  Рік тому +1

    Why do you guys share only one plate of food … instead of getting each your own plate?

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  Рік тому +1

      Because we don’t want to be extremely full on just one meal. Most of the time we are out and about all day so we try and get a couple restaurants in and don’t want to fill up just off one. Plus it is cheaper to share and when you do, you can get more items like appetizers and desserts. Good question!

    Give the excellent servers names (shout out) , so orhers can request them, they live on their tips.

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  Рік тому

      We don’t always remember the names and sometimes people don’t want to be in a video and sometimes they do. Just depends but we have been lucky with our servers lately!

    Your mother ordered Morro & Cristiano rice which is white rice cooked with black beans. Next time have her order a different side dish not the black bean soup cause she already has it in her dark rice.

    Just out of curiosity is there a reason you like to say stinking good?

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  Рік тому +3

      Good question! It’s something we have said for a while so when we find something very, very good, we express that by saying stinkin’ good. It’s like when you are on a cooking show and the biggest compliment is to get a handshake. Saying stinkin’ good is like getting the handshake 😀

      Sounds good, but what did your bill come to, important to most of us?

    • @thealtemlife
      @thealtemlife  Рік тому +1

      When we have our family in and they pay for the meal, we usually don’t know how much the total bill was. We want to say it was in the $70s but not sure. When we pay, we make sure we show the bill.

    • @lindakurman8642
      @lindakurman8642 Рік тому +1

      Our bill came to about $50 for the both of us but really could have shared it

    If the bread is soft - it is not real Cuban bread which is crunchy on the outside and soft/chewy on teh inside. I hate peoples who try to pass off a hoagie roll for Cuban bread - NOT THE SAME!

    You need to do more reviews away from Mount Dora and the villages

      We do reviews wherever we are at that day. Look back at some of our older videos as well. We have some in all sorts of places 😀
