    Bring Cuban Guys to NJ! We’ve got a great Cuban-American population in Hudson County that could use a good frita! I have fond memories having fritas and batidos de mamey in Miami when visiting my Abuelo & Abuela.

    It was shocking when they closed their Miami Gardens location. This video gave some great insight to their business model. Hearing this owner's attitude, I'm surprised they're still operating. Minimum wage mindset of yesteryears brings minimum results. Hopefully, CG can strive once again.

      I hope so. If you want great Cuban food and aren't far from Los Angeles, La Cubana in Glendale is amazing with good prices. It's not as much cafeteria/street food like this but they have all the staple Cuban entrees (i recommend the Rabo Encendido aka oxtail, Masitas de Cerdo aka pork chunks and fried Yuca). All of it is so authentic and I can vouch for it having grown up my whole life in Miami.
