Hola Cuba

 

 

While we had eaten several times in Carrollton at Amici's Italian place we always looked out the front window and looked at this place and thought it might be good. This is the Cuban Dulceria International Bakery in Carrollton.

 



You walk into the front room of what looks just like an old home and the deli case is stocked with a wide variety of bakery meat and cheese and sweet stuff. We ordered at the counter and walked back to our table in the back room of the small place. The walls are decorated with many old photos, newspapers, and artifacts reflecting old Cuba.

As the Spanish speaking wait person brought our dishes it really reminded us of being guests in a Cuban person's home. Below are their signature Cuban sandwiches. In front of me is the Ybor Cuban and across the table Jo-Anne had the Shredded beef version both on fresh Cuban bread.

If you make the menu larger you can see the ingredients of both excellent sandwiches. Actually we could have split just one of them and been quite full. For about $10 each and a couple of hot teas, this was an excellent lunch choice. Even the parchment paper under the meals was a replica of a Cuban newspaper ... fun.

The menu was large with a lot of choices featuring many sweet and meat and cheese things all made from the freshest ingredients and baked right on the premises. They've just applied for an alcohol license and their choices of drinks might be really representative of what you might get in Cuba.

After all that food the blogger and his editorial director enjoy a nice quiet glass of single malt ... ahh.
