New cuban restaurant in Columbia Heights

[hamster]

Noticed this bright little restaurant on Park Road last night, and it turns out they serve up some delicious food! We enjoyed the ropa vieja and fried pork bits, served with scrumptious fried yucca (other choices include fried plantains, but the yucca was really outstanding). Yummy buttery rice and beans accompanied, and the total came to $22. No liquor license yet.

The service was really friendly and accommodating, food came out quickly. I really want to return to try the Cuban sandwich, saw that at another table and it looked great. They also serve a Cuban breakfast, which could be a fun brunch option.

Really a lovely place, that serves simple but very well-prepared food.
Blanking on the name and can't find a website, but it's right on Park Road a few doors down from Pho 14 in the direction of 14th.

Hamster...that is my favorite block for food right now. The Dominican restaurant next door, Los Hermanos, has great stewed ox tail, rice and beans, roast pork etc.

Good tip! If only the ramen popup were still there, the block would be even stronger!
By the way, the crepes at Coffy Cafe around the corner are pretty solid, and it's a nice space to hang out.

No reason posted in the window, but Mi Cuba was not open tonight. All the chairs were up and the lights were off.

Should have taken your tip on Los Hermanos, because we went to Pho 14 and had a pretty rotten meal.
