We
went
to
the
"famous"
fish
fry
and
were
disappointed
to
say
the
least.
We
had
also
eaten
at
a
couple
of
sit
down
restaurants
afterwards
and
weren't
impressed
either,
especially
for
the
prices
being
charged.
Our
food
experience
outlook
was
saved,
on
the
second
to
last
day
of
our
stay
in
TCI,
when
we
found
a
restaurant
right
by
Sapodilla
Beach.
Literally
a
3
minute
drive
or
a
8
minute
walk
from
there.
It
was
a
Cuban
restaurant,
Que
Bola
Little
Havana,
that
had
just
opened
up
4
months
ago.
The
owners
are
a
husband
and
wife
team,
Pedro
and
Milly.
They
are
so
welcoming
and
very
approachable.
In
fact
we
talked
to
them
quite
a
bit
throughout
our
visits.
Now
on
to
the
food.
Let
me
preface
this
by
saying
my
wife
loves
fried
whole
fish
and
ordes
it
whenever
we
visit
an
island,
especially
in
the
Caribbean.
So
she's
somewhat
of
an
expert
on
the
matter.
She
had
ordered
fried
snapper
at
two
other
restaurants
prior
to
this
one
and
they
were
the
worst
she's
ever
had.
No
flavor
whatsoever,
not
even
basic
salt
and
the
skin
was
not
really
fried
as
she
was
accustomed
to
throughout
the
Caribbean.
While
she
was
nervous
to
order
fried
fish
for
a
third
time,
she
did
and
it
did
not
disappoint!
Her
Fried
Whole
Fish
was
delicious,
packed
with
flavor
and
a
had
beautiful
crust;
crunchy
on
the
outside
but
tender
and
juicy
on
the
inside.
I
ordered
Ropa
Vieja
(Shredded
Beef)
and
it
was
tasty
as
well.
Both
dishes
came
with
tostones
(fried
plantains),
rice,
beans
and
salad.
They
didn't
really
have
any
desserts
other
than
rice
pudding
so
we
decided
to
forgo
that,
but
then
Milly
informed
us
that
they
would
have
freshly
made
Tres
Leches
the
next
day.
Given
that
we
had
a
great
experience
the
day
prior
and
with
the
added
enticement
of
one
of
my
favorite
desserts,
we
went
again
the
next
day.
My
wife
ordered
the
fried
whole
fish
again
and
experienced
the
same
on
point
flavor
again.
This
time
around
I
ordered
a
Cuban
Sandwich
and
it
was
delicious.
We
finished
things
off
with
Tres
Leches
for
dessert,
so
good!
One
piece
was
actually
big
enough
for
two
people,
so
we
took
our
second
order
to
go.
I
definitely
recommend
anyone
looking
for
Cuban
food,
food
full
of
flavor
and
a
friendly
environment
to
check
this
place
out.
Especially
after
a
day
at
Sapodilla
Beach.
