Another
St.
Cloud,
FL
gem.
Super
kind
owners
and
delicious
food
and
desserts!
The
Tres
Leches
cake
is
something
I’ve
been
searching
for
ever
since
I
tried
it
in
California
at
a
little
girl’s
birthday
party
made
by
a
home
cook:
drenched
with
milk
and
rich
yet
light.
Well
here
it
is
again,
finally,
Mi
Casa
has
the
real
deal:
Tres
Leches
cake
that’s
perfect,
not
too
sweet,
drenched
with
milk
but
not
heavy,
topped
with
a
light
whipped
topping
(see
photo)
and
the
owner
told
me
not
to
shake
the
container
or
the
liquid
might
come
out.
My
husband
ate
it
and
said,
“Mmm,
that’s
good!
How
does
it
hold
together?”
I
said,
“Magic.”
Plus
her
mondongo
(tripe
stew)
tastes
like
my
auntie’s.
Another
customer
told
me
people
come
from
miles
around
for
the
owner’s
mondongo.
The
hot
table
here
has
different
items
to
go
that
change
daily.
Plus
there
is
a
menu
for
the
sit
down
restaurant.
The
hot
table
today
had
ribs,
baked
chicken,
chicken
stew
(pollo
guisado),
beef
stew,
arroz
y
gandules
(rice
with
pigeon
peas),
black
beans,
and
many
more
items
than
I
can
remember.
The
regular
menu
had
English
and
Spanish
translations
for
the
dishes
and
was
more
extensive
than
I’d
expected
and
rivals
the
menu
of
Las
Vegas
Cuban
restaurant
in
Ft.
Lauderdale.
The
interior
of
the
restaurant
is
larger
than
expected
as
well,
and
has
a
cheery
color
scheme.
I
really
want
to
go
back
for
the
Cuban
steak
with
onions
and
the
Medianoche
sandwich.
Today
I
had
the
mondongo,
arroz
y
gandules,
berenjena
(similar
to
babaganoush,
but
this
was
eggplant
with
onions,
garlic,
bell
peppers),
coconut
pudding,
guava
pastry
and
the
inimitable
Tres
Leches
cake!
About
the
guava
pastry
it
resembled
the
Colombian
version
I’d
seen
down
south
but
this
was
better
because
the
pastry
was
lighter,
the
cheese
was
softer
and
it
had
turbinado
sugar
sprinkled
on
top.
Come
meet
these
cool
neighbors
and
treat
your
tastebuds
to
the
best
comfort
food!
