One of the least represented cuisines in the metro area, Cuban food goes a long way to fitting in as a very substantial if not elegant way of eating: loads of stews, mashed veggies, rice and beans, and fried meats, all based on seafood, pork, and chicken laced with garlic.

No "government license to travel" is needed to partake of "authentic" ropa vieja or lechón asado at this "relaxed" Cuban joint "hidden away" in Silver Spring; its mojitos "will light up your experience" and, along with "friendly" servers, lend an "upbeat" vibe to the already "colorful" space, making the "pricey"-for-the-genre ticket price "worth it."
