What a treat!!! Frijoles Colorado brings great Cuban food to the area. Enter this very small spot with a counter displaying some of the great goodies and see the folks cooking right behind. The space may be simple and small but the food is outrageously great and authentic Cuban fare that we all have been longing to have. The family, Ana, Roxeanne, and Sergio do the cooking and bring their recipes from their homeland. Start with the best empanadas anywhere: chicken, pork. Ham and cheese, and the best guava and cream cheese fill the wonderful crust. They make the Cuban bread daily for sandwiches or just to dip in butter and savor. The potato tart is not to miss when available. The red bean or black bean soups (the latter is vegetarian) are another treat bringing excellent flavor with the spices in each. The dishes of Cuba are savory but not spicy as is typical of this cuisine. Do not miss the Cubano sandwich filled with ham, cheese, pork, mustard, and pickles on pressed Cuban bread or choose turkey, pork, steak, chicken, and a burger. Entrees shine with arroz con pollo, seafood paella, a chicken creole, pulled pork with beans, chicken with beans and rice, and an amazing steak dish. The fried plantains, rice, and beans are so delicious and complement the protein. Do not leave without the best flan, tres leche cake, and cheesecake---and Jello if you like. Jello is a tradition in Cuba so it is here too. And the pastries filled with cheese, guava, and coconut, and the coconut macaroons are worth the trip. Portions are huge, prices are very reasonable, and the food is great. The family welcomes you and makes you part of theirs to end a remarkable experience. Frijoles Colorado will become your neighborhood favorite no matter where you live.
