Maduros, Croquetas, Masas de Puerco…
Empanada Stuffed With Picadillo
Crispy, flaky… delicious…. period.
Papa Rellena
Did we mention those maduros?
They are deep dark crispy caramel-y golden perfection.
Masas De Puerco
Fork tender? Hell, yeah.
Vaca Frita
Tender beef and sautéed onions… We have just two words.
Homesickness = Cured
We ordered a small feast. And, Tico’s delivered one to our table.
It’s all good.
Tres Leches
That gorgeous cake was one with the milk. But, it wasn’t soupy or soggy. It was everything that tres leches should always be. It’s dense, but not too dense, sweet (but not too sweet), creamy, and cake-y. It’s just moist, fudge-y golden cake topped with cream. If you had a Cuban grandmother, this is exactly the way she’d make it. Oh how we both wish we had a Cuban grandmother! Oh well. We’ll happily fill that void with Tico’s Cafe the next time we’re wishing we were in Miami.
And, please take special note, Pan Tostado holds a place of honor on the menu. It’s just as it should be. All is right with the world at Tico’s.
Loved it!
