You’ve heard of New World cuisine. Well, this is Nuevo Latino cuisine, and it’s phenomenal. Among the one-of-a-kind creations are plantain-coated dolphin with tamarind tartar sauce, pan-seared grouper dusted with crushed cumin and pumpkin seeds, and pork tenderloin with green apple and mango chimichurri and a stack of yuca shoestring fries. A Latin version of surf-and-turf pairs a tender chur-rasco – boneless skirt steak that’s made its way from Argentina and Nicaragua to restaurant tables in Miami – with lobster tail, drizzled with butter and Key lime juice. Vegetarians can try the grilled portobello mushroom filled with vegetable paella. Side dishes include rosemary-garlic mashed potatoes and red beans and rice, also known as congri or moros y cristianos in some Cuban restaurants. Make sure an inventive appetizer or two are part of your meal; choices include Gulf shrimp sautéed with olive oil and coconut milk, a corn tamale mixed with smoked turkey and olives, and Yuca’s signature black bean soup with rice cakes, sour cream and green onions. And you’ve never seen desserts like these: chocolate tres leches (literally, “three milks”), chocolate cake layered with Kahlua mousse, covered with chocolate meringue and served with chocolate sherbet; Key lime napoleon – tart, light and garnished with tropical fruit; and tres cocos muy locos, a coconut half filled with crème brûlée and flecked with fresh shaved coconut.
