I went to this Cuban restaurant and look what I got

A very tiny cup of Cuban espresso

Also steak with lime, black beans and rice, salad, and sweet fried plantain. Have you ever had plantains?

Betting you have a terrific choice of Cuban places to go2

Cuban Garlic Chicken is one of Planets best ways to do a Chicken - 40 cloves and all are almost like candy.

Steaks in other cultural cuisines are usually thin and can be wonderful.

Also because the beef is leaner and of cuts such that if served Thick - Near impossible to eat - Thin cuts of Chuck, cooked like the Cubans do can be terrific. Teeth probably will have to be made with steel otherwise.

Shredded beef isn't a steak.

They call it steak. Not a steak though, but steak.

Pounded NOT Shredded

Using a meat mallet, place the steaks between two pieces of wax paper and pound out to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan at low heat. Sauté onions briefly! They should still be slighty crisp. Remove onions.
Sprinkle each steak with Adobo seasoning and black pepper and rub into steaks. Sauté the garlic for one minute in a small amount of olive oil, . Add steaks and sauté to desired doneness in olive oil(or you could grill your steaks). Remove steaks. Deglaze the pan by adding the lime juice and continuing to heat, stirring constantly. Cook long enough to reduce (thicken) somewhat.
Cover each steak with the fried onions. Pour sauce over steaks and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

I cannot say that I have ever had plantains though after studying Costa Rican cuisine I can say that I actually want to try it. I would love to visit Costa Rica someday.

Honestly, though, their cuisine looks more appetizing than that Cuban dish for whatever reason.

Plantine's look like Edible banana when turned yellow - However they never turn yellow and are only worth eating when cooked.
In a Mexican market you can probably find them in Chip form

Cuban food is never Spicy and is very tasty -

Quick lookC at Yelp and you have access to several Cuban places near by.

Cuban food is not as good as Mexican food IMO

You are trying to compare an Apple with an Orange.

Both are wonderful IF and ONLY IF the food from either is prepared with love and care and quality ingredients.
