1623 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19103
In 2009 look out for this hot new trend. Thanks to Philadelphia's own Steven Starr, Restaurateur, Cuban is the new Mexican. Move over El Vez, your brothers in town. Starr along with the company of the renowned pioneer of Nuevo Latino Cuisine, Douglas Rodriguez, Alma de Cuba is serving up variations on traditional dishes like ceviche (a citrus marinated seafood salad complemented with such flavors as cilantro, chilies, mango, and pineapple). This is a refreshing 1st course that will get your taste buds ready for a rumba! As you continue your journey into the Havana night you are likely to enjoy refreshing cocktails such as Mojitos and Caipirinhas, variations on muddled lime and cane syrup with different flavors and liquors infused. These libations will compliment any Entree, might I suggest the Lechon Asado (Pork with seared crispy skin with a traditional garlic-oregano mojo and black bean broth, this dish is accompanied by a salad of yucca and marinated cabbage). Not only mouthwatering, but it also melts in your mouth. If you are dying to get rid of those winter blues, this is the place to go. Like all Starr restaurants, I highly recommend making reservations.
