Though populating Miami streets in Starbucks-like fashion, authentic Cuban eateries can be more difficult to find due north around the Fort Lauderdale area. Local chain Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine aims to fill that void, with a handful of locations throughout Broward County. With the attentive service of a family-owned establishment, these unassuming, tidy little eateries boast a broad menu of classic Cuban favorites with a hint of Latin-fusion influence, and at extremely reasonable prices. This is the kind of place where you almost can't go wrong: Roasted pork, marinated chicken and saucy beef come with platters of the standard rice, beans and some of the best fried plantains around. Staples such as picadillos (spiced ground meat and veggies) and ropa vieja (traditional shredded pot roast) prove consistently well prepared. Try the garlic chicken for a real kick, while fried mashed potatoes or croquettes make great accompaniments to any meal. Beer and wine available. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
