I decided that over the next few days I want to try several of the nearby Cuban-inspired restaurants that are so highly regarded. Today for lunch I traveled to Mi Tierra, which is conveniently located near Ed Smith Stadium.
Mi Tierra bills itself as featuring Cuban and Columbian cuisine. It's a very small restaurant, probably seating no more than 30 people at full capacity.
The menu, written in Spanish and English (in that order) offers a variety of full meals generally priced less than $12. They have weekday lunch specials, but none on Saturday.
I ordered a traditional Cuban dish, Carne al Carbón, which is Charbroiled steak, with rice, plaintains, black beans and salad.
The citrus-marinated steak was very tender and flavorful. The black beans, which I mixed with the white rice, were fantastic - I wish I knew why authentic black beans taste so special.
This is an excellent place to go before the Reds home afternoon games, I'm sure I'll be back. Tomorrow my plan is to try one of two highly recommended Bradenton-area Cuban restaurants when I head up for the Reds-Pirates game at 1:00.
