Rosa Blanca
I recently went
to Jose Garces’ new restaurant, Rosa Blanca which offers Cuban inspired
cuisine. This establishment is open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and
take-out. What I loved most about this restaurant was the décor and the food of
course!
The theme of
Rosa Blanca is that it’s a diner with booths welcoming
you as you enter. But when you head towards the back of the restaurant, it’s
more of a sit down setting. Jose Garces tried to incorporate a place where you
can enjoy some of his favorite Latin dishes in the comfort of a diner or intimate
setting.
I went with my
friend Caitlin because we always love venturing out and trying new places! To
start out, we each got a mojito and split the Guacamole Cubano. Mojitos are a signature drink to Rosa Blanca, so we had to try! They were very good. The Guacamole Cubano was
amazing too. It wasn't your typical guacamole and chips. The guacamole was made
with smoked pineapple and the chips were plantain chips. This was definitely a
nice change up because everything tasted so fresh!
For my entrée, I
got the classic Cubano Sandwich which includes: roast pork, smoked ham, swiss
cheese, pickles and mustard served with the plantain chips. Caitlin got the Pan
Con Bistec which had grilled sirloin, pickled red onions, crispy potatoes and
criollo mayonnaise. We were both happy with our selections!
