Due to this pandemic, a lot of restaurants in the Upper East Side have been closed. Lately I have been craving a Cuban fusion dish and I typically order take out once a week but since I am not able to today I decided to make Cuban arroz frito, aka Cuban fried rice. Growing up, […]
Quarantine this year made Easter a little difficult since everyone has to social distance. So, to make things a little better I made some guava pancakes topped with guava syrup. And let me tell you it made being away from everyone a little easier. These pancakes came out so fluffy and delicious. If you […]
Mariquita encrusted mojo Mahi Mahi, is not your typical Frito Friday recipe but it came out too darn delicious to not share it with you guys! Although this one is not cooked in a deep fryer and cooked in an air fryer instead it comes out just as good. After all, life is all about […]
Chicken Vaca Frita has to be my all-time favorite dish that my suegros make. It is so delicious! It’s limey, crunchy, tasteful… honestly, it just has all the flavors you crave in one dish. Between you and me it is probably the main reason that I stayed with my wife because no one makes it […]
