What to expect at a Caribbean restaurant
Latin American and Caribbean restaurants bring together dozens of national cuisines: Cuban sandwiches and ropa vieja, Puerto Rican mofongo, Peruvian ceviche and lomo saltado, Colombian and Venezuelan arepas, Salvadoran pupusas, Brazilian churrasco, Jamaican jerk and Haitian griot. Many are family-run and closely tied to the community around them.
What to order
- Pupusas, arepas or empanadas – inexpensive, handheld and a good introduction
- Ceviche – fresh citrus-cured fish, the signature of Peruvian kitchens
- Jerk chicken – smoky and spicy, a Jamaican staple
