We ordered a trio of tacos: asada (tender grilled steak), carnitas (pork confit) and al pastor (pineapple & achiote marinated pork), served in soft corn tortilla.  So delicious! Our only regret was that we ordered just 3 between the 2 of us.

Brazilian Roots

Cassava Based Cuisine. We ordered an appy pão de queijo aka cassava cheese balls (1).   As my parents are from Fiji, I’ve had tons of cassava – usually just boiled, but sometimes pan fried. This sweet pale lavender root is just delightful, especially when fresh. So to add cheese was something new and defo fabulous.

Cubana BBQ

These guys were not ready at 1 pm when we came by. I probably waited an hour for the food.  They had lots of staff, who were all working hard.  But they didn’t communicate with the crowd. Cubano sandwich was good but maybe had a quarter cup of protein for a huge hoagie-sized bun. We ordered beef for our other dish, and this was the size of a deck of cards. (Others ordered chicken which was an entire leg. It barely fit in the box!) Beef was a bit tough. But both dishes were tasty.

Portions were disappointingly small.  I don’t think this place was worth the wait.  Next time, I will go when there is no line up, and defo order the pollos!

Mi Casa Mexicana

We ordered the tamale (jalapeno & cheese), cochinita pibil and pambazo. We’ve had tamales before but not like these ones. As we sat down, a woman excitedly asked us where we got the “authentic Mexican food”. Simply fantastic food! You must try.
