Madrid is just a jackpot when it comes to Latin food, obvious I know but I never thought it was this great. The other day I finally made some time to go have a really (sit down) lunch, not the usual sandwich. I went being happy that I was going to get a real meal, I was blown away by the food. This restaurant in Calle Huertas near Sol (downtown) served heavenly food. I ordered the ropa vieja which means old clothes in spanish and it was just delicious. I learned that that dish is originally from Spain (Canary Islands). I also learned that in Cuba when you order you food they bring it all at once and on the same plate, meaning that the rice, patatas, beans, fried platanos and meat all come on the same plate. When I saw this I thought to myself, mix and enjoy and that is exactly what I did. In fact I enjoyed it so much that I am thinking I want to become a regular at the place, hehehe.
