Today I had the pleasure of eating at my favorite local cuban place, the Mojito Grill. Talk about good food. I've been eating here for over a year now and every time I go I am incredibly satisfied. Their selection is pretty good, serving mostly sandwiches, wraps, and a few other cuban favorites, all cooked up for you on the spot. Usually when I go to Mojito, I order what's called the cuban bowl (pictured on the left). It comes with rice, black beans, sweet plantains (they seriously taste like candy), grilled onions, and your choice of grilled chicken or steak. I almost always get the chicken to be honest because it's just the tastier option of the two. Especially when you consider they grill it up with a little bit of lime juice...I mean come on. What do you think tastes better with lime? Chicken or steak? Chicken...duh.
However, on this visit to Mojito, I mixed it up and splurged on what is called the pan con bistec empanizado (pictured on the right). Aka the breaded steak sandwich. Can you say victory? It's basically a huge, deep fried steak smashed in between some cuban bread with potato sticks, lettuce and mayo on top. Can you really see yourself passing up a sandwich like that? Probably not. At any rate, every bite of this sandwich is better then the next and you can take a million bites because its HUGE. I would highly recommend this sandwich to anyone who visits the Mojito Grill. Also, notice the Junpina soda in the back. It's the best pineapple soda you will ever have and it's the only soda that is truly worthy of accompanying this food.
What I like most about Mojito is that it is so cheap. Everything on the menu is pretty inexpensive in the first place, but if you're a UM student they discount it even more. Usually I walk out of this place having spent less then six bucks on dinner. It really fills you up to, which is a major plus for hungry college students. Overall guys, Im gonna have to give the Mojito Grill a rating of super delicious for just being awesome and satisfying.
Matt, find some gluten free stuff for when I come and visit you :)
