The classic sweets
Guava yemitas ($6.49) come five to an order and are the Cuban sweet by definition: guava and sugar, nothing else. Rice pudding ($6.29) is served cold with cinnamon, the way it is eaten at home. And the peanut bar ($3.99) is the one anyone who grew up in Cuba recognises at a glance — pressed peanuts and sugar, no decoration. Three things that are getting harder to find made properly around Miami.
The cold salad, which is not a dessert
The cold macaroni salad ($8.49, 14 oz) sits in this part of the menu even though it is not a dessert: chicken, pineapple, peach and pear, and it is what people pick up for a birthday or a family gathering. It always goes to go, in its own tub. If you are after something sweet and cold, the rice pudding or the ice-cream bites are the way.
