A dish that tells its story — Picadillo reviewed

You can taste history in Picadillo if you know what to look for. Cuban cuisine reflects Spanish, African, and Caribbean indigenous influences. The citrusy from mojo character reflects those layers — black beans doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a roadside food stall setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. mojito alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Picadillo, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
