Fodor's Review:

Since 1976 this has been a gathering place for Cuban poets, pop-music stars, and media personalities. Murals depict a Canary Islands street scene (owner Santiago Garcia's grandfather came from Tenerife). The low-priced menu, which includes breakfast, carries such Canary Islands dishes as baked lamb, ham hocks with boiled potatoes, and tortilla española (Spanish omelet with onions and chorizo), as well as Cuban standards like palomilla steak and fried kingfish. Don't miss the three superb varieties of homemade chips -- potato, malanga (a tropical tuber), and plantain.
