Cadillac cafe in Portland

Cadillac Cafe on Urbanspoon


Cadillac, now I know why the name, when you go see the big car in the middle of the restaurant, before going to the wine tasting day we need a full belly, we stop there for brunch,  they have a waiting list and busy, but we decide to seat on the bar, and it was a really good choice, the coffee is excellent and the OJ is fresh and real, everything is locally grown so fresh from the star to the finish.

So far was the best brunch I had, delicious, the Apple strudel bread is home made and warm and nice with butter best bread I had, I recommend the place for brunch very affordable and great ambiance.

Hope you go they are located at:
1801 Northeast Broadway, Portland, OR 97232-1429
 (503) 287-4750

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Rincon Sal y Pimienta at Little Havana

Queridos amigos,

En mi reciente viaje a Miami, mi amigo Jeff y yo fuimos a este restaurante llamado el Rincon Sal y Pimienta, esta ubicado 3438 SW 8th Street Miami, FL 33135, el número es 305-441-8801, la comida es buenisima y la atención en increible, el sitio esta escondido, pero vale la pena, la comida la cocinan al momento, asi que tienes que esperar con paciencia, yo  me comi la Jalea Mixta personal, pero realmente pueden comer como 5 personas, los mariscos que usan son excelentes y la calidad del sazon se siente en cada bocado, Jeff comió el Saltado de Pollo, que divinidad y los acompañantes, un arroz como el de mi abuela y los maduros, frescos y acabados de cocinar.


Hablamos con el Chef, muy buena gente y nos explicó la preparación de cada plato y de verdad que se la comio, felicitaciones desde aqui, nunca habia visitado un restaurante Peruano tan excelente.

Si visitan Miami, tienen que hacer una escala en el Rincon Sal y Pimienta, vale la pena, y yo ire en mi proxima visita.


Gracias Chef.
