“Swayed by Miami’s reputation as the largest Cuban city outside Havana, folk come to town looking for la cocina cubana. What they find — if they even find it — often leaves much to be desired.

There are lots of allegedly Cuban restaurants, to be sure, but too much of the food is industrial and bland. And there are few Cubans cooking or waiting tables, replaced by immigrants of more recent vintage from elsewhere in Latin America.

It was this unhappy state of affairs that led Efraín Veiga to open his landmark nuevo cubano restaurant, Yuca, in Coral Gables in the 1980s, with wünderkind chef Douglas Rodríguez at the helm.”*
