A few years after being destroyed by a firebomb (yeah, really), EL ORIENTAL DE CUBA is back in full delicious force. The restaurant and its owner, Cuba native Nobel Garcia, are pillars of JP’s Latin community, and El Oriental is a prime destination for fans of Cubano sandwiches, ropa vieja, and café con leche. The aromas of simmering sauces hit you smack in the face the moment you open the door, and food packs an equally caliente punch.
