| We're not just talking orange juice!
People in Miami have always loved fresh-squeezed juices, and there are several places where you can get your favorite tropical fruit juice. We're talking delicious mango, pineapple, mamey, papaya, guanabana, grapefruit, melon, coconut, and guarapo -- just to name a few! The juice stands are also a great place to stop for an informal lunch. Many serve Cuban dishes "deli style," so you can buy what you want to bring home or pull up a chair and eat it right there in the warm tropical sun. When you're in a hurry, you can make a quick run for some of the best arepas, croquetas, sandwiches, and more. And for chicharrones and masitas, these places can't be beat. They always keep an ample supply of these delicious pork treats hot and ready to eat! |

| We Need Your Help | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A special note to our iCuban.com family: Over the years we have always done our best to bring you all of the articles and recipes you find on our site.
Many of you have been generous with your support. We have heard from many of you telling us, "Hey, we love the site. What can we do to help out?" As you know our first Cuban cookbook, "Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban," is coming out this summer. In the publishing business, much of the success of any new book is determined before the book even hits the store. It's all about creating a pre-sales "buzz" and getting stores interested in carrying your book. You can help by visiting your local bookstore and asking them to pre-order our book from Gibbs Smith Publisher. Don't be afraid -- they get these requests every day. Just tell them you are interested in the book and were wondering if they will be carrying it. That's it. With your help, we can give this book a successful launch. To everyone, especially those of you who have already done this, our heartfelt thanks! |

| How can you describe the ultimate pleasure of biting into a warm flaky pastelito, stuffed with sticky sweet guava and cream cheese filling? If you haven't tried these succulent Cuban pastries, you are missing out on one of the great culinary experiences of Miami. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For many, a pastelito or two and a Cuban coffee is considered the breakfast of Cuban champions! Pastelitos typically come in these flavors, and these flavors ALONE: guava (guayaba), guava and cream cheese (guayaba y queso), cream cheese (queso), coconut (coco), ham (jamon) and meat (carne).
If you want the best pastelitos, you have to go to a bakery. Like Cuban bread, you're just not going to get the freshest pastelitos in a supermarket. And if you came all the way to Miami to enjoy Cuban food, why not spend a little more time searching out the best? Did we mention Cuban bread? With a crisp crust on the outside and a lightly textured inside, a warm, fresh-baked loaf of Cuban bread is the next best thing to heaven. The best Cuban bread is made in South Florida. In fact, the "Cuban Bread Line" (the Mason Dixon line of Cuban pastry) stretches across the state just north of Tampa. On any Miami morning, a trip to the bakery is a delight for all of your senses. There are many great bakeries located all over Miami, and to be honest, we've never found a really bad one. However, we do have our favorites... |
