One thing I've learned since moving to Florida, is that people are a lot less patient and in a much bigger hurry than folks in Colorado. In fact, I'm not sure If I ever quite fully understood the term "Rat Race" until I relocated to the Orlando area. The madness that is the tourist industry, coupled with the sheer amount of people that live in here, can be a bit overwhelming to someone who's never experienced it and finds themselves suddenly thrust into the thick of it.
You wouldn't think such Simple Pleasures could do this, but it does for me. A lot of it has to do with the people there. The owners and staff are incredibly wonderful people which makes the experience all that more enjoyable. Orlando is such a huge Melting Pot, there are tons of places like this all over the place whether it be Puerto Rican, Colombian, Cuban, polish, etc. And don't even get me started on the little pizzerias ran by folks that have moved down here from New York. Fuhgettaboutit!!
'Cuban Breakfast'
2 Eggs over easy, sweet plantains, croquettas,
Sliced Ham & Swiss Cheese and buttered & pressed Cuban Toast.
Oh yeah.. it's under $5.00!
'Cafe' con Leche'
Made to order with Cuban Espresso, scalded milk,
and for me.. sugar. Always Sugar.
That nice froth you see on top is a result of sugar that's started to caramelize.
Cuban Sandwich
House made roast pork and ham, Swiss Cheese, pickles and Mustard,
tucked in fresh Cuban bread, and pressed on a grill.
I often drop in for the Cuban Sandwiches, served with house made plantain chips. If I'm really hungry (like I was on this particular day) I'll order a 'Papa Rellena'.. a mashed potato ball, stuffed with Picadillo (a seasoned ground beef) and deep fried.
Fresh pastries, Empanadas, Croquettas, and Papa Rellenas made all day long.
If you love Cuban food, this is the place to go in Clermont Florida. The quality, value and taste is absolutely incredible. The ambiance is great as well. Bright colors, Cuban decor and an airy feel instantly get me into a happier mindset and lightens any burden or stress I may bring along with me.
Troy's Cuban Deli.. a place where I can go to de-stress and get recharged, all in the time it takes to drink my freshly made Cafe Con Leche and Cuban breakfast. I absolutely love it, and it's places like this that make me love the area I live so much.
