A little over 1:00 pm, the mister was feeling better. I asked him if he wanted to eat somewhere before we picked the kids up.
The mister suggested to have lunch at That Cuban Place which reopened around the first week of April of this year. Check their previous space in downtown here and here. The building of their previous location was condemned last year in March so they had to close down. They reopened months after that on a food truck but Frederick does not welcome this kind of business. This community is just happy they are back in a better location with more seating and parking.
It was passed lunch time already, so it looked like we had the whole place all to ourselves.
The place was clean and was bursting with colors from their walls to the artworks on their walls and to the fresh carnations on every table.
I had the special for the day which wasn't in the menu. The pork tasted like "Humba" only it had beans in it. The rice was "almost" delicious. I thought the pork and rice needed a little bit of seasoning.
By the way, Humba (braised pork belly) is a Filipino dish from the Visayan region in the Philippines.
Despite the lack of a little bit of seasoning, I still loved my plate especially with the addition of fried plantains on it.
The mister had something from their breakfast (desayuno) menu -- #4 S&E (Steak and eggs).
Two eggs and a beef steak, sauteed with onions and served with home fries. It came with bread and a cup of coffee.
I had a couple sips of their coffee and it was to die for.
Narciso, one of the owners who served us that day, was chatty and friendly. Because of that, the place felt like home. He asked us before we left if we're going to come back. Of course, we will and with the kids too. I just hope they'll served Cuban oxtail stew the next time.

Paborito jud nak ang Humba ug piniritong saging. Ganahan bitaw pod ko ug Cuban style coffee.
Kailan kaya ulit ako makakaita ng rainbow? Mukhang masarap nga yang humba. Kain palang ulam na :)
grabe nakakatakam yung food ni mister...and the ambiance looks good :)
I wonder how the Humba got into their menu :)
Lovely meal, cozy place. It's like a date with the mister! :)
I agree.. Mister's food looks yummy! I wish my hubby also likes to explore different restos, we usually eat at the same places we've already tried/liked. I'm the only one who loves trying something different/new. :)
I agree.
Hindi talaga laging nagpapakita ang rainbow. No?
May special sila araw-araw. Minsan they suggest kung ano ang niluluto ng asawa niya kahit wala sa menu.
I tried lang kasi Cuban food nga daw, tasted like Humba lang pala. hehehehe
Masarap nga yong breakfast dish niya.
You should try new restos but read din reviews para to make sure okay and service at masarap ang food.
Lami jud ilang kape.
Like ko ang pork humba! Parang ang sarap nun steak ni mister, nag-caramelize na yun onions, yummy!
