Azucar!


From the "why didn't anyone think of this before" file... Hubby and I visited a groovy Cuban cafe/bakery down in Ocean Beach called Azucar.  It was so fabulous and so delicious.  Hubby, having worked for years in the Bronx,  has always craved and loved a good Cuban Sandwich.  In San Diego, its not the easiest thing to find.  At Azucar you can get one, plus, plus...  This weekday the place was hopping.  To start, we tried one of their ham croquettes (love the word croquette) - kind of a fried ham ball - yummier than it sounds.  We each had a Cuban sandwich - mine with a salad and he got the plantains... the cubano coffee was the best I have ever had - a sweet espresso.  To take home, I got a Mojito Cookie (basically a lime/mint sugar cookie) and a Guava danish - the guava filling was pink and so pretty.  We also got a pound of the awesome coffee for the house too.  It just goes to show if you build it and its good, they will come... a Cuban Bakery in San Diego, how great is that!
