Mojito in Havana

You may remember my Havana Rumba meal from 2018 (click here for post) featuring some delicious traditional Cuban food. Now I'm thrilled share the sister restaurant Mojito in Havana!

Chorizo con Bacon

This St. Matthews space, on the other end of Shelbyville Road from the Middletown location, is quite delightful with bright colors, fun decor (I especially liked the clothesline feature!), and festive music. The menu was also spicier with different items. I had to try the Chorizo con Bacon after the first glance. Read after me and try to overlook it: spicy Spanish mini chorizos stuffed with fresh cheese and dates wrapped in crispy bacon and drizzled with fig sauce. You will love it, too!

Havana Rumba sandwich

For my main dish, I selected the namesake Havana Rumba sandwich with roasted pork, Spanish chorizo, Serrano ham, Provolone cheese, ham, mustard, pickles and aioli on hot, pressed Cuban bread. So good, and the sweet potato fries came with another sauce bowl of the fig sauce for even more tastiness.

There were sooo many more things I want to try. Who wants to try ANY of the three Havana Rumbas with me?
