Back to Miami in 45 mins or less!

We discovered a Cuban restaurant in Buford, Georgia named Havana South. Growing up in Miami I naturally equate all things Cuban with Miami. So when we drove by the non descrip shopping center along Hwy 20 and I looked up at a sign for Havana South -Cuban Cuisine I shouted for my dear husband to pull in for a look see. It was a Monday afternoon and our mouths were just watering, I could hear the Latin music, well no such luck. Closed on Mondays, damn it, but I knew it would not be long before I would be sampling some of the Cuban cuisine.

Saturday was the day..we thought we would go ahead and give it try. As soon as we were seated, I was transported back to my past. Latin music was playing, a young handsome Cuban waiter with just enough of an accent came to greet us. I found out although he was generations younger than I we attended rival high schools. I heard spanish banter in the background and of course the smells of garlic and onions wafing through the air. I felt at home.

The food was better than what I expected, I mean this is Buford, Georgia. I closed my eyes just for a second and I imagined I was back on Calle Ocho.

So if you need a quick trip south, head on over to Havana South, you won't be disappointed.
