I was craving some of that good ole Mariscada which I have grown to love more than the Louisiana Gumbo that I was brought up on. So I took a stroll to Laurel Cuban Restaurant yesterday and found that the Gay Pride Celebration is going to have a Cuban theme and that a number of people are heading over to Laurel’s to Party,Eat and drink some of their special Sangria. They are opening after Sunday’s parade for those of you who are hungry! I can’t say enough about this place, they are one of the few places I know that will sell individual portions of Paella not to mention a wide variety of Cuban specialties all with high quality ingredients. Owner, Reynaldo is there every day to ensure your needs are met. Their portions are meant to fill you up, so you get a good sized volume and great taste… Reynaldo told me that people have been calling for reservations from New York and Miami so he decided to offer a buffet to better serve those who want a variety and want it fast. He specializes in playing good Cuban music and when customers request it, he is known to arrange the tables to let customers dance the night away. He can party as long as you can. Here is our past video of Laurels.
Check out their website for the Special Pride 2008 flyer. If that is not your thing, you can always try out the recently opened Amber India or if more casual is your bailiwick, then stop by Hayes & Kebab on Hayes and Gough…they serve up some healthy kebabs and salads at a reasonable price. If you are celebrating in SF this weekend and are looking for a sure thing, check one of these places out..or check out our blog pages for whatever suits your fancy ! Not to mention that you can either get your Cuban Coffee at Laurels or step to the Blue Bottle Cafe for some infused coffee that is so thick it has an alcoholic sabor. SF-Lunch.com
