An excellent culinary impression [ENG/ESP]
Hello, friends. Today I want to share with you my recent experience in my favorite city, Trinidad de Cuba. During a whole weekend in December every year the cachancharazo is celebrated, a local festivity that is intended to promote art, tradition and Trinidad as a World Heritage City.
For those who don't know, the canchanchara is a typical Cuban drink that originated during the war of independence against Spain, and Trinidad has adopted it as a local tradition. Among its ingredients are rum, honey and lemon. During the cachancharazo, they give away thousands of these drinks, which creates a festive and lively atmosphere throughout the city.
Hola, amigos. Hoy quiero compartirles mi experiencia reciente en mi ciudad preferida, Trinidad de Cuba. Durante todo un fin de semana de diciembre cada año se celebra el cachancharazo, una festividad local que su intención es promover el arte, la tradición y a Trinidad como Ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
Para los que no lo sepan, la canchanchara es una bebida típica de Cuba que se originó durante la guerra de independencia contra España, y Trinidad la ha adoptado como una tradición local. Entre sus ingredientes se encuentra el ron, miel de abeja y limón. Durante el cachancharazo, regalan miles de estas bebidas, lo cual crea un ambiente festivo y animado en toda la ciudad.

During these days, several tents are set up in some of the streets and they offer a variety of services, mostly gastronomic. Together with two friends, we chose a place that promised us a unique culinary experience, and of course, it was the cheapest.
Durante estos días instalan varias carpas en algunas de las calles y estas brindan variedades de servicios en su mayoría gastronómicos. Junto a dos amigos, elegimos un lugar que nos prometía una experiencia culinaria única, y por supuesto, era el más económico.
The menu was more extensive than I would have imagined in any conventional restaurant around here. From different varieties of fish, chicken, pork and beef, to an amazing selection of tacos. I decided on a fish filet grille, while my friends opted for a chicken breast Milanese and a pork steak grille. Everything looked incredibly appetizing, and it was.

Desde diferentes variedades de pescado, pollo, cerdo y res, hasta una sorprendente selección de tacos. Me decidí por un filete de pescado grille, mientras que mis amigos optaron por una pechuga de pollo a la milanesa y un bistec de cerdo grille. Todo lucía increíblemente apetitoso, y así lo fue.

Each dish was accompanied by a mixed salad with tomato, lettuce and cabbage; plantain ladybugs; some pumpkins in sauce that were very delicious and a piece of boiled yucca. For a fresh and exotic touch, each dish came with a slice of carambola and a piece of lemon.
The experience was more than positive, besides the affordability of the prices, it was very well prepared and we felt very comfortable. In a pleasant way, this improvised place left us impressed.
My experience during the cachancharazo in Trinidad de Cuba was magnificent. The mix of tradition, flavor and the warm hospitality of the place made this weekend unforgettable. Without a doubt, I will be back.
Cada plato estaba acompañado de una ensalada mixta con tomate, lechuga y col; mariquitas de plátano; unas calabazas en salsa que estaban muy delicias y un trozo de yuca hervida. Para darle un toque fresco y exótico, cada plato venía con una rodaja de carambola y un trozo de limón.
La experiencia fue más que positiva, además de la accesibilidad de los precios, estaba muy bien elaborado y nos sentimos muy a gusto. De una manera grata, este lugar improvisado nos dejó impresionados.
Mi experiencia durante el cachancharazo en Trinidad de Cuba fue magnífica. La mezcla de tradición, sabor y la cálida hospitalidad del lugar hicieron de este fin de semana inolvidable. Sin duda, volveré.

Todo se ve delicioso 😋
Asi fue, un excelente almuerzo que disfruté mucho.
Looks Delicious!
And it was
Whoa, this are like a festival with those tents up. And those are food looking food, I saw a banana, is that fried or like banana chips.
That's right, they are tents that sell food and beverages. There was one that had the serdo right there, but it was much more expensive and the service took hours.
Glad you have positive review there so you don't need to waste your money.
I am really impress with the menu with old style. They need more effort to write like that 😊
Thank you. I was surprised at how well prepared the food was and the service was top notch. It was great for an improbable thing to do.😁
It's a pity that disposable tableware is used when serving. It would be much more aesthetically pleasing if it were simple, but real))
That's right, but in an outdoor place where there are many people drinking alcoholic beverages it is a problem. A china plate is worth 20% of the average wage here.
