Summary:Entrees are served with an assortment of steamed vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, and come with a choice of side dishes. To add a sweet touch to your meal, order ripe plantains, sauteed in oil, then caramelized with sugar and spices, for a flavor reminiscent of fried bananas. Tostones, deep-fried unripe plantains, make a popular side dish and recall the taste of French fries, but with a meatier texture. Rice and beans, a simple but nourishing blend of white rice, seasoned with oil and salt, and served with pink beans, simmered slowly with garlic and other spices, is another choice, as is a baked potato or mashed potatoes.
