Carlito’s serves, it seems, all sorts of burritos, in endless tailor-your-own variety. But considering that it also serves a Frito pie and a tortilla burger — among other things — we can certainly understand the appeal. Ciao Ciao Apizza Angelato finishes a distant second.

We love little neighborhood restaurants, we love mom and pop ethnic restaurants and we love those moms and pops who have the courage to open in a dire economy, so what’s not to love about Varadero? But we especially love their well-prepared Cuban food, including a ropa vieja that’s about the best we’ve ever tasted.
