Paladar St.Pauli

So, in Cuba people can turn their homes into little, intimate restaurants called paladars. Under normal circumstances, I would have walked down a narrow street, straight past a back building with a hidden door and NEVER thought to go down a long passage between two houses. But we did. What a complete delight awaited: phenomenal food, impeccable service and total happiness all under a tin roof overgrown with potted plants and vines.
Check the prices for steak (bistec) and lobster (langostino). One Cuban dollar is about $1.15. Best espresso EVER!!! Good thing. I could be up all night waiting for the Internet to connect.
