I mentioned Rositas in Florida City, ever been there? Best Mexican I've had in this state.

Rositas is excellent.

Ok.

Sango (SW 160th and US1) for legit Jamaican food. I can't think of anything else right now since my drat dog woke me up at 430AM.

I'd forgotten the other thing that was good about Florida until seeing this. Pollo Tropical and Dixie Crossroads. Rock shrimp in the shell on a quarter-sheet pan dropped by a dismissive, unhealthy Confederate. Y'all should go.

Pollo Tropical is an average at best chain, if you want real Cuban food you need to find a local family restaurant. We have them up here in the Bay area, there should be a shitload of them down in Miami. If you're eating at Pollo Tropical to get good Cuban food you're doing it wrong.

Sims, do you have any place that makes a good Cuban sandwich near you?

Pollo Tropical is loving bland as poo poo, and is owned by the same company that owns Taco Cabana. Pollo wound up closing all of their TX locations except for 6 in south Texas last year.

Versailles in Miami, get the ropa vieja. Habana at Forest Hill and 1, get croquetas de Jamon and your Cuban sandwich. For bread, Tulipan on Belvedere in West Palm. For yuca fries from a drive thru, then go Pollo.

Good chicken should be moist, but Pollo manages to make it... Wet I think is the best word for it. It’s just gross.

Yeah they do that to the pork too, douse it with lard or something so it's greasy and bland.

I dunno, maybe the Pollo Tropicals are better in Miami, but once you've been to a real Cuban restaurant, Pollo is not even a consideration. It's like any other fast food chain you try to avoid if you can.

Seriously, Pollo Tropical is easily some of the worst fast food I've ever had. Overcooked, dry and bland as poo poo chicken and rice. Like, even drowning it in sauce doesn't make it taste any less dry.
It's awful. The worst part is, there's a handful of people at work who love that place. I don't know how.

Im a huge Gwar fan and Im blown away by this, wish I could sing so I could record it!

In sad Gwar news (these guys have been through so much poo poo too) Mike Derks aka Balsac the Jaws of Death needs a bone marrow transplant.

https://getinvolved.dkms.org/fundraiser/1163832

Its my favorite GWAR song, though admittedly, I'm probably just a casual fan and don't really know a lot of their stuff. First saw the video for it on Beavis and Butthead.

Scumdogs is the best GWAR album, don't like much of their stuff after that, to me that's when they peaked.

Right on the fuckin' knee too.

Honestly, the leadup was making me think there was an unfortunate driveshaft + balls related accident.

Dick used to be a flatrate mechanic, then he took a corner of quarter inch plate to the knee.

I grabbed the shaft with both hands and tried to yank myself up by the tranny and slammed right into it. Could hardly walk afterward

There's a reason they didn't even make it 2 years in Texas. They pulled out of DFW in April, and shuttered all of the remaining stores in Texas last month.

I tried it once..... couldn't even eat half of my meal before I threw it out. I never saw more than a few cars at any of them.

Well they did start in Miami, but they're owned by the same company that owns Taco Cabana. They were supposed to convert some of the closed locations here to TCs, but that never happened AFAIK. Taco Cabana isn't doing so well here either.

So Sims, I got a favour to ask you. When the truck's ready to move itself around the city, can you go park it in front of 7893 Canyon Lake Circle and take a picture? It's in Metro West just off Edgewood Ranch road which is near Old Winter Garden.

It's the closest I'll probably ever get to to this legendary vehicle since I lived there over a decade ago. If the pineapple-shaped fountain is still around, try to get it in the shot please. Bonus points if the HOA descends upon you in a heartbeat, they put my dad through hell while my grandma was dying.
