La Paila Fonda

Tucked away behind a car wash, this open-air spot features meaty Cuban favorites like orange-marinated pork ribs bursting with island flavors. Another crowd-pleasing classic is the tostones. “The lamb is what makes the whole thing,” Guy explained of the dish. The meat is cooked down with chiles and spices, then stuffed into fried plantains and topped with cheese. “Fantastic,” Guy declared.
