New Cuban-ish Restaurant Opens in Rochester, MN
They're calling it 'Cuban-ish Street Food' and say it's 'A not so traditional Cuban hot spot.' If that's your cup of tea, you'll want to check out Yuma Fritas.
Yuma Fritas is owned by the same group that owns Hot Chip, Mr. Pizza North, and Boxcar Hippie. Also, they're located in the former Taco Jed spot on Broadway.

If you're curious what the heck 'Cuban-ish Street Food' means, here's a little sample of what's on their menu:
Fritas: "It's a burger... but better! All fritas come with shoestring fries ON TOP. Served on a soft, toasted egg bun." There are different types of protein that you can choose from for your frita.
Smoked Tuna Ceviche
Crispy Plantains
Batidos: "Cuban milkshakes made with vanilla ice cream and fruit purees."
And that's just a sampling of what's on their menu. So if that food sounds delicious, you'll definitely want to check this place out.
They aren't open on New Year's Day (January 1st), but then they'll be back open for business for you to check them out!
