Adobos Caribbean Grill
If you are in Salt Lake, you don’t have to fly to Puerto Rico to try authentic Caribbean cuisine. At Adobos Caribbean Grill, you can try the Cuban classic ropa vieja served with the famous Puerto Rican staple mofongo. The ropa vieja is shredded beef steeped in a savory marinade. Mofongo is plantain bananas that are oiled, fried and crushed in a bowl with broth, garlic, onions and bits of meat. There really isn’t anything like it, and is a must try!
