Food Scene
While in the area, try out the Torta Cubana at Ajua!. It's one of my favorite things to eat any day of the week. Make sure you're hungry because it's a very generous portion. If you don't like pineapple on your torta, then try the Alcapulco burger. Surprisingly, they make the best hamburgers and fries too!
