A paladar is the term for a family owned restaurant in Cuba, and estela is the Spanish word for star. This restaurant shines among Trinidadian restaurants for its criolla cooking. Located above Plaza Mayor, the garden patio is always blooming with exotic flowers and greenery. Roast pork, a staple in Spain and Latin American cooking, is prepared a la cubana. A spiced ropa vieja is served with Latin sides of black beans and fried plantain.
Dishes, which also include a house signature shredded lamb, are big enough to share.
