Cuban Plates — Masitas & Pollo al Horno in Adelphi, MD
Masitas de puerco in Sevilla bitter orange, and half a mojo-criollo roast chicken. We're 6 min · 2.4 mi from Adelphi, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
Adelphi comes over Riggs Road and New Hampshire Avenue, six minutes door to door. It's a neighborhood of long-tenured families and University of Maryland commuters, and El Golfo fills its missing middle: a dressed-up-enough dining room for a birthday that still prices dinner like Adelphi expects.
From Adelphi we're 6 min · 2.4 mi, which makes Cuban plates a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
Cuban Plates — Masitas & Pollo al Horno done properly
Masitas de Puerco are Cuban-style oven-baked pork morsels marinated in Sevilla bitter orange and mojo criollo, served with sweet plantain ($26) — another of the dishes their own story page says customers rave about. Pollo al Horno is half an oven-roasted chicken in the same mojo criollo treatment topped with sweet Spanish onions ($26), and the kids' Moros y Cristianos plate ($10) keeps the Cuban corner honest.
