Street food Flan — the authentic version

The best Flan I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The sweet from caramelised plantain intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. Mojo marinade was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

paladares are privately owned Cuban restaurants that developed as an alternative to state food service. The a family Sunday lechón setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. mojito was sold right next to it.
