At La Sirena Gorda
The Midtown Market, housed in the old Sears building on Lake Street, may be the best place in town for a family lunch. There’s a whole collection of fabulous food stands, serving everything from Mexican to Italian to West Indian to Middle Eastern chow–no fussing, no negotiating, just head to the stand that has what you want.
Me, I’m torn between the torta Cubana at Manny’s and the seafood at La Sirena Gorda (“The Fat Mermaid”). Here we see the queue at La Sirena–the seafood molé was more than worth the wait.

I crave that torta Cubana from Manny’s. It’s the best!
Taco Morelos makes a darned good Cubana, too, and has the best salsa I’ve had in the Twin Cities; but nothing beats a Manny’s sandwich wrapped in wax paper that barely keeps everything together.
