World famous in our house, but not to be found in New Zealand
restaurants.

BTW - just returned from a two week road trip down to Wellington to
drink in the Impressionists' Exhibition at Te Papa (our national
gallery). Almost stepped into a rather flashy central city "Mexican
Restaurant" until I eyeballed their menu in the window.

The restaurant's name should have warned me. But although I like Cuban
food, menu items such as Thai Green Curry, Tofu Vegetable Stir Fry and
Pasta of the Day told me that the restaurant was neither Mexican or
Cuban.

Yet it is very popular and gets good reviews.

Thankfully, Auckland has a fairly decent Cal-Mexican restaurant, but
no carne asada.
