Lechon, moros y maduros is the name of the dish -- roasted marinated pork, rice and beans cooked in sofrito, and sweet plaintains. "Lechon is our signature pork, roasted in our signature mojo marinade," Negrin says. "Everything is natural, no shortcuts. The pork is roasted for nine hours in the mojo marinade, invented by Ana's dad [father of Negrin's mother-in-law] in 1970, patented and incredibly delicious."

It's Frijoles's hallmark plate, normally served with yuca -- the plantains keep better, that way. "Whenever there is a special event, i.e. graduation, birthday bash, birth of a child etc., this is usually the dish served! So we are not only introducing Cuban cuisine, we are also sharing our Cuban culture," Negrin says.
