The Spot
Caribbean Twist serves Cuban and Dominican home cooking from a hot bar, where the format is straightforward: pick a protein, pick two sides, done. Regulars order oxtail (rabo encendido) and ropa vieja alongside yellow rice with sausage and ham, rice and beans, and plantains served either sweet as maduros or crisped as tostones.

The sandwich counter turns out a Tampa-style Cuban — ham, shredded pork, salami, Swiss, mustard, and pickles, pressed — along with ham croquettes and chicken soup. It's a lunch-counter kind of place in Northeast MacFarlane, with a steam table doing most of the work and a menu that leans on the comfort-food staples of the islands rather than reinvention.
