Cassava root boiled, then deep-fried until golden, served with garlic mojo dipping sauce. The Cuban alternative to french fries on every Cuban diner menu.
Yuca (cassava) has been a Cuban staple for centuries, brought to Cuba by indigenous Taino people and adopted by Spanish colonists. Tampa Cuban kitchens fry yuca after boiling to give a crispy outside and a fluffy interior. La Teresita and Brocato's serve them with mojo (sour orange and garlic) on the side. The crispy mojo-yuca is the side dish that pairs with Cuban sandwiches and palomilla steak across Tampa.
