Cuban Plates — Masitas & Pollo al Horno in Chevy Chase, MD
Masitas de puerco in Sevilla bitter orange, and half a mojo-criollo roast chicken. We're 15 min · 5.9 mi from Chevy Chase, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
East-West Highway connects Chevy Chase to Flower Avenue in a straight fifteen-minute shot. It's the reverse commute from white-tablecloth country: Chevy Chase comes east for the thing its own corridor doesn't have — pupusas made to order, a $20 sangria pitcher, and a band on Wednesday with no cover story required.
From Chevy Chase we're 15 min · 5.9 mi, which makes Cuban plates a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
Cuban Plates — Masitas & Pollo al Horno done properly
Masitas de Puerco are Cuban-style oven-baked pork morsels marinated in Sevilla bitter orange and mojo criollo, served with sweet plantain ($26) — another of the dishes their own story page says customers rave about. Pollo al Horno is half an oven-roasted chicken in the same mojo criollo treatment topped with sweet Spanish onions ($26), and the kids' Moros y Cristianos plate ($10) keeps the Cuban corner honest.
