Cuban Plates — Masitas & Pollo al Horno in Four Corners & Woodmoor, MD
Masitas de puerco in Sevilla bitter orange, and half a mojo-criollo roast chicken. We're 3 min · 1 mi from Four Corners & Woodmoor, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
Straight down University Boulevard from the Colesville Road intersection, this is El Golfo's closest neighborhood after its own. Woodmoor's brick colonials and the Blair High School community treat it as the default sit-down dinner — close enough that the drive is shorter than the wait for a table would be downtown.
From Four Corners & Woodmoor we're 3 min · 1 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.
