The Puerto Rican TikToker Alexier (@alexierfl) has made our mouths water with his latest video on the platform, trying several typical Cuban dishes.
Rabo encendido, congrí, fried plantain, and tamal are the delights that this popular influencer tries, known for sharing content like this.
"I have never eaten tail in my life; I used to say that anyone who ate tail was a pig, but we've grown up, baby, we're adults now, so it's time to eat tail," he acknowledges in the video where, if his words are eloquent while savoring each flavor, his facial expressions are even more so.
"The meat is super tender, it literally falls off the bone. The flavor is there, but the texture feels strange; it doesn't feel hard or soft, it's right in between," he comments about the spicy oxtail. He didn't hesitate to give the tamale a 9.5 out of 10.
"That combination of the sweetness of ground corn with the pork meat and the tail meat along with the sauce from the tail simply cannot be beaten," says in the video that has sparked comments and, surely, desires in more than one to be captivated by these Cuban flavors.
"More delicious than Cuban food can only be this Puerto Rican"; "I am from Ecuador and I want to try congrí and Cuban pizza"; "Cuban food is on another level"; "Now I'm hungry"; "This looks like it wasn't served by a Cuban, because we don't eat the broth separately or the tamale in that piece. Thanks for trying our food, go to Miami"; "That's what happened to me when I tried the food from PR"; "Cuban food is my favorite"; "In Costa Rica, rice with beans is called gallo pinto," are just some of the hundreds of comments on the video, which has already accumulated more than 7 thousand likes in 12 hours.
Reactions from this influencer aside and enthusiasm on social media for these delights, the reality is that in Cuba they are absent from the tables of many citizens on the island or obtaining them is a true odyssey.
