Have you ever played Dominoes? If so what version?

Dominoes is the most popular game in Cuba as all ages can play it. Traditionally it was played by campesinos to pass the time at fiestas called "guateques" especially when there was no electricity in those days.

Today the game covers all parts of Cuba island and even after a major storm, Cubans can be found playing at tables in the middle of flooded streets, water up to their waist. Passing the time waiting for electricity to return.

Today the tradition has continued to Little Havana Miami. at the Maximo Gomez Domino Park for Miami seniors over the age of 55.

The earliest reference to dominoes dates back to China in the 1200s. The modern game appeared in Italy in the 18th century. Cuban style dominoes is different than American or European game of dominoes.

Cuban coffee is one of the favorite drinks we serve. But there are different types of Cuban coffee so we created this helpful chart to help guide you.

ALERT while Café con Leche does mean "coffee with milk" it is actually served in many Latin American countries and in Miami Hispanic neighborhoods as a boiled cup of milk with coffee added. In Spain it could be half milk and half coffee. There's a varied history there. Be sure to ask at a Miami restaurant so you know what you're getting.

To be safe, if you want an American style coffee you want to order a Cafe Americano (black coffee).
