About the Platanos.
Platanos maduros, ripe plantains cooked until their sugars caramelize, are everyday food in kitchens from the Caribbean to Central America and familiar to many families across the DMV. Ripe plantains turn soft and sweet, nothing like the starchy green ones used for tostones.
On our menu they sit with the sweets, but they are just as good next to savory food. Try them with the falafel or the shawarma for a sweet-and-salty plate.
No meat in this one
Plantains are plant-based. Ask us how they are cooked if you avoid dairy.
