Ground Beef Stew: picadillo w/rice and fried sweet plantain (maduros).

It is such a bad idea to over stuff yourself at lunch on a workday. The effects? Food Coma! Tina’s Restaurant, formerly known as Sophie’s, is an awesome lunch spot considering my office location. Great rice and bean platters that are not overpriced and you get huge portions.

I would definitely go back to try the other items on the menu, but you should also go very hungry.

Spicy Grilled Chicken w/rice & beans. (Green sauce = hot sauce)

Roasted pork: pernil w/rice & beans mixed & sweet fried plantains. This is really really good. Even though I was stuffed halfway, I could not find myself to stop eating it. I ate the whole thing!

**WARNING  If you are going during lunch hours, be very prepared in knowing what you want. They get so many orders and people coming in that they want you in and out of there in 3 mins. No questions asked. You can not hold up or mess up their ordering system. I was sooo stressed out just getting lunch from there.
