Ricon Criollo was totally average the time I was there. We had the roast pork and it was dry compared to Versailles and a much smaller portion (not important but true). I am in love with Versailles Sauteed Lamb and also the Picadillo. Even if they are not authentic, they are amazingly good. I am also now addicted to fried yucca. The oil at Versailles could either be fresher or suffers from frying thousands of plantains in the same oil. I still really enjoy the "not a potato" flavor. Havana Mania is also very good. Little Havana was also quite enjoyable, especially the papaya and cream cheese dessert. When I wrote about it last time I don't think anyone tried it, that dessert is SO different that you can't try it and not react in some way. It looks weird and tastes wonderful. The roast pork there was like Ricon Criollo by the way.
