Versailles

Says...

The decor may be French, but the name is pronounced Ver-say-ez, as in, Spanish style. And Versailles's cooking is Cuban all the way. Patrons swoon over deliciously authentic food and the dining room's opulence, complete with candelabras, gilt-framed mirrors and tuxedo-clad waiters. Still, everything's not as upscale as it sounds -- the vibe is relaxed and dishes are happily affordable. Ropa vieja, made with zesty shredded beef, is a fine introduction to the bold cuisine, and arroz con pollo may forever change your opinion of chicken and rice. Keep in mind that the restaurant stays open until very late, until 2 a.m. on weekdays and 3:30 and 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights respectively, making it the Jersey diner of Hialeah. Want to know what's going on politically in the exilio community, or maybe just in your Latino teenager's life? Grab a cafe cubano, a guava pastellito and have a seat, then keep both ears open.
