Recently opened in Houston, Texas, the DiTú restaurant has gone viral on social networks, due to how much it reminds Cubans of this type of establishment that was well known in previous years, of which only a few old establishments have survived to this day. .
The owners, Cuban immigrants, have chosen to replicate the popular trade of selling croquettes and fried chicken that existed, above all, in Cuba in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
As a way to bring a part of their tradition to the countries they arrive, the new DiTú is being promoted as a bistro with several spaces, one located outdoors and the other more intimate inside the building.
Beer and other drinks are sold at the venue, which has the added bonus of turning into a nightclub at the crack of dawn.
Let us remember that on the island, DiTú was operated by Empresa Extrahotelera Palmares SA. Its products and flavor remain in the memory of many Cubans who can no longer go to these establishments, especially in the capital, where they were very frequent. .
Bringing Cuban traditions to the United States has become popular among the island's immigrant community. Let's remember that a few months ago it was a Cuban pastry bakery Earthy flavours They showed how they prepare their own Pan Con Lechon dish from Denver, Colorado, USA.
