Ropa Vieja, Cuba’s National Dish, Just Made Its Way Onto Loaded Fries For Brunch

Ropa Vieja, which translates to “old clothes,” is one of the quintessential dishes in Cuban cuisine. The recipe takes shredded steak and converts it into a hearty stew, packed with tomatoes and plenty of veggies.

More on the savory side than spicy, it’s best enjoyed with starchy accompaniments like rice, beans, plantains – or even French fries.

Tastebuds Catering, a Latin American food truck out of Orlando, is opting for the latter of those options in a brunch dish inspired by ropa vieja.

Tastebuds’ take involves loading garlic shoestring fries up with cheddar cheese, a helping of ropa vieja, and a fried egg to tie the whole dish together.

These Loaded Ropa Vieja Fries debuted at Foodbeast’s Brunchfest, presented by Hubert’s Lemonade at Playlist Live in Orlando.
