La Fonda Latina

This meal is another backbone to my gastronomic existence. Every week, Corey and I drive over to my parents house for a night of take-out from our tried and true favorite, La Fonda Latina. La Fonda is a Cuban Atlanta chain that serves some of the most reliably delicious food I can think of. Their meat and fish is perpetually grilled to a perfect crisp, their guacamole always has a hint of lime and a healthy dose of cilantro and their black beans are consistently slow-cooked and well-spiced. It is a pleasure to eat such satisfying food with some of my favorite people.

Tomorrow, we'll gather around my parents table with La Fonda on our plates to wish my cousin Isabel a happy journey. She's headed to Paris for a semester abroad. I am so excited for her! I know she will have a wonderful time and we will all be happy to see her again this May.
