CAGiversary!
The same here, But I am sure it is because the ingrediants just aren't the same.Til saw the movie part, thought you meant the TV show haha. Feel you on the Cuban though, had some in San Diego and it was amazing but got disappointed looking around here and seeing the only places pretty far away (by places, if I recall, it's like 2 or 3).
Phoenix, at least around where I am, seems lacking in Caribbean food, also Cajun food (sadly). Quite a bit of Asian including some (supposedly) more authentic type places and of course a ton of North Mexican food.
One of my favorite all time dishes is tostones, fried plantains. We get plantains here but they are just not nearly as good.
