“Silvia’s is one of the best restaurants in the area. The guacamole is incredible, rich with fragrant lime, onion, cilantro, and fresh tomato. Not everyone puts tomato in their guacamole, but during the summer it’s a perfect fresh addition. I cannot emphasize enough how delicious her guacamole is and I won’t ask if she adds secret ingredients because I don’t need to know. I’m not making it at home. Silvia knows what’s best for me. The torta cubana is our go-to comfort/power food now. It contains every protein under the sun, and plenty of sauce/egg yolk/beans to lubricate your mouth. It’s the ideal sandwich for a hungry, hard-working guy. I can also highly recommend her desserts (this is the first place I’ve ever had chocoflan, a layered combination of moist chocolate cake and rich), as well as all the homemade beverages— they’re bigger than you think! Also her rice is really rich and fragrant. It can seem a little under-salted, but this makes it a perfect compliment to the powerful flavors. The beans, too, rise above standard and make me want to just order beans. Silvia’s hits the perfect balance between indulgence and feeling like I could eat here all the time. It is truly a treat and we try to go at least weekly. Love love love her to bits.”
