The Take
Order the churrasco steak with rice and beans at Gordos Bar. The Slop Score is 41.
Real grilled meats and empanadas deliver the goods while fried wings and sandwiches default to seed oils. Mojitos stay classic but sourcing details stay thin. This is Cuban food for people signaling nostalgia who still want to pretend it fits a low-carb life.
The Verdict
Gordos Bar serves solid grilled meats but slips into bar slop on the sides. The identity play here is the guy ordering Cuban classics to feel authentic while dodging the obvious seed oil reality.
Ask for plantains instead of fries and olive oil on the side. Order the churrasco. Slop Score: 41.
