$35 - Al Fresco Cuban Dining for 2 w/Mojitos, Reg. $99

The Deal

For $35, experience authentic Cuban food and drink at Mojito Restaurant and Lounge in Midtown. Executive Chef Lucy Alvarez, who has a regular cooking segment on CNN en Español, combines traditional Cuban cooking with more modern interpretations. This dinner for two, which includes a shared appetizer, two entrees, two desserts and two mojitos, would regularly cost up to $99.

Start your meal with an appetizer that's big enough to share, such as homemade crabcakes with habanero mojo or chorizo with manchego cheese and toast. Entree selections include a 16 oz. prime rib with Cuban seasoning and a baked potato; salmon wrapped in a banana leaf with saffron rice and plantains; and New York strip with a Spanish olive jam. For dessert, try one of the chef's signature flans, bread pudding or chocolate cake.

This dinner for two, which can be enjoyed inside or on the restaurant's secluded patio, also comes with a minty handmade mojito each.
