\"Emilias\"We now have a place for Honduran and Nicaraguan cuisine on the west side of Madison with the recent opening of Emilias<\/a>, across from Memorial High School.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the Honduran banner, I tried the chuletas con tajadas ($19.99). You get two really tasty pork chops (your choice of fried or grilled), and they’re accompanied by a ton of pickled onions, fresh salsa, creamy sauce and cheese for even more flavor for this dish.<\/p>\n

Those same toppings were found on the busy-looking platano maduro relleno ($5.99). The fried plantain was so tender that at times I thought I was eating a potato.\u00a0 It was stuffed with a savory mix of ground beef, fresh salsa, creamy sauce and cheese, plus it was topped with crunchy cabbage for some contrast.<\/p>\n

Among the Nicaraguan selections, I recommend the enchilada Nicaraguense ($6.50). The shredded pork was juicy and tender, and the perfectly fried shell was buried under a mound of cabbage, rice, jalapenos and various sauces, which brought some heat and sweetness to the dish.<\/p>\n

\"Emilias\"I also thought highly of the costillas de cerdo en BBQ ($17.99). The pork ribs were well-seasoned and came coated in a wonderful BBQ sauce. I admit not everyone may like them as much as I did, because the ribs did have a lot of fat on them. They came with a side of plantain fries, which were very bland.<\/p>\n

The rest of the menu is comprised of seafood, soups and Mexican items. For the less adventurous eaters, you can order from the Americano section, which includes a bacon cheeseburger ($11.99) and a BLT ($7.50).<\/p>\n

Emilias is open daily for lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
