One of Los Angeles’ most popular eateries, Versailles offers generous portions of savory Cuban dishes, like fried fish and roasted garlic chicken with white onions, and nearly everything comes with sweet plantains, white rice and black beans. But regulars know to order the addictive Cuban-style roasted pork; it’s arguably one of the most flavorful dishes in the city, and people talk about it with reverence. On your way out, pick up a bottle of Versailles’ famous garlic-citrus mojo sauce. It’s what makes the roasted pork so special, and it lends a delightfully garlicky and savory flavor to just about anything.
