So what better way to celebrate the finish of  Hispanic Heritage Month or My Big Fat Cuban Family’s 16 Years in the Blogosphere, than to give away a gorgeous basket of our delicious Cuban Coffee.
Cafe La Llave EXCELS at this cup of Cubanity. So, I’m delighted to report that they are sponsoring today’s giveaway.

    We love Cafe la Llave, that’s the only cafe we drink at least 3 times a day.. The morning cafe con leche, the cafecito after la merienda o almuerzo and lastly el cafecito de por la noche after dinner. 😉 – We make it the old school way, en la cafetera on the stove con espumita. This would make an amazing gift for our parents though. After all, our traditions began with them. <3

@kikiscubanfoodtruck was every thing my Cuban-food-craving-heart could ever desire.
🇨🇺🥳❤️We pretty much ordered everything on the menu: Cubanos, Yuca Frita, maduros, black beans, papas rellenas, and lechón asado; all cooked to perfection and washed down happily with Materva, Iron Beer, and Malta Hatuey. 🍺Kiki herself is a talented red-headed Cuban beauty who runs the truck with boyfriend, Mitchell and represents us so very well. 👩🏻‍🦰Full disclosure: I judge every Cuban restaurant by their black beans. (It’s true.) Theirs were pretty perfect. 🙌🏼So proud of this Cubanita! We will most certainly follow this delicious food truck around the Southland.
Thank you, @kikiscubanfoodtruck for your gracious hospitality. 😘If you’re in Southern California, go find this truck and tell them Marta sent you! 👋🏼Also, the black beans?
