Garces began as a Mid-City corner grocery serving a mostly Latin American clientele. Over the years it evolved into one of the best places to eat Cuban food. And, a few years ago, it opened a second and more substantial location in Kenner. You could always get a great Cuban-style sandwich here. They're made with many fillings, and resemble poor boys except that they're pressed on a hot grill after being made. But they also make some impressive Cuban plate specials. These vary from day to day, but are always delicious and inexpensive. At the Kenner location, Garces has gained a following for its paella. Give them some advance notice and they'll serve you as good a version of that Spanish classic as you'll find anywhere in the area. The portion is so enormous that many customers order it to take home for the whole family. The menu wraps up with authentic Cuban drinks and desserts. This place is best when you come very hungry.
