YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS — Olgita Peña knew she had found her niche when she started selling authentic Cuban food out of her home kitchen.
She sold primarily on Facebook Marketplace and quickly found that she couldn’t keep up with demand. She was getting so many orders that working from her kitchen was no longer a viable option.
That’s when Peña decided it was time to expand into her first full restaurant venture, The Cuban Table.
Olgita, along with her husband Liorlan Peña, now own and operate the restaurant, which prides itself on being one of the only places in town serving authentic Cuban cuisine.
“Our business is a 100% authentic Cuban restaurant”, Olgita said. “A lot of this is my grandmother and my mother’s recipes, (my husband’s) family recipes, and it’s all been handed down from generation to generation.”
One of their most popular dishes, Pollo a la Plancha, includes a chicken breast that is marinated for 24 hours in their homemade mojo sauce.
“[Mojo] is the heart of everything,” says Olgita. “It’s what we marinate in, it’s what we cook with, we dip the meat in it, everything.”
