Wine Tasting with Friends
by Eve Bushman

Halibut con CoCo The Halibut con Coco is a popular dish amongst customers at Mojito Caribbean Cuisine. “My mom used to make a coconut dessert, which was one of my favorites growing up,” states owner Rolando Verdecia. “With that as a base, we created the coconut cream sauce that pairs perfectly with a light fish such as Halibut.

by Eve Bushman
