There is a new restaurant in Punta Gorda, Morales Cuban Food.  As the name implies it is Cuban cuisine and it is authentic, delicious and more than reasonably priced.  The decor and the music deliver the island feel and make it great fun.  You don’t have to take my word for it, I went with a friend of mine who is Cuban and she was thrilled with the place.  It is located on Taylor Street between Virginia and Olympia, across from thr Wells Fargo Bank.  Stop in soon for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you won’t be disappointed.
