*****UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*******Little CAY Latin-Caribbean Kitchen is a casual full service Latin-Caribbean Restaurant located in Scottsdale Arizona. They have patio seating, traditional seating, booths, and seating at the bar.
You can order appetizers like various empanadas, shrimp in tostones (plantain) cups, plantain latkes, conch fritters and more.
You can get pressed sandwiches such as the famous Cuban sandwich, some of the other pressed sandwiches are the Sloppy Jose (picadillo ground beef), and a jerk chicken and Swiss sandwich. Other sandwiches offered are breadless and use Tostones (plantains) instead of bread.One is called Jibarito of churrasco and red chimichurri. The other two are grilled eggplant and grilled chicken. A few salads are offered but the main dig might be the Chop Bowls or the Classic Dinners.
Many different varieties of Chop Bowls and Classic Dinners are offered. I usually get the Kokomo bowl because it’s a FORKING YUM-Dinger!
It’s made of salad, grilled marinated chicken, yellow rice, black beans, curry mayo, rum soaked cranberries….and this is all great but then it gets even better when you add the Pique hot sauce. (or the. xtra hot pique that was offered to me on my last visit)
My husband usually gets the Dos Cays (Classic Dinner).
The Dos Cays is a plate of Ropa Vieja (slow cooked beef), Lechen pork (slow cooked), yellow rice, pink beans, tostones, ajillimojilo sauce.
Tried the Pink Sands Grilled Maui Maui with added avocado as my server suggested.
The flavors of everything are wild and delicious. The flavors pop even more when you add the pique sauce. This also is a very large portion of food and might be two meals for some people.
Below is the Bistel De Palomilla (grilled marinated skirt steak with sautéed onions, white rice black beans, maudros, ajilimojili sauce, and added on red chimichurri sauce)
Same story as most of the dishes…..Everything taste delicious and gets even better when you add the pique sauce…….The only thing different here is that the steak is slightly over cooked but it taste really good.
A few times we had dessert here.
Once we tried the guava empanada special.
We also tried the Maduros Foster.
Another time we had the Key Lime Tartlet. So far this one was our favorite but we haven’t tried everything yet.
That was a Bigger Taste of Little CAY Latin-Caribbean Kitchen in Scottsdale Arizona.
