I Reckon There's Cubans in Atlanta, Too
I just read this over at Yucabay, and it reminded me of an email I got last week that I meant to forward and post:
No se a quien me dirijo con este email, pero acabo de encontrar esta pagina y me decidi a escribir. Veran, he vivido en Miami desde que llegue de Cuba en el 99. Hace año y pico que vivo en Atlanta ya que decidi venir a Georgia Tech. Por cierto estoy aun haciendo tareas a estas horas de la noche y pensaba ... concho, me hace falta tener mas amistades cubanas :) Asi que decidi hacer una busqueda en google y encontre esta pagina. Escribo con todas las esperanzas de que existan mas cubanos aqui y que pueda llegar a conocerlos. Por favor si alguien lee este correo , responda al mio.
Translation:
I do not whom Im addressing with this email, but I have just found this webpage and decided to write. You see, I've lived in miami since I came from Cuba in 99. I decided to go to Georgia tech and Ive been living in Atlanta for over a year. I was doing homework at this late hour and was thinking...darn, I need to find some Cuban friends. :). So i decided to do a Google search and found this page. I write with all hope that there are more Cubans here and that I may get to meet them. please, if you read this email, respond to mine.
Ive withheld publishing her email as I dont want her getting spammed, but I know there's a few Babalu readers in the beautiful State of Georgia. Please email me for her contact info.

Val,
There are many Cubans in Atlanta, indeed ... there's actually The Cuban Club of Atlanta located in Doraville, Georgia ... there are also a few Cuban restaurants ... The Havana Sandwich Shop on Buford Highway has the best Cuban Sandwich ... Georgia Tech is across the street from The Coca-Cola Company ... which had a Cuban as one, if not its best CEO, Roberto Goizueta ... may he rest in peace! I wish her well! :) Melek

Send her to Las Palmeras, 368 5th Street NE. She'll be right at home.

There are ALOT of Cubans in California. I went to a Cuban restaurant for a fund raiser for political prisoners and it was packed.
One of the actors in The Lost City was there as the host.

Hi there!
I am back in Atlanta after a three year jaunt in Italy. My family find that the Cuban food here pretty much sucks. Some places come close but never strike gold. Of course I grew up in the Bay Area of California where there was hardly any Cuban restaurants (or Cubans for that matter) so I guess I should be thankful for whatever I can get without having to cook it myself.
How does one go about joining the Cuban Club of Atlanta?
I can't wait to get to Hialeah in 2 weeks where I am going to head straight for Mesa's BBQ. That place rocks! There are so many great things one can do with a pig. Mmmmmm ... chicharones .... mmmmm ....
Are Cubans the only ones who consider fried pork fat to be a legitimate main course?

There are certainly Cubans in Atlanta, and everyday i'm finding more and more. What pleasure! :-)
I would love to get in touch with our friend from Georgia Tech if you can pass along her email. Also, to anyone interested, I have formed a group at meetup.com for "Miami Cubans in Atlanta", I encourage all to sign-up so we can build our own family here :-)
Vamos, que se estan acercando las "cris-mah" y yo quiero lechon, hehe.
