I thought of Versailles Cuban restaurant (on Venice) while posting in another thread. Friend **silenus** replied. So now I’ve got cuban food on my mind. Does anyone, who has eaten at Versailles, have a recipe so that I can duplicate their roast pork? ---

I don’t have a recipe, but you can [buy their mojo sauce](http://www.versaillescuban.com/Product/Store.aspx?cat=4&a=23#23)…which I believe the pork is doused in. Soooo good and garlicky … ---

No, but I’ve eaten at the Versailles, and that stuff is yummy. If you find the recipe, SHARE it 🙂 ---

Mmm…Cuban food… I may just make a run down to Porto’s for lunch. Love their torta de pollo…and of course the tarts. And refugiados. And cheese rolls. And … well … everything else. ---

If you find the recipe, SHARE it 🙂 I despatched an email to their info address, and it bounced. I tried ringing their Corporate number, and there was no answer. The recipe couldn’t possibly be as simple as ‘marinate the pork in the sauce, then slow-roast it’ – can it? ---

In any case, I just ordered a twin-pack of the sauce. We’ll see… ---

So aside from buying the bottled sauce, anyone have any suggestions? ---

Can you call one of the locations and just ask? ---

The store I went to was always incredibly busy. I don’t think they’d appreciate a call. I did ring the corporate office, but there was no answer and an email I sent bounced back.
