Dos Arboles’ Cubano Chimichanga

Tastemaker

March 18, 2023

There’s a lot to love at Frankfort’s Dos Arboles, the sister restaurant of Birch & Maple (which is conveniently located next door). The from-scratch kitchen, the authentic Mexican dishes, and the tequila options are all high on our list. But the gold star this week goes to the restaurant’s Cubano Chimichanga ($16), which combines two equally delicious dish inspirations into one unforgettable meal. On the Cubano side, you get Black Forest ham, spicy pickles in lieu of the traditional cucumbers, baby Swiss cheese, and a Dijonaise dipping sauce. The Chimichanga twist adds house carnitas—braised pork shoulder with jalapeños, pickled cabbage, queso fresco, and sweet pepper aioli—and a deep fried flour tortilla to hold it all together. Pair it with a side of chips and queso or guac, and you’ll be in food fusion heaven. Get yours at 735 Main Street in Frankfort. (231) 399-0770, dosarbolesfrankfort.com
