paladar

Paladar is the colloquial Spanish name in Cuba for a home-based restaurant, especially in Havana. Generally these small enterprises are run "off-the-radar", i.e., illegally, however, they are unofficially tolerated - most probably because they offer up some of the best and most authentic Cuban cuisine available on the island.
