Paert of the problem has been the lack of authenic, quality ingredients. For example, when I first moved to S. Florida it was impossible to find good chorizo for my favorite breakfast huevos con chorizo because the only local purveyor, a Cuban-owned food products company in Hialeah, made a dismal version that was essentially inedible. Now, with better distribution, local places can get the real thing (such as my favorite, Dona Raquel's in Pompano Beach).
