Thanks
hangpilot—my trip was last month, so I’m sorry to have missed trying your place. I did pretty well eating in Vedado and elsewhere—as you say, nothing outstanding, but prices in the $4-$5 range for filling, clean food.
I also had one very memorable lunch day in Matanzas where I got a roast pork sandwich from a street vendor for 10 pesos (moneda nacional) and then a chocolate ice cream cone from a shop across the street for 5 pesos. So all in all my lunch cost $0.60
