So I went to a masquerade ball last night (it was more of a swing dancing event but nonetheless making it sound fancy). It was a lot more fun than originally thought. One complaint though, the oeuvres were meh at best. But I forgot to eat dinner so I spent a good 30 minutes around the food table causally grabbing numerous handfuls of pretzels and crackers. I might have cleared half a plate of these chocolate cream sweets that weren't half bad. Definitely got my money's worth of food there. Overall 8/10, will go back for more foo....I mean dancing and socialization.
Onto the Cheesecake review.
The place I visited is in Cocoa Beach, FL about a 5 minute walk from the beach. Which is pretty nice if you had too many margaritas and felt compelled to attempt to play the story of the hard-working yet slightly discriminated Mexican whose looking to go back to his/her roots at a Mexican hole-in-the-wall. But you realize once you see the menu you find mostly Cuban cuisine (remember playing the hard-working Mexican still drunk) and slightly get pissed at the Cubans for taking your jobs, but eat there anyways. Here is their website if you wanna look at what else they offer. Got some quality Cuban sandwiches. Recommended to me by a former NASA engineering director turned professor at the school I am attending, and have to say he has good taste.
After having their Cuban supreme, I went for their Cheesecake. Gotta provide the environment I was in before taking that first bite. You see they did a really good job with that Cuban supreme and here is why. First and foremost I am soooooo fat. I eat so much food when I got out to eat. Like 'friends send me links to huge amounts of food and other food challenges basically asking me if I could eat that' type of fat. I love food in general. So when I ordered the Cuban Supreme (sandwich and fries) after eating some appetizers I was expecting a typical rye bread toasted sandwich with the typical Cuban meats and works, which would be quickly consumed and I would still feel empty inside. Nah dog. That sandwich was the length of a subway sandwich and its width was getting close to 50% bigger in size. Dam Son. I was perfect stomach wise for the Cheesecake, not too hungry and not too full.
The people I was with were a couple who came from out of town. Given that they will probably read this, I'll keep this short and sweet. This girl noticed a water splotch on the table, giggled, told us it looked like a penis, took a snap of the water splotch and send it to all of her friends...including us...who were sitting with her. The boy in the relationship halfway ignored her and seemed like this was typical. Work with that and your imagination and you will get an idea of the company I had.
Now to the Cheesecake. It was a mango and agave Cheesecake with chocolate drizzle on top. My preference for Cheesecake is very conservative and traditional for a simple reason. Adding other flavors to the original style might make the experience of eating the Cheesecake better; however the quality and craftsmanship of the Cheesecake itself cannot be properly judged given those added factors. This added factors (whether those factors include caramel drizzle or rainbow sprinkles) could mask the crappy job in creating the Cheesecake, or it could mask quality work of the Cheesecake because those added factors succeeded/failed to integrate with the Cheesecake properly. I'm here to judge a Cheesecake, not a dessert that states its a Cheesecake because its main ingredient is Cheesecake. With that being said, Roberto's gave me a dessert. One demerit for Roberto's.
From there though I was unbelievable. So I've had a mango cheesecake before (probably will blog it later when I go back) and it was frozen heated up in the microwave blah. But this was pretty solid. Not too strong on the mango but just enough to taste the sweet essence. Cheesecake was a perfect blend of stiff and fluffy, much how I like the feel of boobs. Crust also wasn't too strong and keep its composition. How much I find chocolate to be meh especially if it overpowers the Cheesecake. Gah chocolate you are like the Kardashians, the only people that seem to love you are those who follow you on insta and they either do not realize or brush under the table how you became famous in the first place. This time it complimented the Cheesecake better than I thought it would. The Cheesecake was gone in two minutes and I didn't share. It was also aesthetically pleasing as you can see in my lovely picture taken by my IPhone 6s camera with 12-megapixel sensor. Definitely one of the latest and greatest from Apple.
Overall Rating: 8.5/10
