Ropa Vieja

Ropa Vieja is a Cuban culinary masterpiece, renowned for its deep flavors and tender, slow-cooked beef. This dish features shredded beef that’s simmered for hours in a rich tomato-based sauce with a mix of peppers, onions, and spices, creating a savory, flavorful experience in every bite. The name “Ropa Vieja,” meaning “old clothes,” refers to the shredded texture of the beef, which is perfectly tender and infused with the vibrant flavors of the sauce.

At El Genio Pizzería, we serve our Ropa Vieja with a side of seasoned rice or fried plantains, making it a well-rounded, comforting meal. The combination of the tender beef and aromatic sauce, paired with the starch of rice or plantains, makes for an unforgettable dish that captures the essence of Cuban home-cooked flavors.

Whether enjoyed for lunch or dinner, Ropa Vieja is a satisfying, flavorful dish that brings the warmth and tradition of Cuban cuisine to your plate.
