A Cuban man planned a delightful surprise for his Venezuelan girlfriend by taking her to a restaurant serving authentic Cuban cuisine. It was there that she had the chance to savor tamal and ropa vieja, two iconic dishes from the island.
In a video shared on TikTok by user @yoan.2605, the young man humorously remarked, "Today, I took my girl out of the house to eat. She can't always be cooking, because imagine if the Venezuelan gets tired of the Cuban. Once a year won't hurt," he laughed.
As he recorded, the Cuban proudly showed how much his girlfriend was enjoying the meal: "Look at my Venezuelan girl, here at the restaurant enjoying Cuban tamal. You're eating the best tamal," he boasted, pleased that she was relishing the traditional flavors of his homeland.
The video quickly garnered reactions from users who praised the gesture, celebrating the cultural connection fostered by food, bringing Cuba and Venezuela together through their culinary delights.
