Mom and Tina's Bakeshop and Restaurant: A Family Affair

On the last leg of hell week in school, my mom stopped by the condo that my older brothers and I share. For dinner, we decided to eat in Mom and Tina's, a bakeshop/restaurant across the street from the university.

There, we ordered a chicken and spinach lasagna to share, then ordered our own separate dishes. The lasagna was really tasty, but a bit small. To be fair, though, it wasn't meant to be shared between three people. A side note: it's of an Americanized Italian dish (which isn't a bad thing). Anyway, being one of their best-sellers, it is a must-try in Mom and Tina's.

My individual order was the lengua con setas (beef tongue and mushrooms). It was a very good dish! The lengua was tender, the mushrooms and the sauce were flavorful, and the mashed potatoes were very smooth and creamy.

For dessert, we ordered a small Toblerone walnut torte and a slice of peanut butter and chocolate fudge cake to share. The torte was a very delightful and light desert. The cake, however, is a real show stopper. The chocolate and the peanut butter are perfectly balanced and the cake itself was moist. The first bite I took made me jump in my seat! The cake is very rich, though, so I couldn't eat a lot of it. Despite that, this cake is definitely something to go back to Mom and Tina's for!

Mom and Tina's has a homey, New England-esque feel to the place. When you're there, it's best to go with your family or the friends that you consider family.

Until always,
