POCO LOCO ❤️’S ELENA RUZ! IYKYK… The Elena Ruz is a Cuban sandwich named after a woman who knew exactly what she liked. And we have it as this week’s lunch special for just one more day.

Elena Ruz Valdés-Fauli was a young Havana socialite in the late 1920s and early 1930s. She came from the kind of world where people dressed with panache, went out often and gathered in the city’s cafés after long nights with friends. One of those places was El Carmelo, a well-known café in Havana.

Elena had a favorite order. She asked for turkey, cream cheese and strawberry jam on soft medianochebread, warmed until the bread turned golden. It was sweet, savory, delicate and very unique. She ordered it often enough that El Carmelo eventually added it to the menu and named it after her.

Our version carries that same spirit with smoked lemon pepper turkey, whipped cream cheese, guava strawberry jam and medianoche bread.

It is a small piece of Cuban food history, named for a woman with good taste and a sandwich order worth remembering!

Poco provisions make rainy days better. This week we have pozole and pintos charros looking extra comfy!

Available starting at 7:30AM tomorrow!

WE ARE CELEBRATING ONE EXTRA SPECIAL HUMAN TODAY!!! We love and appreciate you Alex, thank you for making Poco Loco shine so bright! “I’m a pretty firm believer that all people that you encounter and cross paths with play a huge part in creating the chapters that make up each of our own life books. Alex came into my life first as a guest of Poco Loco, and then an employee, a manager, then a friend and now a business partner. Alex is one of the kindest and most thoughtful and amazing folks that I know, and I look forward to seeing what he continues to add to my and Poco’s book of life! It’s his birthday tomorrow, but we celebrate now, today at Poco!! So get on over there, fill that belly, and wish this freakin’ unicorn of a human the happiest of hatchdays!” - Chef Nick about Chef Alex
