Chef Wheeler del Torro
Jamaican-born Wheeler del Torro is best known in Boston for Wheeler’s Catering & Frozen Dessert Co., his vegan and liquor-laced ice cream company, though these hearty dinners will fuse Afro-Cuban flavors with each guest chef’s cooking style.
Past Barrio dinners have included slow-cooked yuca with citrus-garlic sauce, a ragout with a trio of mushrooms, sweet peppers, and tomatoes, corn cakes with a guava glaze and grilled pineapple, black and white truffle crostini, and spicy white truffle squash soup.
This sounds amazing! I can’t say that I’ve ever had Afro-Cuban cuisine… all the better reason to try it, right?!

I look forward to tasting the Afro-Cuban blend! I can only imagine that when you bring elements from both together it will be a delightful escapade.
Never had Afro-Cuban cuisine, never been to a pop-up restaurant. Sounds pretty fabulous.
Never had Afro-Cuban cuisine, but love West African cuisines from Mali and Senegal, love Cuban food, and also love Afro-pop Worldwide on the radio so I would be thrilled to try!
