Churrasco, Yuca & Horchata

Last week a few MCG staff members took a trip to Carnegie, PA to see a an art show at The Clay Place. While in town, we stopped at Riva's Restaurant. Riva's is owned and operated by a Mexican/Nicaraguan family (Mr. Riva is from Mexico, Mrs. Riva is from Nicaragua). There's two different menus, one for each country's food, and nearly everything is made from scratch.

I splurged a bit on lunch and ordered churrasco (steak) with yuca (or cassava, a potato-like vegetable) with rice and cabbage. I also ordered one of my favorite drinks, horchata, a cinnamon-flavored rice drink.
