I think it's called that because the meat is shredded like old clothes (rags).
By the way, it was AWESOME!! Eddie ate seconds, so I knew it was good. I'm having leftovers tomorrow. The plantains were sweet, which I was a little worried about - I have a hard time knowing when they're fully ripe. Eddie grew up on these in Liberia, so he loves them fried in a little olive oil and butter.
We ate at a famous Cuban restaurant in Tampa (actually Ybor City) last week. It was called the Columbia and it was amazing. We had some beef dish there that was made from eye of round with a stuffing of some kind of Cuba sausage. I also ate tostones, but Eddie doesn't like those. We had black beans, rice & boiled yuca. Then for dessert - churros with chocolate, caramel and guava sauces. I think I gained like five pounds at that one meal!!
