but what exactly is this?

Fried plantains topped with ground beef, cabbage, tomatoes, sauce and sprinkled with cheese. The menu says that it's topped with fish, but it's ground beef.

Otherwise you can get plantains fried two ways there, either as tostones (sliced, fried, pressed, fried again) or the platanos maduros. I'm not huge on tostones, I prefer the sweet maduros with the Honduran cream they come with. I have a tostones press at home that I never use, I should donate it to ToplessTenors.
