The frituras were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of the potato sticks. I think they overpowered the other flavors in the frituras.

I had a hard time finding chorizo at my local grocery store. I ended up using a Mexican chorizo, which I think gave the frituras a bit of a different flavor. They were still good, but not quite as authentic.

These Cuban hamburgers were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try making them again with less oil.

These Cuban hamburgers were a hit with my family! The combination of ground beef, pork, and chorizo gave them so much flavor. I also loved the addition of the potato sticks. They added a nice crunch and texture.
