If you\u2019ve never eaten skinless ground beef sausages from Bucharest, known as mititei, or Transylvanian chimney cakes called kurtos, the new International Deli and Caf\u00e9<\/strong> in Linda Vista offers them in abundance. The deli, located in The Presidio<\/strong> plaza, specializes in a host of Hungarian and Romanian sausages made mostly in-house. It also stocks imported Eastern European cold cuts and groceries such as Estonaka kielbasa, Sweet Ann goulash cream and Univer paprika paste.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The owners have a similar shop in Orange County and source their breads and pastries from a Romanian bakery for both locations. Made-to-order sandwiches and assorted fried flat breads are also available. 5201 Linda Vista Road, 619-294-5755<\/em>, intlmeatanddeli.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

A beer and wine license is in the pipeline at the new Maduro\u2019s Cigar Lounge<\/strong> in Old Town. The business was launched by Dennis Bartelmo of Bartelmo Limoncello and Herman Puentes, a cigar retailer. Set back from the street, the space previously served as a satellite facility for Sala de degustaci\u00f3n de Rose<\/strong>, which remains in operation inside the Fiesta de Reyes. Cigar smoking is permitted on Maduro\u2019s large semi-covered patio.<\/p>\n

In the absence of a kitchen, customers can tote in their own food or receive deliveries from The Alamo Mexican Caf\u00e9 <\/strong>o Pizza Bella<\/strong>. The cigar selection extends to about 40 different brands, and Bartelmo said an indoor bar will soon be built in preparation for drink sales. Check their pagina de Facebook<\/a> for updates. 2609 Congress St., 619-543-0619<\/em>.<\/p>\n
