US Cuban Restaurant Chooses Lactaid
October 20, 2015 | 2 min to read
MIAMI, FL – Starting in October, Sergio's started offering Lactaid® at all of its locations. The first Cuban restaurant franchise in the U.S. is now the only Cuban restaurant and cafe using Lactaid® in the nation.
Research shows 50 percent of Hispanics are sensitive to dairy. Café con leche, cafecitos and other Cuban staples are widely popular in South Florida, and now they can be enjoyed at Sergio’s stress free.
“Sergio’s is always thinking about how we can respond to our customers. That’s why we already offer vegetarian, vegan and paleo-friendly options at our restaurants,” CEO of Sergio’s Restaurants Carlos Gazitua said. “Offering a high quality alternative like Lactaid® is a logical next step in providing more options to our customers.”
And Gazitua isn’t alone with his excitement: Sergio’s social media announcements of their addition of Lactaid® to their menu have received a lot of positive feedback. Sergio’s will continue serving Lactaid® on a trial basis, but it’s popularity is promising.
Lactaid® products are real dairy, but they have a natural enzyme called lactase which allows lactose sensitive people to digest dairy with zero discomfort.
