Definitions tagged matila in the street dictionary.

matila

Commonly also called a dog-choker, this is a type of dense, flour-based pastry similar to a macita but larger and more filling. It is usually eaten very early in the morning because it is so heavy that if you eat one after 9 AM, you will not be hungry again until nightfall. (A macita is a smaller, dense flour biscuit common in the Dominican Republic).

It is essential to have a mabi de palo nearby to wash it down, because a matila can send you to the emergency room if it chokes you. (Mabi de palo is a traditional Dominican fermented bark drink).

Macita

A dense, dry cake or heavy biscuit sold on the counters of neighborhood grocery stores. They are notorious for being so dry that they get stuck in your throat, usually requiring a drink to wash them down (a colmado is a corner store, and mabi is a traditional fermented bark-based soda).

Give me two macita and a mabi over there.
