THE MIGHTY CUBAN
The Cuban sandwich, also known as the cubano, is a popular meal in south Florida where many Cubans have settled since the early 20th century. These tasty, toasted Cuban sandwiches are definitely Tampa and Miami, Florida's favorite snack. These treats can be found in most restaurants in these cities, but the best places to buy them are from the street corner-snack bars, called loncherias…
The number one reason I seek out Cuban restaurants is to get my hands good Cuban sandwiches. I found a respectable Cuban at Cubana Cafe, but not entirely crave worthy. I would definitely recommend it; it’s just that I set the bar high when looking for something so specific. Everyone has a favorite spot to get a slice, hotdog or wings. You would still eat those foods outside the desired venue but it’s still not the same. I need to have this with the Cuban.
The menu lists a multitude of reasonably priced Cuban and Latin American specialties. Entree choices range from braised beef, pounded chicken, garlic shrimp, poblano chile, hanger steak and spiced pulled pork. The extensive menu is worth exploring outside of my narrow-minded views and lack of deviation from the Cuban sandwich. Just make sure you comment on your experience so I do not have to vary from my staple.
Lastly can I say, “oh buddy”. The cocktails are amazing. I recommend their Mojito. They use fresh quality ingredients and always seem to employ great mixologists. If you do not go for the cuisine and cute décor you should stop in for a Mojito, but be prepared to drink more than one.
