This sandwich is made with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread. Salami is a significant ingredient for Cuban sandwiches and without it, it just isn’t the same kind.
The principal Cuban Sandwich Festival was held in Tampa and involved the construction of the "World's Longest Cuban Sandwich" and a competition for the greatest Cuban sandwich amid resident and statewide cafeterias. The Fiesta has been held yearly since, and the competition has developed to consist of candidates from across Florida, the US, and other countries competing in numerous groupings. Main Ingredients Bread, Cheese, Beef, Pork, pickles & Mustard |

This is a favourite place for the Cuban sandwich for a lot of people. You could easily pass by after you finish visiting the Wynwood walls which are a short walk away.
Many have tried the Cuban sandwich with croquettes inside and many have witnessed just how superbly delicious their sandwiches really are. The service at the bar is excellent even though the restaurant is usually busy. The shop is one of those small mom and pop shops and almost everyone working here is related which makes it a lot better because everyone actually cares about what they serve and how they treat you. This is one of the local’s main spots for breakfast because they're open very early. |
