I LOVE this place!! As a native Floridian from the home of the Cuban sandwich (Tampa) I had been looking high and low for a real, authentic Cuban. When I walked in I immediately felt like I was home. The decor, the music, everything screams Miami and Cuba...Love.
The owner and the other lady working with her were wonderful. Delightful to talk to and very customer service oriented.
Of course I had the Cuban and the owner forewarned me that it might be different than I was used to. Thing is, when I travel, in most places I don't expect to find REAL Cuban bread which if you don't know, makes a Cuban sandwich.
The sandwich was amazing, exactly what I had hoped for. Perfectly marinated pork, just the right amount of topping and cheese and perfectly pressed. She also brought out a chipotle style dip that she made to go with the sandwich that gives it a little extra something. I dipped into it a few different times and it was awesome but for the most part I stuck with the original because that's what makes me feel at home.
One more thing....the owner is by trade a graphic designer and has lots of cool art and jewelry for sale as well.
MUST TRY spot in Cleveland!
