| - I just tried out Cafe Havana - this was my first time having Cuban food, and I had seen the Cuban Sandwich in the movie Chef and wanted to try it out. My Husband and I both got the Cuban sandwich and a pop. The wait time was short, and the sandwiches were on our table within minutes.
I should note here that I am a life-long hater of mustard. I've never liked it, not on anything. The Cuban sandwich comes with roasted pork, ham, mozzarella cheese, pickles and mustard, and I was aware of that, but decided to give it a go anyway.
Oh my lord, I'm glad I did. It was one DELICIOUS sandwich. First off, it's a HUGE sandwich, we definitely didn't need a side. The pickles and mustard were perfectly paired with the bread and the pork. The pork smelled so delicious while it was cooking, my mouth was watering. It was such a large portion, I couldn't even finish it and took the rest home.
One of the owners, a very nice Cuban lady, was the one who delivered our sandwiches. We told her it was our first time trying Cuban food, and she suggested trying the tamale, which came with roasted pork on it. We took her up on it, and my Husband was moaning with delight as he ate the corn tamale - he LOVED it. It was SO good.
For 2 sandwiches, the large tamale and 2 pops, our total came to $36, which is a very reasonable price, especially for Oakville. We will definitely be coming back for more Cubanos from Cafe Havana, and next time, I think we'll try out the Yucca and the Plantains. :)
