I too grew up in Miami and I've been burned with fake Cuban places BUT this place is the real deal. The pork sandwich is so good and fresh. The Cuban bread is hot and crispy just like the Cuban bread I grew up eating in Miami. The pastelitos (Guava Pasteries) were amazing. The guy that runs the joint is so nice and a real hoot! And he bakes his own Cuban bread which is out of this world! This place is not romanti and has no ambience so I wouldn't bring a first date here but the food is too good to be in NC!
