I was thoroughly glad I took the time to look around the charming neighbourhoods of Toronto. \n \nI'm immediately greeted with a mouthwatering aroma, vibrant yet relaxing Cuban music and a friendly face. Coupled with a perfect balance of vintage and modern interior design, it's easy to forget you're not in sunny old Havana.\n\nI bought a few of their \"classic\" pressed Cubanos ($10.99) and some Yuca frites ($4.99). At first glance, I was a tad bit disappointed at the amount of food you get compared to the fairly hefty price tag. As I scarfed down the greasy, meaty sandwich I soon realized that I was getting more bang for my buck than I'd realized. The Cubano itself was a compressed hunk of meats and other sandwich essentials, lightly buttered and piping hot. The Yuca frites with garlic dip were similar to yams and definitely a nice change from the standard potato and ketchup. \n\nYet again, I yearn for Yelp to implement half stars in their rating system. However, I'm willing to give La Cubana 5 stars. After all, it's got the sights, sounds, smells, and definitely the taste. La Cubana has an absolutely charming look, comforting atmosphere that almost transports you to another time and place. Last but not least they have great food (albeit hefty price and slightly lacking portions). \n\nNeedless to say, I'll be back."^^ .
