One of the benefits of having a Cuban wife.

Redcoat Tavern on Woodward in Royal Oak, Michigan also has Cuban sandwiches on the menu. I haven’t tried one there but the rest of their food is good.

When I lived in FL. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and asked for some jalapenos on it. I’m lucky I survived I thought they were going to kill me, from the looks I got you would have thought that I asked for ranch dressing on an order of buffalo wings.

Does anyone in the USA really care if this is the day that Cubans are allowed to eat sandwiches by their Communist masters?

A real Cuban sandwich should be cooked in a device sort of like a waffle iron—I believe it’s called a panini press.

Several years ago, on a visit to Florida, I stopped for lunch and ordered a Cuban sandwich which was made that way. I complimented tha waitress, telling her that having eaten a real Cuban sandwich, I now realize that I’m in Florida.

Love them, especially the pickle - although I had one at a gourmet food truck recently that was so salty it was inedible, unfortunately.

Had a great one on The Tampa Riverwalk, forget the restaurant. Also a great salad, lots of Worcestershire sauce.

I’ll have to get me several of those.

Sandwiches, I mean. Of course.

Krogers Private Selection® Cuban Inspired Ham & Swiss Thin Crust Frozen Pizza is pretty good. Not a sandwich, but manages to evoke one pretty well.

I hope it doesn't taste like a cigar.

I’ve never been lucky enough to find a really good Cuban sandwich outside Florida.

You are fortunate. A good Cuban sandwich is one of my favorites, right up there with a good Reuben (also hard to find in restaurants). At least I can make a tolerable Reuben myself. Cuban sandwiches just never seem to come out right, even allowing for the lack of a panini press.

Can’t get them around here. Maybe in Spokane, but we avoid Spokane.

The Cuban Sandwich was invented by cigar factory workers in the Ybor City section of Tampa, not Cuba.

And what most people think is Mexican food, is actually Tex-Mex.
