I went down and picked up 2 sandwiches for me and my buddy in fort lauderdale...i was gonna surprise him...mine was sooo good i ate both and never told him .
I have been to this place a lot. It is without a doubt the best Cuban sandwich I have ever eaten. The croquetta preparada is also incredible. The owners are there all the time too.
After living in Miami for 7 years, and now living in the Pacific Northwest, the intense craving for a true Cubano is constant. There is a food truck 30 miles away that does something like a Cuban, but its not the same. They don't even use Cuban bread. This weekend, I'm going to be making the Cuban bread from scratch to see how if I can. Eventually, I'll be able to make this entire thing at home.
Just got back from Miami, wanted to give it a try and honestly it was one of the best Cuban Sandwiches I had. I pretty much had a Cubano everyday at different notable places and this one was the best!
These are wonderful people, who produce their product with love and passion. It's why they are so successful. God bless them and their loved ones! Continued success!!!
Sometimes you will find a restaurant so secure that they will show you completely the how and why. Their pride in their heritage shines through. They simply wanted to do this accurately. Watching this made me realize on my last trip to Miami that I went to the wrong restaurant. Their sandwich looked correct, but wasn’t good. When you find someone that says don’t put the mustard and pickles together....they demonstrate understanding. Next time I will come here. Price won’t matter. Luckily we do have one place in Dallas with a good Cuban. Small Cuban population I suppose. Damn this pandemic! I need to go right now!
48 year old Miami native here. I can absolutely vouch for the sandwiches at sangwich de miami. Almost everything here is amazing. The only thing I don’t agree with is the pan con bistec, which is way not traditional. It is a good sandwich though but everything else is traditional but elevated. The owners are there all the time and it shows.
True fact: the Cuban Sandwich originated in the cultural district of Ybor City in Tampa, Florida. It follows the basic structure: roasted pulled pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and dill pickles. In some stores or restaurants, they also add Genoa salami to honor the Italian immigrants that also settled in the area. The Bread is important, but it has to be baked a certain way, with the use of a palm leaf to give it the signature crevasse in the top crust. Certain bakeries in Tampa -- chiefly La Segunda and Alessi's -- carry this tradition to give our local Cuban Sandwiches their distinct look. I don't doubt that folks believe they're getting authentic Cubans in Miami, but if you want to get the ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC sandwich, you can find them in Ybor and many other places here in Tampa.
Wrong. It originated in Cuba and became popular in Key West much before traveling north to Ybor City. Ybor city Italians added Salami to the Cubano which Cuba nor even Miami includes in their Cuban sandwich.
@@mayito714 Google it and look up the info and read the reality. You are wrong! The Sandwich they ate in Havana and Key West is called the "Sandwich Mixto"! It's made with a different type of cheese, sliced bread NOT Cuban Bread, with no pickles no pork
I Love Cuban sandwich & Cuban food, in general. It's pure comfort food. The way its marinated and cooked for hours, results in the most delicious flavors you will ever experience.
@@BRan863 "El Segunda" bakery is THE place to get Cuban bread and other baked goods. The best sandwich is to be enjoyed at the Columbia on 7th Ave in Ybor City but other places make sandwiches nearly as good. Not to be missed is the "Devil Crab," a Tampa specialty. Best described as a "croquetta," it is spiced blue crab meat stuffed in a "dough" made of stale Cuban bread and deep fried. Served with hot sauce and COLD "Jai Lai" IPA with some cole slaw on the side it is heaven! Note: Transplants refer to it erroneously as "Deviled Crab" but it is uniquely a Tampa delicacy and it is called "Devil Crab!"
I'm going to be having one of those in less than a month now...I can't wait to compare it to the one I got in Tampa Bay at LA Segunda Bakery. I don't know if there is a bad Cuban sandwich but I think I could eat one every week for the rest of my life!
Tony, if you had a Cuban at La Segunda you had one of the best if not the best. Miami will not really compare as they do not have the same "Cuban bread" as La Segunda and use what looks more like a hoagie roll.
After I watched “Chef” I came up with my own recipe. My ex-wife’s family used to roast a pig in la caja china, so I knew what seasonings to use. We used to marinate the pig for 2 days in homemade mojo sauce. I ended up using a slightly spicy mustard with half sour pickles. I added prosciutto just like in the movie. Holy shit, was it delicious!!!
I grew up in Queens, NY in the 60's & 70's in a multi Latin community especially Cuban Americans. There were many Cuban restaurants there as well as in the areas of Union City, NJ, Manhattan & Long Island so I have eaten hundreds of Cuban sandwiches throughout my life especially now living in Miami since 1979. I have never had a Cuban sandwich like the one made in Sanguich. All the components are made in house using old fashioned time consuming techniques. It is MARVELOUS! Thank GOD that I live nearby. Can't wait for their Coral Gables location to open because they are always packed at their SW 8th street & 21st ave. location.
My husband, our kids and I, drove across the country from California to Miami the little Habana just to try a cuban sandwich. We had to try the real deal. We found cuban restaurants here in California but there was something about the sandwiches in the little Habana that oh man, We can't wait to go back!! 😋
My first cuban sandwich was at Porto’s bakery in Burbank, Ca and I wasn’t impressed. I’ve never been to Miami but I don’t doubt these are leaps ahead of what I got at Porto’s. Even the ones I make at home are better.
When you go to Miami you also have to try a Cuban frita. It’s a Cuban style hamburger with a twist(the meat is chorizo). In my humble opinion as a Cuban man they taste better than a Cuban sandwich. Also don’t forget about Cuban pizza and a medianoche sandwich.
I went to this restaurant when it first opened. I have been thinking about this Cuban sandwich for the last 2 or 3 years. I'm long overdue for another visit.
This is an example of what America does and why America is great. The mixture of cultures is definitely one of our strengths. Assimilation doesn't mean you completely reject your heritage or allow someone to make you ashamed for being from somewhere. Assimilation means pulling together for the common good - not tearing down history and breathing hatred toward people who are not like yourself. Assimilation means JOINING the civilization and not replacing it with some idealized nonsense that has never worked anywhere else in the whole world. It doesn't matter where you're from or how you got here.
@@bcast9978 But Miami made it main stream, outside Ybor City, you will never see a Cuban with Salami, the Bread is 100% better in Tampa, the best places in Miami always brought the bread from Tampa with the signature Palmetto leave.
smacks of arrogance to tell people how to eat, just because its not traditional. Having cubanos in the US is not traditional. let people have what they want FFS if i got that "only on the side" speal I would not go back.
@@theynvme417 Medianoche is by far the best. I like the sweet bread so much better, and then I get the guava and cheese pastry with a guarapo. Medianoche is definitely slept on
When I lived in South Miami Beach in 1974-5 there was a Cuban sandwich stand that used a brick wrapped in aluminum foil for the press. I thought all Cuban sandwiches were made that way. It was still the best I've ever had.
@@deepalmer3960 No Shit!! I lived on Fifth and Washington back in those days. Diagonally across from the Fifth St. Gym. Thanks for the update. I've never had a Cuban sandwich as good as theirs. Have one for me.
Wayne, I too had the Cuban sandwich in Gitmo. (1982-1983) They were incredible as I recall. Haven't had one in 40 years. This Easter weekend I'm going to try my hand at recreating that sandwich. Will be making my own Cuban bread also.
These kind of women is good for business but not good for day to day living situation. They are extremely career driven, and wants all the limelight. Me being a simple guy, can't stand that situation. (That's my opinion others may like them)

This place is super legit!! That make a Cuban nachos dish, with plantains lechón and a cilantro sauce. Bananas 🔥🔥🔥 the croquetas, the batidos, everything here is exceptional 🔥🔥🤤🤤
Hey guy from wisconsin ... Bring me one ... i miss them so much... I grew up in port st lucie fl.. not far from miami... i was always in miami as a kid and young adult .. South beach had great cuban cafe's ...If you have never tried and get a chance to... find a cuban joint like this ... shes right ... its made perfectly as is.... no mayo... served with some black beans and rice and fried plantains...on the side
Really wish there was a good source of Cuban food and coffee here in NS, Canada. This sandwich looks amazingly delicious, really like that they stay true to the original and won't deviate i.e no mayo, only mustard.
I just had it today and holy shit , it was fire 100% recommended to everyone who comes down here to Miami , and the mamey batido was also the best , it’s a most this place you have to try it.
Correction The Cuban sándwich is not of Miami origins. The Cuban Sándwich has been around long before the 1959 cuban revolution brought throngs of exiles to Florida. The Cuban Sándwich comes from Tampa and goes back 100 years as immigrant Cubans came to Tampa to work in its Cigar industry in Ybor City. The Segunda Central Bakery with its 105 year history and a still a staple in Ybor today can boast that historic claim. So all due respects Miami but its a Tampeño Sandwich.
With all respect Tampeña, it's a Cuban sandwich from 🇨🇺 which I ate as a little kid.. the problem is you could NEVER find all ingredients if you know what I mean so it ended up being a sjaponica! bread w imitation cheese and jamonada!
After enjoying a sandwich in Miami, travel to Tampa for an authentic Cuban sandwich on authentic Cuban bread. A "Miami" sandwich is "ok," just nowhere near the perfection of a "Tampa" sandwich which has been perfected over more than a century. Salud!
Man. Those look outstanding. Seriously outstanding. The carne asada sandwiches in my area (SW USA) are outstanding. Couple places have excellent Philly's and occasionally really good roast beef. This all said. Yeah.... A great Cuban sandwich will knock your socks off. I was actually envisioning taking the wife unit out there once the Rona lightens up to check it out.
Awesome, this place is the real deal, although I’m partial to panadería España and Panadería La Ceiba, with Cuban sandwiches to die for! They are both local bakeries that have been around for long time and considered local institutions in San Juan Puerto Rico.
tWithout a doubt, the absolute BEST, I have ever had in my entire life, I didn't find one this good anywhere in Cuba, having eaten them in Havana, Matanzas, Veradero, and a few places in between. It was almost a religious experience... lol If there could be an orgasmic Cuban sandwich, this is the one.
Can u do one on what soups, sausages, BBQ, cured meats, smoked items pickles,preserved food items & dairy products look like around the word. And how potatoes, carrots & corn are cooked around the word.
after making the Pork Roll egg and cheese and the New Jersey Sloppy Joe that i saw from you guys, i REALLY want to make this sandwich now! don't know where i can find Cuban bread.... anyone have any ideas?
Very soon I will go to live in Miami, the city of my dreams and without a doubt the first thing I will try is this Cuban sandwich that is talked about so much, greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
Tony ..... you are going to miss that great Ceviche in Peru !!!! But then they do have some half decent Peruvian restaurants in Miami and serve decent Ceviche. But I still Love Ceviche in Lima and Trujillo !! Its the BEST
Exactly 💯.. That bread does not look like authentic Cuban bread. If you don't use palm leaves down the center, it's just wrong. Big ups to La Segunda bakery.
Im sorry, but ive had Cuban sandwiches from Miami and Tampa. I can honestly say, TAMPA cyban sandwiches reigns supreme in Florida! 👑 The very best in all of Florida. Ive lived in Florida my entire life, been all over the state. Tampa reigns supreme! We have contests yearly, and Tampa comes in #1
And then they voted for trump, the man that wants to kick them out... Makes no sense. Irrespective, when I'm next in the States, I'll be going out of my way for this sandwich 😁
Holy Cuban I miss a this iconic sandwich. I've been eating them since the early 70s. I have tried this place but they do right. The way they prepare the meats an layer it makes a difference. I've moved to Orlando and the don't have anything close to this. I hate it up here...I miss u Mia...305....Go Heat....
@@travellergst1564 actually the Cuban sandwich was made in pre-revolution cuba, almost 100 years old now in 2022, in later years after the Cuban revolution, the “cubano sandwich” was a thing of the past and was re-created in Tampa Florida, 2nd home of the cubano sandwich.

South beach had great cuban cafe's ...If you have never tried and get a chance to... find a cuban joint like this ... shes right ... its made perfectly as is.... no mayo... served with some black beans and rice and fried plantains...on the side
Really wish there was a good source of Cuban food and coffee here in NS, Canada. This sandwich looks amazingly delicious, really like that they stay true to the original and won't deviate i.e no mayo, only mustard.
New York City and New Jersey should have some good Cuban food. Their is a good amount of Cubans up there.
I just had it today and holy shit , it was fire 100% recommended to everyone who comes down here to Miami , and the mamey batido was also the best , it’s a most this place you have to try it.
That lady is my hero!! I wouldn't ruin anything with mayo.
Yep, nothing screams Cuba like Polish pickles and Swiss cheese. French mayo would be beyond the pale.
Mayo/aioli legit makes any sandwich better, if not on an objective level, on a scientific level
Correction The Cuban sándwich is not of Miami origins. The Cuban Sándwich has been around long before the 1959 cuban revolution brought throngs of exiles to Florida. The Cuban Sándwich comes from Tampa and goes back 100 years as immigrant Cubans came to Tampa to work in its Cigar industry in Ybor City. The
Segunda Central Bakery with its 105 year history and a still a staple in Ybor today can boast that historic claim. So all due respects Miami but its a Tampeño Sandwich.
Thank you for setting them straight. BTW I preferred Maurico Faedo's bread and now I hear La Segunda bought them out.
With all respect Tampeña, it's a Cuban sandwich from 🇨🇺 which I ate as a little kid.. the problem is you could NEVER find all ingredients if you know what I mean so it ended up being a sjaponica! bread w imitation cheese and jamonada!
I fell in love with this after watching the movie - Chef
YES!! That movie literally made me want to visit Miami just to try a Cubano.
This cubanos such a work of art.. can't wait to get my hands on them!
"I will not be part of ruining the sandwich". Man, I've wanted to say that to SO MANY customers. It's like 'Get it the way it comes or don't bother.'
I would say the same. Mayo on a Cuban, although tasty bc I’ve had it, is sacrilege!
I wouldnt be surprised some idiot might wanna put catsup in it !!!! =\ Id take it away from him, give him his money back and throw him out !
Thanks for making excellence!!
When you say the dish is with letchon you know its goona be good
After enjoying a sandwich in Miami, travel to Tampa for an authentic Cuban sandwich on authentic Cuban bread. A "Miami" sandwich is "ok," just nowhere near the perfection of a "Tampa" sandwich which has been perfected over more than a century. Salud!
Man. Those look outstanding. Seriously outstanding. The carne asada sandwiches in my area (SW USA) are outstanding. Couple places have excellent Philly's and occasionally really good roast beef. This all said. Yeah.... A great Cuban sandwich will knock your socks off. I was actually envisioning taking the wife unit out there once the Rona lightens up to check it out.
Getting this on Sunday. Yes happy mothers day to me 😁😍
I hope you enjoyed your day.
So beautiful. I would like to fly there now just for a Cuban Sandwich!
Same here!!! Same applies to flying to Maine for a "Lobster Roll" sandwich!!!!
"Que mas carne, ni mas carne - asi viene el sandwich, meng!" 😅
Awesome, this place is the real deal, although I’m partial to panadería España and Panadería La Ceiba, with Cuban sandwiches to die for! They are both local bakeries that have been around for long time and considered local institutions in San Juan Puerto Rico.
Yesssssss España in PR is my fav! I will have to try this place too! Looks great!
There's a 105 year old cuban restaurant in Tampa fl.
tWithout a doubt, the absolute BEST, I have ever had in my entire life, I didn't find one this good anywhere in Cuba, having eaten them in Havana, Matanzas, Veradero, and a few places in between. It was almost a religious experience... lol If there could be an orgasmic Cuban sandwich, this is the one.
...she was savage the way she snatched that cubano from him.🤘
Perfection, I am Irish and my son is engaged to a young lady from Columbia, she can make these delicious!
Can confirm the Cuban from Sanguich de Miami is the best of the best!!
Thanks Alexa!! Appreciate it very much. I’m starving right now.
no its a Tampa thing really
I had water in my mouth! Living in Miami, I would drive miles to have those Cuban Sandwiches.
If that serving was used in the Philippines, I bet the store owners will divide it into 5 more sandwiches 😂
Reason is Philippines is still a developing country
It'll probably cost 150 pesos per sandwich & +10 for extra sauce.
Cause of the movie Chef, it got me on to Cuban Sandwiches and OMG. If you haven’t seen the movie, do yourself a favor, must watch.
great movie...have you seen the chef show? also good!
true Floridians know the most legendary sandwich in South Florida is the tender sub from Publix
True true reading comments reminds me that not everyone is from Florida but comments like these make it easy to spot us
😆 preach
Good to know
Yee Yee 🤪
Broooo hahahahahahahaha I’ve lived in Miami since 2006 and I stand by this comment 😂
Looks Awesome !!!!
Can u do one on what soups, sausages, BBQ, cured meats, smoked items pickles,preserved food items & dairy products look like around the word.
And how potatoes, carrots & corn are cooked around the word.
So where you decide to put mustard or mayo is not really a to kill for where did the condiment come from is why ? Had it both ways both delicious.
after making the Pork Roll egg and cheese and the New Jersey Sloppy Joe that i saw from you guys, i REALLY want to make this sandwich now!
don't know where i can find Cuban bread.... anyone have any ideas?
Yeah this shit looks good
go to cuba
@@aidanwest7433 Cuba is kind of expensive, especially to just a loaf of bread ... i think I'll find a recipe and make some home made Cuban bread
@BroAnarchy Just make it with a French or Italian loaf. Soft. Not a hard crust baguette.
@@BroAnarchy miami.
Looks delicious!!! Can’t wait to try it!!!!
Looked great. I'd like to try that someday.
Very soon I will go to live in Miami, the city of my dreams and without a doubt the first thing I will try is this Cuban sandwich that is talked about so much, greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
Tony ..... you are going to miss that great Ceviche in Peru !!!! But then they do have some half decent Peruvian restaurants in Miami and serve decent Ceviche. But I still Love Ceviche in Lima and Trujillo !! Its the BEST
You mean the Cuban Sandwich is to *Tampa* as what pizza is to New York.
Correct
Exactly 💯.. That bread does not look like authentic Cuban bread. If you don't use palm leaves down the center, it's just wrong. Big ups to La Segunda bakery.
Thank you! Tampa rep
Im sorry, but ive had Cuban sandwiches from Miami and Tampa. I can honestly say, TAMPA cyban sandwiches reigns supreme in Florida! 👑 The very best in all of Florida. Ive lived in Florida my entire life, been all over the state. Tampa reigns supreme! We have contests yearly, and Tampa comes in #1
I'm partial to the Tampa cuban with added genoa salami and a smaller amount of roast pork.
@Miss Von go to Tampa and try one before you judge
This show is the embodiment of America.
Cubans swimmed 90 miles of shark infested water to get here and made us sandwiches, God bless em.
They ate the sharks along the way. Ayyy shark ceviche!
And then they voted for trump, the man that wants to kick them out... Makes no sense.
Irrespective, when I'm next in the States, I'll be going out of my way for this sandwich 😁
@@EVLitterPicker You're a fool if you think Trump wants to kick out Cubans.
@@EVLitterPicker thanks for making this political. Maybe instead you should stay out of the states
@@pbkayakyer he drastically reduced the amount of refugees. If they don’t want refugees we shouldn’t have let them in either
I don’t eat pork, but I just might make an exception with this sandwich. Lawd!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾😍😍
Holy Cuban I miss a this iconic sandwich.
I've been eating them since the early 70s.
I have tried this place but they do right.
The way they prepare the meats an layer it makes a difference.
I've moved to Orlando and the don't have anything close to this. I hate it up here...I miss u Mia...305....Go Heat....
I love Cuban sandwich I’m from Miami born in Miami and I’m proud to say the Cuban sandwich was not born in Cuba it was born in Miami is a Miami icon
actually the original cuban sandwich was born in Tampa
@@travellergst1564 actually the Cuban sandwich was made in pre-revolution cuba, almost 100 years old now in 2022, in later years after the Cuban revolution, the “cubano sandwich” was a thing of the past and was re-created in Tampa Florida, 2nd home of the cubano sandwich.
i’ve been here and the cuban sandwich was the best i’ve ever had
I always wanted to try this cubank sandwich, looks amazing🤩🤩
Living in beautiful Colorado this is one of only a few things I miss along with a real cafe con leche.
