Description
It seems counter-intuitive, but trust us: You’re going to want to eat a sandwich as your entrée at this tiny Cuban joint and then get a second sandwich for dessert. Start with one of the cubanos—the crusty bread grilled to a flaky crunch, the pork and ham complemented by a healthy slathering of mustard—or the ropa vieja sandwich, stuffed with so much succulent beef it’s hard to keep the juices contained. But don’t fill up: If you miss pan con timba—warm bread, mild slices of Swiss and a sweet center of guava—you’re missing the best part.

  The sandwiches are to die for. Try all of them they are delicious,. The flavors come together in the panini press. Great bang for your buck!
