How are they? I wanted to try one — but found out the hard way that they didn’t take cash, at least when I went there.

Here’s a review posted about their Cuban sandwich…
“Whenever I come to Cuba De Ayer to eat lunch or dinner I always order “ 2 “ Cuban Sandwiches to take home with me … they are the best !!! There are only two places that I’ll get my Cuban Sandwiches from and that here and Versailles Cuban Restaurant in Miami … just heat them up in the oven the next day slowly and trust me, you’ll be in heaven … Cuba de Ayer makes a delicious Cuban Sandwich …. Sometimes I’ve even eaten 1/2 of the sandwich on the way home because it smells so good that I just can’t resist it… that’s how good they make this sandwich !!!!!”

What makes a Cuban sandwich good or better than another? What’s the secret?


Real Cuban bread has a flavor to it that adds to the overall deliciousness.
The flavor and seasoning of the roast pork makes a huge difference.
It’s just my personal preference, but I usually swap out the cheese for provolone, so my idea of an awesome Cuban sandwich might not really be a Cuban sandwich. It’s awesome though.

I think the biggest variables are the pork and the bread (now some cheese expert will explain why I'm wrong, which will be totally fair)

I generally don't hold with innovation, but Smokecraft in Arlington makes a "'Cue-bano" that is delicious

Not a restaurant, but I got an excellent Cuban sandwich at Canales Deli in Eastern Market.

My DS is turning 8 next week and he has his heart set on a Cuban sandwich for dinner. Any ideas for a restaurant in the area that has a fun vibe and does a good version of this? For context, he had his first (and only) Cuban Sandwich at the Margaritaville restaurant in the San Juan, PR airport and has not stopped taking about it since
