"The Cuban sandwich at Las Olas is a great classic. What we've learned about sandwiches over time is that you can have all the same ingredients, but so much of it has to do with the way it's assembled. That's true of a Cuban sandwich, a hoagie, a grinder."

"The secret to this great sandwich lies in its grilling. This beauty is popped into the traditional la plancha until the ingredients meld and the exterior achieves the desired crunch. Buttery, gooey, crisp, and, of course, diagonally sliced, it compares to nothing else."

Jen Vafidis

"The chefs put the sandwich in open-face first, to get the cheese and the meat warmed and melded together, and then the rest goes in: fresh pork loin, yellow mustard, pickles, and cheese. And the bread is buttered, of course, heavily. Delicious, though not for those who want to keep their beach bodies."

Caitlin Zaino

"The Swiss cheese oozed, the ham was freshly roasted and the pork was rich and moist. The grilled bread was a touch sweet and beautifully crisp."

AM Dreer

"Home to the best Cuban sandwich on the Beach, this place is a daily diner for the local residents of lower South Beach. Check daily specials and home made soups to pair with sandwiches served on crusty just-baked Cuban bread and you’ll dine like a king on a beggar’s budget."

Lydia Martin

"From the first bite of hot, perfectly pressed sandwich, crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside with melted Swiss cheese, mojo-infused pork and salty ham, you learn to take the Sterns seriously."

Glenn Lindgren

"Here the Cubano sandwiches are made with care on a clean and well supervised plancha so that the cheese melts like gooey butter and the crust comes out oh-so crunchy!"

Matt Meltzer

"For a straight-up Cubano there’s no better, easier, or cheaper place than Las Olas, where they coat each piece of Cuban bread with butter before topping it with house-roasted pork loin and Swiss, then put it open-faced in the plancho so everything gets all melty-gooey-delicious, and serve it to you."
