"Wynwood’s only Cuban restaurant has found its niche, catering to hipsters and out-of-towners with inexpensive sandwiches made with buttery Cuban bread that are piled high with pork, croquettes and all sorts of fillings."

"Miami's Ten Best Cuban Restaurants: 5. Puerto Sagua - We know the food might get too greasy, and the crowd tends to become quite unruly (particularly if you visit past midnight). But where else on Collins Avenue can you stop by for a sandwich Cubano while overlooking an, um, astonishingly beautiful, three-dimensional mural of La Habana Vieja by the Scull sisters? Nope. There just isn't another place quite like it."

"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."

"Lots of meat — like four slices of golden bolo ham coated in brown sugar, pineapple juice, and cloves, followed by three slices of Swiss cheese and pork that's been roasted low and slow. It all finds its proper place between slices of crisp, airy, and dense Cuban bread that's brushed with butter and then grilled to perfection."

"While it is not a purist's version of a Cuban sandwich, the one known as a Paseo Press is crisped the traditional way, in a press, and it contains both pork and ham as well as Swiss cheese. Unlike the traditional Cuban, this one also contains sweet banana peppers and caramelized onions. Glory be!"

"Doubtless you've had or heard of the Jimmy's Cuban by now -- it's constantly ranked among The Best Sandwiches in Town by anyone with a mouth, damn right. How to describe? Sweet. Sour. Spicy."

"These are beautiful Cuban sandwiches, the crisp-toasted length of bread enveloping roast pork, salami, ham, melted cheese, a surfeit of pickle slices, mustard, and mayo."

"Bunk's take on the iconic Cuban sandwich uses knock-out pork belly grilled with mustard, Swiss and ham."

"One visit to this Cuban family-owned bakery, and you'll be making excuses week after week to come back for authentic Cuban sandwiches."
