What a gem!!! Love the friendly banter of the staff, the outdoor seating and the food is awesome and priced just right. The Cuban sandwich is great and my favorite. Can’t get enough of the quesitos — just wish they would add some guava to them

This place has good service. The food was good and the price is just right. Check them out if you are on this side of town

I give this place three stars not because anything happened, but because it was average. The prices weren’t bad, and the Cuban was good, though I still personally like Black Bean Deli more. It’s a very quaint place that I would not have stopped at if a coworker wouldn’t have taken me. Just be forewarned, they only accept cash. And when you go, order the plantains! They were some of the best that I have had in Orlando, and they were made fresh!

I have been here twice, both times for workday lunches, and neither time disappointed. I had the traditional Cuban combo my first time, and I would probably come back for it, but my second visit revealed my menu item of choice… the roast pork sandwich. In my opinion, the best cuban sandwiches have roast pork and ham instead of more standard sliced pork. The roast pork sandwich has a much more forward flavor profile than the standard Cuban in my opinion. Take note, however, that all reviews and signs point to the truth; this is not a quick in and out, but they make no secret of it, so no points are lost here for me. This last time, I tried the quesitos, and they rival the best I’ve ever had. Were this review solely based on the food from my second visit, I would have given five stars. It’s an outdoor joint, so it’s a bit hot in the summer months, but they have fans and friendly service. They are cash only as well, so plan accordingly!

I ordered a Cuban sandwich from here a few weeks ago. Arrived around 11:30am and though there was no one ahead of me, it took quite a bit for them to throw it together and grill it up. The bread was super flavorful and tasted fresh though it was more of a ham sandwich than anything else. The amount of slices of ham versus the pork was about 5 slices ham to 1 slice of pork with slices of cheese, a slather of mustard and pickles thrown in. Now, the quesito I got for dessert was outstanding — crispy because they heated it up a bit and rich in the sugar and cheese. Very yummy!

We’ve found better Cuban’s but their tamale’s are surprisingly wonderful. Who knew? More than once they’ve given us a cold sandwich to go so I’m done here. Waiting for a cold sammy isn’t my bag, baby.

Great place for a Cuban sandwich! Flavors are what a good family own small business focuses on. Quality is alway their staple with consistency time after time. The wait is sometimes slow, but then a well made sandwich deserves that extra time to roast on the press. Well done!

We’ve ordered sandwiches and desserts from here a half dozen times. It’s pretty good by Orlando standards. I’ll keep coming back too. But, it doesn’t meet authentic miami Cuban flavor. What I mean by that, is that it’s not real Cuban bread and the pork is not the same either. I’ve been in Orlando for a decade now, I’m still searching for a Cuban and Chinese spot like down in Miami.

Finally stopped in and gave it a try. The sandwich was fresh, hot and GOOD. Everything I’ve had was awesome. One of the great hidden food spots in the greater Orlando area! Will come again!

I’ve been eating Cuban sandwiches at this place for at least 25 of the 28 years I’ve been on this planet. They’re always absolutely amazing and worth the wait.

This hole-in-the-wall place is just EXCELLENT!!! I’ve ordered their Cuban sandwich and cheese flan. They were just absolutely fantastic! Your food is made to order so it takes a bit of a wait time but it is definitely worth it. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious! Definitely try this place if you are driving by! Oh, this place only accepts cash so bring your cash!

Quality has gone own hill. Still a decent sandwich, but its not a Cuban sandwich. Might still visit it, but I won’t go out of my way for it.

This is my first time here after passing it almost every day, and the Cuban sandwich was absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff!

I’m not a huge fan of Cuban sandwiches, but even I will admit that this place makes excellent Cubans! A little roadside stop, you order through a window and sit outside on a little patio. A limited menu of traditional Cuban fare, I believe this place was on food network at one point. If you’re in the area and want some quick Cuban food, this is a great option.

This is not a fancy restarunt. Just a long standing local joint with good food. I eat here all the time. Life is not complete without one of their roast pork sandwiches and a bunch of hot sauce.

If you are looking for authentic Cuban, this is the place to come! Everything is made fresh & to order. It is on Lee Road right before Edgewater on a corner and not hard to miss. They have a walk up window and some seating on a covered patio, which definitely helped today because it was hot, and the breeze was enjoyable. You can eat there, or get them to go like we did. We ended up getting a Cuban sandwich(ham, pork, swiss cheese, pickles & mustard), Pork sandwich(Pan Con Lechon)(pork, onions, mayo, & mojo), Grilled Cheese sandwich(made with swiss or american, but can do both if requested), Stuffed Potato(papa rellano), and Quesitos(puffed pastry w/cheese filling and sugar on the top). The sandwiches were really good, you wont be disappointed and the prices are reasonable. The stuffed potato was good, just could use some salt. The Quesitos are really good and a little messy but worth it! We wanted fried plantains and tres leches cake but they had already sold out for the day :-( Overall this is definitely worth the stop if your on this side of town! If you are looking for authentic Cuban food then this is the place for you. Not only will you walk away full, you wont break the bank in the process :-)

The food is fresh but nothing spectacular. The black bean soup left a lot to be desired. No flavor, tasted like a can of beans heated up. The Cuban sandwich is good but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. The roast pork sandwich is probably the best thing on the menu but it doesn’t come close to the roast pork sandwich at Cubans on the run in Longwood. Be sure to call ahead & place your order because they are very slow. CASHONLY

Good place to find. Was sick of the fast food in the area, heard about this lunch spot. Cool little place, pretty busy. The wait can be 15 minutes or more, but well worth it. Pretty good Cuban sandwich, the 7″ is more than adequate. I also had the plantains, those were REALLY good.

Is there anywhere else north of Miami that has such good Cuban sandwiches? I don’t think so. It’s surprising this little place on a triangle of land hasn’t moved to a bigger location. It’s tough to park there because there is so little room and you have to share it with the building and the seating. They have a few resin tables and chairs out front of the building and it’s pleasant, except for Love Bug season. The Cuban sandwiches have to be the best outside Miami. There are a few other choices but why bother? This is around the corner from the Korean grocery store where I go, so it’s not a big trip. My only other option was to go to 7-Eleven and have them put it in the waffle iron/sandwich press. I’m not sure many people know, but this place was featured on The Food Network.

Holy moly. I am not exactly quite sure how this place managed to make a cuban sandwich so delicious. The ingredients are simple however when you master a technique such as creating a masterpiece then all the sandwiches making skills come naturally. The best cuban sandwich ever. I guess what I am trying to say is. the following easy ingredients are clearly winners. 1.Fresh toasted cuban bread 2.Thick oozing cheese upon every bite 3. Hot ham to compliment the melting cheese 4. Crunchy pickles 5. Plain ol’ mustard that bangs a punch Crunchy, cheesey, simple perfection…
