[Skittle]

[Clifford]

My uncle used to have a place on busch/56th street but he closed it. :( it was sooooo damn good too. but i dontn know how to spell it its like burgatos or something i dont know fuck it haha. Im ALWAYS down for a kickass pressed cuban

[Tom]

fuckin 711 is the SHIT!!! $3?? you cant beat it, god i can live off those things

[JamesH]

i used to make some badass cubans when i had my sandwich shop.

[Dunecune442]

Alessi bakery. Nuff said.

[Fast420A]

2 Places to try, The Forest Hills Deli on North Blvd and Linebaugh and then Keystone Korner on the corner of Crawley Rd and Tarpon Springs Rd. Those 2 have some of the best cubans around that I have found. Keystone Korner is my personal favorite but I am not out there as much anymore to eat them and the Forest Hills Deli is right next to my house.

Latin Cafe' in Brandon is the only Cuban resturant in the Tampa area that I have been to that actually makes it the right way.
Cuban bread, pork, ham, swiss cheese, musturd, pickles and pressed. no lettuce, tomatoe, salami(sp?) or mayo. thats shit does not belong on a real Cuban sandwich

thats a good thing but it seems like every place I go to puts salami on them and ask if i want it pressed and if I want it all the way l/t/m

[Cold_Beer]

Norma's Ybor city cubans.....in plant city... :lol:

[John]

Bearss Sandwich shop on FL just south of Bearss. It's not made the "right" way, but it tastes fucking amazing

might have to try that out this weekend... i'll be up there at the madre's house.

My favorite is probably La Segunda Bakery in north Ybor (15th, north of I4). Its a takeout only, not super traditional but damn good. West Tampa Sandwich shop on Armenia is probably my favorite eat-in-traditional cuban. I've probably had cubans from 20 different locations in Tampa, those are my fav. I'm always down for trying something new though.

[CrapBag]

Publix buffalo chicken tender sub=best sub on the face of the earth.

Older Spanish man and his wife own the place. It's PACKED at lunch time. The food period is great.

[Tits McGee]

Lala's on 56th street in Temple Terrace always used to have good sammiches when I went there.

[ImportLuv]

Agree. Cuban sandwiches are easy to make. Buy the ham, bread, etc., and assemble it and hot press it. Easy.

[fresh&clean]

La septima in Brandon has the best cubans
Nuff said.

[Frankie]

Cafe Kolao on 49th St in Pinellas Park has the best cuban hands-down. They actually use real roasted pork, like, you can watch them pull it off of the pig before it hits the sammitch. It's definitely choice.

[jabtay]

I had one last night from some place on N Dale up by TGI fridays. That was good as hell...we ate and ate on those bitches. Unfortunatly I dont know the name of the place, a buddies GF brought them to us.

That sounds like what i'm looking for :lol:...I think im going there today.

[Skittle]

I ate one from Dominicks Deli one Ehrlich Road,good shit...Checking in :-D :lol:

[XtremeSaturn]

CoCo Loco off Dale Mabry on Broad St. $2 for a half cuban (more than enough...trust me) and a coke. They have some kick ass breaded palimia steak as well. You get a HUGE piece and fries for I think $6.

[Skylightangl]

Whatever you do, don't waste your time at the Joffrey's in Channelside. They ALWAYS burn them. And yet, I still eat them every day, I guess it's lack of better morning resturants around.

If you are referring to Don Pann bakery, you need to try some new Cubans. I ate there on Wednesday and what a friggin waste - overpriced and under taste.

[Fatalia]

Best place I had one was at this little no name shop in a strip plaza at Memorial and Town N Country, little spanish place, charged $1.99 for a cuban... haven't had one as good since, place closed down so that sucks... now I gotta eat the ones here at work, which are surprisingly good as well. :)

[BigBodySmith]

La Cubanita on Lumsden ave in Brandon

[RSXTC]

Lennys sub shop and SUbs-N-Such are both good...

Im not sure if thats it or not. But it was a damned good cuban

[JRacke]

we make some supposedly pretty killer ones at my dads deli in the office complex on the corner of MLK and Falkenburg. And all the way to us isn't l/t but we do put salami. I havent been down here long enough to spot a real cuban from a fake anyways I've jus heard l/t isn't normal on cubans :dunno:

[98MODMTR]

7 Eleven Pressed cubans are the best I have truly ever had. Don't know what it is, but I can't get enough of those damn things.

LMAO they are good but La Septima in Brandon has the best cuban.

[Clifford]

haha its funny because my cousin is "Mr. Alessi" haha, good stuff, too bad he doesn't give me free stuff, but he hooks my grandma up haha.

[hixeclipse]

i havent had pressed cubans from many places..but here is a few really good ones...Alessi bakery(dont know where), Whaleys has some good ones...its on howard in SoHo, and Drive to the very end of bayshore at the little park...there is this little place by the docks that have good pressed cubans

[SpottedMango]

[Scarface]

DON PAN on dale mabry........

[Clifford]

Don Pan blows t3h nuts. Housewife bakeshop also can get a nice cuban going too.

[BoogieDown]

CT's on Bush blvd next to chamberland is pretty good

[violentlydave]

Papi's on Armenia, on the west side of the road, just north of Hillsborough. No english spoken, $2.50 for a sandwich, they're great.

La Terra Cita makes a good one that's not too expensive (main one on Columbus, there's small ones splattered around).

And while I felt cheesy paying for a $6 cuban, there was a joint on Central in St Pete next to Central Cigars.. fantastic.. I think they went very citrusy (almost even some straight lemon juice) on the pork (no mojo creolo i've ever tasted were that lemony). Great.

[Clifford]

I just tried one, in spite of this thread, on Florida it's a place called "The Cuban Sandwhich Shop" Not a bad cuban...too bad my server looked like she just got off work from Nebraska the night before haha

Actually that place is the JAM, I remember I used to skip mom's meal just so I can go to tha place. I give that place a rating of 5 - Fidel Castros.


Another place that's really good and I haven't looked at the rest of the thread but is that Airport Deli or whatever right accross from the St Pete/Clearwater airport... That place makes also pretty good cubans.

[Lonna]

1. Mr. Special - On MLK in Drew park (a pretty nasty hole in the wall but KICK ASS cubans & some other spanish food) I haven't had one in so long, I can taste it!!! :yumyum:

2. Larry's Deli- US 41 in Land O Lakes (grew up on those...The BEST gringo cuban ever)

Bearss Sandwich Shop is pretty good, a little place in Tarpon Springs on Alt 19 called Muzzies (but their BLT owns all-on homemade bread).

Don Pan was awful...I wondered how anyone could ruin a cuban... :thumbdwn:
