What it is
A South Dixie Highway institution with a walk-up window, Cuban coffee poured with conviction, and a Cuban sandwich that USA Today rated top 10 in Florida. No frills, no pretense, no reason to sit inside when the window does the job.
What to order
- Cuban sandwich — the reason this place has a reputation.
- Cafe con leche from the ventanita. Stand outside and drink it like you mean it.
- Pastelitos if they're fresh.
Floyorker take
This is the kind of neighborhood spot that NYC transplants crave: a place where the food is the entire point and the ambiance is the food.
