craving: cuban!

last week i went to dinner with a friend at my favorite local cuban restaurant, habana libre. whenever i go out for cuban i always order the same thing: an empanada with a cuban sandwich. drool

cuban sandwiches are typically made with smoked ham, sweet ham, roasted pork, swiss cheese, mustard and pickles on toasted french bread. and then there are empandas...glorious pastries stuffed with meat and cheese. yes, please. sandwiches and empanadas aside - i'd like to try other cuban dishes like cuban pulled pork sandwiches or cuban pizza


do you like cuban food? what are some good dishes to try?
xo,

Tampa has tons of great cuban food and my favorites are yours: empanadas and the sandwich. . . although some black beans and pulled pork never hurt either. Delicious.

I love Cuban food! Those sandwiches are everything I could ever want in a sandwich. And Empanadas? LOVE!

Funny enough, I've far preferred the Cuban food I've had in CA or FL over the stuff actually made in Cuba–but I'm pretty sure I'd give my right arm for an empanada right now!
