The Cubano Sandwich is a classic Cuban treat with layers of savory ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, and pickles, all pressed to perfection. Alternatively, the Cochinito Sandwich offers a tasty take on the Cuban roast pork, while the Lechn Sandwich features succulent roast suckling pig.

For sides, the Braised Collard Greens are a tender and savory choice, while the Boniato (Cuban sweet potato) and Maduros Tostones add a sweet and crispy contrast. If you prefer something more substantial, the Steamed Yucca is a delicious, starchy accompaniment.

Salads like the Mixta Salad and Ensalada de Aguacate bring a refreshing burst of flavor to balance out the rich, meaty dishes. The Solo Aguacate is a simple yet satisfying choice for avocado lovers.

Don't forget to indulge in the sweet side with Arroz con Leche or the rich Sweet Creamy Caramel Flan, both perfect for ending your meal on a high note.

Pair your meal with a Cuban classic, such as a Cafecito Cubano or Caf con Leche, or enjoy a tropical milkshake like Guanabana Batido or Pltano Batido. For a refreshing soda, try the Materva or Malta Hatuey for an authentic Cuban touch.
