Sanguich De Miami

Little Havana·$

El Cubano

$12.00

Ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, housemade pickles, and mustard on pressed Cuban bread.

Tip: Michelin recognized this sandwich for good reason. Order it and you'll understand why locals have a 90+ minute wait for lunch.

El Rey de las Fritas

Little Havana·$

Frita Cubana Original

$8.50

Beef and pork patty with sautéed onions, topped with crispy shoestring potatoes on a Cuban roll.

Tip: This is what people line up for. Order the original first to understand the category, then try the Suprema if you want a variation.

#3Score 94/100

El Rey de las Fritas

Little Havana·$

Frita Suprema

$11.50

Beef and pork patty topped with fried white cheese, sweet plantains, onions, and shoestring potatoes.

Tip: The Suprema is more satisfying than the original if you want something filling — the plantains and cheese elevate it significantly.

#4Score 92/100

Versailles Restaurant

Little Havana·$$

Cubano Sandwich

$10.75

Classic Cuban sandwich with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread.

Tip: This is what they ship on Goldbelly — it's their most famous sandwich. Ordering here is fresher than having it delivered.

Ball & Chain

Little Havana·$$

Sandwich Cubano

$19.00

Classic Cuban sandwich with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard.

Tip: Order during lunch specials if available — prices are usually lower than dinner service.

#6Score 88/100

Sanguich De Miami

Little Havana·$

Sanguich De Miami

$12.50

Turkey, bacon, Swiss cheese, mayo, lettuce, and tomato on Cuban bread.

Tip: If you want something different from the traditional Cubano, try this one. The turkey is lighter but equally flavorful.

#7Score 85/100

Sanguich De Miami

Little Havana·$

Pan Con Lechon

$12.00

Slow-roasted pork with garlic-cilantro aioli and housemade pickles on Cuban bread.

Tip: The garlic-cilantro aioli is unique to Sanguich — it gives this a different flavor profile than traditional pan con lechon elsewhere.

#8Score 85/100

El Rey de las Fritas

Little Havana·$

La Chancleta

$10.00

Steak sandwich topped with Swiss cheese and tomato omelette on Cuban bread.

Tip: This is a hidden gem on the menu — less famous than the fritas but equally worth ordering. It's Miami-specific.

#9Score 82/100

Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina

Little Havana·$$

Mojo Chicken Sandwich

$18.00

Grilled chicken breast marinated in citrus-garlic mojo sauce on Cuban bread.

Tip: If you want something lighter than the traditional ham-and-pork Cubano, this mojo chicken is excellent.

El Rey de las Fritas

Little Havana·$

Pan con Lechon

$9.00

Slow-roasted pork with grilled onions and crispy shoestring potatoes on a Cuban roll.

Tip: If you want slow-roasted pork without the beef blend, this is your order. It's equally filling to the fritas.
