- With the largest Cuban American populations in the country, it's no surprise the Cuban sandwich reigns supreme in South Florida. The ham, cheese, and roast pork combo is not to be missed during a visit to the Sunshine State. Sanguich de Miami makes the legendary Cuban sandwich almost entirely in-house, which isn't the case at every Cuban restaurant. From the seven days its cooks spend brining ham, to the pickles they make in-house, to the Cuban bread specially made by a local bakery, every ingredient in this sandwich is intentionally prepared and cared for.

The Cuban Sandwich That Reigns Supreme in Miami | Legendary Eats
I went down and picked up 2 sandwiches for me and my buddy in fort lauderdale...i was gonna surprise him...mine was sooo good i ate both and never told him .
That's treason.
Maaan how dare you lol id stleast have split the second one
@@jordansme1234567 ....no way, they are opening in coral springs soon......much closer.
That’s a nice bread to filling ratio.
I went there today as good as the pictures
That look when he reverse interrupted his wifes interruption was proof she's Cuban af
🤣
Yup. That blink was fierce
Abusive behaviour
Red flags 🚩 already,wouldn’t be surprised if they’re divorced by now
@@Lobo47478 it's an interruption not verbal abuse. I'm Cuban and Colombian, everyone interrupts eachother. It's annoying but it's not abuse.
After living in Miami for 7 years, and now living in the Pacific Northwest, the intense craving for a true Cubano is constant. There is a food truck 30 miles away that does something like a Cuban, but its not the same. They don't even use Cuban bread. This weekend, I'm going to be making the Cuban bread from scratch to see how if I can. Eventually, I'll be able to make this entire thing at home.
How did it go
Please tell us how it went
Cafe Con Leche in Seattle is the closest you'll get. It's also my most favourite place to go to. Their Pan Con Lechon is amazing and to die for
cuban sandwich was invented a Tampa
WE NEED RESULTS GOD DAMNIT JOSEPH GIVE US THE NUMBERS WERE ARE THE NUMBERS
I have been to this place a lot. It is without a doubt the best Cuban sandwich I have ever eaten. The croquetta preparada is also incredible. The owners are there all the time too.
2:26 lol the guy trying to talk then the girl go brr
4:33* but yeah I caught that too 😂
2:20* you can hear him thinking Al Bundy style SHUT UP WOMEN
4:35 too 🤣
Made me LOL
1000
Just got back from Miami, wanted to give it a try and honestly it was one of the best Cuban Sandwiches I had.
I pretty much had a Cubano everyday at different notable places and this one was the best!
Tampa has the best Cuban sandwiches where they were invented.
Lies again? Cold Storage Support Indonesia Malaysia
I'm from New York but tried one in Florida once and it's legit the best sandwich I've ever had
The Cuban sandwich was delicious. It's dawn right now and I'm thinking about eating toast.
if miami's to cuban sandwich, then what's to south korea?
@@1990Thunderbolt I think they have a sweet egg bread or something like that.
@@souvikdeb2523 i mean their main cuisines.
She interrupted him twice lol
Sure you're not having a stroke?
Sometimes you will find a restaurant so secure that they will show you completely the how and why. Their pride in their heritage shines through. They simply wanted to do this accurately. Watching this made me realize on my last trip to Miami that I went to the wrong restaurant. Their sandwich looked correct, but wasn’t good. When you find someone that says don’t put the mustard and pickles together....they demonstrate understanding. Next time I will come here. Price won’t matter. Luckily we do have one place in Dallas with a good Cuban. Small Cuban population I suppose. Damn this pandemic! I need to go right now!
48 year old Miami native here. I can absolutely vouch for the sandwiches at sangwich de miami. Almost everything here is amazing. The only thing I don’t agree with is the pan con bistec, which is way not traditional. It is a good sandwich though but everything else is traditional but elevated. The owners are there all the time and it shows.
True fact: the Cuban Sandwich originated in the cultural district of Ybor City in Tampa, Florida. It follows the basic structure: roasted pulled pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and dill pickles. In some stores or restaurants, they also add Genoa salami to honor the Italian immigrants that also settled in the area. The Bread is important, but it has to be baked a certain way, with the use of a palm leaf to give it the signature crevasse in the top crust. Certain bakeries in Tampa -- chiefly La Segunda and Alessi's -- carry this tradition to give our local Cuban Sandwiches their distinct look.
I don't doubt that folks believe they're getting authentic Cubans in Miami, but if you want to get the ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC sandwich, you can find them in Ybor and many other places here in Tampa.
Yor are correct, Tampa originated the Cuban sandwich and living in Tampa I get to enjoy them often !
Wrong. It originated in Cuba and became popular in Key West much before traveling north to Ybor City. Ybor city Italians added Salami to the Cubano which Cuba nor even Miami includes in their Cuban sandwich.
“Classic marriage of meat and protein”😐

yup xDD
Cheese is protein but not meat.
@@mcgovemj meat is protein

"The fabric of our culinary landscape." What beautiful phrasing.
I was thinking the whole time how she was such a good speaker! The guy was talking and was like no let her talk 🤣
Landscape and fabric doesn't really make sense when you think about it.
@@helloeverybody9675 you don't even have to think about it all that hard.
Lol
@@ABCowl The guy said this though
I love a good sandwich! When I visited Miami at the start of the year from the uk, the Cuban sandwich lived up to expectations 🤤
While good, the Miami Cubano is inferior to the Tampa version which includes Genoa salami and bread made with lard.....yes, LARD.
@@JGW845 sounds damn interesting to me!
@@JGW845 they literally say in the video that they use lard in their bread for this specific restaurant 😂
@@BRan863 "El Segunda" bakery is THE place to get Cuban bread and other baked goods. The best sandwich is to be enjoyed at the Columbia on 7th Ave in Ybor City but other places make sandwiches nearly as good. Not to be missed is the "Devil Crab," a Tampa specialty. Best described as a "croquetta," it is spiced blue crab meat stuffed in a "dough" made of stale Cuban bread and deep fried. Served with hot sauce and COLD "Jai Lai" IPA with some cole slaw on the side it is heaven! Note: Transplants refer to it erroneously as "Deviled Crab" but it is uniquely a Tampa delicacy and it is called "Devil Crab!"
@@JGW845 that sounds like the sauce
the recognition is so well deserved---- viva sanguich!
My fam and I visit Miami all the time and these sandwiches are the best! We even bring them back home to Trinidad!
This look just like a Chimi here in DR 🇩🇴, gotta love them carribean food , much love to all cuban out there ❤️
She just took over the whole interview.
Dang let him talk...
Being a cuban male this is why I did not marry a cuban woman. They are so abrasive.
it is obvious who wears the pants in that relationship :)
@@pcproff Heard this before !
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
She's the man of the house 😂😂
She makes those sandwiches with dedication and love.
Just for the video
I'm going to be having one of those in less than a month now...I can't wait to compare it to the one I got in Tampa Bay at LA Segunda Bakery. I don't know if there is a bad Cuban sandwich but I think I could eat one every week for the rest of my life!
Tony, if you had a Cuban at La Segunda you had one of the best if not the best. Miami will not really compare as they do not have the same "Cuban bread" as La Segunda and use what looks more like a hoagie roll.
I LOVE a good Cuban sandwich. Ugh, this makes me want one right now, lol.
Cuban sandwiches are soooo amazing. If I lived I south Florida I’d eat these nearly every day.
Looks delicious!!! Can’t wait to try it!!!!
Looks amazing.
I did not eat pork until I tasted the Cuban! I'm now addicted!
I Love Cuban sandwich & Cuban food, in general. It's pure comfort food. The way its marinated and cooked for hours, results in the most delicious flavors you will ever experience.
Wow that looks amazing.
After I watched “Chef” I came up with my own recipe. My ex-wife’s family used to roast a pig in la caja china, so I knew what seasonings to use. We used to marinate the pig for 2 days in homemade mojo sauce. I ended up using a slightly spicy mustard with half sour pickles. I added prosciutto just like in the movie. Holy shit, was it delicious!!!
What seasonings did you use?
@@KTBFFH for the pork
marinade I used sour orange juice, oregano, garlic, bay leaves, and salt.
Some recipes say to use an orange juice/lemon juice substitute, but using the sour orange makes a huge difference.
This sounds so good!
A Cuban sandwich (Spanish: Sándwich cubano es) is a variation of a ham and cheese sandwich that likely originated in cafes catering to Cuban workers in Tampa[1][2] or Key West,[3] two early Cuban immigrant communities in Florida centered on the cigar industry. Later on, Cuban exiles and expatriates brought it to Miami,[2] where it is also very popular. The sandwich is made with ham, (mojo) roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread.[1][4][5][6][7] Salami is included in Tampa, where there is a large Italian population, but is not usually included in South Florida.[8][9][10]
I went to this restaurant when it first opened. I have been thinking about this Cuban sandwich for the last 2 or 3 years. I'm long overdue for another visit.
I’ve never seen it as a “come and go” this is a masterfully done appetizing meal
Looked great. I'd like to try that someday.
Florida native that moved to Minnesota. This makes me cry. It’s pronounced “Sangwich”
ASI VIENE EL SANGUICH MANG!
That looks so good!
The only true thing I miss from Florida. I lived there 14 yrs and that sandwich is like a good warm hug. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👑❤️❤️
They both cut each other alot while speaking!!! Made in heaven
What is "alot", is that word in the dictionary?
@@nola305 yes.
Went to Miami this weekend for a Cuban sandwich at Versailles!
I grew up in Queens, NY in the 60's & 70's in a multi Latin community especially Cuban Americans. There were many Cuban restaurants there as well as in the areas of Union City, NJ, Manhattan & Long Island so I have eaten hundreds of Cuban sandwiches throughout my life especially now living in Miami since 1979. I have never had a Cuban sandwich like the one made in Sanguich. All the components are made in house using old fashioned time consuming techniques. It is MARVELOUS! Thank GOD that I live nearby. Can't wait for their Coral Gables location to open because they are always packed at their SW 8th street & 21st ave. location.
Thanks for making excellence!!
Man. Those look outstanding. Seriously outstanding. The carne asada sandwiches in my area (SW USA) are outstanding. Couple places have excellent Philly's and occasionally really good roast beef. This all said. Yeah.... A great Cuban sandwich will knock your socks off. I was actually envisioning taking the wife unit out there once the Rona lightens up to check it out.
I love Cuban sandwich I’m from Miami born in Miami and I’m proud to say the Cuban sandwich was not born in Cuba it was born in Miami is a Miami icon
actually the original cuban sandwich was born in Tampa
@@travellergst1564 actually the Cuban sandwich was made in pre-revolution cuba, almost 100 years old now in 2022, in later years after the Cuban revolution, the “cubano sandwich” was a thing of the past and was re-created in Tampa Florida, 2nd home of the cubano sandwich.
In 1971 I had a real Cuban sandwich at the Guantanamo Base at the Cuban village on the base. Have not had anything that good since then.
Wayne, I too had the Cuban sandwich in Gitmo. (1982-1983) They were incredible as I recall.
Haven't had one in 40 years. This Easter weekend I'm going to try my hand at recreating that sandwich. Will be making my own Cuban bread also.
Love this sandwich
"Cubans aren't made with Mayonnaise!" "You want extra SWISS CHEESE on that?"
Go figure! SMH at those food snobs. I think we all eat what we like or why bother. Personally I like mayo.
No you eat that mustard or else!!! LOL
smacks of arrogance to tell people how to eat, just because its not traditional. Having cubanos in the US is not traditional. let people have what they want FFS if i got that "only on the side" speal I would not go back.
Mayo is just egg.
@@vids595 spit it out
This cubanos such a work of art.. can't wait to get my hands on them!
That looks really good. 😋
"Que mas carne, ni mas carne - asi viene el sandwich, meng!" 😅
So beautiful. I would like to fly there now just for a Cuban Sandwich!
Same here!!! Same applies to flying to Maine for a "Lobster Roll" sandwich!!!!
My husband, our kids and I, drove across the country from California to Miami the little Habana just to try a cuban sandwich. We had to try the real deal. We found cuban restaurants here in California but there was something about the sandwiches in the little Habana that oh man, We can't wait to go back!! 😋
My first cuban sandwich was at Porto’s bakery in Burbank, Ca and I wasn’t impressed. I’ve never been to Miami but I don’t doubt these are leaps ahead of what I got at Porto’s. Even the ones I make at home are better.
When you go to Miami you also have to try a Cuban frita. It’s a Cuban style hamburger with a twist(the meat is chorizo). In my humble opinion as a Cuban man they taste better than a Cuban sandwich. Also don’t forget about Cuban pizza and a medianoche sandwich.
Oh god ... This looks so good
one my fav things to do in Miami
That sandwich 🥪 looks so tasty. I always liked Cuba and now i like even more
Wow that lady cannot stop interrupting that gentleman when he’s speaking.
i wouldnt be able to be near her for too long
Lmao, ikr
These kind of women is good for business but not good for day to day living situation. They are extremely career driven, and wants all the limelight. Me being a simple guy, can't stand that situation.
(That's my opinion others may like them)
She's Cuban
Ella es Cubana 🤷🏽♂️
I always wanted to try this cubank sandwich, looks amazing🤩🤩
My parents owned a Cuban cafe in NYC in the 70s.....they made an awesome Cuban sandwich !
Nice! I never met a Cuban American I didn’t like.
I always wanted to try this!!!!!!!!!!! Looks Delivious, love eating pork so much!!!!
In Tampa, where the sandwich is said to have been created, you can get a Cuban with salami and it’s fantastic
It did originate there. In Ybor City, before Miami was even incorporated.
Tampa is the birthplace of the cuban... get it correct
@@bcast9978 But Miami made it main stream, outside Ybor City, you will never see a Cuban with Salami, the Bread is 100% better in Tampa, the best places in Miami always brought the bread from Tampa with the signature Palmetto leave.
That’s disgusting
I love Cuban sandwiches but the Ybor [tampa] style is the best version.. other than the medianoche
Im Cuban-american but most of my family are from Cuba, the cuban has alawys been kinda meh to me, the medianoche is where its at.
Tampa represent miss ya! Im in Texas now cant find a decent cuban sandwich here! LOL
Ybor Cubans add Genoa salami......
Blasphemy
@@theynvme417 Medianoche is by far the best. I like the sweet bread so much better, and then I get the guava and cheese pastry with a guarapo. Medianoche is definitely slept on
Looks Awesome !!!!
Amazing!
I went in August 2019 - absolutely loved it! And the Timba (guava and cream cheese milkshake) will live on in my memory forever. Yum!
Really wish there was a good source of Cuban food and coffee here in NS, Canada. This sandwich looks amazingly delicious, really like that they stay true to the original and won't deviate i.e no mayo, only mustard.
New York City and New Jersey should have some good Cuban food. Their is a good amount of Cubans up there.
Amazing! I, want to experience this cuisine, and culture. I'll be traveling this summer and Miami is one of my destinations. Thank you for posting video. Very good. Respect and blesses.
I'm going to Tampa Florida on my birthday for 2 weeks this year, i'm definitely going to try this legendary sandwich.
"I will not be part of ruining the sandwich". Man, I've wanted to say that to SO MANY customers. It's like 'Get it the way it comes or don't bother.'
I would say the same. Mayo on a Cuban, although tasty bc I’ve had it, is sacrilege!
I wouldnt be surprised some idiot might wanna put catsup in it !!!! =\ Id take it away from him, give him his money back and throw him out !
This is an example of what America does and why America is great. The mixture of cultures is definitely one of our strengths. Assimilation doesn't mean you completely reject your heritage or allow someone to make you ashamed for being from somewhere. Assimilation means pulling together for the common good - not tearing down history and breathing hatred toward people who are not like yourself. Assimilation means JOINING the civilization and not replacing it with some idealized nonsense that has never worked anywhere else in the whole world. It doesn't matter where you're from or how you got here.
My grandfather used to make rolls with lard. On the outside and endside. Best rolls I have ever had.
Hopefully soon I can get back down there and try this out.
The only sandwich recognized and approved by us Floridians that isnt a Pub Sub
Second that 😂😂😂😂
Third that👍
Damn but absolutely nothing like a Chicken Tender Pub Sub made just like how you like it... and especially when you didn't expect it to be on sale that week!
This place is super legit!! That make a Cuban nachos dish, with plantains lechón and a cilantro sauce. Bananas 🔥🔥🔥 the croquetas, the batidos, everything here is exceptional 🔥🔥🤤🤤
you never been to its real birthplace Tampa
If it was legit, they wouldn't be making nachos...
@@sushimaster652 very true.. Tampa is the true home of The Cuban Sandwich
@@sushimaster652 Miami probably does not even do Crab Chilau... I never saw it when I was in Miami
@@FlaMan991 Are you trying to say crab enchilado???
I'm from Chicago and idk but the Cuban sandwiches are amazing! I would love to try one from Miami.
I just had it today and holy shit , it was fire 100% recommended to everyone who comes down here to Miami , and the mamey batido was also the best , it’s a most this place you have to try it.
I fell in love with this after watching the movie - Chef
YES!! That movie literally made me want to visit Miami just to try a Cubano.
Around the same time - about 1896 - a Sicilian named Francisco Ferlita created a new bread at his Ybor City Joven Bakery. It was a little like a French baguette, about three feet long with a hard, crispy crust and a soft, airy inside. The top was scored with a palmetto leaf to create a canyon down the middle of the loaf. It was square on the ends and usually shortened with lard. He called it Cuban bread.
Though no hard proof exists, anecdotally the mixto became popular on Cuban bread. Thus the modern Cuban sandwich was born. The preparation is simple, but specific: Cut the bread in half, then layer ham, mojo-garlic marinated roast pork, and salami, in that specific order. Then add swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard spread on top. Lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and whether or not to press the sandwich are still topics of heated debate.
Yas!!!
I’m so excited. I’m going over
Getting this on Sunday. Yes happy mothers day to me 😁😍
I hope you enjoyed your day.
Can u do one on what soups, sausages, BBQ, cured meats, smoked items pickles,preserved food items & dairy products look like around the word.
And how potatoes, carrots & corn are cooked around the word.
Awesome, this place is the real deal, although I’m partial to panadería España and Panadería La Ceiba, with Cuban sandwiches to die for! They are both local bakeries that have been around for long time and considered local institutions in San Juan Puerto Rico.
Yesssssss España in PR is my fav! I will have to try this place too! Looks great!
There's a 105 year old cuban restaurant in Tampa fl.
Oh my goodness, I CAN’T wait to try this in Miami
For a better Cuban sandwich, go to Tampa.
This is literally the most mouth watering thing i have ever seen
Had one by accident, best accident I ever made. I love Cuban sandwiches
That’s awesome way to find out about them
"there are no accident"
The Cuban sandwich made in Miami is different from the Cuban made in Tampa. In Tampa we have the "real" Cuban bread and not what looks like a standard "hoagie" roll we also use salami, pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard which is then pressed. La Segunda Bakery in Ybor City ( Tampa ) has been baking Cuban Bread for 110 years and the Cuban sandwich started around 1920 to feed the workers in the cigar factories in Ybor city. The Miami Cuban sandwich did look good, but for sure if you ever taste Tampa Cuban bread you will know the difference. *** And the debate goes on - who makes a better Cuban sandwich *** Tampa or Miami LOL
I live in Tampa, I think it’s fair to say Miami and Tampa Cubans are both great.
I have had them in both cities and the bread is very different
Cuba makes the best Cuban sandwich lol
@@bolch88bb8 this is a weird take considering the Cubano was invented in Tampa (Ybor City) by Cuban immigrants, but ok.
Miami makes the Best Cuban & Media Noche (Midnite Sandwich) sorry Tampa, but much love to my Cuban brothers and sister's in Tampa.
Wow that looks very good
She had me at "no mayonnaise" ❤
...she was savage the way she snatched that cubano from him.🤘
Whoa that looks good!
It is cool that people come from Europe to try it.
That lady is my hero!! I wouldn't ruin anything with mayo.
Yep, nothing screams Cuba like Polish pickles and Swiss cheese. French mayo would be beyond the pale.
Mayo/aioli legit makes any sandwich better, if not on an objective level, on a scientific level
Correction The Cuban sándwich is not of Miami origins. The Cuban Sándwich has been around long before the 1959 cuban revolution brought throngs of exiles to Florida. The Cuban Sándwich comes from Tampa and goes back 100 years as immigrant Cubans came to Tampa to work in its Cigar industry in Ybor City. The
Segunda Central Bakery with its 105 year history and a still a staple in Ybor today can boast that historic claim. So all due respects Miami but its a Tampeño Sandwich.
Thank you for setting them straight. BTW I preferred Maurico Faedo's bread and now I hear La Segunda bought them out.
With all respect Tampeña, it's a Cuban sandwich from 🇨🇺 which I ate as a little kid.. the problem is you could NEVER find all ingredients if you know what I mean so it ended up being a sjaponica! bread w imitation cheese and jamonada!
man this sando is beautiful!!!
Wow, mouth watering
Looks good! 🤤
And i just watched Chef movie last weekend. Damn, you reading my mind bro.
Great video!!💥😎👌👍
I think I’m in love 😍 the sandwich looks good too 😏
When you say the dish is with letchon you know its goona be good
You mean the Cuban Sandwich is to *Tampa* as what pizza is to New York.
Correct
Exactly 💯.. That bread does not look like authentic Cuban bread. If you don't use palm leaves down the center, it's just wrong. Big ups to La Segunda bakery.
Thank you! Tampa rep
Since you are going to be opening one in WI, it's just a hop and a skip to open another in MN...every element of those sandwiches looks delicious! The crunch of the bread and the juice dripping with each bite...I'd take that sandwich over a turkey dinner any day!
for those that think this is good, try the media noche (midnight sandwich) also cuban. it's the same thing except they use sweet bread which to me is way better.
I make “cuban” sandwiches at home with King’s Hawaiian bread and it’s sooo good.
Gracias, Cuba, por lo que le has otorgado a mi país (USA). Saludos.
