Cuban Classics We Serve
These are the Cuban staples that people come back for. Some are full meals, some are perfect for sharing, and some feel straight out of a Cuban cafetería. Pick your favorite, then decide if you want to share. No judgment either way.
Picadillo a la Habanera
Picadillo is one of the most iconic Cuban comfort foods. It’s savory, rich, and deeply seasoned, the kind of dish that tastes like it has history. If you want something that feels authentically Cuban without needing an introduction, this is it.
Lechón Asado
Our Lechón Asado is Cuban roast pork marinated in a sour orange and garlic mojo. The flavor profile is bright, garlicky, and deeply satisfying. It’s the type of plate that makes you understand why Cuban roast pork has such a loyal following.
Media Noche
The Media Noche is a Cuban sandwich classic with a twist: sweet bread. It’s pressed, warm, and stacked with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. If you like a Cubano but want something softer and slightly sweeter, this is the move.
Cubano
The Cubano is the heavyweight champion of pressed sandwiches. Roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread, pressed until everything melts together. Simple ingredients, legendary result.
Cuban Bread
Cuban bread matters. It’s what gives sandwiches like the Cubano and Media Noche their signature texture when pressed. If you’ve ever wondered why a Cubano tastes different from a regular sandwich, this is a big part of the answer.
Ham Croquettes
Ham croquettes are a Cuban cafetería staple. Crispy on the outside, savory and comforting on the inside, and dangerously easy to snack on. They also pair well with pretty much anything else on the menu.
What to Pair with Cuban Favorites
Cuban food is all about balance. Rich pork loves something bright and refreshing.
Pairing ideas that fit the Cuban vibe:
- A pressed sandwich with a crisp side like tostones or fries
- Ham croquettes as a starter, then a main like Lechón Asado
- A classic soda or coffee style pairing, depending on the time of day
