Which Tampa Bay Restaurant Has The Best Cuban Sandwich?
Mashed has made a list of the restaurants that have the best Cuban sandwiches in America and there are a few on the list right here in Tampa Bay.
West Tampa Sandwich Shop came in #1 on their list saying about the sandwich, “Served in the classic Tampa style, this sandwich features ham, pork, salami, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, mustard and pickles on pressed Cuban dough. If you’re looking to mix it up a bit, add a presidential touch of a slight dab of honey.”
La Segunda Central Bakery in Tampa is #2 on the list saying, “La Suguna’s Cuban consists of Mojo marinated roasted pork, smoked ham, Genoa Salami, Swiss cheese, pickles, and “special sauce,” all on their freshly made bread. Order with a large Café Con Leche and start your day like a Ybor local.”
The Columbia Restaurant in Tampa is #3 on the list saying, “Served classic Tampa style, the restaurant still uses their original 1915 recipe, with the same proportions of meat and laying with buttered and pressed Cuban bread. As one of the most popular items on the menu, the Cubano has yet to go out of style and still draws hungry patrons.”
The final Tampa Bay area restaurant on the list is Bodega in St. Petersburg, which comes in at #5 on the list. Here is what they say about their Cuban sandwich, “Serving “Latin Street Food,” Bodega’s Cuban features roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mayonnaise, and mustard for a classic take on the Tampa version (sans the salami). The shop couples their sandwiches with fresh-squeezed juices for a perfect pairing for lunch in the Florida sun.”
