I might tag along on her next trip and do a compare and contrast of Tampa vs Miami.. have the Tampa one, then when she is done take a day to head down to Miami and have their version.

The Patrinostro is ridiculously good as well

La Segunda makes a good sandwich. My regular place for Cuban sandwiches (and hot Cuban food) to go is the Interbay Meat Market. Go in, order the sandwiches, grab a couple drinks and then drive down the street to the Ballast Point Park and eat on a picnic table by the water.

Tough to find a Cuban sandwich here in Texas.  Last time I had one was from Evies subs on Summerland Key.

Never had a Cuban sandwich in Tampa.

Had a good one near the university of Miami though (shitty neighborhood, but a good sandwich).

Had really good black beans from a little trailer in the keys.

I prefer the Tampa style. I loathe everything about Miami, especially all 87 of their trash football fans.

Tampa is the original and still the best. Miami tards are just wrong.

Funny part is that the campus is not even in Miami, it's in Coral Gables, and it has no football stadium.

Tampa is the best.  

There was a local Cuban guy on the westside of Indy that made the best Cubans I've had in the Midwest but he retired last summer.  :(  16 hours is a long roadtrip just for a sandwich.  ...but I'm still tempted from time to time.  :D

If you like grouper sandwiches, in the Tampa Bay area try Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs. But my favorite fish sandwich in Florida is the fried Hogfish sandwich at the Hogfish Bar and Grill on Stock Island (Key West).

Make one. We can’t get a Cuban around here, so I make em. The secret to making a Cuban is to start with the best ingredients you can find, don’t cheap out on the ham. Don’t be bashful with the mojo.

My favorite is the one I make myself.

Smoked pork made by me, boars head smoked ham, provolone, spicy pickles and spicy mustard on whatever good bread is available at the bakery.

Occasionally with bacon, which takes it over the top.

Uh, in GA we had several Venezuelan shops that made filled arepas. Sometimes cuisines spread.

At a local coffee shop, I see they have Cuban samwiches and Cuban coffee on the menu...I'm kinda skeptical, but after trying their breakfast burritos, may give it a shot.
