What a name box of Cubans, sounds like it might be a cigar store. But it's not. This place is a hidden hidden hidden g e m. Best Cuban sandwich in my current memory. And with all the places I go who knows about my memory. But I'm sure this is a top-level you got to try it you got to go there Cuban sandwich. Now first in order to find this place you drive down the street and it's a little tough. It's hidden inside a convenience store behind the gas station with the little green circle I think BP kind of gas station. Sign is on the big standard out front beneath the gas station stuff and as you walk up to the convenience store there's a smaller Circle that says box of Cubans on the right. Now that you know how to find it get out there and find it and have a great meal. Now back to our meal. Cuban sandwich at all the right attributes that a pure Cuban sandwich should have, including a Cuban family making it. Apparently this running a restaurant has been a dream and a passion for this man and his wife. They are living the dream, and we can participate and be part of that dream by coming on in and having another sandwich or their black beans or my gosh the green sauce that they made to put on the pork I got a little taste of it oh my God it was great. Now I also had an empanada and I have had a lot of empanadas around the country and this one was Far and Away the best. Finally something where the pastry on the empanadas was thin and balanced with the meat, unlike some of the ones I've had with quarter inch thick pastry. This place is where you need to go for lunch in fact I would say call ahead take 10 sandwiches back for the crew at work this is the way to have a meeting and a great lunch. These people are so nice and they're cooking is so loving get on down there and have a good time I did. And I'm going back next time I'm in town. I sure hope it's soon. I can meet up when you live 2000 miles away

Marcos and Oni, we are so happy to meet you! Your food is delicious and that is hands down the best pulled pork I've tried, so tender and full of flavor! Thank you for the recommendations, the mojito pork sandwich is outstanding and we loved the Cubano.
