Oh. My. Word. I came here on a Saturday afternoon expecting a decent sandwich. I got incredibly delicious food, a tasty local craft beer, and even live music by a very talented flamenco guitarist/vocalist. Are you kidding me? Gonna have to come back every Saturday from now on! We started with the chicken/turkey croquetas, served with a nice pink sauce for dipping. We added a side of their guava ketchup too. We got three croqueta balls that were crunchy on the outside, creamy like masa on the inside though there is no dairy, and the flavor was just wow! There are two other croqueta flavors, I will be sure to try those next time. Hubby had the El Principito sandwich, minus the cheese (lactose intolerant). Sandwich comes with a very nice mustard for dipping, so cheese was not missed. And the three meats in the sandwich were so flavorful, just wow. I had the Sancho Panza frita burger and it was hands down the best burger I'd had in a VERY long time. The malanga shoestring fries have a beautiful, earthy and salty flavor, a nice change from the standard potato sticks. All in all, an excellent meal and I'm so happy I live close by! read more

Sensational sandwich spot! The breakfast platters are great and their spin on traditional Cuban sandwiches deserves praise. They offer some of the best waffle fries I've had. The sauces are incredible, especially the Guava Ketchup. The service is great and I also dig the theme with the medieval story vibe. They have board games available so you can hang here with the gang. read more

Wow, wow, wow. Hidden gem in Doral. Wonderful sandwiches and burgers with a twist. Came for brunch and plan on coming back for their Halloween party and Dia de Los Sandwiches event on Sunday 11/2/25 from 4-7pm. We started with the ham and chorizo croquetas and house made elderberry lemonade. We then had Volcanes y Baobabs which for those of you who remember Bennigan's monte Cristo, this will take you back and then some. Delicious with a materva batter and media noche bread. We had to have the creole fires that never disappoint and ended with the peanut butter chocolate chip salted pretzel cookie. Yes, it was as good as it sounds. To top it off, we were able to get a bag of dog treats for a pug meet up. Can't express enough what a great experience we had. There was even live music on Saturday when we went around 3pm. read more

Great food, atmosphere, and service. Came here looking for some Cuban sandwiches and to try some Cuban coffee which I have heard a lot about prior to moving here. The coffee was great, super flavorful with some caffeine if you like that. It can also be served with cups to pass around. The sandwich was also very good. Sauce on the side paired together very well. I got a house salad, sandwich shown, and the colado for a little under $30! Great option if you're looking for a smaller, cozy diner with great food and music. read more

SO GOOD! I've eaten here a couple of times now at the recommendation of a coworker, and love this place! The El Rey Santo sandwich is so so good. The employees have always been pleasant. The restaurant itself is small and cute, in a strip mall. It can take a while to get your food as a big group, but so worth it! read more

Saw some great reviews on instagram about this place from food influencers so I decided to give it a try. Ambiance -- Inside a strip mall, so it is a bit hard to find. The inside is pleasantly decorated with dominoes on the tables and old literature books on the walls, hence, the name of the place - Cuento (Stories). However, there were baskets of uneaten food from previous customers on some of tables which made it a bit difficult to choose a seating area that was decently clean. Service -- We ordered from the counter. After a pleasant "hello", the lady told us that the didn't have their famous "pan con bistec" a/k/a - "El Cid" which I thought was unnecessary. Food -- Ordered: * Don Quixote -- a sandwich stacked with chorizo, cantipalo, smoked ham, mozzarella, provolone, Swiss, pepinillo, with mostaza lozano. Verdict: the sandwich was stacked but moderately pressed and bland. The pepinillo was flavorless and the claimed different cheeses lacked evidence of being part of the sandwich. It was a descent take on a sandwich that a classic Cuban restaurant and/or bakery can magnificently and delectably serve you without much fanfare. *Truffled Waffle Fries -- Tasty *Presentation of food -- Nice Overall, the "legendary" menu as they call it is limited and what I ordered was edible, average at best, and nothing that recognizable restaurants in the (305) area have not already perfected. A Cuban food connoisseur would be disappointed...I was. read more

I saw this place on Mr. Eats 305. I went over and ordered the pcb and a croqueta. The croqueta was decent, but the pcb was not good. I feel bad writing this because they're probably new and trying to gain customers. A pcb needs to stay true to its original ingredients and technique. If people would stop trying to change it and just perfect the original recipe, I think they could pack the house. Just my opinion. Best of luck to this new restaurant! read more

Found this little whole in the wall in Doral & as a Cuban living in Doral I'm very happy something like this is in our neighborhood. It's small space with great flavor. The space is open and ample, clean, great Cuban decor & lovely music. We ordered 3 croquetas for $8, they have 3 different flavors. The ham & chorizo croquette was out of this world matched with the yellow mustard. Feels like a Cuban Sandwich. The tortilla España sandwich is big & filling, with homemade potato sticks that tasted like malanga with some seasoning. We also had a bag of chips, which was a mix of plantain malanga and more, better than what you buy at a supermarket. The service was quick and friendly. Overall delicious, we will be coming back during the day to try out the other sandwich options! read more

I wanted to take my mom for a yummy lunch and decided to try this spot. The place is nicely decorated. The people working there were super nice and helpful. We ordered El Cid and Medio Pollito and 2 Ham & Chorizo Croquettes with.... Wait for it.... Guava Sriracha Ketchup Sauce. Both were delicious. The chicken WAS NOT greasy it was crispy and the steak WAS NOT chewy but thin and flavorful. The Guava Sriracha ketchup was soooo good with the yummy Croquettes the chorizo wasn't over powering the ham. The croquettes weren't greasy either and instead crunchy. I ended the meal with an ice coffee and my mom had the Torreja it's like French toast. The service was good and the food was good can't wait to come back for their brunch. read more

Excellent sandwich and loved the soup. I want to try the smash burger next. Great ambiance and very relaxing. Ample parking too

Saw this place on social media and decided to give it a try. The croquetas were amazing. Not sure what the sauce was, but it complimented them very well, I've never had any thing like it. The pan con bistec is definitely a spinoff from the original version, which you can get just about anywhere. It comes with a shallot compote that makes the sandwich unique. What I loved most was the portion. The sand which was large and filling. I had this for lunch and didn't eat anything else the rest of the day. I'll be coming back to the other items on the menu. read more

The pair of chefs behind Cuento Sandwiches have successfully elevated the sandwich scene in Miami with their gourmet take on Cuban classics. Michelle Duncan and David Shipman opened the shop in January 2024 after running the Purple People Eatery food truck for more than a decade. The restaurant is artfully themed around historical and literary Spanish characters ("cuento" means story), with wall art reminiscent of dominoes, accented with literary quotes and artwork. Each table has a domino set, and books are sprinkled around the space to encourage guests to stay a while. Menu highlights at Cuento include the pan con bistec-inspired El Cid (top sirloin, mozzarella, provolone, shallot compote and crispy malanga sticks, served with their pink Campeador sauce) and the media noche-inspired Don Quixote (chorizo cantimpalo, smoked ham, mozzarella, provolone, Swiss and pepinillo, served with Mostaza Lozano--a creamy light mustard that would go just as well with stone crabs as with this sandwich). Their croquettes are unlike any you've ever tasted. The cracker crust and creamy filling highlights the unique qualities of their house-made sauces. Try the ham and chorizo croquettes with the house-made guava and sriracha ketchup for an out-of-this-world bite. read more

The food, service, and ambiance of Cuento Sandwiches hits it out of the park! We started with a Yuca Rellena, oh my goodness. The.

Was there on a Saturday and no one was there ... we ordered the 3 croquetas and they were good but tiny and at $3 each pricey. Ordered Don Quixote sandwich ... it was ok but at $16 it was nothing special to it ... just a very expensive cheese sandwhich which taste the same as a $7 media noche at Latin cafeteria Had the 3 tacos and they were actually good ... a chicken, mahi and plantain one No explanation was given about the sauces served with the plates ... being the only ones there that's a lack of service I found just bad ! With no one there but the 3 of us ... took over 35 minutes for the food ... would hate to visit if this place was full ... Too much hype on Instagram for this place ... One and done will not be back ... best of luck read more

This place has amazing food. Elevated Cuban style sandwiches. Ive been multiple times and I've tried almost the entire menu. Everything has been delicious. El Cid and Don Quixote are the backbones of the menu but every other item is just as special. My personal favorite is the Sancho Panza since it is a twist on the classic Cuban Frita. The service is phenomenal, the owners go above and beyond to make sure every patrons experience in their restaurant is special. I Highly recommend this spot and must mention that these sandwiches are twists to the cuban classics. read more

Arguably the best hidden gem of a sandwich shop in Doral. Their steak sandwich and fish sandwich are delicious. Everything is made fresh and on the spot. The owners are always there making sure all the customers are happy, making sure everything is clean. Seriously if you're in Doral and are in the mood for a sandwich, this is the place. Also they make a mean cafe con leche. read more

We shared a Cuban sandwich and a frita-burger. Both were delicious! I strongly recommend to try Cuento Sandwiches.

The place looks great. The staff member was very nice and attentive. But the food was below average. I had the "CID" it's their version of a steak sandwich. It's pricey $21 and it super sweet. The sauce is sweet and the shallots they add give it another sweet addition. Not a fan of this spot first and last visit. read more

Rare gem in Miami. Croquetas are delicious, sandwiches are fresh and creative. Flan is especially creamy and memorable. Mom loved it!!! If you are looking for a traditional Cuban cafeteria experience this is not it. Born and raised in Miami to Cuban parents, I love traditional Cuban cafeteria food. However, this is not it. Cuento adds modern and happy surprises to traditional staples. Also pulling in traditional Spanish tapas influence. Highly recommend. Will be coming back. read more

Amazing food, highly recommend if you're in Miami. Service was also great, very friendly and great ambience! Definitely seems new but once word gets out this place is gonna be busy all the time read more
