It's great news when a restaurant adds a new location. Previously only located at Understory Local Cuban has expanded.
Located in the tunnels near the CenterPoint building. It's spacious and clean.
At first I was confused because there are two counters, one for ordering sandwiches and the other is for the bowls.
Friendly staff let me know how to go about ordering. Walk thru line for bowls or order at second counter for sandwiches. They are made to order but there was only one person making and handling the press and he did his best to be quick, but if it were a busy lunch rush, there'd be a long wait time for a sandwich. Hope they manage to be able to have two people to make things move quicker. And add some "order here" signage to help direct traffic.
Prices are reasonable, I got El Cubano, traditional roasted pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, my two favorite condiments: pickles and mustard on pressed Cuban bread. It's a sizable portion, but I got no flavor from the roasted pork. Tasted bland.
Ordered side of fries and they were a small soggy portion.
They did have their popular Cuban soda, Iron Beer. A caffeine free drink created in 1917 they'd reminiscent of a Dr. Pepper.
They do have additional food offerings I'm willing to try. But for me, unfortunately, this Cubano was not my favorite. read more
